‘Devine Nails’ Company & Product Review – False Stick on Nails custom made

Today I would like to review an up and coming company that I recently discovered on Twitter and Facebook thanks to the genius #hashtag that is #twittersisters which takes place on a Thursday evening between 8:30pm-9:30pm GMT.  Devine Nails make and design custom made stick on nails, you pick the shape, design, colours and let them do the rest.  The company is based in Northern Ireland but can post worldwide.  All the nails are hand painted by Laura at Devine Nails.
I spent AGES trawling their Facebook and Instagram pages seeking out what design I would like most and in the end finally settled on one with a small amendment.

I simply messaged Laura through her Facebook page and discussed my requirements with her.  She will send you out a nail size guide which basically consists of 10 different sized blank false nails which you tally up to your own size finger nails and let her know what size you need for each of your fingers.  Laura will then get to work straight away with making your custom design!

I think a set of Devine Nails are really great value for money, my set cost me £7.00 including postage.  They get sent in a cute organza bag with a couple of spares in case you lose any and also with a small tube of nail glue.  I must admit I chose not to use the nail glue and instead use some Elegant Touch false nail stickers which I picked up from my local Boots which meant I can just peel them off and reuse the nails without spoiling the underneath of them with glue.

I received really great feedback from friends and colleagues at my work Christmas party about my Devine Nails and was very proud to show them off!  All in all I received a great service from Laura and really cannot thank her enough.  I find it is very rare to find something that is good value for money nowadays but these certainly are.
Make sure you take a look, ‘Like’ her Facebook page, Follower her on Twitter @DevineNails1 and nab yourself a set ASAP!

New Years Resolutions 2014


Hello my little sparkles

Today's post is going to be a bit of a different one for me. As it is written on 1 January 2014 I have decided to document some New Years Resolutions which hopefully you can remind me to stick to throughout the year!  They will include the classic get fit and eat healthy but with hopefully a few personal ones thrown in too.

So here it goes:-
  • Exercise more and maintain my goal weight (see, I told ya!)
  • Eat healthier meals
  • Spruce up my blog and give it a new lease of life.
  • Spend more time working on and promoting my blog
  • Reach 100 followers on my blog.
  • Write 100 posts this year on my blog (not pointless ones though, they must all have substantial value).
 I would like my blog to become more of a documentation on lifes journey and a place a can have chats and discussions regarding things as well as the nail designs, DIY crafts and beauty reviews, more of a "Dear Diary" type place.  I hope you would like to join me on this journey and help me to find my "inner blogger".

What are your New Year's resolutions? Please feel free to post links to your blogs below, I would love to find like minded people to follow and read.

Happy New Year sparklers.
