NOTD | Polka dot & Bows | #SheffieldMeetUp

 

 

 

Hey ladies!

(& gents if you're actually reading this!)

 

Totally dragging out my posts about the #SheffieldMeetUp! But with work taking up most of my time, its been nice to sit here and blog/schedule a nice bunch of posts about what was a fantastic day!

- I promise I will be posting about the day as a whole very soon & include some great photos of the goodies & lush products.

 

It wasn't until 11.30 the night before the meet up that I realised I still had plain natural nails. I bite mine quite a lot (despite numerous attempts at stopping with various lotions & potions) so usually I just slap on a set of falsies. If you've read my blog in the past you might have seen a few of my other NOTD's I have brought lately with Primark false nail sets. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of the sets I've tried and these ones were no different. Although I do think having them on all fingers may have looked a little too much, the bow and polka-dot design is cute as a button!

I teamed them instead with a nice iced ultraviolet pink shade by Sinful Colours. - A brand of which I stumbled across in a shop called Xtras in Leeds (all colours are only £2 too - What a steal!)

Mustache | NOTD



Another Primarni £1 steal!
 

Yep, I've gone all hipster, down with the kids & all that jazz. I have to admit, I actually love these, they are pretty cute and really simple. Although I have been wearing strawberry and bright candy striped nails lately I do like how I can literally pair these with anything.

Primark really are surprising my lately, again these aren't amazing quality but for the money they really are worth it. They bend pretty easy and you will need a stronger glue than the one provided, but so far these have lasted 4 days without any flicking off, which I think it pretty decent.
At the very least if you're looking for something funky for a night out, Primark nail are definitely worth a try.

Juicy strawberry | NOTD

 

Hey sweeties,

 

I'm continuing with my Primark £1 nail hype! The past few weeks I've shown you the Spring Butterfly & Vintage Polka-dot nails & once again I've found some more adorable (and wonderfully tacky) false nail sets.

 

These ones are brilliant. I love red nails & even tried last summer creating the strawberry design myself to no avail. shaky hands don't create nail works of art! So I'm really happy I found these.

At the moment I have only the thumb strawberries on and the rest of my nails are a plain bright red. But of course for the blogs sake I have snapped a picture with full strawberry nails.

I think I prefer the more subtle look however I wore the full set out whilst wearing a white dress and red heels & I must say they looked pretty cool!

NOTD | Galaxy Nails

Hey guys,

Bringing you a little NOTD today!

 

I haven't done an NOTD for what seems like agesss, although I have had my nails every colour under the sun lately! & after watching my lovely flat mate Rach do her nails in galaxy print yesterday I just had to have a go!
 

I wish I had a photo of Rach's nails to show you, hers have got orange tones running through too (of which I did try at first) but because I couldn't find a sponge anywhere!? - I couldn't blend the colours together very well.

 

The polishes I used were;

 MUA - Plum Noir (base)

Rimmel Lasting Finish - Azure (Win this in my giveaway)

Models Own - Show Stopper

 

Okay so basically to recreate this you will need a black or purple base, then using a sponge (or tissue if you can't find a sponge) dab your nails with the blue and blend well. Finally add a blob of fine glitter polish on the nail and blend that over
 (you don't want a tonne of glitter on there though, other wise it'll look a little bit too busy)
 

- Adding a pink tone, orange and even a few little pieces of larger glitter look great too (I will get round to doing a better example soon!! - Promise)

I would definitely recommend doing this with a sponge rather than tissue though.. The blending is a lot easier and the results are generally better. But for my first proper attempt I think this is quite effective!
- Like omg, I have the galaxy in my hands!!

 

Have you tried this before?

I would love to see your galaxy nails if you have, please leave URLs!

NOTD | Metalics & Glitter

Bonjour!

I've been a little slack with posting lately, so now uni has officially finished for Christmas & I have a week of doing nothing before I go back to Scouse-town, I'm going to schedule a hoard of posts.

 

My first Scheduled post is the NOTD from The Clothes Show last weekend. I know, I know, I'm late so It should really be NOLW but meh, technicalities.

 

In prep for the day I decided to buy myself a new outfit (see here) & splurged on myself in Superdrug with a few new nail polishes. I decided on MUA Shattered Ice for The Clothes Show. I love metallic shades on other people but until then hadn't bought any for myself.

- With this I added a thin layer of a glitter No7 polish my Nana bought me for my Birthday this year (however I can't read the name of this polish as the colours make it impossible to read the bottle!!)

 

I'll definitely buy the MUA polish again, but the glitter polish is an absolute nightmare to get off my nails! - I'm finding that with a lot of my glitter polishes though, it takes hours of scrubbing to even get a layer off!

Which is annoying because my favourite colour polishes are all glitter based!

 

Can anyone recommend an easier way of getting rid of glitter polishes?

What do you think of my metallic nails?

 

NOTD | Puzzle thumb

 

 

Hey guys, Apologies again for the lack of posts lately, & the grumble from Friday.. But I needed to get my frustrations out!
 

Anyways I was browsing through a couple of blogs a few days ago and found the gorgeous puzzle nails is trending again. So with a fresh set of false nails on I decided to give it a go.

The results (as seen above) were pretty successful.

I chose muted dark autumn colours- with the exception of the blue.. that one I just liked!

 

It was majorly easy to do I basically painted my nails in blocks of squares & used a bobby pin to shape the puzzle pieces, but if anyone would like a tutorial uploading please just ask & I'll post asap! - I may even do this for my birthday.
 

Oh hay, yeah, its my 22nd on Thursday! - Yippee!
So stay tuned for some birthday wishlists
