DIY 2 Week Manicure Video

Well it is finally here The Beauty Chest’s 1st video I have being working on this for quite a while now trying to make it perfect for you all.
Drumroll please, my first video is on one of my favorite pampering treats a two week manicure
And I love doing them myself too very therapeutic I find lol.
I am using The Red Carpet Manicure Starter Kit in the video this one comes with an LED lamp
which I love as LED is a lot safer and kinder to your hands then the dangerous UV lamps that are on the market.
And if you yourself have one of these kits you will know you only get one shade of the gel color included.
 So I am going to show you how to use any non-gel color and brand you like
And still get a beautiful finish 2 week manicure that will do just that.
So get yourself a drink and make yourself comfy and I hope you enjoy

Stay tuned for more videos from The Beauty Chest coming soon and make sure you subscribe to The Beauty Chest on YouTube so you don’t miss a thing

Cartoon Time Take 2


Delighted is the feeling today and only as I was telling you all yesterday
My bag and purse from Jump from Paper finally arrived today
Which I'm also as surprised about as I only ordered it on Monday double bonus.

It’s just has lovely in reality as it was online and I'm very happy with my purchase
The only fault I have with it is the purse as a bit of a fiddly clasp that's not a fan of closing easy lol.
Other than that I have no complaints I absolutely love it
I brought it out on it first outing today and its already turning heads.
I will be definitely investing in one or two more pieces from them soon
Here is some pictures of my lovely cartoony accessories

Hope you love them as much a me
