Flash.ON Nails - Review

Tuesday, 2 April 2013


Flash.ON Nails is the newest and hippest kid on the block when it comes to nail design. Hailing from East London they fill the gap in the market where others missed out, not only do they offer you ANY design you want - even your own face, you can have the design printed straight onto your natural nail with their Flash.ON nail machine!

Being miles away from where anything cool happens (i.e not in London) I tried out some custom falsies! Now to be fair, I'm not the biggest fan of false nails - I religiously have my nails done at my local salon and won't let anyone else touch them - except for the odd polish change myself. However since I could have anything in the world and in the name of research I thought why not?

I picked out a leopard print design...everyone loves an animal print right? I don't think I could face my own face on my nails...but each to their own! One of the first things that drew me to Flash.ON was the funky packaging, and sleek website design (I admit i'm a sucker for nice packaging)


You get a pack of 20 nails, nail glue and a top coat. It's super simple, you just select your nail size, pop a little glue on your nail - stick the nail on....wait for 5 second and finish with 2 top coats!

I thought I'd get a little creative and do an accent nail, so I had to file the tip down slightly to fit in with the rest of nail and this was really easy and the design didn't lift off!

On a side note - the glue pen, it's one of those fiddly ones where you have cut the top off, I guess to stop it drying out but clumsy me got it all down my finger, and nobody like granny glue hands!! Top tip if this happens - use an emery board to file the glue off, comes off a dream.

So here is the result:

Not bad huh? I think it goes well with my Spring coral colour I'm sporting at the moment.

To do my 2 accent nails it literally took me less than 2 minutes, and afterwards I was tidying up and what not and nothing moved! You could literally put these things on in the taxi on the way to a party and turn up with a perfect manicure!

The price of this set was £15*, but prices start from just £7.95. This set will do me twice, my accent nails and a full set. Maybe I should suggest they just print accent nails? (If you're reading this - take note! )

Overall I LOVE this product, it's a cool brand and ideas of things I wanted printed are already running through my head. I think I'll keep these handy for using in taxis from now on - these things should be in vending machines for emergencies they are so quick and easy to use.

And you know the best thing...they do parties, corporate events. If I ever get married....I'll hire one out! The possibilities are endless, I think you can really have a lot of fun with this!

Topshop loved this product as much as I did and invited them spend a month in their flagship store in London, but don't worry if you missed out you can still purchase them online at-  Flashonnails.com

What do you think? Have you tried Flash.ON nails?

MAC lipstick Hue

Sunday, 31 March 2013


In my previous MAC haul video one of the items I got was this MAC lipstick in the colour "Hue".

Hue is a dusty pink "glaze" as MAC describes it but, but i would say it's more on the matte side than "glaze" however not completely matte and gives a lovely soft and moisturised look the lips.

This shade is great for everyday wear and will look great in the summer to give pale people like me the "english rose" look.


I bought this lipstick from a MAC counter in the UK priced £13.50 

On a side note - I've just noticed MAC lipsticks have went up to £14!! When did this happen? I have been living under a rock for a few months so it might not be new news! I know it's only 50p...but soon it will be £14.50 then £15! What is the world coming too....

I'm always on the hunt for new MAC lipstick shades so let me know your favourite!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - 54 Boy

Saturday, 9 March 2013



While out shopping last week I decided to treat myself to a Chanel lipstick, I have a ton of lipsticks but not any Chanel, so I wanted to add one to my collection. I visited Franks here in Malta, but to be honest they didn't have a great selection, but amongst what they had I found the perfect lipstick - Rouge Coco Shine in shade 54 Boy.

Colour:
Shade 54 is a lovely a pinky coral colour which it pretty neutral and perfect for everyday where. It's not overly pigmented but does give lovely sheer colour, 

Formula:
As the name suggests it's a shine lipstick, but not glittery. The lipstick just seems to glide onto the lips, I really do love this formula, I find it to be very moisturising.

Packaging:
There is something about Chanel packaging I love, it's timeless and classic like the brand itself. It comes in a black plastic case with gold metal and a with logo printed on the lid.

Price: To be honest I'm not sure how much I actually paid for this, I was little distracted at the till but it was somewhere in the region of 20-30, but I had a quick look online and it's around £18 in the UK 

Overall I'm in love with this lipstick, and my new favourite at the moment and I'm keeping in my handbag so I can use it everyday. If you're looking to invest in a high end lipstick, I would definitely suggest this product as it ticks all the boxes!


Do you have a favourite Chanel lipstick?
