Adventures of a Travelling Nail Enthusiast!
Time has really flown by! It seems like only yesterday I embarked on my 2 week trip and already months has passed since it ended. Coming back, I felt like an asteroid hurtling through space and crashing back into reality. Holiday's can really take you on an emotional roller coaster! The initial excitement of going, the joy when you finally get there then half way through, the mid-life crisis! Counting down the days and willing time to stop as the dread and depression builds.
For those who have been following me on instagram or facebook, you would have caught a glimpse of my adventure abroad! For those who haven't....this is some of what you've missed!

Mid-week Mani!
Hi everyone!
Ever had the toughest time making a decision? Weighing up the pros and cons and still can't make up your mind. Seeking advice from friends and family but it is still "your choice" at the end of the day?
Sometimes all we need is to clear our minds with a distraction and come back to it later! I did just that and gave myself a mid-week mani!
Very simple and chic! Hope you like it! Let me know in the comments below or any special requests like a simple step by step nail tutorial!
Love,
T xoxo

The Secret Cure to Brittle, Cracked and Peeling Nails?
Hi!
It's T here at T-Signer Nails and I'm here to bring to you our first product review among many still to come!
Ever come across a time of Brittle, Cracked or Peeling Nails that even doing the most basic day-to-day tasks such as opening a soda can has become a nail-splitting experience? I know I have! I've always loved doing my nails. Painting and designing them using every colour under the sun, never forgetting to use base and top coats and never even getting acrylic nail extensions (which I know may come as a big surprise to many of you seeing as I'm a big nail art enthusiast). But as time passed, I started noticing my nails getting weaker, peeling and breaking at the slightest force. Growing my nails out became difficult and even if I could get them to reach a certain length without breaking, I'd notice the nails curling in on either side as if someone placed them in a clamp. What happened to my once strong and beautiful nails? My blank canvas for my designs.
For people who reside in UK, the hard water source plays a large part in our brittle, cracked and peeling nails also affecting our skin and hair. The long periods of cold weather and lack of sunshine also contributes to our lack of vitamin D and poor calcium absorption. For someone whom spent their childhood growing up under the sun, the changes to my hair, skin and nails were more obvious.
I tried all sorts of products claiming to "harden" and "strengthen" brittle, cracked and peeling nails but none ever having long-lasting results. By this point I resigned to keeping my nails short to avoid any painful accidents. That was until...I discovered THIS!
So what's my secret? Ok, I'll tell you...*drum roll please*

| O.P.I Nail Envy (Original) |
O.P.I Nail Envy! A gift from the heavens above! I use the Original Nail Envy but there is many versions including Matte, Maintenance etc.
(Click HERE to see the full range available in the UK!)
It is so easy to use and results within a week! Begin by applying two coats of O.P.I Nail Envy on your natural nails and an additional coat every other day for one week (i.e. apply on days 1, 3, 5 and remove on day 7.) where it is then removed and reapplied as desired. Even before the first week was up, I had already noticed the considerable changes to my nails! Now, to test them! I carried out 3 tests where previous to the days of O.P.I Nail Envy, nails would have definitely split! Test number ONE, opening of cans and tins. We have all come across different cans/tins with a pull or stay tab that are just a little bit too stiff! Trying to get your nails under the tab to lift up can often cause our nails to break, but now that my nails are "Nail Envied", the result? PASS with no cracks or breaks! Test number TWO, removal of staples from thick stacks of paper. A task so easy but at times, so troublesome that they have even invented tools to do this! The result? Another PASS! No more trying to dig out staples with the tip of your pen! Finally, test number THREE. Adding and removing keys on a Key Ring! The toughest being the wider flat metal rings! Almost like a miniature bear trap! So, the result? Another easy PASS! You now have (pretty much) invincible nails! Don't forget, you can also use it as a Base Coat to any nail polish! An added bonus!

The Final Verdict
