N is for... Nailene nails!

Hi there,

Going do a quick beauty post today following a lovely giveaway I managed to win earlier this week!

Thanks to the lovely Sherrie at Mirror Mirror on the Wall, I was lucky enough to win a pack of Nailene nails and also a pack of their New Ultra Tabs, which are an alternative to glue. So no more faffing and getting your fingernails, hands and whatever else for that matter covered in glue, these adhesive tabs easily stick to natural nails without damaging them in the process... excellent! They are really easy to remove as well, you just slide off the artificial nail rather than pulling it off, easy peasy!

I’ve borrowed this pic from Sherrie’s blog as I was too eager to rip into my packs to take a quick pic!

I must say that the adhesive tabs were excellent and had real sticking power. My only problem was that they didn’t seem big enough to cover my nails and sometimes I had to stick on more than one, maybe I have large fingernails, who knows? Here are the results...

 I have never had artificial nails before so these were a first for me and I definitely thought that they looked gorgeous and would certainly try them again! The nails looked natural with French tips and as they were short cortas, they were very manageable. Unfortunately for me, they did not last the full, guaranteed 5 days but I loved them all the same and would definitely recommend them for some special occasions!

Hope you enjoyed my beauty post,

Emma!

B is for... Beginnings.

Hi there,

So here goes... my first ever post in my first ever blog. I am excited and nervous and hope you all like it! Basically, I have decided to start writing a blog to enhance my writing skills and creativity as I am hoping to do a MA in Journalism in September and also because I have seen so many other lovely blogs out there, I have decided to write my own! And I promise to keep it regularly updated with fun, girly things that I am interested in, because I am writing for me first and foremost.

So now that the formalities are over and done with, I’d like to introduce myself. I am Emma Robinson, originally from Middlesbrough (apparently ‘The Worst Place to live in the UK’ according to Location, Location, Location. I no longer watch that show.) and am now living in Liverpool, currently finishing a degree in English Language and Literature. I am a typical Northerner and love to chat to people about almost anything and am completely obsessed with the TV show Only Fools and Horses, to the point where I can recite practically every line from every episode. I like shopping, cheese, my home town and Mr Darcy (:-D) and I hate spiders, arrogance and rude people!

I hope this blog will capture my personality, in that I hope to inject it with some wit, humour and fun along the way and I aim to write posts about almost anything that interests a 20-something year old girl, from fashion, beauty and celeb gossip to current affairs and my own general musings.

I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to follow me on Twitter (@emmarobinson14) if you like what you see!
