Misssy UK Miss Appealing Peelable gel Review

Nails for Real Girls

Hello everyone, its been a wee while since my last post! 
I came across the Misssy range on Instagram, I was skeptical, not going to last well if  it just peels off.......surely, well I couldn't have been more wrong!!

So I prepped my nails as advised on my application guide, I buffed my natural nails to a shine with a buffer block, I was then ready to go! With my two must haves Tweexy and Handirest! 

This is the bold, vivid, hot pink called 
        Attraction

 Here's the other great glitter colour 






The application was so smooth and easy, it self leveled, only went where I put it! 
Heres my tester nail

By artificial light

In natural light

Look at how good two coats look, no top or base coat needed, no annoying sticky top coat! Just a wonderful colour, with a great shine and imo looks salon quality! No shrinking at the sides, no dribbling into my cuticles, just a great looking smooth nail, I have a bump in both thumb nails from slamming my fingers in doors....you wouldn't know, even I couldn't see it!
I really was impressed with this, as you all know I am far from great at painting my nails, yet this gel made me look great! Check out the full mani 

Ker-Ching!!
What a sparkle, what a shine!!
I was so tempted just to peel one off, had to hold back for a few days, see how it lasted in my hectic life! 
The washing up....simple, no losses, soaks in the bath, relaxing, no worries of them falling off!!
Housework....not a issue, I even planted all my seedlings out and turned the ground in the garden, I was a liitle worried about scratches whilst gardening, but I needed have been!

I am quite sure I was the most glamorous gardener that day!
I dug and planted and sieved mud with my fingers!
Still my manicure stayed put and looked brand new!
The next day was busy too, lots of typing at work, no issues no chips, I can become quite furious on the pc at times, I love the sound nails make whilst typing, but by the end of the day, I was tired, making stupid mistakes and getting really frustrated with the slow brick that calls itself a personal computer! 
I had so many compliments throughout the week and I really wish I filmed expressions when I said it was peelable!! Four days on and they still looked great, the temptation to peel was so hard to resist!


I know this would have lasted so much longer, but temptation got the better of me, plus this is a review, right? I need to check it peels :)

Of course it did, no damage, so fast and no staining!! NO MORE ACETONE!!!!!
We all know how hard Glitters can be to get off, it took a little longer as I'm anal and like getting it off all in one, in ten minutes, I was ready for a brand new manicure!
I thought id try a little 'art'


I didnt like it as lets face it, I am not good at 'Nail art' I havnt an artistic flare like some!
Did it matter?
Hell No.......Its peelable

This Gel is magic and I highly recommend it to fellow busy women/mums as it more than passed my lifestyle, not only did it last, it breezed it! 
Cant wear polish to work? This is perfect, don't like soak off gels, this is perfect, want a long lasting great looking at home manicure, Misssy is the gel for you!
You an change your nails with your outfit!
PAINT IT, PEEL IT, CHANGE IT!

MY EXCITEMENT WITH GEL MOMENT Tested in the REAL world!

MY EXCITEMENT WITH THE WONDERFUL GEL MOMENT!!

I hadn't heard about Gel Moment before being introduced by a follower!
All sounded a little too good to be true, five free, one coat, long lasting no top/base coat Gel system! Here's how I got on! 
I was sent the colour "Scarlet Slippers" a deep red with a gorgeous shimmer, that shone brighter under artificial light, by day a nice deep red with a wee shimmer, by night sparkly rubies !

I also received this cute two fingered lamp to cure the Gel! Very handy, handbag size if you  have a big bag like me, you can use it with a USB or the plug included! You can of course use your own LED lamp, but will have to work out the curing time yourself, as Gel Moment of course have their curing time to work with their lamps, some are stronger some not as! Gel Moment reccomend to use their lamp, as do all gel companies! I of course have my Handirest and Tweexy ready for application, my two must haves with DIY manicures!
Get yours here
With it being such a dark colour I was extremely skeptical that it would only need one coat, I was advised to use two thin coats if needed, this wasn't! Check these beauties out:-
I added a few wee decals on my accent nails these didn't last long, due to having no top coat, I did predict this! So one coat, under the lamp for the timed 45 seconds the lamp stays on for, I did both hands within ten minutes, one coat as they said, after a small buff and cleanse to adhere better, it glided on like silk, so easy to have a fresh finish as it is self leveling also! Take a garney at the difference between the colour under different lights!

By Artificial light

 
By Natural light

I loved the way it looked different during the day, was like having two manicures! So how well did this one coat magic last with work and day to day jobs around the house & did it last!?
The answer is Hell YES!!
For eight long days my nails were chip free, kept their colour and shine!
On day Nine however Mr Muscle (a well known manicure killer) put an end to my run, but only with a few tiny chips, I could have easily filed down a bit and re coated, but fancied something new!
Here you can see the teeny tiny chips!


 
Not even that noticeable really but any excuse for a new manicure/colour ;)
I can do nothing but praise this one coat lil bottle of magic!
Another excellent Gel that I highly recommend if you are looking for long lasting, hard wearing easy to apply gel!
To top it all off with that extra cherry, GelMoment is five free!
What more could you want?








This lovely product is even safe for children, supervised of course, imagine the carnage!!
Its cheaper than going to a salon, no extra costs for cleansers and top/base coats, yet still you get dazzling salon worthy nails IMO! If me, Miss shaky Stevens can apply, anyone can!
To get your own and check out their range of mind-blowing colours head over here
Check your country is correct at the top
They also have a range of Nail Art, Serums and Sets to browse! Along with a bigger professional lamp to fit the whole hand!
I will most certainly be heading back to stock up on some new colours!

My little bottle of magic! Thank you Gel Moment for a wonderful, five free, long lasting, easy to use gel!
Does what it says on the tin ;)

Easy but very effective Halloween Nails! 2016 Jack Pumpkin Style.



Who doesn't like Halloween?

Who doesn't like Halloween inspired Nails/Manicures?

I love ANY reason for a new look or to try something new, so it would be rude not to do a Halloween Manicure when scooping & carving Pumpkins ruined my last! 
Worth it :)
So as we do, I scoured the internet for inspiration, there are sooooo many, Tutorials make it look easy, until you try yourself! What I didn't notice, only till recently was the ones I believed to be expertly hand-painted and in awe at the steady hand needed for this, is mostly printing......why haven't I tried this before? I now have a few bits on the way so fingers crossed by Christmas I will have on fleek....printed nails, is that a good thing? I dunno, hard it on my sons loud speaker the other day, we all like to be in with the kids ;)
I found this Spider tutorial......looks easy right?
Now try it, I even tried it on a swatch nail so had two hands,,,,,,,
It didn't look like this, and this said simple......simple for whom?? Not mwa, so I realized, of came my drunk ahum apparent spider and took a look for other ideas!
Here s what I eventually did!
The Jack Pumpkin IS proudly hand painted, with a nail pen!! Here's what I used..
For my left thumb & right pinky
Barry M Magnetic in Dark Silver 226 (They were supposed to be a cross but came out more a star)

For the orange base I used Orange Impulse, from the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri collection ( sourced in £land )
For the Crackle effect I used another Barry M Nail Effects
Not thinking in advance, just hoping to make my mani last I of course sealed it in with a favorite of mine
Sensationail Polish to Gel!

I say without thinking, how long does one wear a Halloween manicure for?? Yes this was realized the day after Halloween, so I'm a bit mift I used my precious stash, Saying that it stayed on well as I knew it would.
Fireworks night was closing in so this had to go as again it would be rude not to have nails on fleek with seasons and holidays ; )
I had lots of compliments during the few days I wore this look! It was fast simple and easy, my three favorite words when kit comes to nails!
My little nail got ripped off dog walking, when did walking your dog become dangerous or a nail breaker?
look at the poor little thing, down to the bone as my old Nana would say......nails don't have bones!! Have you ever tried arguing a point with the older generation....don't, unless you have a few years to loose over one point!
As much as I loved this effective an d head turning look, as always the end of one great manicure leads to another......

Bring on Bonfire night
My nails are ready for you!

Sensationail Fuse System against real life!










 SENSATIONAIL FUSE

V's
REAL LIFE






I have been looking forward to this review/test for a long long time now, I've had my eye on Fuse since being introduced to Sensationail last year.
The colours are all so vivid and well, colorful! !  14 plus days can be a long time for most to hold the same manicure, some grow bored of the same colour, others like to mix it up a bit more, if this sounds like you,the sensationail Fuse is the system for you.
Here's what I received, I was automatically drawn to the vividness of the electric orange colour, it popped! They all went together well so I decided to use them all. 
In the starter kit there was...

Wee instructions book  
FUSE Gel - Polar Bare
A lovely glitter nude pink that looks great on its own or on-top of another colour!
FUSE LED Lamp
with a USB cord & plug, to be used with laptops etc on the go or at home with the mains. It does one nail at once in thirty seconds, which is perfectly timed with the cute button on top, its even adjustable, so you can have a super pedicure too.....must try this ;)
FUSE Cleanser
To get rid of that tacky layer once cured
TIP Don't forget to double click your cleanser bottle shut, or it will evaporate, I learnt the hard way!
12 Lint Free Wipes
Double sided nail buffer
&
a manicure stick!
Everything you need for a fast super looking DIY manicure!
There are many different colours to choose from that can go with your starter kit, take a look here
With that as you can see I also had two other great colours, a purple gloss - e-motion, 
Its a Funky Magenta Purple
&
My favorite, elec-tric or treat,
A super bright blood orange that explodes its colour!
To be honest I saw it as more as a pink, it was late on a Thursday night & under unnatural light, I saw it as a neon pink! I soon realized the next morning.... 
After......yes.....after I had done my #wearitpink #standuptocancer manicure for work...My diamonds helped me fluke it, everyone that knows me, knows this is something I'd obliviously do!
I paid my dues and loved my nails anyway, pink or not! I used the Polar-bare over the top of the purple e-motion! All the others are one coat as advised. You don't need a thick coat at all, its self leveling and a dream to use, I don't normally like big brushes (if you want a pic please ask) but these glided on, like the professional I'm so not! Even the glitter was unexpectedly smooth & so easy to apply, I..me...even managed the three stroke  application....on one nail, to which I have never been able to master as yet, I was one proud bunny, see practice makes perfect, my mum was right....this time ;) 
I of course used my trusty Handirest & Tweexy, without them, you'd truly see how bad I am at nail painting! How bad I was :) I'm slowly getting better.

The days flew by, I did nothing out of the ordinary, my usual mum stuff, work stuff, housework stuff & all we manage to squeeze in, in-between!
No chips, no dents, I lost a few diamonds over the days but easily reapplied once home!
 
As always, sensationail did as it said on the pot! Up to seven days wear, one coat super shine Gel!
On the seventh day all was fine, a few tips had been lost,  but  nothing  noticeable!
The colours were still bright I still had great shine and was far from bored with my nails, I was shocked 7 days had come by so fast!
But on the seventh day, it was also the night before Halloween, we went Pumpkin picking.....I don't think ANY manicure could have survived that! My nails took more of the blast then the manicure, here..see for yourself....
I must have handled every Pumpkin in sight, yet still went with the first we saw!
Then came the scooping & carving.........Need I say more....
Silver lining, as always....it was Halloween, it would be rude not to have a manicure to match ;)
All in all, I am as impressed as I thought I would be! 
The colours are bold, vivid and so bright with super shine! Its easy to mix it up if you get bored. Its well easy to remove, I soaked then peeled....something strangely satisfying about getting a gel off in one!
The polishes are of good size, its so fast, even at one nail at a time, which is also good if your a mum like me as we all know, it doesn't matter how much we believe we are organised, something or someone will interrupt at some point ;) Got to love them!
The FUSE gels work with the Senationail lamp too if you didn't want to pay out for another, this one is so small and portable though, I'd defiantly recommend.
I will be getting more colours to add to my little collection!
Sensationail should do a nice storage center for its systems, i know its something Id go for, a place for everything and everything has its place! 
There are some great deals on Fuse at the moment, here take a look!



Take a look here
They now even sell their Fuse in Asda, so you can pick it up on a weekly shop!
Happy shopping, buy with confidence, in the knowledge that Sensationails customer service in none to one!

My Time looking Devine with Devine Nails!!



Nails for Real Girls 

Wears





I was lucky enough to wear these little diamonds then had them as a perminant fixture for ten days before I lost one.....deep sorrow and highly searched for yet very quickly recovered when I remembered I had another 12 left to choose from!
To be fair I was very dubious over the re-usable claim. In my head I assumed that the paint would chip like when I paint them, theres the massive difference here, I didnt paint them and Im not a proffesional, Laura at Devine Nails, is however & her nails prove that from first glance!
They are clear, sharp, thin but robust and for the love of god I couldnt find a stroke mark, these babies look like they are printed!

Here they are as they arrive, totally as advertised, 22 Salon quality nails of your choice shape, length with free glue and UK shipping! 
Laura also sends a how to leaflet with all the info you will need to ensure your nails last as advertised and come off with no issue's hense making them re-usable!
The fact there were so many was a massive bonus, I could Jazz up for the weekends and tone down with just a accent nail in the week, I went full on Jazz,of course ;) I wanted to wear as many of the ones with such super Art on,  as I could,  so I did! 

Here they are first applied,  I did as advertised they went on a treat, the glue was so strong and the nails so thin, it was like they were my own, I usually steer clear of false nails because I hate the fake feeling plus I have the fear of pings, its a real thing ya no! Yet these felt & looked super!  We all know that at night I have been known to wiggle a little, yet in the morning, every morning, there they were, ready to put a smile on my face as I wiggled my fingers with joy! 
I was at work a little less than usual due to good old Summer holidays, still did my normals though, gardening, cooking, washing....need I go on? We all know what we do, we all know we do too much yet we suck it up,  get on with it, with a smile :) 
I far from went easy on these, as I've said it's like they weren't there so I did just forget about them! 

As you can see after a few days they still looked the same apart from loosing one diamond :( considering how many times my hands are in & out of my pockets, my painted on skinny jeans pockets, I'm shocked that's all that came off! 
I continued my day by days, forgetting they were there still, they hadn't loosened & still felt like my own! 

Even without a flash, 6 days in, these little lovelies were still holding strong & doing me proud. I wish I had some Devine Nails cards whilst I was wearing,  I had so many compliments, I lost count "beautiful nails" "wow love your nails" "who did your nails" these comments were from strangers, in super markets, walking the dog etc! I felt obliged to tell them who made them, how they could get some & from where!  I am not good at taking compliments, yet these I took well, I was very proud to wear these babies & will definitely be stocking up for future easy fast but beautiful manis! 
Lots of manis are fast & last but how many take less ten minutes, if that & still look like you have spent hours on them! Those who I did manage to get all my info out on were shocked when I said they were hand painted glue ons AND re-usable, I love that word when nails come after ;)
So day ten came, I had a few pings bed making, mostly my thumbs, tucking & lifting,  no issue though, just had to clean my nail up then plop back on! 
On one of my many dog walks, I didn't notice until onway home but I lost one of my favourite ones off my four finger. I wasn't happy until I remember the pile I had to replace them with! !



Replaced & looking great. .still ten days on, there is a wee bit of wear, to be expected, yet nothing noticeable as you can see!
As I had worn for the recommended ten days, I wanted to see if they really were "re-usable" I thought they may split when took off or chip, I followed instructions, soaked in warm water, then off they popped one by one, it didn't feel like someone was ripping my own off  with rusty pliers, like every other set I've ever worn! Some were on stronger than others, all they needed was a longer soak!  So all in all they do "what they say on the packet" to a tee & some !!
Here are my re-usable beauties!  Ready for the next wear!
I cannot stress how well painted these are,  my brain cannot comprehend how they don't chip & still look so great after being on my clumsy, goofy hands for ten full days and most of all nights ;)
No photos can do them justice, I tried from every angel, every light, yet the photo just wouldn't pick out what my eyes were seeing! I love them.  I more than enjoyed wearing them, I had more compliments whilst wearing, then I have in my entire life. I think I have been converted!
So the wonderful talented Laura from the amazing Devine Nails,  I salute your work,  a pretty fingered salute! Devine by name Devine by nature!
Cheers to you & your amazing little finger diamonds!
Thank you,  it was a honour & I look forward to doing business with you again!
