Giveaway- Minty Nail Kit

I am doing a give away so you can recreate R's manicure from yesterday's post at home and throwing in a contrasting colour for toes and some of my favourite hand care products. The give away includes the following:

1. Essie 3 in 1 glaze

This acts as a base coat, strengthener and topcoat. I use it all the time and gives an amazing glossy finish. 

2. Essie nail polish in mint candy apple

This was the colour worn by R in yesterday's post and it is a refreshing minty pastel green to add some zing to your finger tips. 

3. Essie nail polish in tart deco

This peachy Coral is the perfect shade for summer toes and has adorn my feet for most of this summer. 

4. Sally Hansen maximum growth cuticle pen

I am obsessed with these pens and have one by my bed, one in my desk draw at work and another in my bag. Simple click the end and swipe the nourishing oil on your cuticles. 

5. Neil's Yard bee lovely hand cream

Softening, rich and quickly absorbing, keep this in your bag to maintain soft supple hands. 

If you fancy winning leave me a note below with your favourite mid week treat. It can be anything as long as it feels like a treat to you.

I will pick my favourite on the 1st September. Good luck.

A little bit of Pastille

The Granary Wharf area of Leeds has undergone a revolution in the time the I have been in Leeds. It's is also one if my local stomping grounds. Traditionally it has been home to bars and eateries but nestled in Waterman's place Pastille has opened.

It is a candy coloured perfection of a nail bar offering a variety of nail treatments for women and men both on a booking and walk in bases. I booked R and I in for manicures.

I first heard about Pastille from a colleague who booked in on her lunch hour. It is open late on a Thursday so you can pop in for a post work treat like we did and unusually it is also open on a Sunday in the event that you need a weekend pick me up. It's Los conveniently located near a number of Hotels and would be the perfect place to host a hen do pamper session.

I went for the Gel mani choosing Opi black cherry berry and R had a Dash Mani in Essie's mint candy apple. I am afraid I left my camera at home but managed a few picks on my phone. if your in Leeds and fancy booking your own mid week treat check out the website for more details.

The staff are lovely and friendly. They clearly have a passion for their job and were more than happy to show us the different nail art effects including studs, stripes, quilting and marbling to name a few. As you leave you are handed a little tub of complimentary minty bath salts to continue the experience at home.

Afterwards we headed to Cuvée on the corner of Waterman's place for a pornstar martini and a cheeky shot called a Lemon meringue.

Check out the blog tomorrow for a chance to win a kit to recreate R's manicure at home.
