imPRESS Nail Review.....

If you're anything like us, then you will dream of beautiful nails with minimal work! We have tried every nail strengthening product on the market just to achieve the desired look but still haven't found anything we are in love with....yet. 



There has been quite some hype around imPRESS nails, so we have have been desperate to try these out. There was quite a large range of designs available from completely clear, ready to paint any colour to lace patterns and coloured tips. We opted for the classic french manicure design (£8.99) for our trial. 

The packaging claims that these may last up to one week and are extremely easy to apply! Application does stay true to it's word as all you need to do is peel off the adhesive strips, press them into place and go! We really loved the look of them once they were in place and followed the instructions to the letter. The instructions recommend not getting your hands or nails wet for up to 30 minutes after application. We played it safe and kept our hands out of water for well over an hour to try and ensure that the nails had the best chance of survival!

The nails did feel really quite secure once they were on which was great. Although, as the adhesive is not applied all the way up the length of the nail, so they can start to feel quite loose if caught on something. 

In order to give the nails half a chance at surviving, I put them on on Saturday before going out for dinner. They lasted the night very well and all of the following day. With a dance class, audition workshop and singing class. Unfortunately on the Monday the index finger nail came off. I tried to see if one of the spares would fit but none of them were really the right size. I opted to leave them as they were to see how long the rest of them lasted. I managed to keep the remaining 9 nails in place until the Thursday - so 5 days in total.

Although they didn't quite last the full week that they claim to, I thought that the look of these were great and I would absolutely purchase them again for  a one day event. A wedding or night out would be perfect for imPRESS nails!

Overall I feel that these were £8.99 well spent. I think I would keep some nail glue in my purse at all times just in case I was to lose one during the day as one nail falling off was not quite the look we were going for!

Poor Unfortunate Souls - Ursula Halloween Looks!

Hi Lovelies,

So, this is a little bit later than we expected BUT thank you so so much for checking out our Ursula from The Little Mermaid Halloween looks!

We have had some computer trouble over the last week and we were very concerned that our videos would be lost forever! Thank fully it all came good in the end! We were most concerned that we would have to re shoot this video, which would not have been ideal! It took 15 takes just to get the introduction and end bit because we were so tired and had a serious case of the giggles! Thankfully, we got there in the end!


This is Orla's full on make up look for Ursula - This would be perfect for any belated Halloween parties or general cosplay!



Christine designed this more every day/glam look for Ursula - Inspired by the colours her character uses in the film!

Topshop Autumn Day Look Wishlist - Orla

Happy Halloween!

Ta da! It's Orla's favourite Topshop picks! What do you think of this look? It's made up of pieces that Orla chose from Topshop to create her Autumn day look! We thought it would be a nice idea for us to show you our favourite picks individually as we have quite different styles. Christine tends to go for more girly patterns and cuts, while Orla favours slightly more tomboy trends.

What's This? A Nightmare Before Christmas Tutorial...

Welcome to the first of our Halloween make up tutorials! 




If you've read our previous blog posts, you may have seen that we spent three days in Disneyland Paris last week. it was all decked out with pumpkins, ghosts and ghouls at every corner. While we were there were inspired by some of their spooky characters and villains. When you really look at Disney Villains, you begin to see that they are usually quite fabulous! Think of Mother Gothel from Tangled or even fashion obsessed Cruella De Vil. Everything is about looks, appearances and being delightfully villainous. With this in mind, we wanted to try and recreate the signature looks from some of these famous villains for you to try yourselves. 



We toyed with ideas about how to do this, as normally a tutorial only requires one person. We were both completely inspired and had ideas flowing for this venture so decided instead of choosing one character each, we would do two tutorials for each character!


-          One with a full make up look to transform you into the character – perfect of a Halloween party!


-    The other, an inspired look design that is more subtle but could be worn if you don’t have a party to attend or want something a little more every day.



We are really happy with both of these looks and hope you have just as much fun watching and recreating them as we did designing them!

Keep your eyes peeled for the next Villain in our Halloween series…..only ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ would miss it!
