Elegant Touch Nail Review

I've always been a nail girl, I was the girl in school that got really into nail art, I mean deeply into nail art. I tried all the tricks from newspaper printing to water marbling, I even had angry birds nails, yes  your heard right, angry birds but I was never one to have fake nails. Being in school and dance I would always have to remove them but also being a contact lens wearer, touching my eyes is a daily activity which can become painful if something sharp and pointy is in your eye.

But not too long ago my best friend gave me a half used pack of elegant touch stiletto nails as she had used all the ones she needed and I wanted to give them ago. They were so beautiful and I was hooked on them instantly. The nails come in so many different shapes and designs, plus they have most beautiful Henry Holland collection!(Like serious, they're amazing)

They usually stay on for about 5 days but can be more/less depending how hands on you are at everyday life, and also come with two pairs of each size, and therefore can be used twice (but i blates use them more than that, just re-glue them its sound).

For everyday use I do love the bare nails, they're great as you can just swap out colours when you need them rather than being stuck with the same colour all week. They don't chip and I have recieved so many compliments from people thinking I have gone to the salon for like £20 acrylics when they're really just £4.50 glue ons.

Also if your a bit nervous to use the nails as they can sometimes damage your real nails underneath, elegant touch also have nail guards which are just clear adhesive strips that you stick on underneath your fake nails and they will help protect but also help with the removal of your nails and are well worth picking up.

Tips To Save Money As A Student

So as I'm about to go into my fourth and final year of university I think its would be a perfect time to share my tips on how to save money at university. As many people have found in the England (not sure about other places) the student loan can just cover the slight basics of living and especially being a fashion student, there just is no time for a part time job, and even though we are students we still like a good treat once in a while, or maybe nearly everyday!

- My first tip would be to join as many student discount sites as you can, each have their own different sites and stores to give eligibility to, so get NUS, Unidays, the lot, your entitled to it, so sign up! Also for online shopping, search for the site your wanting to by products from for discounts, or google '..... discount vouchers' and occasionally you'll get a gem of a discount.

- Secondly check your universities opportunities, some give bursaries or grants to help students, the process of applying may be long winded and stressful but keep going, they're so worth it in the end! I was actually able to get a brand new free laptop from my uni which was soooo helpful when it came to doing work.

-Loyalty cards, I think I own every single points card in the world, its beyond a joke and my purse will not close properly anymore for points cards, they're great for getting money off things or even just getting something free say your 10th coffee free. And I'm not going to lie, the day you do get something free, you'll feel unreal!

-Look around. Search different stores for the same products, use your time rather than just going for convenience, it can save you sooooo much. Also bulk buy, if you know your going to use the product a lot, or if its food it can be saved, buy bulk packs, they really do work out cheaper in the long run. For example there was a body wash I loved and for 1 bottle it was £1, but for 6 somewhere else it was £4.50 and some may think its being cheap, but being a student, that's a drink on a night out or a packet of doritos...your choice ha! 

-Make the most of your summers and Christmas break, some students use this time when going home to get little part time jobs, and it can be so helpful when returning back to uni. However just remember, this is a break, take it!
