My love this week has to be the Orly FX gel nails... I know I know everyone has this super lasting polish out now BUT I have always LOVED Orly polish's I believe they are long lasting and have great coverage and in fact rarely chip!

So after a long old time developing this fantastic product Orly have finally released their Gel FX range! EEEEK this almost causes me to fall over and get damp knickers! I apologise for my crudeness but it’s just that good!

 

Within this mind blowing collection they have carefully selected 32 Shades matched to the Top-Selling Lacquer

 

Orly boasts how GelFX manicure system is durable and provides the wearer with a chip free manicure that is set to last for about 2 weeks. Alongside this they state that it will hold its shine and has an EASY removal system!

 

My favorite part of Orly is that they have perfectly matched each GelFX shade to their original polish collection allowing you have the perfectly matched Mani Pedi combo! AMAZING!

 

I have been lucky enough to try out the GelFX manicure and was pleasantly surprised with the results, never having tried a gel manicure polish before I was dubious about the results and the process but with half the curing time of a standard gel manicure it was defiantly hitting my 5* target.

 

“Gel FX is the best of both worlds. It delivers top selling ORLY shades in a gel formula with longer lasting shine and wear than anything else on the market today,” said ORLY founder and President and CEO Jeff Pink.

 

The whole process used to create this flawless look has been carefully produced to ensure that it is infused with vitamins that build up strength fright from the first coat! Antioxidant vitamins A and E help to promote healthy nails, while pro-vitamin B5 protects the structure of the natural nails! And once the nails are set you’re treated to Orly's special cuticle oil which conditions and moisturizes your cuticles and gives you nail to die for!

 

I have included a shade card taken from the Orly website so you can see the diverse shades currently available!www.orlybeauty.com

 

I had my Orly FX manicure done by the very talented Stephanie Allen, She runs her own company called Pure Indulgence – and it is just that

 

She never fails to impress me with her talents, and offers a wide range of services as well as an Orly GelFX Manicure

 

Her price list states that to grab yourself a GelFX polish set will only set you back a mere £24! And for a minimum of 2 weeks wear I think that’s worth it!

 

Feel free to check out Pure indulgence’s Facebook page!

Within her pricelist she offers a large selection of massages, facials, Marvel lash extensions, waxing, mani, pedi’sand much much more!

 

We at contagious clubwear are proud to say we have 3 very strong willed women who decided to walk, jog or run the race for life 5 k this July in Portsmouth.

Jhe 3 women who took part were JAG, Pablo & MrsB

 

The best bit about doing the race for life was that we got to have fun, do something for a good cause AND GET FIT!

 

They matched in a custom pink & white styled pure dress, which was printed with both the contagious logo and the race for life logo.

 

I was one of the women to take part, it was sooo hard considering before this day I may have accidentally forgot ton to partake in any training …. At all! And as you can imagine doing 5k in a pair of trainers which have hardly been broken in was an effort in itself.

 

I did this for my mother, who suffered with breast cancer, not only that I did it for anyone out there who has fought and won, fort and lost or who is still fighting for their life.

 

This blog is rather short and sweet but we are proud that we took part and did our bit for the cause!

 These are CUSTOM pure halternect dresses, so if you have an event you want to look extra special drop us an email sales@contagiousclubwear.com

we do custom outfits and printing! so really make the outfit your own and be unique!

 

 

 

 

Lent to me by a very good friend, Skinny bitch has to be the funniest and frankest books about food i have ever read.

I am a self confessed food addict, hater and lover and generally All at once!

I spend my day thinking about food, trying not to eat food, thinking about what im having at each meal and how i can avoid the bad foods. Before this book i didnt know much about what was going into my mouth, i just shoveled it in willy nilly. now dont get me wrong i could tell the difference between good food and bad food but it didnt stop me wanting and/or needing bad food.

I am currently on chapter 5, also known as the dairy disaster. and i cant wait to read it this afternoon at my hair appointment, i enjoy the book so much i have order myself a copy of my very own and even gone as fas as to buy the other books in the collection - Skinny bitch in the Kitch, skinny bitchin, and skinny bitch bun in the oven.

well to give you an insite into this ever so no nonsence guige to becoming fab......

Now this is no normal diet book although its full of facts its not mundane and boring to read like other books out there, it has honestly made me laugh so loudy even i want prepaired for it! It is full of truthful, smart-mouthed revelations about food and what goes into food. its full of an obscene amout of attitude but behind all of this it has solid information. This book was written to help promote a healthy lifestyle full of wholegrains, fruits and beg and encourages women to becme excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."

one of my fav quotes from the book is -  “You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to lose weight.”

This book is full of some COLOURFUL language! be warned!

~“Whenever you see the words ‘fat-free’ or ‘low-fat’, think of the words ‘chemical shit storm’.”

~“You might be fat because you don’t poop enough.”

~“You need to exercise, you lazy shit.”

Before borriwing and reading this book, i was unaware that the authers believe that the best wey to be skinny is to have a vegan lifestyle. This i do not completly agree with however i do feel that having more fruits and veg in your life is deffinatly a good thing!

Pros:
This book takes an honest look at how we eat and why we are fat. The conversational tones make for a quick, entertaining read. There is a great section in the back of the book that lists bad or potentially bad food ingredients that we should look for when reading nutrition labels (I had no clue about some of this stuff), and it includes a great vegan/vegetarian resource section.

Cons:
The book advocates a vegan lifestyle and condemns the consumption of all animal products. It does offer a menu to follow, but if you really are interested in starting to eat this way, I feel the book definitely falls short. I think a newbie to this type of eating needs more guidance than this book offers.

Still i feel its a great read :D

Available to buy at Amazon or any good book shop
