Holly Blue Nails and Beauty!








Okay, so incase you haven't seen me raving about my new nails then prepare yourself now, because here it comes!

Two weeks ago, I attended an event hosted at Holly Blue Nails and Beauty Salon based at 5 Church Hill Place, Morningside, Edinburgh. " At Holly Blue Nail & Beauty Salon, we offer the best treatments & use only the highest quality products including CND, HD Brows, Lycon Wax, LVL Lashes, XEN-Tan.Conveniently located in Morningside and now Corstorphine, Holly Blue Nail & Beauty Salon is Edinburgh's top destination for everything Nails, Make Up & Beauty related. Specialising in CND Nail Treatments & HD Brows we offer only premium products and services to our clients.A full range of CND Vinylux Polishes, Scentsation Hand Lotions, HD Brows, Make Up By HD Brows and XEN-Tan products are available to purchase in the salon. "



The event was from 6;30pm till around 8pm, and involved members of their amazing staff doing treatment demonstrations, answering and explaining their wide range of products and treatments, and most importantly making sure that everyone had a great evening. I went with my friend Kathleen since it was the first proper bloggers event that I had ever attended, plus how could I possibly say no to something which involved loads of makeup and especially NAILS!





Throughout the night, I was able to talk to several of their staff and take photos of their beautifully decorated salon including their wide range of products. However, my phone being the lovely thing it is, decided to delete them all so I have had to take pictures from elsewhere, yay!

Anyways, enough rambling about stupid technology. Once I had looked at their price lists and their list of special offers that were just for that night, I knew that I wouldn't be able to hold myself back from purchasing a cheeky little treatment or two, or three... Oops. The offers that I bought were firstly an Eyebrow wax, which was cheap and painless only costing £9.50. The other two treatments I splashed out on were a CND Brisa Gel Liquid and Powder Full Set, and because I bought this at full price, this meant that I was able to purchase a CND Shellac Pedicure at half price, sitting at just £13! How could I resist?! That's right, I couldn't. When I had purchased the treatments, I received a goodie bag which was worth £50! This goodie bag included high quality fake tans, nail polish, makeup mirror and a Kabuki makeup brush! Absolutely amazing if you ask me...


                                                 

Now for my treatments, I had my Shellac pedicure done my Demi (3rd from the left) and my eyebrows and Gel nails were done by Lauren (3rd from the right). I can't thank the girls enough because my nails are absolutely gorgeous! For my pedicure, I went for a mermaid inspired glitter finish which somewhat resembled scales... so pretty! And as my CND Brisa Gel nails, I went for a baby blue with a black and silver glitter design on the tips. As the majority of you will already know, I love my long nails, however it had got to the point where I only had three long nails out of the full set, so this treatment was perfect for me as it made them all the same length! Here is a picture of just how nice and how much of an amazing job Lauren did.


                                   
                                                                   

I would fully recommend going onto either their website, Facebook page or Instagram and seeing their amazing work, and hopefully booking something for yourself!







Catch you later,

What I'm Wearing This Autumn / Winter

This past year has really been the point where I have began to think more about how I chose my personal style and what I'm really interested in when it comes to what I'm going to have in my wardrobe. Fashion "trends" can change as fast as a click of a designer's finger. Whether they completely revamp their ideas, or even just a simple change of colour, be sure that everyone who's following them will know. Now, just to make this clear. I don't know all the ins and outs of fashion, I'm sure by now that is pretty obvious. However, the reason I write these kind of posts is because I think that in doing so, I get to research and pass on what I have found, maybe even what I have tried and things I've liked etc. In keeping with that idea, here are my Autumn / Winter 2016 thoughts... Firstly, everyone has their own fashion vice... Whether it be having a humongous hoard of heeled boots, a colossal collection of coats and jackets or a vast array of V

My current favourites + wishlist wants!

As we all know, I'm admittedly addicted to all things fashion and makeup related, so in light of that... I thought that I'd keep you updated with what I'm currently liking or wishing I had (not that I need any more things though!) Now I'm never off websites like ASOS, New Look, Boohoo etc... and with all that time spent, I've created a fair few wish lists of items I would love (but can't afford or justify) to add to my collection. Jumpsuits are my new favourite thing... what's easier than being able to throw on one of these and look as if you've spent ages on deciding what to wear!? There's one thing which I have to say I am rather intrigued with, and that's culottes. I never used to see the point in wearing trousers that simply looked too short, but now I'm a fan!? Major turn around right here that's for sure. I think because there is so many different types and styles that I'm willing to give them a go... Anot

Older and wiser?

How are we all? I haven't been on here recently for many reasons, but the main one being that I just haven't had an interest, and that's okay. As it was my birthday only recently, it's become more apparent to me about how much things can change in your life, whether it be plans, family or career plans... “‎Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning... Anyone can start over and make a new ending .” Chico Xavier Hindsight is always a great thing, but if we hadn't made the mistakes / choices that we did, then we might not be in the position that we are now. One of the main things that I am thankful for and always will be, is my family being supportive as they are. They have shaped my personality and made me who I am today, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah, we've had our ups and downs but shit happens, right? “The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can chang
