"sensationail" + review

Today has been spent getting a lot of odds and sods done; I got my photographs printed, my car radio checked out (it's still broken, I've come to the conclusion I can't concentrate when driving if Bey isn't in the background), my new top resized, my eyebrows waxed, a sunbed, two episodes of Breaking Bad down at the same time as doing my gel nails with my new Sensationail kit. Random day right.

I got the Sensationail kit for christmas after Boots' huge price cut from £107.00 to £67.00 to £45.00. Brill bargain. I'm so pleased with it, I definitely didn't think I'd be able to achieve such good at-home nails but if I do it carefully I manage to get them pretty neat (including my right hand, which all girls know is a first world problem usually cause of our somewhat shaky left hand). Bit of generalisation, we're not all right handed I know I know. This time round I used the "taupe tulips" nail colour which in english is basically a really natural nude shade. I definitely recommend any girl who likes doing their nails to get this! The tiny LED lamp is so easily portable, the instructions are extremely clear and the kit comes with a gel cleanser, gel primer, two gel polishes, a transparent base/top coat, 12 lint-free wipes, a double-sided nail buffer, a manicure stick, a removal tool and the LED lamp itself.

This gel polish is so much stronger than regular polish so it lasts a good two weeks before chipping. Unless your like me and end up biting them. Ick. But now my nails look super nice I'm hoping this is the milestone in my life where I might actually have ladylike, long talons?! Or at least something I can call a nail.

***** 5 star recommendation, definitely worth the money :)

Ps. the orange glow in these pictures is an electric heater, because we have no heating at the minute and without it I feel toeless. Brrrrrr

This is the kit that I got, which had the nude colour and then 'sugar plum'- a burgundy shade. There are over 60 colours and I kind of want them all..

Getting really into this series now, currently at Ep 6

This is the next colour I think I'm going to get because I'm obsessed with purple at the minute

Right, now I'm off because I have 56 episodes of Breaking Bad to finish xo
