OOTD!

You have to have at least one silly photo right?

Hi there! So, today my outfit and hair today I absolutely loved! I had quite big and backcombed hair and I am not going to lie when I say I felt like a secret agent in my outfit. It was very simple but so comfy and just what I needed for the busy day at college that I had. So I had on a black vest top, black skinny jeans, black socks, black shoes and a leather type jacket on. The vest top and jeans were from New Look. The shoes were from TopShop and the leather type jacket was from New Look as well. The leather look jacket I got ages ago from New Look and rediscovered it when I was looking for some black shorts a couple of days ago. As it is getting warmer I didn't need a coat today because it was quite warm even with a little bit of wind. I hope you enjoyed this post! I am hoping to do more posts like this, comment down below if you would like that and I will see you soon! xx

Nails Monday #4!

Hi there! So its Monday which means a Nails Monday yay! So this week I have used lots of different colour nail polishes and a base coat and top coat. This is because this week I am going to a dinner for my brothers birthday, so I decided to paint on little balloons on each nail with different colours for each nail. I used a Rimmel Base Coat and Top Coat and then for each colour I used a Barry M nail polish and then the outline I used a Nails Inc. nail polish. So now I guess I will tell you how I did this.

 

So first, I painted my nails with just white colour after applying the boat coat. I used the Barry M Matt White, 66. I love Barry M as I have said in the past. It stays on very well and doesn't chip easily either. If you have read my other nail Mondays you will see how much I use the Barry M nails polishes and as you can see from the picture I have 5 of them.

 

Then I used my nail tool with I used the brush end for and painted on a circle and then a little triangle as well. For this certain nail I used the Barry M (surprise, surprise) in the colour Blue Grape in 402. For my other nails I used Barry M in the colours Mango in 329, Blood Orange in 347, B in 329 and then a No7 in the colour Blackberry in 60.

 

Then I used a Nails Inc. in the colour New York Noir. I then outlined the circle and triangle and then did a squiggly line as the balloon string. So I used the brush end again. If you don't have a nail tool, I would highly recommend getting one. You can do so many nail art designs with one, although it does need practice to master/use correctly.

 

After I had done my thumb nail I went on to do my other nails. After that had been done and dried, I painted on a top coat which is a Rimmel one again. I loved doing this nail art design and for me it was so simple. I loved using all the different colours on my nails because just looking at them I love. So if you are ever stuck with choosing a nail polish brand I would recommend Barry M if you can't afford buying Essie or Nails Inc. or OPI. It is a great alternative from the high end products that not everyone can afford all the time.

 

So I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post as much as I enjoyed doing my nails. Do you have a favourite nail polish brand? Do you use any of the colours I used today? Do you like this nail art? Do you have any nail art you want me to try?

Nails Monday #3!

Hi there! It is Monday so you all know what that means! It's Nails Monday Week Number 3! So today I had to get up at 8 just to return a camera to college on the day that I have off. I went and had some breakfast at Costa. (If you know me that is no surprise at all!) I came home eat half a Lemon Meringue Pie and then slept and started on my nails. The nails I have decided on this week is something that I got from the book The Hunger Games. If you haven't read the Hunger Games I would definitely recommend it but it is a flame design on my nails. I have used the OPI Natural Base Coat, Barry M in the colour 347 in Blood Orange, Barry M in the colour 329 in Mango, Barry M in the colour 329 in B and Nails Inc. in New York Noir. To do this design I have used a Nail Tool.

 

 

 

To start of with I used my Nail Tool to do the red part of the flames. I used the brush end. I started off by doing the outline of the flames. Don't worry if it doesn't look quite right because you can just go back over it with the Black in the next step.

 

 

After I did the red flame part I used the Black Nail Polish to fill in the top part of my nail. I went in between the red flames, corrected any mistakes I made and made it look half presentable seeing as I am not as good at this. I cleaned the brush part of my Nail Tool and used that again.

 

 

After doing this I used the brush part of the Nail Tool again. I dabbed orange and yellow at the bottom of my nail to make it look more like a flame design. I did 2 layers of the Orange and then 1 layer of Yellow and the another layer of Orange on top, so it is all blended in. While each layer of each different colour is partly wet dab on the other colour and then wait til it is partly wet again and do it again. So then it should look like this.

 

 

What do you think about my Nail Art this week? Do you like it? Do you use any of the products I use this week? What do you think about the products if you have used them?

Nails Monday #1!

Hi there! So it's a Monday night and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, filled with fun. I am off on Mondays if you don't already know and I decided instead of painting them one colour I decided to paint little eyes on them and if I say so myself, I think I did a damn good job! So here are all the products that I used and I will tell you how I did it.

 

 

So first I used the Bourjois Paris Nail Polish Remover to remove the nail polish on that had chipped and I had been wearing for over a week. So after all of that was taken off I decided to paint on a base coat of the OPI Natural Base Coat. Now I know that OPI is quite expensive, so if you want to recreate this nail art any clear nail polish will do, as will any cotton wool and nail polish remover will as well. After I had applied a base coat I applied two coats of a black Nails Inc. nail polish. This nail polish is called New York Noir. I'm not sure if this was a limited edition nail polish or not but I got this in a company magazine back in October/November I can't remember which.

 

 

So after I had applied two coats of that black nail polish I picked up the Barry M white nail polish. The nail polish that I am using is 66 Matt White. Now Barry M nail polish is amazing. It is long lasting and hardly ever chips. I used my nail tool to paint on two ovals as for the whites of the eyes. I did 2 coats for that as well so you don't see the black underneath.

So after I used the brush part for the whites of the eyes, I used the other end of the nail tool to dot on the pupil of the eye. To dot on the pupil I used the same black I used for the main coat of the nail. Nails Inc. nail polish is amazing and hardly ever chips either. I love it so much and I love wearing it on its own or with nail art on top as well.

So after the whole of the eyes are painted on I used the base coat I used as another top coat as well. As I said before any clear nail polish will do as a base coat and top coat. This is so easy to recreate and you can get the nail art tool from an Avon catalogue for £3, which is really cheap compared to nail art brushes in a set which cost a lot. I hope you have liked seeing what I have done to my nails for this week.

Have you done any nail art on your nails? Is there any brand of any colour that you love either on its own or with another colour? Do you like what I did with my nails this week? Feel free to comment down below.
