Starry Sky Nails

Another nail blog today. I have been very intrigued by these nail wraps that are appearing all over the market and have wondered what there like. Now these are the first I’ve tried and there a cheap version I found in my local supersaver (budget versions can be found in most pound/discount stores). And I think there brilliant. A little fiddly at first but after the first two the really were quite easy to apply, stick on, then trim down and fold the excess over the nail. Now I will say this one thing and that is if your nails are very short I might not recommend. One of my nails is very short at the moment (due to a traigic break hehe) and I did find it a little difficult to cut it to the right shape and you can’t really fold them over short nails. But overall really good, no waiting for them to dry and no constant worrying about them flicking off like you get with fake nails or varnish. Not to mention the detail you can get from a sticker compared with the effort of watching a youtube tutorial and trying to create patterns with a cocktail stick! I went for a starry pattern that reminds me a bit of something Jessie J would wear! So overall I really reccomend these and think I'll try another set, I'll let you know how I get on! 

Peel, stick, cut and go!

Rimmel Pro

Ok a fairly quick review tonight as I’m shattered from a day at the beach and a bit of a rave review at that. I absolutely love my new nail polish! It’s a Rimmel Lycra pro in ultra violet. I found the application process very quick, good brush (always love the Rimmel nail polish brushes there the perfect size and shape) and fairly quick drying, this coming from an extremely impatient person! And as I did my nails the night before a beach trip I thought it would be the perfect test time as it would have to contend with heat, sea and sand, not to mention the shower after a beach trip! And surprisingly it hasn’t chipped at all! I do have a base and top coat on but still has held on brilliantly, I took the picture below after I had put it through the mill a bit so you can see how well it's lasted. Big love for this varnish, think I’ll definitely be out buying some more colours – maybe a coral. . .

Oh ps. you can buy them at boots and there about five pounds :)

OOTD

Outfit of the day! My first one I’m very excited! Now I’m not sure about the picture quality here so do let me know what you think. The weather in England (or my part at least) is completely miserable, it’s drizzly, grey and I can’t wait to get to another country and some sun (little bit of a moan there sorry!). So unfortunately my summer clothes are remaining in my wardrobe but I thought I’d post my outfit anyway. Today I’m wearing my new Asos skirt; it’s a gentle a line style with a gingerbread man print. I then paired it with a plain black spaghetti strap top and to make the look not to childish I guess I wore my leather jacket too (from international). I thought this gave the look a bit more of an edge rather than a pretty look. I then added my high heeled turn down ankle boots from new look about two years ago but I absolutely love them so have kept them quite a while now.

My jewellery is all silver and quite simple; I went for my h necklace which was a birthday present and a silver pearl bracelet. My makeup is a simple smoky eye and a plum lip, and I left my hair natural and kind of wavy. 

Hope you like,
