I have tried every solution, cream and treatment going but nothing seems to work for me.  I was paying around £40 for a set at the salon, which would last me around 3 weeks. It was draining my bank account, appointments were hard to get hold of and I hated the health of my nails after they were removed.  Being http://siankillean.blogspot.com/2017/07/nude-nails-look-for-less-revlon-perfect.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sian Killean)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887059740705108708.post-6653721834061932619Thu, 22 Jun 2017 16:13:00 +00002017-06-29T13:46:12.961-07:00 I recently came back from a trip away to Valencia, and for the week that I was there it was non-stop. I went out with my family but joined my two friends on the last three days of my trip.

(Lies, I had a full wardrobe, just didn't fancy wearing any of it!) I didn't have the intentions of spending as much as I did, but things caught my eye and ended up in my basket. So, I thought I would review some products that I am loving and loathing at the moment.

I went to my local B&Q and spent a while deciding on which covering to go for.

I already had a vision of what I wanted my completed DIY to look like, which saved me a lot of time and money. I would advise doing this too as it will help you to stay motivated when completing the project.

The spritz contains green tea and aloe vera gel, which helps to hydrate and keep your skin dewy and fresh throughout the day. I added cloves into my recipe, but if you don't like this warm undertone you can just use rose.

After researching different chemicals that are used in products, I decided I would use as many chemical-free alternatives as I could.
