Review: Pedi-Sox

A couple of months ago I posted a pedicure I did whereby I was complaining that my feet were so cold that I ended up smudging my nails by putting socks on too early. So when I was given the chance to review some Pedi-Sox I jumped at the chance, because I can't be the only one with the problem.

Do they live up to the claims? 

I was send a couple of different pairs of Pedi-Sox, and have tried them all out so I can fully review them. 

My feet were warm while I was doing my pedicure and once I had finished I could allow my polish to dry without my feet getting cold, which was a real problem of mine. My pedicure got to dry and look good without any sock marks denting or smudging my nails. Wearing these does encourage me to paint my toenails even when it is cold, which is quite a lot of the time living in Northern England. I was suffering from numb toes whilst painting them in December, which is not good!

Applying a foot lotion and then wearing these really did help the lotion sink in to the skin and made my feet lovely and soft, so they do help in conjunction with a foot lotion. I used Soap & Glory Heel Genius. Of course wearing the Pedi-Sox did help my feet to not get bits of fluff on to them from the floor, and the claim is right your feet do seem to be a magnet for fluff if you apply a lotion and don't put on socks.

Time Period Challenge: Industrial Revolution

So for the industrial revolution I have attempted to do a spinning jenny of sorts with the cogs and the wool on the forefinger. As for the rest, I've tried to do a factory with all of its smoke and smog coming from the chimneys.

I wanted to do something spring like but didn't want to cover up the amazing holographic-ness of A England's Tristam. There will be a proper swatch of this polish coming here within a fortnight.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 11

This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. 

I found all of these images stamped well and easily, I only struggled slightly with the heart and lines image. I am a fan of the clover image, and as usual if you want to see some of the nail designs I have done with this plate then click here.
