Reply With the increase in perfume outlets in the shopping centre I find it a lot easier to try them now. Most outlets have the tester bottle. just ask the assistant for something along the lines you want. i.e. “I’d like something that isn’t going to follow my partner down the street but at the […]

Reply I agree that perfume is a very personal thing, but I will make a couple of comments….you get what you pay for. The bargain basement scents…are just that…something for the basement. Personally, I am not one for these new trendy scents, that seem so overwhelming…. I prefer Coco by Chanel and for a little […]

 Reply Perfume is always a very personal thing, something that smells great on one person, may reek on someone else, also everyone’s tastes are different. The best thing is to go along to a perfumery shop,, plenty of them around,,, tell them basically what kind of scent you are looking for ( ie the vanilla) […]

 Question Well, you know, the smell of Old Spice doesn’t really cut it ;-). Can anyone recommend a perfume that doesn’t require a mortgage to buy, but which is fairly light and pleasant smelling with maybe a hint of vanilla (no jokes please!  or musk to it. (Yeah, I know, musk can be fairly heavy […]

i have been wearing false nails since xmas. I get mine from www.byvixi.com who actually do next-day delivery if ordered before 3 pm. And they do arrive the next day. I have quite large hands and i have found the large coffin nails work well for my finger shape. There are 10 sizes, 50 of […]

I’ve found a couple of reasons why glued nails come off. The first is that, because they are usually curved more than your nail bed, you don’t use enough glue to fill the gap fully. Add plenty of glue over the whole nail surface, and press the nail down hard until it’s fully set. The […]

But yes, keeping them shaped and tidy is more important than length. I’ve tried growing them really long, but they are much more prone to breaking, then you end up with one that looks much shorter which is rubbish. I’ve found how long is a manageable length for me now anyway. During the summer I’ve […]

I realise that many years ago about growing my own instead. I just could not adapt to false ones and found them troublesome too. The key to your own nails is really to look after them and keep them clean, regular use of nail clippers and especially a file is a must to keep them […]

I’ve not tried the pre-glued ones, but I have used the sticky pads, from I think Nailene or Eyelure. They actually stick very firmly, I’ve had a set last me for a few days and they can be quite hard to remove. But if they do decide to come off, then pressing them back on […]

Where’s the happy medium? Eyelashes go on when you apply them and stay on until you actively remove them. I want some nails that I can control when they come off, without having to melt the damn things to crap in a glass full of acetone. I have found some that come with strips of […]
