Review - Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps

In my last haul I showed you some nail wraps that I picked up in the ASOS sale.
Nail Rock Desinger Nail Wraps
£3.95 - down from £6.70

These are a cheaper alternative to minx nails that you can apply with a hair dryer. I was really looking forward to trying these, but sadly was not impressed.

They were quite easy to apply, there's lots of different sizes in the pack and you just need to trim them to size.  Easy enough!
You then need to apply the heat with a hair dryer, but they just wouldn't stick! I spent so long trying to get them to stick, and when they finally did I just wasn't impressed with how they looked. It just looked tacky and cheap, and it felt like they were going to peel off.

I wore them to work all day, and this was the result at the end of the day.


I was down to 1 nail - bad times! I work in an office, so it's not like my hands are particularly put through hell during an average day. The edges just kept peeling up and it drove me mad! One of the men in my office also asked me why I had stickers on my nails, not good.

I'm not sure whether my application was just plain rubbish, but I did spend quite a lot of time following the instructions and applying the heat. Either way, it boasts to be quick and easy which it certainly was not so unless your some kind of nail wrap whiz I would steer clear of these wraps.

Has anyone else ever tried these? Are there any other nail wraps that are better than these?



Dress of the Week

This weeks dress of the week is from New Look! It's a gorgeous vintage inspired sequin dress, perfect for the Christmas party season!

The shoes are also from New Look - it's definitely essential to go for a plan shoe with this dress, otherwise you may end up looking like a Christmas tree!
Both from New Look.

I hope your all having a wonderful weekend!

Ultimate obsession - Music Videos

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
Jimi Hendrix

First of all I want to say a BIG thank you to all your lovely comments on my last post. Each and everyone has brought a smile to my face when I've really needed it :)
I thought I'd do a really quick post of some of the music videos I'm watching at the moment. I have a big obsession with music videos, if I find one I love then I'll watch it over and over again until I literally am sick of the site of it. I love the thought & production that goes with it, as well as the music of course!
Here's my current top 10 that have been getting me through a rubbishy week!

:(

So I just wanted to do a really quick post to let you know that I am still blogging, I've had a really rubbishy week involving a taxi driver crashing into my new car :( Very scary but luckily no-body was hurt. I'm now spending countless hours on the phone to my insurance company (who are being an absolute NIGHTMARE) so I've not got time for blogging, but please don't go anywhere as I will be back soon.

I can't believe I have over 50 followers, I know it might not seem much but it's really wierd to think that 50 people check out my blog :)

As the car crash happened on my way back from a Charlie Simpson gig, I'm going to share a video with you!
Enjoy :)
