Poundland Nail Foil review...

Okay so I've only ever written one Blog post before so bare with me I'm new to this :) 

So I've been seeing a lot of the Nail Rock wraps on the website etc and was really intrigued - they looked really smart and quite easy to do - HOWEVER I'm a mummy on a budget, I always feel too guilty to spend money etc on make up when could use it for something for kids, so spending £7 odd pound on nail wraps wasn't going to happen sadly! 

So out and about I noticed a lot of shops doing cheaper version, I even saw them in Primark for a quid so today I went out with the intention of picking some up for cheap just so I could see how they look; I tried Bodycare but no such luck, then home bargains - same result, so I head into Poundland not expecting to find much but I was pleasantly surprised not 1 but 2 different designs!
They had 1 silver pattern with a few pink stripes and 1 black pattern with silver stars; I went for the black ones. Getting home I unfortunately have laundry to put away (LOTS OF IT in my house) but all I really want to do is try these bad boys on for size; so I get settled read the instructions - seems simple enough and get started.

UH OH! okay so the explanation is clear and simple, but doing it is a lot trickier than it seems - especially with someone who shakes a lot when doing anything involving stillness & concentration (my friends call me shaky steve.)
So I get the first nail on, use the scissors to trim most of the length on then use nail clippers to trip it to shape - I decided it didn't look TOO awful and carried on (start what you finish and all that..) so 9 fingers later and I've got a full set of nail foils :)
Now if someone with a steadier hand and sharper nail clippers would have been doing them for me I know they would have done a much better job; but for my first try I'm quite happy with them :) I've had them on for about 2 hours now tidying & typing and a few bits are flicking up in the corners where I cant trip them close enough to the skin but all in all I reckon for a meagre £1 you cannot knock them if you want something for a night out but I wouldn't expect them too last too long! I'll update in a few days to see how they coped! I also got some Poundland Eyelashes as well so I might do a review of them for you... you'll have to wait & see :)

Thanks for Reading

When I first started off doing Pole I really struggled with the bruises on the feet doing things such as 'the crucifix' and 'the fireman' but now we've moved onto the really hard stuff upside down which is using all my thighs and I have had some killer marks, this is to things such as 'cross knee' going into 'the pole sit' and 'cross ankle' I can honestly say my pole dancing lessons are the most enjoyable thing and I have now started doing Acrobatic Hoop.

My First Blog :)

Well I decided I will give Blogging a try and see how it goes - you will probably find I rample on a lot about my 2 beautiful kids, that is simply because I can't help myself. I am a megga proud mumma!!! I have a 2 and a half year old daughter, Rebecca, and a 3 and half month old son, Jacob or as Becky calls him JaKob! (emphasis on the Kob) lol I am currently moving house so my fiancée and his brothers have been spending most of their time painting it all pretty to move into, I am SO excited to be able to make it our own thanks to private letting :)


I left dropped out of college after a week when 16 and not long after having temporary work at Argos I found myself pregnant :) me and my fiancée have been together 4 years on the 26th of this month :) 


at the moment I am not in college or work as I don't want to miss out on these important mile stones in our children's life but I eventually hope to go back into college and do beauty - I may be starting an evening class in September doing Acrylic nails :) it's a stepping stone :)!!! 


anyhow that's a little about me :) hope you enjoy!!! (ps I JUST FOUND OUT I'M GOING TO SEE GLEE ON THE 22ND OF THIS MONTH WITH MY SISTER IN LAW - excited much :) ) xo
