Bio Sculpture Gel Nails!

My nails now are long enough for a french manicure!!!
(finally)















The first time I had the Bio Sculpture nails, I went for a hot orange red which I loved. The products shine does not go away! It really lasts! 4 weeks later I did get 2 huge chips, but up until 3 weeks they looked good.



So a couple of months ago I decided that something needed to be done about my disgusting nails!

It was starting to get embarrassing. I didn't want acrylics because my nails were just too damaged(I was also banned from them by a friend of mine who said, and I quote "TACKY"), and they were just too broken to manicure.

Then I found a place that did Bio Sculpture Gel Nails for around £30. I was a bit dubious at first. But its basically a really hard nail
varnish.
It lasts for 3-4weeks and your nails slowly repair themselves.

I now love it. My nails don't break and I can grow them! It is a
bit expensive, especially when your on a student budget...
but I don't mind not eating for a week!

The Americans are missing out!

Found this on wiki: "List of British words not widely used in the United States"

Who knew there were so many words! Shocking!
I am also a bit upset that the Americans have no idea what Lollypop Ladies/Men are and bum bags! (which I think Im going to test-out soon in public!).

Apparently the Americans call bum bags 'fanny packs' (snigger!)

Apparently The first use of "whoops-a-daisy" per se is around 1925, in a New Yorkercartoon. It's an expression of surprise or dismay, specifically upon discovering one's own error. The modern-day equivalent would be "D'oh!", I'm afraid, which is much less expressive. The term was shortened to "whoops" by 1937, and appears in that form in a letter by Ezra Pound, no less. One assumes that it was related to the expression "to whoop," as in giving "whoops of joy." That usage goes back to the early 1600s.
But I also found this : "Terms such as "up-a-daisy" dates to the early 1700s, as an encouragement to a child who has fallen to stand up, or as an exclamation upon lifting a child. It's basically a nonsense phrase, presumably intended to amuse the little ones. Variants include "upsi-daisy" or "upsy-daisy" from the 1860s as well as "upsa-daisy" . . . " and "whoops-a-daisy"?

First Post... how exciting!

So after MUCH deliberation and several attempts I have finally decided to put a blog together!

I probably should have thought about a theme before I started this, I am not a 'Fashionista' but love fashion, Im not an Artist but love art and I am not off traveling the world... so this blog is going to be about bits and bobs (there goes half my blogging public already)

For those of you who are still reading this welcome to my blog!

I will try really hard not to use this blog to emotionally vomit all over you (and to prove to my friends that this is not why people blog)!

So here we go...
