Hello lovely people.. So I was in Primark yet again. I was standing in the queue waiting to pay, the queues are the longest queues ever !!, I recommend you bring a book to read while you wait, well at least to distract you from any more temptations .They have little bits and bobs for you to look (well for you to get tempted for you to possibly buy more while you wait).. bit like the sweets at the till to temp the little kids at the supermarkets, actually I think they even have sweets at the till at primark too.. lol
Anyway so I notice some nail polishes I was in two minds weather to buy this or not as Primark is cheap and cheerful the quality of things are good but not that good especially as I am a manicurist I pretty know what I would go for with regards to the quality of nail polishes ,I collect polishes so I thought I give this polish a try, plus I really like the colour. I say convincing myself the reason to spent more..

I think they retailed between £2-£2.50

Applied Wednesday 8/06/2011

To my surprise I am quite shocked at the quality not bad at all. I was quite naughty as I just wanted to test the colour first, but then ended up painting all my nails I didn't put a base or top coat on. naughty me lol. I applied 2 coats on Wednesday the 8.06.11 and today is saturday 11.06.11 only a few chips which is pretty good,Better than some high end nail polishes I have brought in the past.

Imagine if I did put a base and top coat on. I believe it could last a lot more longer..

I think this is a really nice colour you could get away with this in the summer

Saturday 11/06/11

Just a few chips

Defiantly would buy a few more

*Please remember to always put a base coat on to prevent staining on the nail plate and a top coat to seal in polish to last longer..*

Have you tried Primark nail polishes.. if so let me know what y'all think??

Hey lovely people. Yes I'm from England and maybe it's true that all brits do is talk about the weather, but you have to understand that we don't get much sun here :( so when the sun come's I have to embrace it with both arms and legs open (umm well maybe not the legs open haha!!) but you get my point.

This is such a old school song unfortunately Will smith is not the greatest rapper, (He is perfect in every other way)!! this song always makes me smile so if you are looking out the office window wishing you were outside,driving, in the park,garden,or chilling. where ever you are put this song on REPLAY!! AND JUST SMILE.. :)

Inner..outer..., .however you choose...Denim is classic and can pretty much go with just about anything. that's the beauty of it!

Some pieces that I like and wanted to share..let me know what you think??

Thought I throw this in. love this colour from Barry M :Pale blue

Look good feel great for summer

2011-04-06T10:49:00.000-07:00

Look good and feel great..
Here's a healthy eating plan that works for me, it's a bit like the raw food eating plan.. I though I would share this with you as summer is coming up and you may want to lose a little weight also leaves your skin glowing.. The first 2 weeks will be hard if you are not used to eating like this, but I promise you will see a difference if you stick to it !!.. Try it for 3 weeks and let me know..

THIS WORKS FOR ME.. I'M NO DOCTOR PLEASE CONSULTANT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING ANY HEALTHY EATING PLANS OR DETOX

Breakfast

Banana‘s, Oranges, apples, Grapes, water melon, strawberry.Dried Mango are really tasty, or dates if you have a sweet tooth like me..

Green tea or any fruit or herbal tea …lemon and Ginger. and lots of water.

LUNCH then DINNER

Bistro Salad, sliced avocado with feta cheese and grilled chicken, I don’t eat red meat but I’m sure any grilled meat is good, or salmon with sweet chili sauce is really nice. Or tinned tuna

Italian crispy salad and Vegetarian Mexican Style Quarter Pound Bean Burgers. (Grilled ) great for a barbecue Really quick and easy with feta and tomatoes, cucumber, avocado. And red onion. Sweet corn Lots of black pepper.

Instead of Salad try boiled vegetables which ever you want!! Boil with vegetable or chicken stock to give that extra taste for 5 Min's. Slightly crunchy healthier and tastes much nicer then over boiled.

Snacks

Snack a jacks
Large cheese ones really nice with banana.
Yogurts fat free
Dates
Rice cakes with Jam
Sesame snaps

Every weekend just before I go to bed I drink slimmer tea for a wash out. Be careful this stuff is really powerful!! .. DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!

Let me know if you like me to post any more pictures or do a video cooking any of the meals
Hope this works for you..

THIS WORKS FOR ME.. I'M NO DOCTOR PLEASE CONSULTANT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING ANY HEALTHY EATING PLANS OR DETOX.

Dinner
My home made jerk chicken with homemade coleslaw with beef tomatoes, avocado and sweetcorn, lots of black peeper.. yummy!!

Escada Magnetism -A real girlie scent great for spring

My all time favorite perfume its the best smell in world, It's a sweet sexy perfume.I would describe the smell as a mixture of candy floss a hint of vanilla and lavender. ummmm.

Smells gorgeous all day long ..

(I get so many compliments when wearing this)

Victoria Secret - coconut and passion- sensuous scent ,such a nice fresh smell, it's got that hint of vanilla with a twist of coconut. mist on after your bath or shower. wished they bring Victoria Secrets to the u.k

(leaves a trail of passion where ever you go) :)

So ? Sinful- If you are on a budget check this one out ,I mean this is really cheap!! Good to keep in your handbag for emergencies,smells good for the price, a scent with a hint of musk and vanilla, leaves everyone guessing what your sexy new scent is.. (Shhh.. you dont have to tell them)

Lipstick's of the moment 2011

2011-01-14T07:13:00.000-08:00

Hi Lovely ladies wanted to share with you some of these lipstick's

Lipstick swatches..

MAC AND RIMMEL

Mac - Ruby Woo -Statement red matte lipstick

Really like this colour but not sure if I have the confidence to wear it. Likely to wear this in the summer or out on the town.

I always tend to wear my lip colour with a black eye/lip liner gives it another dimension it also tones this colour down ..

More of an every day look ??..

Come back soon for the next lip stick swatch....

Eaten by Fish

2011-01-13T07:11:00.000-08:00

I took a trip down to Camden town. Camden town is one of London many popular open aired and indoor market stalls, it has lots of alternative retro clothes, vintage stores, on trend fashion shops, jewellery stores, food from all over the world and there is so much more to see. Camden town is a great place full of diversity.

I decided to venture out and try the fish pedicure I feel a little squeamish about the whole thing but excited at the same time can't wait to see what it's all about . After about an hour wondering around looking for the place I eventually came across the small shop front. Which was good as I was just about to chicken out.

Wonga fish spa is an open planned shop with maybe 8 large fish tanks umm fish bowls, pedicure bowl, fish pedicure bowl not really sure what to called them but I'm sure you get the idea. I curiously looked at these small fish swimming around looking for their next feed. Which was gonna be me..now slightly peeing my pants lol...

I was handed a warm wet towel to wipe my feet down before I could put my feet in. I took a deep breath as I plunge one of my foot into the tank, I froze as I saw all these excited looking fish swarm to my foot. Oh god !!

A while after the friendly shop assistant came up and said it does work better if you put 2 feet in. I bravely put my other foot in and watched them scatter around my other foot.

It was quite relaxing after you forget you have a load of fish eating and nibble your dead skin slightly feels like mini bubbles. 15 Min's later it was time take my feet out. To my surprise my feet definitely felt softer and smoother.

The fish: toothless Garra rufa fish Originally from southern Turkey and northern Syria, for centuries Garra Rufa, have been known for treating skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema and for there exfoliating abilities to softening and cleansing the skin.

Happy Birthday big sis !!

2011-01-12T02:34:00.000-08:00

Hi guys hope you well. Hope you all had a fab start to the new year .

Today its my birthday I won't tell my age but I'm in me earlier 30's :( although I still feel 18..

I woke up and felt quite sad one because it's its freezing cold and grey, ( note to myself ,I so want to immigrate to a hot country very SOON!!)

Second being that It is my sister's birthday today as well we are not twins she is 7 years older then me. but we haven't spoken to each other for maybe the last 3 years. .We were quite close until 2007 when my nephew suddenly died for cutting his finger. "Short story he cut his finger went to hospital to stitch the cut and died, strange uh".. Anyway maybe a year after we then drifted apart.

I do have a tendency to lock people out and deal with situations on my own and that's maybe the reasons why we are no longer close . I really hope she knows that I do still care. It's just really hard to look at her to see the hurt that she is going though. and of course she a resembles my nephew . We have big almond shape eyes in our family I can read my sister though her eyes when she smiles she doesn't smile though her eyes and that freaking hurts..

She is an amazing beautiful successful business women She is a pied piper and and has this way about her that she attracts people. she kind and caring and very inspirational.

Anyway all I really want to say is have a FAB BIRTHDAY BIG SIS!! hope you get all the things you desires and I hope you know that I may not always be around but I'm always here. Love you loads.. xx

Is anyone else going though the same situation? would love to hear your stories..

Ive been inspired by the animal print

2010-12-25T06:35:00.000-08:00

Leopard print clothing is a fashion trend that has steadily growing though out the years. It now includes other animal skins, for example, zebra, cheetah, jaguar, cow, giraffe and tiger.

I wasn't a greatest fan of the animal prints. it always reminded me to quite trashy and only certain types of women would wear these prints. But it has now evolved into a must wear part of clothing.

Over the years I have defiantly become more experimental with my fashion style and I have found a way just to add a spot of animal print to my wardrobe..

Bracelets- Primark and New look

Zebra Print make up bag-Primark

Giraffe print Cardigan- H&M

Cheetah print Bag -Primark

half moon design

2010-11-13T11:27:00.000-08:00

Hi so i've been inspired to do a nail design tutorial. on the half moon design.
It all started in the 1920 women would spend so much time on your nails which meant you were of a higher class. As the name reveals a half moon manicure is a totally painted nail with a tiny half-moon left bare or colored lightly at the base of every fingernail.

-

Many celebrities seem to have great pleasure in wearing the half moon nails, Dita von Teese is only one of them. She seems to have a fatal attraction for it, never leaving the house without a polished half-moon manicure.

We've made it more current by elongating the half-moon and making the colours more graphic in contrast

Here I have done the half moon with an extra twist

- The dark coloured nail polish ( Sapphire in the snow by OPI )

- The lighter colour ( Done out in Decco )
(Purple Nail Art Stars)

Remember to always use a good base coat and top coat to seal in the polish.

watch the video below ;to see how its been done..

IS IT ALL TURE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT E.L.F

2010-07-26T10:25:00.000-07:00

This morning I got my big brown box box full of goodies really impress as i ordered my suff on thursday night and received my stuff on today saturday. So i thought I try this product that everyone seems to be raving about, I was quite shock with regards to the prices. very reasonable and the selections of the colours are not to bad at all. although would of like to seen more bright bold colours.

What e.l.f says ;

This color-lock formula with chip resistant shield gives long lasting nail color with high shine. The aerodynamic bristle design glides color on flawlessly, while the quick dry formula gives perfect application every time. Key nutrients give nails that natural shine, infused with Vitamin E for stronger, healthier nails.

Now I wouldn't say this is the best product on the market, but I do think it is worth investing in a few polishes from them as the polishes are only £1.50 yep £1.50!! that's all and the postage and package is only £2.95 , also whats good is that these polishes have no nasties in them, The polishes are Toluene free and formaldehyde free. great if anyone has any allergic reactions to nail polish, but always read the polish label before hand . The colours are OK and some of the polishes that are on the website don't quite look the same when you get them. but overall quite happy with what I got.

1562 innocent.opaque

I used three coats, doesn't look that great in the bottle but I do really like this colour, really natural looking can be worn with everything ..looks good on short or long nails goes with all skin tones..

1511 Medium Red.
used three coats the nail polish brush isn't that great on this one so made it hard to paint neat, I liked how it looked on the website this colour look more deep, not a fan of this colour but I'm not that keen on on reds on me anyway,

The brush wasn't great which made applying the nail polish not very smooth and neat.. but not a major problem as you can always cut that little bit off.

1540 Chocolate

I do like this colour rich chocolate nice for Autumn/winter colour I uses three coats.

1560 Desert haze. opaque

love this colour its a beige/slightly Grey colour. look great on short nails and all skin tone . If you like 1562 innocent.opaque you will love this colour too. used three coats .

1544 Mod Mauve

Really disappointed with this colour, does not look like the same colour on the website, completely different.. not keen on it at all.. used three coats...

1515 Plum

Again doesn't look like the same colour that shows on the website. as on the website it looks more purple..it does have a slight mauve hint and very deep almost black in colour . Although I do like this colour and will defiantly rock this colour in the winter.

e.l.f just doesn't do nail polishes they have a whole range of beauty product and make up too.
Let me know what you think

Hi guys welcome

Urbanchic4u is all about nails,nails and more nails. We will be doing reviews on the nail polishes, what's colours that are on trend, celebrity nails,how to look after your own nails at home and lots more.

Just a little bit about your nails

Healthy nails are smooth, without ridges or grooves. They're uniform in color and consistency and free of spots or discoloration. Nails can develop harmless conditions, such as vertical ridges that run from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. Vertical ridges become more prominent with age. Nails can also develop white lines or spots due to injury, but these eventually grow out with the nail.

Nails are the most neglected part of your hand. Did you know we use our hand at least 90/% of the time. Why do we some times neglect them?. In the recent years the market for nail services and products has risen and we are spending much more on looking after our nails especially in England nails are not just a luxury I believe we are now starting to believe it is an essential part of our every day appearance.

Sweetie Heaven

Colours just good enough to eat

Will you be rocking these colours this season !!

As we know pastel shades are this seasons trends. I really do like the colours!! Lots of pinks, chalky blue, purple, yellows, mint greens,Great in the summer,

The colours are matte which is also great as matte polish looks great on all lengths of nails. But even better on short nails..

There are lots of colours and brands on the market, Check out Barry M nails polishes, they have a fabulous colour range . The quality and the full coverage are quite good, and the prices are excellent £2.95 you really can't go wrong.

Barry M - Baby Pink great colour , this colour is very popular!! Tip: always remember to squeak clean your nails with a cotton wool and nail polish remover to remove any oil or dust from you nails. It will help the polish to go on smooth also polish will last a lot longer. Always apply a good base coat to prevent staining of the nail plate. we don't want yellow stained nails , not a good look!!.

Barry M - MINT GREEN. when I first saw this colour wasn't quite sure, thought I try it any way. It is now one of my favorite colours !! Love the coverage its goes on really nice, you would need two coats and please invest in good top coat to help make your polish last a lot longer . good for all skin tones.

looks great with jeans and a white t.shirt. or a nice white dress.
