Myleene Klass Nails

If you know me at all you know I love my nail art. I am by no means an expert but I enjoy it all the same. With over one hundred bottles of lovelyness to my name I am a bit of a nail varnish addict too. When I first heard about nail wraps I was so against them it wasn't even funny. Talk about taking all the fun out of painting your nails. I really like sitting down and painting my nails while catching up on my favourite television programmes. It's something I have watched my mam do since I was a little blogger in the making! 

I have to admit painting my nails can be a bit of a pain when I'm in a hurry and I think that's why nail wraps have become so popular. Zero drying time, no chipping or smudging. 

I really liked these wraps compared to other brands I have tried. The quality is much better. Packaging is great and you get twenty four wraps in each pack. I was really excited to see a nail file included in there along with instructions on how to prepare your nails, tips on how to prolong the wear and easy to follow instructions on how to apply. All for just €6.99. Myleene Klass Nails are available in Heatons and Debenhams. You can also buy them on-line at JMLdirect.

Thank you for the Blog Awards

I entered the Osprey hotel on Saturday night, my stomach was doing summersaults. I was excited for the night ahead, about meeting people I knew but had never met, excited about not having a clue what to expect from the night. For anyone who knows me you won't be shocked to hear I was excited about dinner!! 

I was up for the Best Video Blog and it wasn't until I entered the award room that it dawned on me that this was a big moment! My mam rang me the night before to make sure I didn't forget to thank her when I was accepting my award and I laughed her off the phone. 

The category I was in was literally one of the last to be announced and boy with each passing category being announced the butterflys in my stomach which began as a flutter where buzzing around like mad! My partner kept squeezing my hand and saying " You have it, you are amazing". When I saw my blog/youtube name appear on the screen I thought to myself , wouldn't it be AMAZING if I won. Within seconds the moment was over. My name was not called out.

Even though I didn't win, you know what? I spent the whole night smiling and laughing with great people. I made new friends. I had phenomenal support from the early nomination stages up until the moment I sat down for dinner on the night. I can't believe the wonderful support I received. If I could give you all a big hug I would.  

Making it as far as I did, I still can't believe it. I'm excited about the future. I'm excited about my future blogging. I am so grateful for all the wonderful friends I have made along the way. 

I have my certificate framed and sitting on my desk to remind me that as amazing as it would have been to win I don't need an award to know that I am apart of something wonderful.

I love being a blogger/vlogger.

Thank YOU for taking the time to read my blog and to watch my videos. 

Love,

Sarah

Barry M Web Effect and NYC Hallowe'en Nails

I was in Superdrug during the week and at the moment Barry M are giving away a bottle of limited edition Web Effect when you buy two or more Barry M products. I bought some other polishes for beauty swaps I am doing at the moment and got myself a free bottle worth €4.75.

I painted my nails using NYC's City Blackout. I love NYC for their variety of colours and affordable prices. City Blackout costs €1.99 and only one coat was needed for the results in the photo above.

Instructions for Barry M Web Effect.

1. Apply a thin coat of your chosen nail polish....CHECK
2. Wait one to two minutes until nails are touch dry. Do not apply on dry nails......CHECK
3. Apply a thin coat of Web Nail Effects.....Check
4. Wait three minutes and the effects will soon appear......Check

I waited three minutes and sure enough the effect did begin to appear but unfortunately as you can tell in the photo the effect is far from web like. I have checked out other reviews on this polish and everyone else got the same results. I like the end result with the orange (more of a crackle like effect) over the black but I am a little disappointed in this product not looking like the design on the lid and I am glad I didn't pay €4.75 for it. 

NYC have also brought out this Demon Glow Top Coat for hallowe'en which glows an eerie green under ultra-violet lights. It costs €2.49.

Happy Haunting!
