fake nails

I don't know why but i had the erg to try out some fake nails.
I was wondering around primark and spotted some for £1, so i thought... may as well! I wasn't expecting anything amazing but tried them out anyway. They actually turned out okay but the glue was hard to put on so i managed to get it everywhere all over my desk and all over my hands!
I really liked how they looked though so defiantly going to invest in some more expensive ones and experiment painting them and things. I never really needed to put on fake nails before because thankfully i was blessed with long strong nails anyway so that's why it was my first time. Well my first time putting them on myself.
Although i had to cut and file them down alot so they didn't look ridiculous!
But yeah i found it tricky because of the nosel of the glue but if i get some decent glue then it should be fine.
What nails have you used?
My attempt!

blazer

Every girl needs a blazer. I think its a staple for your wardrobe, well that's what i've been told! But i do agree... i got my first blazer a couple of weeks ago and seem to never take it off! It goes with everything and make an outfit look so much more sophisticated. I purchased mine from primark and its just a simple black one. It was only £19 and for me is just right. I didn't want to spend alot of money on it, because they can be expensive and wasn't sure if i was going to wear it alot because i have never had one before.I got a simple black one, however i like wearing black anyway so for me this would be perfect. Also i really like the look of the pastel/fondant pink colour blazers and this would be nice for summer because it would look more summery. Hopefully when i start working in the holidays i will have the money to get one.
But anyway i LOVE my blazer and i truly believe everyone should have one!
Sorry for the crappy photography but here is mine:D

john frieda shine shock review

Personally i love this product.
Its basically a leave in gloss that you put in your soaking wet hair; straight after the shower. The brand John Frieda do ranges of products for different hair colours, i believe there is a brilliant brunette line of products for brown hair which is what this product is part of). Also a line for red hair and blonde hair.
This gloss claims to be a 'high-shine perfecting glosser' and also that it 'illuminates and perfects'.
It certainly give a nice shine to the hair but not sure its really 'perfecting'.
It also states on the bottle that it 'illuminates natural, colour-treated' or 'highlighted brunette hair'.
It does make your hair shiny but i find it kind of leaves my hair dry at the ends, so i ushually use a diffrent serum on top just at the ends.
Another thing i like about this product is the smell. it kind of reminds me of coconut but i dont think thats it. i cant put my finger on it but i do like it. Personally it smells of lanzerote, but thats only because i used it when i went to thats why it reminds me of there... how weird haha!
But anyway, i think it retails at about £6/£7 but i got mine in a travel pack for christmas so dont hold me to it.
Here is a photo of the gloss, thanks for reading
