It’s Beauty Week at Target. Cosmetics, skin care, face wash, hand cream, make up, fragrances, nail care, gifts ... it's all on sale right now at Target.





Now I’m not one for buying copious amounts of beauty products. To be honest, I don’t really wear much make up.

Once upon a time, I used to. When I had a corporate job. Wearing proper clothes. Oh, and proper shoes. Nice healed, shiny shoes.

Now I just don’t have the time – I mean seriously, trying to get 2 kids out of bed, fed and dressed is no walk in the park. I like to make school lunches in the morning, which takes a bit of extra time. And then it’s time to throw on some clothes, and run out the door and into the car by 7:45 am.

My one little beauty treatment, which is all mine, is nails. I love love love getting my nails done. I go to my local nail salon once every 3 weeks-ish and sit there while they make my nails look so pretty.





If you following me on IG, you will see nail photos usually only moments after I have had them done.

Usually sitting in the car - at the first set of traffic lights on my way home…





I generally go with reds, all different shades of red, but over the festive season, I decided to go sparkly gold. Noice, no?





So where am I going with all of this “nail talk”?

Well I recently discovered nail wraps. They’re sticky nail strips which last for up to 10 days. There are some really fun and funky designs out there, which I think are great for any occasion.

Remember the old fashioned fake nails back in the 80’s? The ones that would fall off at the most inopportune moments – like into my dinner plate. I remember my mother was horrified when it happened.

These strips stick onto your nail (like a sticker). You then fold them over the end of your nail and file them at the fold - which cuts the excess sticker.

I only discovered these on the weekend. I was at a wedding weekend, and I helped my niece put them on. They're absolutely affordable and I think it's nice to be able to give your hands a whole new look (for under $10).

I popped into my local Target store yesterday and picked some up. The designs are amazing and there are so many to choose from. There is nail polish in every colour imaginable, embellishments and nail wraps for any occasion or outfit.
Seriously, the selection is amazing.





I ummed and ahhhed for a while. In the end, I purchased the first ones which had caught my eye – metallic leopard print.

Keep an eye out on IG. No doubt I will post photos when I put these on. For now, my hot red shellac is on show.
