Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel

I have to admit that I've never been the someone that used nail polishes, well not until recently anyway. Now that I've started growing my nails out, I've started to enjoy painting my nails a lot more.  There have been a couple of times I've had my nails done professionally, however there's just something super therapeutic about doing your own nails. 

I've tried a variety of different polishes, ranging from drugstore to high end. At the moment my favourite stands with the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel. It's slightly more on the expensive side but I think it's definitely worth it. When it comes to purchase your Revlon Gel Envy Polishes you'll want to purchase a base colour. This is your base coat and colour in one. Perfect for cutting down the steps it takes when it comes to painting your nails. Your next coat will be the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat. This is your top coat and what will leave your nails looking and feeling like you've just got your nails freshly done at the salon. 

"Create salon quality colour in 38 vibrant colours with our revolutionary two step system. Brush on the base + colour in one, and then finish with the protective ColorStay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat for superior strength. Together, they create vivid colour, diamond-like shine and gorgeous life-resistant wear". 

I currently own two shades, one in Up In Charms and the other in Checkmate. They are both such gorgeous shades, in fact all the shades in the collection are stunning. They apply beautifully  leaving a smooth finish and a long lasting wear.

19 Things In 19 Years

A few weeks ago I celebrated my ninetieth birthday and I didn't really do to much to celebrate because unfortunately I wasn't very well.  Due to being stuck in bed all day I had a lot of time to reflect on the past 19 years and I think it's safe to say that I've learn't a lot over the years. I wanted to share the things I've learnt with you and maybe you've learnt similar things over the years.  

• Keep positive, regardless of what you have going on in my life. Try to avoid negativity and the dangerous cycle of comparison.

• Stop apologising for the things that make me truly happy. 

• Appreciate and love what my body does for me, even if it's not working perfectly. 

• Continue to connect with people, online and offline. 

• Hangout with family and friends as much as possible. Make incredible memories, love and laugh. 

• Allow situations to be what they are. 

• Fuss animals, always. 

• Stop being ashamed of the things you love doing, including hangout by yourself. 

• Make the most and manipulate fear into being the motivation I need rather than it being the thing that stops me. 

• Be kind and considerate, always. 

• Let these that love you unconditionally, help you when you need it. 

• Never let anybody make you feel inferior. 

• Take chances and opportunities when the arise because they won't always be there. 

• Always do your best, that's all you can ever do and remember, you can always try again. 

• Get outside and just walk. Explore your surroundings and take it all in. Breathe. 

• Live in the moment. Worry about now, not what could happen or has happened. 

• Embrace the time you have and don't wish that time away. 

• Make time for those and the things that matter to you. 

• Be proud and continue to be proud of yourself and everything you've achieved, and continue to achieve.
