We have two Sally’s in Bangor, I’d already looted the main street one which was disappointingly thin on the ground for bargains. This morning I turned my attention to their Conlig (Balloo Industrial Estate) site.
The sales assistant was really friendly and helpful. She was explaining to me that a lot of people don’t use her store as they mistakenly assume it is trade only, hence a much better level of stock and reductions. I was in heaven.
The entire O.P.I “Holiday in Toyland” collection was reduced to under half price. £3.99 each and that includes the VAT already. The collection consists of 12 beautiful Christmas shades, predominantly red as it was the festive season obviously. I’ve bright reds coming out of my ears and so I picked out “Sheer” Your Toys. A beautiful light grey, mauve undertones and the most subtle red fine glitter throughout. I tried to capture it on the camera but its far too fine to pick up.
I don’t have good nails. They have always been weakish and a set of acrylics for my wedding last summer just sent them over the edge.
I also have to keep my nails short for working on people’s faces, I’m not allowed to wear polish at all in college due to clients’s potential allergies, and the constant hand washing for hygiene and brush cleanser use is also playing havoc with the density of my nails and the skin on my hands. Solution?
Well… I mentioned a while back how I had purchased O.P.I’s Original Nail Envy and its been an absolute “nail” saver. My nails are improving everyday and they aren’t tearing like they were. I’m also still using Seche Vite as a top coat and can’t recommend it highly enough. I know a few people use the Sally Hansen Rapid Dry Spray to set their nail varnish. IMO this is much better as it doesn’t dull the polish where I find the sprays do. The lacquer keeps its high shine. You can purcase it on Ebay for a few pounds.
Whats on your nails today people? xox

oohhhh sounds like I need to get myself down to Conlig!
My nails are pretty poor also, well used to be until I had a marriage in heaven with nail envy. The trick I have found which really does work- apply 2 coats to clean nails , then your usual colour and apply one coat every second day on top of your colour. Continue for one week, remove it all and start again. Honestly it really does work and they get sooo strong and long even if it does require patience and time.
I usually do this for about 6 weeks then switch to Nail Envy Peeling 2 weeks with that for those little layers that build up, then back to the orginal Strengthener
Whilst Im on my OPI rant their cuticle oil is fab- it comes in a tube with a brush to apply every night(keep it beside your hand cream) and finally don't get me started on their top coat and drip dry… whole other story!!
