Fighting a habit... nail biter

I have a confession... I have never had long finger nails. NEVER. For as long as I can remember I have bitten my finger nails and it irritates me no end but since I have been doing it since I was in my crib I have never found a way to stop. Until a few months ago.

Ciate (www.ciate.co.uk) do really pretty nail varnishes and to be honest when I was sent one by glossybox in my summer splash box I wasn't bothered until I saw it on my toes and realised it was a shame my fingernails were so awful.

So nothing happened but a few days ago I realised I didn't want my son to ruin his beautiful nails with the same bad habit. Finally after thirty one year's a few days ago I painted my nails and despite one near attempt last night I haven't bitten my nails.

Nails on the 1st October 2013

These are my nails as of yesterday. They are short but hopefully will grow fast.

Ciate nail varnish 'the glossip'

Hopefully I can kick my habit and I can soon proclaim me a recovering nail biting addict and have beautiful nails for christmas day. Watch this space!

Collective haul

I have broken my no buy and this close to my birthday I really can't be bothered to get back onto the horse again. I got my birthday money early from hubby so I got some products I want to try, either for my blog or my own personal use or through pure curiosity.  This was done over a few weeks and has some items from superdrug, Asda, yves Rocher, the body shop and a magazine freebie. I also have a few more items coming, including one huge purchase, but I want to clear this stuff from where it was so I am splitting my haul. My first items came from superdrug and are mostly bought for blogposts or through curiosity.

I bought some nail varnishes from the fragrance direct website sale a few days after Christmas and they arrived today.I managed to get 9 nail varnishes and a color tattoo for under twenty pounds and I am quite happy about that. Here is my fragrance direct booty. I managed to get a lot of darker colours as this was were in the colour palette I was missing colours. Spot the Essie!!! Looks a bit out of place among the others tbh but I had never owned an Essie, although I will soon have a second from my youbeauty box any day now and that one is a repstyle one. I swatched all of them on a piece of paper to give basic colour information so I can only give you details of longevity for the ones I have used before. The first item is the Sally Hansen complete Salon Manicure in Haute Chocolate. This has a wide, densely packed paddle brush and the colour is a rich milk chocolate and great for autumn/winter nails. This cost me £1.49 in their sale. The second item is the Rimmel...
