Get Those Summer Feet!

Hi My Beauties,

Summer is (hopefully) on its way and time to break out those filp flops and sandals, If you are anything like me and suffer with dry skin this time of year can be a right pain. I am gonna give you some tips that I follow to reduce the dryness on my feet and keep them as soft as I can.

1. Have a lovely bath or foot spa, I always opt for a bubble bath my current favourite is Imperial Leather Jasmine Spa (£1.59) I soak in the bath with some tunes for at least 30 minutes.

2. Once out of the bath I use a ped egg (£9.99) all over the bottoms of my feet where i get the most dry, I always use the ped egg whilst my feet are still wet as this aids with the dry skin coming off.


3. I cover my feet with a thick layer of Ahava Dermud Intensive foot cream* (£18.00) or Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Cream (£4.99) (Full review coming soon) all over my feet and then put on some thick socks.

4. I leave the socks on over night so that my feet absorb the cream leaving them lovely and soft.

5. I choose a nail polish and make my nails look pretty, in my case the skin around the nails gets made pretty too cause I'm awful at painting nails. I am currently sporting Illamasqua Scorch (£14.50)

5. To keep my feet soft and free from dryness I apply a thin coat of the favoured foot cream all over my feet daily.

There you have it my 5 steps to soft and silky feet which takes no time at all and its a great way to pamper yourself :)

If you have any other tips leave them in the comments as I am sure we would all love to hear them

NOTD: The Domino Effect

My first attempt at detail on nails, I know not great but I tried ha ha!

I used MUA Nail Poilish in Shade 2 Black, Attitude Matte Topcoat and Illamasqua Nail Polish in Scorch.

Review - Attitude Matte Finish Nail Varnish

I purchased Attitude Matte Finish Nail Varnish quite a while ago from my local Capital store in Hove. Other than eBay and Amazon I am not aware of any shops that sell this product because its a pro product.

I love it when you find a product that does exactly what it says on the bottle. I applied MUA's shade 2 Black colour all over the nails and allowed them to dry before applying the matte topcoat from Attitude.

See the after results below for yourself

Yes I know I am not all that great at covering the nail but you can see the result!

The Attitude topcoat cost me £2.76 from Capital and the MUA Nail Varnish cost me £1.00.

I think as I said the images speak for themselves I cant wait to try the product on more obscure colours to see if the affect is just as good.

Have you tried this topcoat before? What did you think?

NOTD - Leighton Denny Honey Trap

As you are already aware I got this nail colour with my Harrods Limited Edition GlossyBox a few days ago and I was really excited to try the colour as its beautiful.

Yes Honey Trap is a beautiful colour but I am not a lover of Leighton Denny's polish! 

The consistency is what you would expect from a cheap brand not from a brand that charges £11 per bottle. I applied two coats on the second attempt.

I am hoping that OPI Sweet Heart is a close enough dupe as I have this on the way.

NOTD - OPI Double Up

Kiss Me on My Tulips and Pedal Faster Suzi! From the OPI Dutch Treats - Holland Mini Collection

I applied two coats of  Kiss Me on My Tulips and one coat of Pedal Faster Suzi! on top.

My beautiful ring was a Christmas gift from my Best Friend Jenny she got it from The Earring Boutique

NOTD - OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips

Kiss Me on My Tulips From the OPI Dutch Treats - Holland Mini Collection

Two coats applied

 OPI describe the colour as 'bright blue-based hot pink creme finish'

I completely addore this colour so far its my favourite but I still have two more from this collection to try so I may change my mind. It is unfortunate that the colour clashes with my hair though but hey I dont care!

NOTD - OPI I Have A Herring Problem

I Have A Herring Problem From the OPI Dutch Treats - Holland Mini Collection

Two coats applied

OPI describe the colour as 'shimmering sea green infused with subtle gold and silver glitter' however I would say its more of a slate grey colour but still very beautiful

NOTD: FACE Stockholm Metallic Plum Red #59

TMAB received some press samples from FACE stockholm some time ago and I am just getting round to blogging about them. 

Anyway, this post is specifically about the Nail Polish. It's a beautiful Metallic Plum Red Colour #59. The polish itself is fairly thick, so, I did find I needed two coats to cover any streaks, that said, I really like this polish, the colour is deep and if you are a nail expert you could get away with one coat.

FACE Stockholm products are only stocked at Victoria Loves Beauty in the UK and it would appear that the FACE Stockholm store, in Manchester, is no longer open, as its no longer listed on their website.
