Grrr it's happened again! Not worn polish on my fingers for ages, but when I do it starts to 'crack' on the tips. Imagine tapping a spoon onto a hard boiled egg, It looks like that. So annoying! It also happened the one and only time I had gel overlay on my fingers too. I would rather...

Is this Grafton International the official Graftons website? Im asking because I clicked on event's and the dates are showing as 2009! There is also nothing on there about Orly GelFX which I find both strange and not very good of them if this is their one and only website! So just...

Hi geeks! Well just had some very good news from my solicitor this morning about my personal injury case. The other side have made an offer (more than I thought would be) and I have accepted. Now I'm not going to spend it all but I'm 100% getting Shellac yey! But just pondering on what else to...

Ok so I'm nosying round Living Social to see if there are any hair deals at the mo when I come across a Shellac deal. I click through to check the website out and there's a pretty standard pricing of £25 for Shellac, a slightly high (IMO) pricing of £30 for Callus peel, but then I click on...

Had a voicemail on my phone from someone saying they are from 'The Beauty Salons Classification of Yale' She has a really strong Scottish accent so not 100% thats what she's saying but it's what I'm hearing! I have googled this and done a search here and found nothing. I'm wondering what...

So im sat here with QVC on (not something i do often)! and Nails Inc are on with an AMAZING polish! It basically has a magnet in the lid and you hold the magnet over the 2nd coat and it gives it a 'wavy' pattern. It looks so good! Very clever and i was so impressed that if i had some dosh...
