''What in the jeepers creepers is this?!?!'' a horrified viewer wanted to know.
What age can you take kid to get their nails done?
MUMS have sparked controversy after allowing their kids to get acrylic nails. But just how old do they have to be to be allowed to get them done legally.
According to the National Occupational Standards, anyone under the age of 16 has to be accompanied by an adult.
They also need written consent from a parents or guardian.
It's also a good idea to check that the salon you're planning to go to - just to ask if they offer services to children.

I paid £130 for lost Heathrow luggage to flog on Vinted – I bagged designer gear, but something made me suspicious
Find out how to buy lost luggage BAG A BARGAIN I paid £130 for lost Heathrow luggage to flog on Vinted – I bagged designer gear, but something made me suspicious A WOMAN has revealed what turned up after she spent £130 on a mystery suitcase from Heathrow Airport's lost luggage. TikToker Lucia, who goes by @luciasisland, shared the moment the battered case landed at her front door and admitted that she was suspicious from the start. 2 A TikToker purchased a £139 lost Heathrow suitcase 2 She plans to flog its contents on Vinted Credit: tIKTOK/ @lUCIAISLAND 'There was no lock on the suitcase,' she told viewers, adding that the smell was "quite stale" and left her worried about what could be lurking inside. Hopes of a case 'stuffed to the brim with cash and mini Kellys' were quickly dashed, though she joked it could've belonged to someone brave enough to check in an unlocked bag. In fact, Lucia said she knew someone who did exactly that including putting her engagement ring inside an unlocked suitcase. "Wild," she added. Unwrapping the suitcase, Lucia found it was 'battered' with a broken handle. The dodgy smell didn't help either and she admitted she feared the case might be packed with a man's 'dirty pants and socks'. But when she cracked it open, the mystery started to unravel. Lucia discovered the suitcase likely belonged to a Chinese girl, with the first items falling out being two Chinese books and a stash of period pads. She searched the bag for ID or return tags but came up empty-handed. 'There was nothing,' she said – no purse, no name, no way to trace it back. I've made £5.6k on Vinted and here are the 7 items you need to upload now to make cash quick - white maxi skirts will sell instantly for a start There was, however, a single £2 Mexican coin inside, worth around 8p. Lucia said: 'There's really no such thing as a bad investment if you're just as nosy as me." But things soon turned around when the TikToker stumbled across brand new clothing items. Lucia found a £37 skirt with its tags still attached. She even landed a "cute Abercrombie and Fitch jacket". As the content creator continued to rummage through, she began to find random items such as a pair of men's shoes, little boys' shorts and an XXL women's dress. Lucia began to grow suspicious and even suggested the possibility of staff pre-opening suitcases and removing valuables before selling them. She said: "Does the company that I bought the case from open up all the suitcases, take out all valuables, jewellery and cash, and then top up the suitcases with other people's bits?". Fans were quick to agree, one user said: "of course they take out the valuables!". The clip racked up thousands of views and comments, with some fans eager to see what else she unearthed. However, others were curious as to why she'd want "other people's stuff". One user commented: "Why would you even buy other people's stuff". Another user said: "Buying someone else's suitcase just don't sit right to me." A third added: "I would be scared to open in my house."

I transformed my council house bathroom for £30 – I ‘absolutely hated' it and now it's my favourite room
ONE woman showed off an impressive DIY project she carried out in her council house. Using just £30 worth of materials, she was able to completely transform bathroom. 2 TikTok user Natasha showed her followers what her bathroom looked like before she got to work Credit: TikTok / @natashalawson20 In her viral video, TikTok user Natasha Lawson (@natashalawson20) showed 1.3 million viewers how she elevated the half bath in her home. On a mission to turn her "council house into a home," the TikToker is carrying out a series of DIY projects throughout the space. This included doing up the guest bathroom on a penny-pinching budget. New floor She spent the bulk of her budget on vinyl to transform the floor, opting for a rustic wooden pattern. "This job has been long coming for a while now because I absolutely hate my bathroom," Natasha told her followers. After ripping up the old vinyl, which was splattered with paint, she got to work. The TikToker carefully cut and laid out the new vinyl flooring, before trimming the edges and applying a sealant to protect it from trapped moisture. "I thought it would look so nice with the green and then obviously the marble as well," Natasha said, adding that it is now her "favourite room in the house". While she was intially hesitant if the vinyl would work as "the main flooring", the mum revealed that it "actually held really well". Finishing touches She also carried out other finishing touches including using the £2 Crowne Matchpot Breath Easy from Wicke's to create neater lines after her paint job. My council flat is so stylish thanks to second-hand finds - plus the treasure chest place you need to look for bargains Natasha also used her steady hand to paint the wooden block "under the toilet". And she applied a layer of gloss to the skirting boards in the bathroom. She also added some decor throughout the space, including a clock on the wall, a candle holder on the window sill, and a wax burner she picked up for just 99p from Aldi. Then Natasha stood back and admired "how much nicer" the room looked. She shared a side by side comparison of the transformation for her audience to see. How to do your council house up on the cheap Take inspiration from pricier shops and head to B&M, Home Bargains for interior decorations. Head to YouTube for easy to follow tutorials on how to decorate rather than paying for professionals. For a quick glow-up for your floors or anywhere with tiles, opt for stick-on vinyl to save on costs. A lick of paint does wonders to make a room feel brand-new. Switch out kitchen cupboard knobs for modern ones instead of buying brand-new cupboards. The bathroom was origingally painted in a "washed out" grey, which she explained was the reason why she hated it. Natasha shared her plans to add a black matte shelf with hanging plants at some point. Her followers shared their thoughts on the transformation in the comments section. "I love it, I'm going to do it now you've done it," wrote one impressed viewer. "Love the bathroom," agreed another follower. "You've done amazing," commented a third person. And the bathroom makeover isn't the only DIY work Natasha has carried out in her home, she used an Ikea mirror trick to give the space a luxury finish. More on council houses And another woman revealed that she is nowhere near finished her council house renovation despite already spending £15,000. One TikToker did up the hallway of her council house using all B&Q buys. Another woman used buys from B&M and Shein to decorate her council house. A 21-year-old mum bagged her dream home after rejecting every council house on offer.

Behind the music - NOFUN!
LA-based band NOFUN! play the Workmans Club, Dublin on 29 August, Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Co Laois on 30 August, and Custom House Square, Belfast on 31 August. We asked them the BIG questions . . . Formed in California in 2022, NOFUN! is a 10-member collective blending live performance, production, and visual art. As both a band and a label, they operate as a DIY powerhouse. "This tour represents everything we've worked for," the band say. "From arenas to basements, we're bringing this show to every type of stage we can - and we're not leaving anything behind." Tell us three things about yourself . . . We are a ten-person collective all from different places but based in Los Angeles. NOFUN!'s birthday is on Halloween. The name was picked because we noticed a lack of support for artists and shows in Los Angeles and most people have "no fun," so it is an homage to the people who show up to have a good time. How would you describe your music? Our music is an amalgamation of each member's musical style- ranging from Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, Punk, and Pop. To put it simply, NOFUN!'s music is an alternative cross pollination of punk rock and hip hop. What are your musical influences? Each other! We are all artists and constantly inspire each other to make the best music we can. We push each other regardless of our genre. Every member creates and releases under their own artist project to be used to check out each member's music. What was the first gig you ever attended? The first show we ever went to as a group was a show we put on in 2021 in a backyard which also happened to be the catalyst that started NOFUN!. What was supposed to be a small show for local Los Angeles artists to support each other quickly turned into a full on festival - with over 300 people piling into our friends east Los Angeles backyard. This partying, music, and community is a perfect example of what it means to be NOFUN! and we held that with us throughout our group's musical journey. What was the first record you ever bought? We all have different answers to the first record we've ever bought but the first song purchase we made as a group was in support of our own and very first song SPEND IT, which was recorded in Garrett Gloom's garage. What is your favourite song right now? Our favourite song right now is 8-Mile as it is a crowd favourite! Favourite lyric of all time? It's pretty obvious when a particular lyric resonates with the group. Usually due to some sort of comedic element. Right now, the lyric that brings us the most joy is from Motha Wata's verse in our song Riot, which goes as follows "I'm just drinking out the bottle till I have to p***" If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pop My S*** by Cloudy Nueve. Where can we find more of your information and music? You can find our music at NOFUN! on every platform as well as socials Instagram: @nofunla and TikTok: nofunworldwide.
