The unlikely $5 item from Kmart that's saving Aussies a fortune on beauty: 'These changed my life'

One Aussie shopper has found the ultimate budget beauty hack that will save you thousands of dollars per year. Beauty-obsessed Mya Bertolini, shared her knowledge on TikTok, unveiling a $5 bargain that instantly makes nails look like they've just left the salon. Mya revealed she can make the OXX Cosmetics French tip coffin-shaped press-ons from Kmart ($5) last an impressive three weeks - without the price tag or damage of a professional set. 'These used to last me only three days,' she told viewers. 'Now they last me three weeks. They're so good. I will never get acrylics again.' The beauty lover explained that the key to long-lasting results isn't just from the product itself, it's all in the prep too. 'All you're going to need is a nail file and pure acetone,' she said in the clip, which has amassed 100,000 views. 'I got these at a beauty supply store,' she continued, as she walked viewers through her routine. Mya began pushing back her cuticles and gently buffing her natural nails. 'You don't want to damage them.' Next came what she says is the most important step - wiping the nails with pure acetone to strip away any oils on the nail plate, which could affect how well the glue sticks. 'It's going to completely get rid of all the oils,' she explained. Once her nails were clean and prepped, she used the glue that came with the Kmart set to apply the press-ons. The final result was a flawless, professional-looking manicure for a fraction of the cost. And Mya isn't the only one ditching expensive nail salons for good. Her video has been flooded with comments from fellow beauty lovers who are also jumping on the trend. 'Thank you. I'm so over these nail salons,' one person wrote, while another declared: 'LOVE! Dramatic but press-ons, these have changed my life.' Others shared their own tips and favourite brands, with one user recommending: 'You should try the Cotton On ones! They're so cute and legit so strong.' Another clever commenter added that wiping down the inside of each fake nail before applying can also help them stay on longer. But while the DIY nail sets are winning rave reviews, not everyone was sure how to safely remove them. One fan asked, 'Okay but how do you take them off though?' To avoid damaging your natural nails, beauty experts recommend soaking the press-ons in warm, soapy water for several minutes before gently lifting them off with a spoon or cuticle stick. Any remaining glue can be carefully scraped away, and it's always best to follow up with a nourishing cuticle oil or moisturiser to restore hydration. With salon visits now costing Aussies anywhere from $60 to $120 a pop, it's no surprise that more women are reaching for this clever Kmart hack instead. At just $5 a set, it's a beauty bargain that's hard to beat - and one that's changing the nail game for good.

Aussie foodies rejoice as top burger chain Grill'd launches in COLES

Aussie burger lovers will soon be able to bring one of the country's most popular takeaway meals into their own kitchens - without the price of dining out. For the first time, Grill'd is launching its burger patties in supermarkets, teaming up with Coles to sell a range starting at $8 for a two-pack. The move comes as cost of living pressures continue to bite, with many Australians cutting back on takeaway and cooking more at home. Customers can buy three varieties of Grill'd patties in Coles stores nationwide from Wednesday, August 6. Patties available in the range include the Signature Beef ($8 for two), Premium Wagyu Burgers with Caramelised Onion ($10 for two), and a family-sized four-pack of Signature Beef ($12.50, in selected stores). The range will also be discounted by $1 for the first four weeks. Coles experts found that more than half of shoppers want to recreate their favourite restaurant meals in their own kitchens, with 'a familiar taste' being the top driver of what ends up on the plate. While the price is a fraction of what you'd pay for a full burger and sides in-store, Grill'd says the patties are made to the same quality standards you'd expect in their restaurants, with premium Aussie beef and no chef skills required. Fans are already calling for more of their restaurant favourites to hit the shelves. 'We just need the herb mayo now,' one wrote. 'Please release the sweet chilli mayo! I beg,' another wrote. Others have their eyes on side orders. 'Oh my god, I need the chicken bites next, please,' one wrote. Grill'd Founder and Managing Director, Simon Crowe, said he was excited to bring the brand to the supermarket aisle, giving more Australians the opportunity to enjoy the burgers. 'For over two decades, Aussies have loved coming into Grill'd restaurants for healthy burgers that taste good and do good. This next chapter in our story is very exciting as we take our products into people's homes,' he said. 'Having our burgers available nationally at Coles allows us to take the next big step in our mission: to make our healthy, delicious burgers accessible to all Australians.' With Aussies increasingly looking for ways to enjoy their favourite foods without the restaurant bill, it seems this might be one kitchen shortcut that will have plenty of shoppers rushing to the meat aisle.

AFL star Dale Thomas and wife Natasha welcome their first child together and reveal the baby girl's sweet name

AFL star Dale Thomas and his wife Natasha have welcomed their first child. The baby girl arrived last week, with the couple updating their fans on the good news on Tuesday night. 'Allegra Thomas. No words for this kind of love,' they wrote in a joint Instagram post. Alongside the tot's birthdate - July 31 - the pair shared a series of images showing the newborn. In one of the sweet photos, her smitten footballer father looked on at little Allegra as she lay on a bed. The couple's celebrity friends were quick to congratulate them on their newfound parenthood. 'Naw congratulations! Beautiful name for a beautiful girl,' wrote Emma Hawkins. 'Awwwww she is perfection! Massive congratulations to you both,' commented Rhonda Burchmore. 'Yay! So happy for you guys!! She's the cutest,' said Abbey Holmes. The AFL great, 37, shared the news that he and Natasha were expecting on Instagram in March, alongside a carousel of images showcasing his wife's growing baby bump. The couple opted to let the images do the talking, adding the simple captions, 'Mum + dad' and 'Baby Thomas, due August. We love you so, so much.' The lovebirds walked down the aisle at Mount William Station in rural Victoria in February last year. The 160 guests in attendance included Eddie McGuire, MasterChef star Khanh, Olivia Molly Rogers, Rhonda Burchmore and footballer Heath Shaw, who was a groomsman on the day. The bride stunned in an off-the-shoulder ivory gown with a thigh-high split designed by Mariana Hardwick.

Dale, who's nicknamed Daisy, told Triple M's Rush Hour that he chose the 'glamping' theme - a form of luxurious camping - because he wanted to set a party mood for the event. 'It's all about having fun,' he said. Dale made headlines in November 2022 after telling fans on his socials he had proposed to his long-term girlfriend Natasha. The former Carlton and Collingwood player selected a picturesque Lake House in Daylesford, rural Victoria to pop the question.
