The Review: Nail It Spa, Hawally

So I thought since I have been to get my nails done twice at this salon I should probably do a review!

The background: I had wanted to get a manicure and pedicure as the my current nail polish was dated! I had a gorgeous peachy pink with diamantes on my hands and feet for my cousins's wedding prior to moving to Kuwait. They were beautiful..If I can find a photo I will include it below :) Anyways I needed to refresh my nails so I googled nail salons near where I live and I came across Nail It. It seemed quite reasonable and it was near so my friend and I popped along about 3 weeks ago now for our first visit.

LED Gel Manicure at Nazila Love Glamour, London

The review: On the morning they called me to remind me that I still had an appointment which was nice and the receptionist was very polite and friendly. When we got there, we were greeted and asked which scrub for the manicure we wished to go for. They were lovely but I felt a little pressurised in opting for the 'Soothing It' scrub so we went for that only to find out properly about the others which we then changed to the regular Nail It scrub. We were asked to choose our colours - I opted for a french manicure as it's chic and it goes with everything. We were led to sit down in our chairs and our manicurist came. I had Carol and Nori and they were both so lovely and friendly. It definitely felt like a pamper session with my hands and feet being done. They took their time and asked what shape name I would like and if I wanted any other treatments. I really enjoyed it. The whole manicure and pedicure took about 2 hours. This was because I had to have my previous Gelish nails removed and then reapplied. I just had a regular french pedicure as nail polish on my toes tends to last longer.

My first visit to Nail It - French Gelish Manicure

My second visit to Nail It - Regular Manicure using Orly Mayhem Mentality (LOVE IT!)

The verdict: So overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I ended up bringing another friend on my second visit. The staff were very attentive and friendly which is a must. Also, there is a tv with my favourite E! News which made me feel very at home and relaxed. The pricing is reasonable as I ended up paying 21KD for a Gelish manicure, regular pedicure, callus removal and Gelish removal so I would definitely go again. I would give this salon 9/10!

As I had a regular manicure and pedicure on my second visit, I found that with my day to day activities it did not last as long as the Gelish. So next time I visit I will be returning to Gelish manicures. I would definitely recommend visiting this salon. They also have another branch in Arraya which offers massages and other treatments.

That's all for now,

Love & Blessings,

Ahlan w Sahlan from Kuwait :)

Ahlan w Sahlan all my lovelies :) I have finally moved to and settled in Kuwait!

I have been in Kuwait for a month now and I am getting used to a more relaxed way of life.  For the first 2 weeks, I had an school induction which was quite dull to be honest. There was a lot of talking and sitting and listening...and not much information being taken in! The fun part came when we were allowed to decorate out classrooms. I really enjoyed decorating mine. I love to make sure that each and every child will enjoy learning in my classroom and so far it's so good. My class are lovely, chatty too but so very lovely. I am glad I do not have a class like last year who were just out of this world!

So far I have been to two beach clubs that were lovely but I will not join as there are mixed facilities. I am hoping to join gym nearby and I am looking forward at getting into more of a routine. Next week I start Arabic which I am excited about! I have also looked into horse riding...I want to make the most of my time whilst I am out here.

In terms of teaching, it is different from the UK. The majority of the staff are unfamiliar with the British curriculum which was a bit odd at first considering the school prides itself on teaching from the British curriculum. Other than that, the staff are nice and my team and I get along well. The children are lovely and they are thriving to learn which is so nice to see.

Out of school, I have been to a few malls and eaten out. Kuwait is beautiful and relaxing but there is not a lot to do compared to London. Obviously they are two different places on two different scales! But I am trying to find things to get involved in so I am busy and making use of my time.

Tomorrow is Saturday so like a Sunday in the UK...and I will be popping into school to do a few jobs. That way on Sunday aka Monday morning everything will have been prepped :)

Well I am going to sleep now, as I intend on waking up early to do a few jobs!

Love & Blessings,
Sara
