Not much point in writing about myself seen as how that's what my blog will be about but heres some background information: I'm blunt & direct and some people can't handle it. I don't sugar coat. Too many people around me have died or had awful things happen to them and so I've become somewhat immune to shock and sometimes seem cold towards others. I've had too much pain in my life to go out of my way to affect or hurt others. Life is too short and I don't ever want people to hurt or be scarred the way I have been. Life is better now than it has been in a long time and I think I'm finally learning to love, trust and live again.

Nail care!


Recently, I was given some really brilliant advice in regards to nail care. 
I've always had a problem with my cuticles, they just constantly grow and no amount of pushing them down was helping, they always looked a mess & weren't a good frame for my nail polish. 
So, I purchased the cuticle oil I was recommended (Sally's cuticle oil, it smells like watermelons!!!!! :))
Also a pair of nice, sharp cuticle nippers (Superdrug) 
Luckily enough, I already owned a nail hoof. 
Finally, my favourite hand cream of the moment is Soap & Glory Hand Butter. Smells great and keep your cuticles supple!

So, this is the advice I was given;

• Put a small amount of cuticle oil on the base of every single nail.
• Leave for ten minutes.
• using the flat end of your hoof, gently in a circular motion, push your cuticles down & then using the hoof, remove the remaining cuticle from the nail bed.
• Using the cuticle nippers, 'nip' off the overhang & lumpy bits of cuticle that look a mess.
• Wash, dry & moisturise hands.
• Repeat once or twice a week, as needed. 

So having followed this advice around twice a week for 2 weeks & using a lot more moisturiser on my hands and nails than I normally would, my nails are looking amazing. 
I'm really astounded by the results from only 2 weeks! 
Today I wore nail polish for the first time since starting the regime & it glided on smoothly & looks much neater around the cuticles. I'm so pleased! 
Home manicures are definitely the way forward!

People! - Stop using acrylics too! When will you realise how damaging they are?! Natural is best. I'm chuffed! :D

    Thank you for the advice :-) I had acrylics done for years and it's the worst thing I ever chose to do! So damaging to your nails...home manicures in future definitely! Xx
