Anyhow I soldier on as I haven't accounted for a pedi this week however my nails are painted so it will have to do.
I get a message from my niece when I'm at work to come into her beauty school today as she needs to do her Pedi to get marked on, seriously - God answers prayers. Even better its gonna cost me £5, I finish work at 15:00 and she needs me at 16:15 even better.
I get to the Salon as I pay for my Pedi a flash of glitter catches my eye.........O.P.I Gold glitter Polish called 'Bring on the Bling'. My niece takes out a selection of what she knows consist of my usual selection...... Summer brights Pinks, Orange and Red. I pick the peachy orange she says I knew you would pick that colour. I say "I love the colour in the cabinet," she says "if you want it on, you have to buy it". Remember earlier on I say that I didn't budget for a Pedi.
My niece asks her teacher if its classed as a dark colour as shes getting assessed on certain areas, her teacher OKs it. Then her teacher tells me its sold as a set and if i want it I have to buy the whole set. I get a good deal a selection of 4 O.P.I colours, hand cream, a nail file and a cuticle stick both glass I may add for £35.
My total spend was £40, I could have afforded a pedi in a local nail shop, bbm #Hand over eyes.
If you fancy a beauty treatment for a fraction of the price visit the London College of Beauty - www.lcbt.co.uk
Final note on the Summer, one of the biggest fashion items were the Palazzo pants they are big enough to hide a mutitude of sins. Sadly I didn't think they were for me.
I wonder..... did anyone else see the striking resemblence to the trousers in Miss Celie's shop in 'Colour Purple' when Sofia (Oprah Winfrey) steps out of the fitting room and is really happy to have a pair of these trousers on. If you haven't seen it, its a must see.
I tried to get a photo of the scene, but was unsuccessful.
