REVIEW: Flormar holographic nail enamel

If Cinderella wore nail polish to the ball, it would have been this one.

                                                     Flormar nail enamel shade 392

                               (apologies for the grown out gel nails, i need to infill them at the weekend)
I LOVE this nail polish, unfortunately it is difficult to photograph but in reality it is the perfect holographic silver made up of the tiniest opalescent glitter particles, full coverage in 2 coats and its been on my nails over a week and hasn't chipped yet. ( although they are gel nails so polish does tend to last better on them due to the hardness.)

And a huge bonus...... It only cost 2.99€

I bought it from the new Flormar shop in centro commercial Nueva condomina in Murcia, but there are new shops opening up in other areas and you can buy from the UK Flormar website, it looks like they do international delivery too.

Click here to go to the Spanish website ( language can be changed and there is a bigger selection of the products available but it doesn't look like online shopping is available yet)

The shop had only just opened when i went in just before Christmas and they had a huge collection of nail varnishes which is what drew me in, i bought about 6 different colours and have been very impressed with most of them, excellent value for money. Some of the other cosmetics seemed overpriced but as i haven't experienced the quality of them yet i cant judge. I did however buy an amazing mascara from there. Review coming soon!!!!

Whats your favourite nail polish?   have you tried anything from this brand?

5 good things

Every Friday i am going to list 5 good things of the week, Hopefully this will make me more grateful for the things i have and outweigh the negative things from the week. So this weeks 5 goof things are:

1. The January sales have finally started! - in Spain Christmas isn't celebrated until the 6th of January so the sales don't start until after then. Sparkly shoes and party dresses have all been bought, now i just need an excuse to wear them!

2. My Boyfriend - I am so grateful to have him in my life.

3. My IPAD - I got this for Christmas and have been glued to it ever since.

4. Holographic nail polish - Everytime i glance down at my sparkly nails they make me smile. (Review coming soon)

5. My Amazon deliver has finally arrived and i cant wait to start reading the books i ordered and play zumba for Wii.

Guessing games

Yesterday i went shopping, i found it quite amusing that now its only just starting to get cold outside, almost cold enough to wear a coat, but the shops are now stocking spring/ summer clothes and the last of the winter stock is on its way out with the sales.

So you have to guess what the weather is going to be like 3 months ahead of time to buy the clothes you will need for the coming season, in a few weeks time we will definitely need to wear a coat but you wont be able to find a coat in the shops because they have been replaced by swimming costumes and summer dresses.

The same thing happens in the middle of summer when you decide you want to buy a new pair of shorts, you go to the shops and they are full of woolly jumpers and coats and not a pair of shorts to be found anywhere.

For some people it might be fine to guess what they are going to need ahead of time but when you are losing weight you don't know what size you will be in 3 months time when you actually need that item and having lost over 6 stone in the last few years i always end up with a wide selection of sizes in my wardrobe just in case,

So is that the only solution? not only having to guess what clothes will be suitable for the weather in 3 months time but also having to guess how much weight you will have lost by then as well?????

Friend or Faux?

The title is not a mistake, i did not mean Friend or Foe, a foe is an enemy or someone who certainly is not a friend, a faux is a fake, a fraud, somebody who maybe you thought was a friend.

I don't think you ever really know who your true friends are until a life changing event occurs, for me it was moving to a different country....  6 years ago i moved to Spain to help my parents set up their business, in England i was working a lot and partying a lot and it was getting boring, i had no idea what i wanted to do in the future and had left college with qualifications in art & design ( not many career choices to follow that). So i was ready for a new change and a new life.

What i didn't expect though was for the majority of my friends to completely forget that i exist, within 6 months of leaving only about half of my friends had bothered to keep in touch, within a year it was down to about 10 people and now only about 6 people keep in touch , with today's technology i don't really think there are many excuses, everybody is on facebook and have mobile phones most with free messaging services. The thing is you are just one person going missing from their lives, they still have everybody else around them but for you, you have lost everyone.

I was popular, i had a lot of friends, but I'm quite glad i found out early on which ones were worth bothering with and which weren't...

Do you know who your real friends are?

The Beginning

I always find the best place to start is at the beginning...

It is the start of a new year, and instead of making new years resolutions i thought instead i would start writing a blog, with all of my friends living in a different country than me and my poor boyfriend really not interested in a few of my favourite subjects ( make-up,shoes, shopping, diet & nutrition and other girly stuff) i decided this would be the best place for me to voice my opinions and share knowledge with like-minded people ( rather than boring my poor boyfriend half to death).

so without further ado i begin my blogging journey.........
