Beauty | House of Holland x Elegant Touch

Never in my life have I been a "nail" person. I'm terrible at the maintenance involved in having nice nails and resorted to acrylics for the best part of last year, resulting in them being very weak and damaged. Recently I wanted to try something different and was super interested in the Elegant Touch x Henry Holland's due to the bright, unique, and 3D designs. My favourite was the "heartbreaker" set and they were almost impossible to get hold of - many trips to boots and superdrug later, I finally found them!

£7.99 - Boots


Included in the pack is nail glue, a nail file, and 24 different sized nails to fit every shape and size. The application was quick and easy. I was originally very reluctant to wear stick on nails due to experiences in the past of them constantly pinging off - I did however, have nothing to fear! The glue was super strong and I had them on for around a week without any problems. 


If you're looking for an alternative to acrylics or simply fancy a change to your natural nail - I would definitely recommend these! There's designs to match every personality and style, they were relatively undamaging to my nails aaaaand they didn't break the bank. I've already got my eyes on the "thorn in my side" set.

Beauty | Naked 3 Palette Dupe

The Urban Decay Naked Palettes are my holy grail of beauty products. I currently own Naked 1 and 2 - and was extremely interested in the 3rd one following all the hype after it's release. When I saw fashiontrain blog about this dupe, I had to try it out!

I ordered this from American website, T Mart. It arrived in around 10 days and there was free worldwide shipping - for only paying £3.63 I really couldn't complain!

The shades are super similar to the original Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette bar a few, the only thing I would say is that they could be slightly more pigmented and are a little too soft/crumbly on application. (as you can see in the picture, one of the shades has actually crumbled away during the posting process). However, you do get what you pay for and on payday i'm looking forward to ordering the real thing.

Overall i'm impressed with this dupe and would definitely recommend buying it if you're looking to spend only a fraction of the price! You can pick it up from T-Mart here.
