    Gel on nails? please explain...

    haircuts, eyebrows, waxing etc oooo and a massage or two yes but I tend to use my nails as implements and they are never too nice!

    I usually have acrylic but thought it was starting to look a bit Jordan/lap dancer ish :o so now have gel!

    It's a sort of 'semi permanent' manicure - goes on like polish but is set under a UV lamp. Doesn't chip or anything, just grows out! Then after 2 weeks I have it soaked off and begin again :D

    Will keep it until I get fed up then probably go back to acrylic

    PS - don't use your nails as 'implements' - it's a crime worse than throwing books away :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I can't bear to watch people doing things like open cans of pop or taking staples out with their nails :rolleyes:

    Hi Shoe Gal & all

    Glad to see there is a new & achievable plan on the go :D

    As for teeth & nails remember :

    They're jewels, not tools :rotfl:

    I have turned from Monica in friends to a slob around the house, but lately have tried to tidy up a bit more

    Some tips for you all
    Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil when I get in from work, I sort out any post (keep, bin, recycle)

    Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil after the first cuppa you can, wash a small amount of dishes, put any dry dishes away, wipe surfaces over , put a wash on etc

    Basically do anything instead of watching the kettle boil, its amazing what these few minutes a evening add up to

    I read that when ever you leave a room you should aim to have something in each hand that needs to be put away (or more if desired)

    Advert breaks are a few minutes (like the tea) when you can do some more tidying, put ironing away etc

    Hope that helps
