Elaine's Beauty- A little treat just for me!
11:27:00
Good morning Beauties,
Last Saturday I went to Elaine’s Beauty, a salon close to
where I live to get my nails done. A few months back when I was feeling quite
sick, Elaine very kindly sent me a voucher to come and get my nails done as
well as some Dermalogica samples. It was such a lovely treat, it really helped
make me feel better.
I have super busy lately that even my nails were getting
rejected which is totally unlike me so with a free Saturday morning, I got in
touch with Elaine and booked myself in. Her address is super easy to find, so
close to the main road that there was no traffic at all and easy parking right
outside.
The salon is purpose built next to her mum’s house and has
everything you need it in. Elaine uses top brands such as Waxperts for Waxing,
Dermalogica for Skin (which she is trained as an expert in) and then CND
Shellac for Nails.
I was really excited to get my nails done. We had moved
office in work during the week so I was lifting boxes and pulling and dragging
that some of my nails broke and some of the polish had come off so I broke it
off (For anyone who uses Shellac or Gelish, don’t do this it ruins your
nails!!) I am usually so good with my nails but it was an extremely stressful
week and I didn’t have a file on hand.
Anyway…after removing the old polish and fixing the shape we
were ready to pick a colour. OMG Elaine knows her artwork!! There is a massive
and I mean massive range of colours available to you in Elaine’s. She has
almost every single colour available apart from 3 she thinks so I have never
seen so many reds in all my life! I had seen a picture online of a colour I
loved and when I saw it in real life, it was beautiful but it was pink and I
was just having pink taken off so I decided on a new purple colour instead, this is the unbelieveable Wisteria Haze. As
with all my nail applications, I couldn't have just one colour so I went with a
glitter on my ring finger as well.
Here are my beautiful nails….
I am so happy with them, I should get at least the two weeks
out of my nails and I feel now that they are slightly shorter and all the
moving is done, they should stay lovely and pretty. One tip Elaine did give me
about the condition of my nails was to ensure that I use cuticle oil each night.
I have a bottle of the CND oil from ages ago in the bedside locker so I now
need to add that into my routine and keep at it so my hands and nails are in
the best shape possible. I will certainly try my best as she could see my nails
were dehydrated so time to look after my babies.
