Gem and Jo's Festive Holiday Nails

Well hello there! Welcome to another unusual edition of polish picks, this one not so much polish, oops. Instead we're gonna show you guys there crazy cute false nails from Primark, which were only €1.50! 

We decided to wear these bad boys for our university Christmas day which was way back on the 15th of December. Basically Christmas day on campus is an excuse for people to skip lectures and wear festive clothes for the day. It's a great tradition and this year was great fun for our last year on campus *sadface*

While we put on the mandatory festive jumpers and santy hats we also went that step further and put these uber festive falsies on. 

When we first got them we were like "these will not last long" however they pleasantly surprised us! The majority of the nails lasted all day and we made sure to bring the glue that came with them just in case, but it definitely wasn't needed!

Jo went full on Christmas and used every design in the pack, which turned out super cute as you can see in the picture above!

Gem went for a more subtle look (mostly because the majority of the nails were a little too big) but it too turned out quite cute, as seen below! Gem also used Primark's PS Love collections pink shimmer nail varnish which was on sale for 50c!

There you have it! Our super festive, cute nails for Christmas day. We are definitely going to try more of Primark's false nails range and we shall let you guys know how we get on with them, as usual!

Which is your favourite look? What did you do on your nails for the holidays? 

Until next time,

Gem and Jo Take on Acrylic Nails

Today, we are going to do a quick review of Rio's Quick Dip Acrylic nails set! We didn't put them on either of us, but we did use Gemma's mam as our guinea pig! This is the product we used:

As the packaging suggests, they are quick and easy to apply and the only thing that takes up a lot of time is trying to file the nails down to the length you desire. The box contains most of the things you need except for a nail clippers! This is what you get:

Even amateurs like ourselves managed to obtain fairly decent results, so if you're used to doing these nails this would be a breeze! Here is Margaret's nails before and after:

The product is simple to use and the results seem to be long lasting and easy to achieve! If you're looking to do your own acrylic nails and have €25.59 to spend then this is the product for you! 

We purchased this product in Argos, you can buy it online here or in any Argos store across Ireland!
