Groupon Deal: £8 for £20 to spend on Naked products

Another Groupon deal I couldn't pass up! I've always wanted to try Naked products and this is the perfect excuse.

I had Groupon credit so actually got this deal for free and will only have to pay P&P. That's £4 for £20 worth of products! I want to try the salt scrub, a hair conditioning mask and their body butter (Body butter is my weakness).

This deal ends tomorrow night. Click here to go to the deal and click here to go to the Naked website.

Kelier Crackle Polish

I'm not a fan of shatter/crackle polishes but I have to admit, I like this one. I prefer this 'shattered glass' effect rather than the likes of Barry M's Nail Effects, which can look messy.

This is another product from Born Pretty Store and costs $4.52 (Around £2.80). I've just looked on the site and can only find the green and yellow shades of this; the rest of the crackle polishes are from another brand (And have that Barry M-like effect which I'm not fond of). Click here to take a look at the crackle polishes available.

This flakes off extremely easily so you have to be careful not to move your fingers before you apply a top coat. Also, it is hard to remove with nail polish remover (It took me 10 minutes to remove this polish from 5 finger nails). Although the formula isn't the best, the effect is really nice and the price is so affordable!

Oh and, the colour I'm wearing underneath is China Glaze's For Audrey.

Nail tattoos

I like the idea of nail tattoos - nail art for the lazy :P

The nail tattoos I'm reviewing today are from Born Pretty Store and you can buy them here for $4.73, which is around £2.88.

I'm not too keen on the patterns in this pack and only like three designs; leopard (Top row, second column), giraffe (Second row, third column) and zebra print (Third row, second column). The Louis Vuitton designs are extremely tacky.

The instructions. Notice a few spelling mistakes?

These are extremely easy to use and you just apply them like you would with a fake tattoo.

I tried out the zebra design with the polish I have been wearing this week (Barry M's Coral):

Because I couldn't be bothered to change my polish, the design looks more like tiger print!

I cannot wait to try the other two designs I like and will most likely wear a nude base polish.

I will probably only wear the tattoos on my ring finger and maybe my thumb. This is because I want the tattoos to last and if I put a design on all of my fingers, I will use an entire square (They're not that big).

I love the idea of nail tattoos but I'm not a huge fan on the selection of designs with this particular pack. That being said, this pack is only a few pounds are there is free shipping with Born Pretty Store :)

Nails Of The Week!

Barry M Nail Paint in Coral.

I haven't worn this polish since last Summer and forgot how much I love it. It's called Coral and is quite simply... a coral. I've had this polish for 1 year 9 months and the formulation is the same as when I first purchased it :)

Someday Summary - Friday

• Jacks (Or Jax as my dad prefers to spell it) went 'missing' for 2 1/2 weeks. We weren't particularly worried because it's 'mating season' (He had the chop about a month ago though, poor sod). On Tuesday my dad found him chillin' in someone's garden a few streets away haha. We decided to get him a collar so people know where to return him if he goes walk abouts again. It's black and sparkly and he looks adorable!

He kept moving, hence the side shot but this photo shows you the collar well.

• Also on Tuesday, I drank 1L 250ml of water! I know the recommended amount is 2L but I'm still proud of myself. The only water I normally drink is in a few cups of teas a day. I'm going to try and drink more because I'm sure my body is suffering from the little amount it gets. My muscles keep pulling themselves and they're so painful that I cannot move for about 5 minutes. I'm guessing this is because of water deficiency. Drinking water will also make my skin look better!

• I'm stressing out about exams. One month left people! I'm worried about English and Media (Not so much Psychology). I get my results on the 18th August and before I collect them, I can log into Ucas to see if I've been accepted into the Uni's I've applied for. Imagine if they say I haven't got a place... I'm going to have to go into school to collect my results, knowing I've done bad. The 18th is also my sister's birthday so if my results are poor, I'm going to be crying on her happy occasion.

• Most people in my year either have a job, can drive, go 'clubbing' or are having sex. I do none of these things and it makes me feel like a child. I don't have the: confidence to get a job, money to learn to drive, friends to go 'clubbing' and I don't have a boyfriend. In fact, I've never had a boyfriend and I'm 18. How pathetic is that?

My favourite cleanser is nearly gone! Thankfully I have a back up of The Body Shop's Vitamin E Facial Cleansing Bar. Review can be found here. I wrote the review 11 months ago and it's only just running out!

Hair Of The Day

I normally wear my hair straight but decided to do something different today. My natural hair was looking rather nice so I just added a few loose curls. I don't like leaving the house with natural hair because I feel scruffy so felt the need to tweak my hair with the curling tongs. I was also going to do a FOTD but the photos were awful!

China Glaze For Audrey

I've been waiting to wear this polish for a week! I had a few cuts on my fingers so was waiting for them to heal before I took any photos. This is my first China Glaze polish and I love it! This is one of China Glaze's most famous shades and I can see why. I bought it from a seller called enchantedbeautyspot on eBay for around £4.50 including delivery. It arrived from America in just over a week which is pretty good! beautyzone2007 is also another great seller for China Glaze, OPI, Essie etc. The next shades I'm going to order are Flyin' High and High Hopes from the Up and Away collection :)
