Nailed it!

Long-time no speak! Here’s a wee peak at my nails today!

nails!!!!

These blue nails where made with my Ciate advent calendar colours! I used number 063, power dressing for the blue base and then number 089, halo on over the top on half the nail. Very nice and glittery! Love it!!

I love this new boots seventeen off the wall graffiti nail effects I put a pink colour under this and it just looks AMAZING!! People commented on this lots and and everyone thought it was some fancy effect but no it’s just one varnish!!

This is the new Barry M number 318, dolly mixture over the top of another advent Ciate. I won’t tell you the name of this base colour as it lasted a day and died! It took 5 coats to cover and was just pants!! The dolly mixture was gold colour and lovely though. It reminds me of feathers?? I got one in black too. Will try that and probably put it on here too!! See you again soon!! x
 

Cath kidston Hand Bag Duo, what i thought!

Hello! Today I am going to review a Cath Kidston star collection hand bag duo! This set has a multi-purpose balm and a lip gloss for £8.00. I was very excited to read about this set in a magazine and then even more excited to hear we were getting them into the shop I work at!

They come in two scents I believe, the one I bought is lime and mint which smell’s heavenly or you can get the star rose & peony which you will love if you liked the rose scented products before.
I love the new packaging with the new toiletry product range as it’s a bit more fun than the range before less grown up in a fun way!!

Anyhow! Let’s crack it open and have a try, first up is the lip gloss. This is very thick and balmy. It also feels very moisturising when you put it on. It’s not too scented and defiantly not sticky! I am not a fan of lip gloss at all but I love this!!! Just reading the back it says it has beeswax in there too! Lush! I would give this a 8/10 mainly because it has no colour what’s so ever and I would like a wee bit of a tint!!


Right now on to the multi-purpose balm. I’m not really sure what this is for!? It says moisturising multi purpose balm with beeswax and shea butter providing instant hydration for very dry skin. Perfect for knees and elbows.
Hummmm I don’t have any very dry skin to try this on!?! Oooh I found a patch on my ankle.  Again it smells so good! It’s not greasy but it does take a lot to get rid of the dryness if that makes sense! This probably won’t put it into my bag until the winter though. So I’ll give this a 5/10 just because you need a lot and I’m not sure what I will use it much?

So to sum it up I think this a lovely set for a gift. I think that the price is good and I will be using the lip balm lots!! Yay!! Speak soon! Xxx

One more for the road!

Well this is what I’m super chuffed about! I saw a bag in a magazine! A bag by my favourite high street designer combo! H by Henry Holland for Debenhams! As soon as I set eyes on the clutch bag I wanted one of my very own! But it was sold out AND last season stock. How it got by me I will never know! So after many fruitless attempts to get my grubby little paws on it I had all but given up WHEN I walked into my local Debenhams. Thought I’d have a wee peak at the bags and THERE IT WAS! It was full price but that wasn’t going to stop me! Ha ha. But then to top it off at the till it had 10% off!!!! So now I’m very proud owner of this beaut!!

 

I think it's bag love!

Playing with nails!

 These to lovelies are my friends Amy and Laurens nails! They wanted something done so I got my Wahh nail’s book out and did these!! The top is candy stripes (Amy) and the bottom is tartan (loz).

Now these!! I went to Superdrug, Always a fail as I just can’t help myself!!  So I bought 3 Rimmel colours and two Mua fur-effects! Below I tried the purple colour which is lush and the fur! I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fur but I will try again. One thing I do say with the fur is that it’s not long lasting so wear it for special occasions and try not to wash your hands too much! Horrid I know!

  But I had a thought about the red Rimmel colour! Red Dorothy glitter nails with bows! Ohhhhh yes please!! But who to try them on?? Amy! An always willing guinea pig!! I was disappointed with the photo of them as the lighting was bad and I didn’t have my good camera with me! But in the flesh I LOVED them and will be putting them on me some time soon!

Haven’t quite got it nailed!

As with any art nail art it doesn’t always go right! As I found out big style when trying to do Little Miss Delicious inspired nails! (find her on facebook her jewellery realy is fab!!) But I did learn from them so it wasn’t hours wasted for nothing!! I will put them one here just for a laugh mainly. The picture of the nail varnish n tools where what I thought I might need. the nail files just look pritty so i thought id share! I didn’t use all the colours but it took a lot!!

 



Happy Valentine one and all!

 Hello! I have had a super first two months of 2013! I have been to see Paloma Faith at Newcastle! She was stunning and put on an amazing show. I’ve had a sneaky valentine’s mini break with the chap to a cabin in the country and done LOTS of vintage shopping!! I also went to see the new movie les miserable with my mother! We always manage to pic the saddest of film. And this was no exception! Nothing like a good weepy!!! And by god it was good!! Anne Hathaway deserves a Oscar for her performance!! She was amazing!!

Above, Paloma Faith doing her thing oh so well.

Below, These are my Valentines nails done in our cabin. My love shack nails! Tee hee!! Get it!!??

There hovering above a copy of vintage life! Best magazine around!!

Now these two beauties are vintages finds! The mouse is from a charity shop from a town near where I live and was 50p! Proper bargain! And my tin was from a vintage shop in Newcastle for £1.50. I can’t remember what its name was but it’s right next to Attica vintage. The shop was a little gem!! I bought a top annnnnd a belt too!! Joy!

stealing nailspiration!!!
