My most favourite type of lycra!

Advantages: Easy to apply, gives a lovely finish and the range has some lovely colours to choose from
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...When it comes to nail polish it's something I purchase rather often. I bite my fingernails so all I have to paint is my toenails and I have such issues with those that I really do feel the need to cover them up and keep them painted! I have flaky toenails that chip really easily and I'm really prone to losing toenails too and lets not talk about the awful ridges I have! So yes, I like to paint them! The Bottle... 12ml glass round bottle with a black screw on/off lid/cap to the top of it which holds a longish plastic 'wand' and on the end of that a soft and quite thick good quality brush is situated. On the front of bottle I'm told in silver writing that it is Rimmel 'London' Lycra Wear and that it lasts up to 5 days and is super durable polish and the colour is stated (in my case the colour is Grape Sorbet, 307). On the back...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polishes Up Nicely!

Advantages: "Maxi Brush" makes for quick, even coverage, no chipping, and the shades are great!
Disadvantages: A little pricey for such a small bottle, wait till it's on offer!

...Pretty Polished Nails - one of life's little luxuries! But in the middleof the dreaded credit crunch, a professional manicure is one expense I just can't justify, sooo, I do it myself! Head over to your local makeup counter though, and you'll find a blistering array of nail polish brands, each with their own rainbow of colours and their own claims to be fast drying, shock proof, chip resistant, all singing, all dancing, hot new shades, all buying for your attention. So which to choose?! A great Nail Polish can look fantastically chic, but a poor quality or badly applied version, can end up just looking tragically trashy. Well, I opted for Rimel Lycra Wear in "Hot Gossip", because a. I loved the colour, b. Rimmel is generally a reliable brand, and c. it was on 3 for 2 in Boots and I needed some other bits too! (Credit Crunch...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

Lycra on fingers works, just not on chubby thighs!

Advantages: Great range of colours, widely available, cheap, lasts well.
Disadvantages: None really, maybe they should do some brighter and bolder colours?

...-absorbent Xtra Life(TM) LYCRA(R), colour becomes unbelievably smooth, shiny and lasts up to 10 days.? It is a small bottle standing at 8cm high, including the 4cm long handle to the applicator brush. The bottle is nothing special at all, clear glass so that you can see the varnishes true colour with minimal writing on it. ?Rimmel London. WEAR MAXX. Lycra + Minerals. 286 Oyster Pink.? The back doesn?t say much either but is repeated in several different languages. ?Up to ten days supper durable colour. Flammable.? The brush is just like any other you find in a nail varnish. The handle is long enough to be easy to use and comfortable in the hand. There is a small ball bearing in the bottle so that when you shake it the varnish gets mixed up well. Always shake well before use as it can separate out and not work as well. There are 24...

..hands in the air,at Weston -Super -Mare!

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful day out.
Disadvantages: Too many people on the routes there in the Summer.

...I thought I'd write a Weston-Super-Mare review since my husband and I took our little ones there today for a spot of sandcastle building. As we only live 15 minutes away, down the M5, it's a place I have frequented throughout my life. My Grandparents live in Worle which is just off the motorway on the way in to Weston, and always took us to the seafront in the Summer, so this is the place I shall start. THE SEA FRONT Weston-Super-Mare is in North Somerset (previously Avon). Weston-sur-la-mer (on-the-sea) became Weston-Super-Mare for obvious reasons... our tangled evolution of language! I suppose it is sort of on-the-sea, but is really on the Severn Estuary. This means that there is a lot of mud washing up and down! We often, jokingly call it Weston-Super-Mud! At Weston, the beach is very very long and expansive...

Lycra NOT SO LONG wear?

Advantages: wide range of colours
Disadvantages: gloopy texture, chips easily

..."All new from Rimmel, Lycra Wear Nail Polish is a breakthrough in nail technology, enabling greater elasticity, resilience and wear. As a result, Lycra Wear Nail Polish boasts ultimate shock proof resistance with 5-day shining colour! Rimmel's Lycra Wear Nail Polish is available in 31 stunning shades ensuring you find the perfect shade to match whatever you're wearing" PRICE:- £3.99 from most likely anywhere! I got mine in Boots.

Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

Advantages: Great lasting finish. Easy on the pocket
Disadvantages: Haven't found one yet but I'll let you know if I do

...Right. It was Monday lunchtime and I was on a work avoidance mission. I didn't *need* any new nail varnish but this caught my eye on an end-aisle display stand in Boots. With an opportune "I?ll be right back" delay tactic in mind, I checked out a bottle from the display - "I've got Lycra in me" it claimed "I'm shockproof" it yelled , "I can last up to 5 days" it pouted, "I'm so nice & shiny" it smiled, "I'm yours for only £3.99" it insisted!. "Ha ha!? I thought, "I've fallen for hard-sell, spurious ad speak many times before, but not this time! No! Not me! For I, Tichymichy need none of your nail varnish!" But before I had time to further my argument with, well, myself (you had to be there) the pretty colours and promises had lured me in and the next thing I remember was waking up in the office clutching a little carrier...

Review of Travel Inn Weston Super Mare

Advantages: clean, next to a pub, ensuite, tea and hot chocolate, big room, heater
Disadvantages: noisy carpark, no tv remote, easy book didnt work on website

...We were looking for a hotel or guesthouse in weston-super-mare but for the same price as a small guesthouse with shared bathrooms you can go to the travel inn and have ensuite for just £42.95 per room... it doesnt matter what room you have , single, double, family - the price remains the same. Booking the inn did have its problems. I wanted to use the 'easy book' system they have on their website but it wasnt working properly (page cannot be displayed, some sort of server error). I am not keen on using the phone so I kept trying the easy book at regular intervals throughtout the day. After a day and a half I gave up and phoned them directly. The gentleman was very polite on the phone, the only problem was that you dont get a confirmation of booking like an email. This particular inn was by a leisure centre on the main road into...

~ That'll Do Donkey ~

Advantages: Great Beach, Nice food, Plenty to do, Donkeys!!
Disadvantages: none

...~ That?ll Do Donkey ~ This Monday bank holiday a few friends and I decided to go on abit of a road trip and we eventually after getting bored of our first destination Cheddar came to Weston Super mare. As a downfall the weather turned out to be rubbish and we typically choose the Monday to go visit the town which was annoying as the rest of the weekend was pretty nice. Anyway not really planning on going there it was the next place that was near Cheddar that I could think of that had plenty to do and see. I have been to the sea side town many of times before as I used to go every year at some point when I was younger but I hadn?t been there for about three years prior this visit. I have always liked Weston Super Mare as I think it has a variety of attractions for all age groups and it can be a brilliant beach resort when...

Review of Weston-super-Mare (England)

Excellent nail varnish at a good price

Advantages: Strong colour, lasts ages, only needs 1 coat
Disadvantages: none

...I tried this for the first time over the weekend. I wanted a black nail varnish, and although I?m a fan of Jessica and OPI nail stuff, I wanted a cheaper one this time because I only intend it to wear for a night out so it doesn?t need to last ages or be really good quality. I chose Rimmel because I already buy some of my makeup from there and there was a 3 for 2 offer on in Boots on the Rimmel counter. I?d heard that the Lycra wear range is supposed to be really good and as well as lasting ages they prevent nails from breaking while it is on. It costs £4.50 for the bottle when you buy it from Boots which I think is a reasonable price. Packaging? The bottle is quite straightforward, it is a clear bottle with a black lid which has the ?lycra? logo printed on it like you would see on clothes labels. The bottle has...
