Micro Cell Nail Repair






Microcell Nail Repair

Hey Boys and Girls, I am back again hope you did not miss me too much.
I am back today which a product that is nice and simple to use.
I cant stress enough how annoying it is when my nails break.


I can do anything from folding laundry to putting on daughters tights and my nails will break.
I do not really get manicures or anything with my busy life of been a mum housewife and blogger. Even when i get a bit of me time I don't get the whole manicure thing as i have tried false nails before and they broke in 5 mins of doing housework ie washing up mopping, cooking opening jars it seems if you are busy person who uses hands A lot then manicures really can be a pain.

Anyway I spoke to micro cell after attending the pro beauty event and they was willing to send me a small product to try to try help my nails be stronger and so I can fit 5 mins in to paint them at least so they look pretty without the need of needing a manicure at a salon which don't last.



What the Microcell website says about the product


Micro Cell Nail Repair
FOR BEAUTIFUL STRONG NAILS IN 2-3 WEEKS

NAIL REPAIR has been specially developed for soft and brittle nails. The unique effect is based on the recovery of protein molecules in the stratum corneum. Damaged nails are strengthened and protected against tearing and splintering of the nail tips. Even after a short application time the nail grows noticeably stronger and more resistant, without losing its flexibility

Application

Protect cuticles with grease or oil and apply one layer of NAIL REPAIR on two consecutive days. On the third treatment day remove all varnish layers with NAIL REMOVER REPAIR and repeat the treatment as on the first and second day.




My Experience




After opening the lid and looking at the polish as it glided on my nails with ease I thought to myself this is just like a clear nail polish but the only difference is this glided on better and felt nice on the nails.

So I used it on consecutive days noticed a big difference in my nails they felt a lot stronger than they were before as normally my nails would snap at the smallest thing as mentioned above.
Anyway once I was happy that I liked the product and it was easy to use I used it as a base coat.
Anyway using it as a base coat I had a little play around with my nail polishes as I own a few but hardly wear them that often due to been busy with things and been indecisive as always.
which explains the photos below of the dif style nails I have been doing using the microcell nail repair as a nice base coat which I must say is the best base coat I have used so far.


PhotosNail designs by me








Overall Verdict

10/10


I really like the microcell especially as the base coat for nails, you could even wear the microcell nail repair on its own if you wish, or if you like a little colour why not go for mysterious black, or passion red? or if you're a little funky like me why not multicoloured or splatter effect?
The options of colours patterns and designs are endless, express yourself and live a little.

Microcell is easy to use not only for me but for hubby he is pretty good at many things painting nails, makeup,photography building websites,sewing,baking, cooking and more he's pretty handy when it comes to needing a hand with things especially doing my hair.

He likes this product too and thinks its nice as he now doesn't have to hear me moaning about broken nails which is pretty much every week when I break a nail normally.

The price of the microcell repair  is abit expensive but i guess its worth while seeing as it lasts a while and prevents you from breaking your nails just think if you use this product you can grow your nails long and strong/
so won't need to pay out extra money on manicures to get acrylics done.

Where to buy microcell?


Microcell sell it on Amazon for £17.83 with free postage.
Ebay which is slightly more expensive at £10.16 with £8.19 postage
Klm beauty which is £18.50 and postage on top which varies
Microcell website for £18.50 free shipping.

Professional Beauty 2015

Professional beauty event excel london 2015

HI guys and girls Today i wanted to share with you my experience this is a kind of a personal post as well as it been a post to inform you what happens at the event etc what I experienced.
February 23rd 2015 I attended professional beauty excel london which was my first time.

First of all i had tickets in the post which was visitor tickets and behind them was my neighbours tickets which I popped down to hers for her as they was meant to arrive in her letterbox and ended up in my pack in my letter box which was brilliant because i suffer panic moments travelling through london etc and i only knew her from the school run it gave us a chance to get to know each other and travel up together.


Anyway because I do my blog here I upgraded my Tickets to the press tickets.
which are basically the same as visitors tickets apart from been able to sit in the press office to make notes etc like things at the event and so on not much difference really to any other ticket.

Anyway the journey up wasn't to bad I travelled up with my neighbour who showed me the way,
after getting one bus, one train, one tube and one dlr we was finally at the event, she had to meet her colleagues so I went on in to explore….


First impressions…


Oh my its so big where do i start there is so many stalls to look at so many brands so many products every shopaholic's dream, I was not so much there to shop though more to get some knowledge what other brands are out there, what upcoming products are there are.
If i had more time i would of probley ended up with no money in my account because there was so many lovely things to buy Also was tempted with a spray tan which was free when you spend ten pounds also included in that was a free bikini although I did not have time to strip off and get a tan.
Maybe next time if I will be able to fit in a lovely spray tan.

I managed to talk to a few brands and have a look what's on the market and what's to come from moisturisers to body scrubs, lashes,make-up teeth whitening tanning and much much more.


Press Office 




I was so overwhelmed by it all i went for a tea break at the press office 
I put my feet up and my bags down and enjoyed my sweet cup of tea,
whilst jotting down notes and replying to emails on my phone.

In the press office its literary right in between the stalls 
so you can still sit in there whilst jotting notes.
which is nice in the sense of seeing everyone happy and shopping.
It is for sure a really nice vibe it was a nice experience for me.





Then continued to have a wander around the event and came across a photographer See Li.
Who was very welcoming and friendly and took a couple of photos of me you can see those photos here if you would like as well as other photos he took at the event.


See Li is a friendly photographer who made time for me and was very welcoming.
it was a great pleasure to meet him and see his great work his photography is fab and i love his photography he is a very bright talented man.


                                                                      
         
After speaking to see li i had a wander again omg this place is so big i aint even joking even i kept getting lost and couldn't find my way back to press area so just kept on walking around to explore and look at all the great beauty products then i come across a very busy part.

I then saw Amy child's on her stall I tried to get a quick 2 Min chat with Her to see if there was any upcoming products i could talk to you about etc but she was busy, she was only be able to talk to people who was buying her products there.


so i am afraid i am not sure if she has any upcoming products or not for some of you who was asking who knew I was going to the event I am ever so sorry I couldn't find out.
I try keep my eyes peeled and if i do see a new upcoming one of amys
those that asked me I will email you if i come across any upcoming products.

Anyway I continued walking and came across loads more including some very bright,
funky coloured sunbeds which caught my eye I adore these they remind me of nightclubs,
with the bright beautiful colours that stand out a mile, seeing these made me smile.
I haven't used a sunbed before but I like the look of these compared to the normal ones.


                   Anyway Having to leave some bits out of this post as its already longer than it should be.
                   keeping in the bits that really had an impact on my day things i really liked etc.
                     
Not to be missed !!



Oh my so excited to share with you one in particular thing I almost fainted when i saw what it could do if i told you and didn't have pics to prove it I am sure you would not believe me my hubby did not even believe me when I told him over phone when i was at the event.


if you like getting your nails done this is something you will want to use on yourself or even invest in one for your home or salon etc I aint even joking this part comes with a warning.


please make sure you're sitting down to see this !!


Nail art pro is a printer machine that can put any design onto your nails.
ready made designs, photographs, drawings you name it if you want it on your nails the nail art pro printer can do it, at the event they showed me the machine and because the machine has its very own camera I was able to take a selfie and have it put onto a false nail.

See pictures below



To find out more about this product and brand please have a look at the artpro website
let me know what you think of the printer and what designs you would print if you owned the machine, I would have my daughters drawings on my nails if it was me.



Coffee for skin?


I also want to talk to you about an amazing coffee scrub that i tried whilst at the event.
you all know i adore coffee but this is not edible you can not eat or drink it.
But you can use it on skin which the lovely people at grounded scrub
let me try some it left my hands so soft to find out more feel free to check out their website
Also give them a like/add on Facebook and let them know I sent you over.
they are very wonderful people and very helpful with any questions I had about the scrub.




All good things come to an end.

So that was pretty much my day i had to cut so much out of this post because #pbbeauty is a large event.
There was so much to look at even though I pretty much stayed all day I still didn't have time to see everything it is so big and does get busy early in the day so had a few breaks at press office.
I didn't manage to get many photos but hope the stuff I have included is helpful.
There was also little shows on the stages which i walked past and had a quick look.
I highly recommend going to professional beauty its a great experience.




There was so many lovely brands that attended fitting them all onto this post we would be here all year quite literally so apologies again if there is not much in this post for you.
but over the next few months gonna try find some more products to show you.

Small list of Some of the brands at the event.





I will try review a product I got at the event.
what could it be? your have to wait to find out.
Clue is Blue.


Thats all for now Maybe see you soon at professional beauty next year?
If i go next year and you see me come say hello don't be shy.
#pblondon

Essie nail polish (lilacism)




Hey girls and guys 


I am back with a review on essie nail polish,
 this one is more for the ladies but men are welcome to have a read as well.
and if you're a bloke who does wear nail polish big thumbs up and welcome. 
I hope you are all well ..

So far i have about 5 essie nail polishes and tons of other brands ect, 
But thought id review my fave one first which is Essie nail polish lilacism.
which is a very nice colour it reminds me of springtime, flowers,parties bbqs.
With the fashion trends that are out there at the moment with denims and the bold colours neons ect this colour nail polish makes me feel trendy.


colour/ texture


A glamourous lilac that is sure to look good with denim, and other fashion trends.
the colour is very simple but effective.
I really like how my nails look a bit reflective close up and the texture of the polish when its dry is very smooth to touch which is a great texture as most other nail polishes don't have that.

Drying time

I like how quick they dried which was about 5 mins which was impressive as i could get to my chromebook to write this review for all you lovelies. 
(but that will depend on how much you put on as if ur putting it on thick it may take longer to dry)
With the polish drying quickly is really good especially if you're redoing your nails whilst out and about or even if your off out with friends in a bit quick two coats wait around 5 mins, 
Then you're ready to go


price

The price wont break the bank you can buy this essie nail polish for around £7.99
but you maybe able to find it cheaper online if you look around.
I love a great bargain too i just love bargains and deals. 

..overall verdict .. 

Over all i am very pleased with this nail polish its my fave one of all my essies 
and is the only nail polish i have been using for a while now. 
i love the colour texture and love the design on the polish bottle as well.
the price is another reason why i love Essie around £7.99 in superdrugs.
but you can get them cheaper at some places online. 

The only down side would be like most nail polishes is chipping which i am afraid will happen
efficiently especially if you're not careful with your hands like when you are hunting through your handbag for your phone and come across bobby pins and keys and all the other things we have in our handbags i am the worst for having random things in my bag including a usb computer mouse but having said about chipping its easy to apply the polish and it drys quick
so you can easily sort out your nails if that was to happen.


Thank you for reading my essie nail polish review.
All your support is very much appreciated

If you have tried essie before or have any questions,
or if you feel i have left any important info out of the review 
please feel free to comment below.
Id love to hear what colours you love and have tried.
and what nail polishes you use stay beautiful my lovelies
