52 Weeks of Delicious Nails, 27.5.13 Purple & Butterflies :) x

I am so bummed out that the Sun just hasn't made much of an appearance as of recent :S It's supposed to be really nice weather in Britain now, I mean COME ON! I guess it's still early days though, I mean July & August are proper Summer, yeah? ....hmmm.... D:

Well, this week is half term and I wanted some nails that aren't really summery in case the sun doesn't appear and that also go with my dress for Riri's this coming Friday. And with that criteria this is what I came up with!

My Left Hand

Now, my Right hand I could not get a good picture of, so I decided it was better left out. To describe it to you though, it looks exactly the same only the butterfly on the thumb is white with grey :)
The Purple shade is my latest addition from Sally Hansen's complete Salon manicure range: 470 Purple Pulse & the Butterfly is from a wheel full of them from poundland, I mentioned it before in one of my January posts: http://tinyurl.com/p47vuwv :) Exciting stuff XD


Look out for my post on my Outfit & Makeup designs for Riri's Birthday should be coming around weds/thurs this week :D x

Kelly's Hen Do on Sat, Outfit, Makeup, Nails, THE LOT.

Kelly's Hen Night is this Saturday! (WOOO!) I am a little excited. Her theme is Neon. I kid you not, Neon. Here's my ideas for my makeup & a picture of my outfit (and, it's not on because I don't want to ruin the full effect :P).

 So, This is the Idea/design I came up with :P

Hen Do Neon Design I call it: La Neon.

 And these are all the products I found (that I own) That I thought would be suitable for creating a look along those lines...

Main Items Found for look

(from Left - Right) LOOK's "Flirty Flick" L:iquid Eyeliner (amazing stuff that doesn't budge!!) Model's Own "Luis Lemon" #137 Nail Polish, Barry M "Dazzle Dust" #76, Barry M "Fine Glitter Dust" #10, Lush Cosmetics' Cream Eyeshadow in "Lifted", Illamasqua's "Eurydice" Lipstick, Pop Beauty's "orange" eyeliner pencil, Hello Kitty "Starry Lipgloss" & The False Lashes are (eyelure's) Katy Perry's Self Adhesive "Darling" 's.

 I then also found these! (don't know whyyy I didn't look in my Sleek drawer first!?)



The Pout Polish is "Lemon Meringue" (but is not available anymore and dissapointingly doesn't smell like lemon meringue :P). It's actually not as pigmented as I was hoping! -But I'll mix some of the Barry M Dusts into it and then we'll be talking! ;) .



I also like the look of the eyeshadow slightly hidden behind it "Sand Dollar" from the relatively new Lagoon Palette. Doesn't that pink next to it look gorgeous? I can't wait to sink my teeth into that design ;) (I very often like to pick a square of the palette, act likes that the only quad I own and try and come up with a cool mix-Works a treat when you're in need of inspiration!)




And finally, I completely forgot I own a 168 colour palette! (Thank you Guy! ;) ) Opened it up and found this whole line of GEMS!

And Now, a picture of the outfit...all ready to rock & ruin ;)

My Neon Outfit XD (the pink shoe's my phone btw :P)

 *Just a quick side note: My first EPQ meeting with Bridget went so well! She loved my ideas! XD

52 weeks of delicious nails, WAIT!?......WHA?? 1.5.13

(Sang elegantly) Sun, Sun, Sun, Here it comes! :')
With the glorious sunshine sweeping over the south (and a much, much better self :P) I decided it was time to un-cage the feet! Let them BREATHE and be paste-y white no more! And...who could wear cute diamante-ed sandals (from Primani ;) ) Without painting the toes? :O
I used Model's Own Nail Polish (which is apparently a "Matt Effect"-I had no top coat on :S) in the colour "Pukka Purple" #158.
I love using these nail polishes as they are so pigmented and instantly cover the nail with a good solid colour & finish that lasts well.

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails 27.4.13

Ok, well, I decided to do this after the sun started appearing (sort of) this week...and...now I am not so sure on the colour. It seems to remind me of Heinz' Tomato Soup :/ Bit awks haha! But It's not awful either, its quite a posh Nail Polish so, I am mainly testing the staying power. The Bottom is Ciate for ASOS in the colour "Olivia" with Claire's Nail Polish (unnamed)- it's just a an Orange Glitter Nail Polish, very small pieces of glitter though D:

My Left Hand, and as you can tell, you can't really see the Glitter :(

 First week back to College after Easter Break, I wanted something soft & pretty yet well groomed and smart. I decided that muted pink and silvery glittery pink would be the way forward! XD I used Illamasqua's Jan as the Muted Pink shade (THIS STUFF STAYED ON FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS BTW!) and the Glittery ones are Barry M's Pink Silver Glitter Nail Paint (number 337).

My Right Hand

 Below is My Gran's Nails (just cos' they're pretty!) The colour is gorgeous on her skin and is actually from one of those cheapy sets you get when you buy a makeup case. Probably something like Colour Club(?) It's unnamed and unbranded but worth the picture :')

So, My Birthday was Yesterday! YAY! and now this Friday the band and I (Studio Couch, please like us on facebook!) have a Private party to play and it's dress up and as there's four of us, we're going as The Beatles XD So, we're all wearing Black suits and looking sooo Smart ;) Hence, I painted my nails Black & White to match my Suit :D.The Black is Barry M's number 47 Nail Paint and the White is also Barry M in number 66 :)

My Left Hand (My Right was the same just opposite colours)

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails :') 1.1.13

So, Every week I paint my nails a different design and colour, I don't have as many nail polish's as some people on youtube, neither do I have/use all OPI or Essie or China Glaze ;).
I actually think the majority of my nail polishes are Barry M, Models Own, Illamasqua (all apart from one recieved in the Mystery boxes) and Revlon.
This is what I did for New Year's and I used Barry M's Buzz Edition in Dark Pink and Covered it with Barry M's Pink Sapphire Glitter 352.

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails :') 7.1.13

So for the week after New Year (going back to college and exams...wahhh D:) I decided to go with these gorgeous Purple Nails, long, neat and smart :D. For this I used Leighton Denny's The Heiress.

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails, 14.1.13

First full week back at college and me and Beth were trying to fill our massive Friday afternoon free! And I wanted to try out using these cute lil' butterfly nail decals I got from poundland. I don't know what Nail Varnishes Beth's wearing, but I am wearing Sally Hansen's Dorien Grey. Aren't these Nail Decals cute!? And for a huge little wheel from poundland! Amazing :')

So, I had to stop taking photos of my delicious nails and things as my phone (that was my camera, as it was fantastic) stopped working and broke :( (wahhh D:) now I have a new phone :) But the camera on it is ATROCIOUS. So, I have just started to take pictures with my actual digital camera and have started again :). This is my Easter inspired nails! The Speckled (W7's Salt & Pepper) represents the egg and the yellow (Barry M's New Texture Nails in Station Road 304) represents the chick from it :).
