Nail wraps; the new nail varnish?

Ever wanted the unrealistic for your nails?, the unobtainable manicure? I've just stumbled upon the latest trend that is nail wraps, that's right a wrap for your nail.

Nail wraps are transferable wraps that you can place over your nails, sort of like a tattoo transfer for the nails but with a lot more concentration and effect required.

They come in little sheets that you can trim down to your preferred size and apply using a handy hairdryer, and a gentle but firm touch.


It seems like the easier, quick fix to a full on nail art job at your local salon but with some incredibly inventive patterns available from woven lace patterns to leopard prints.

I'm not too sure if I'd have the patience to apply them, let alone cope with them for a week on my nails, but it sure beats a standard coat of varnish.

Forever 21 lands

After a recent excursion to Birmingham I was quite surprised that this little news nugget had passed me by as I spotted a giant Forever 21 board in the bullring.

The U.S brand has often been compared to H & M for it's affordable fashion and style. I've long been envying the bargainous finds of U.S bloggers from Forever 21 and now it seems we're not long off having the UK's very first branch of Forever 21.

Looking at the U.S site I can just hope that we have similar lines with the launch over here. The knit dresses, slouch tops, and endless range of jewellery is enough to make you overload your basket.

The store is still in the process of development over here & according to industry insiders it won't open until early 2011 but plans for further branches across the UK already seem to be in discussion. Here's hoping it lives up to it's marvellous comparisons.
