Pamper Sesh- Manicure!
My nails aren't in the best of conditions at all at the minute and so a manicure is definitely in order. Although i always tell myself not to, i do bite my nails and the only way for me not to bite them is to have them painted. So, i thought i'd share my routine for when i want to pamper myself with a manicure! Perfect for a Sunday night!

Step 8)
Step 9)
What you need:

Step 3)
Use scissors to cut nails wherever needed and also to remove any dirt from underneath the nail.
Step 4)
File and shape the nail to the shape you want.
Step 5)
Push your cuticles back using the cuticle pusher.
Step 6)
Use the nail varnish remover to remove any dirt from the nail, any remaining polish and leave the nail with a clean base
Step seven (my no. seven button doesn't work)
Use step 3, 4 and 5 on the nail cube to remove ridges, smooth the nail and shine the nail.
Step 8)
Apply a base coat to prevent any staining from the nail varnish.
Step 9)
Apply two coats of your preferred nail varnish making sure each is dry before applying the next layer.

BuyaPowa
I thought i'd create this blog post for anyone who hadn't heard of BuyaPowa, as every beauty lover should know of this brilliant website! It's basically a co-buying website and for anyone who doesn't know what that is, its where as more people join a co-buy the price of the product can drop.
There are normally around 4 live co-buys at one time with a certain amount of time they will last although this will vary depending on how quickly an item sells out and there are only ever a limited number of each product. Once you join a co-buy you are guaranteed the product at that price however this may go down if more people join. Once you've joined its also possible to invite more people into buying the item to help drive the price down. As well as the live co-buys it also shows you what items are coming soon, where you can request for the website to alert you when this item is live meaning you'll be less likely to miss out. I have saved so much money buying items on here and although sometimes it can be a little frustrating waiting for a item you what to be 'live' it is totally worth it!
