Spring Nails
Yesterday I was super stressed out with an assignment that I had to do for Univerversity.
So I told myself that as a reward I could do my nails. =D
This worked as I managed to finish my work by 5pm!! I was so imressed, so I got out my nail varnishes and started working on my nails.
This is how they turned out.
The lilac gems were one of the packages that I was waiting for last week, and this is the first time that i've used my gem wheel.
I got them from amazon, they are the perfect size, originally I thought they were very small, but I soon realised that they were perfect.
I used
Barry M - Matt White
Barry M- Lilac
Barry M- Strawberry
Aundrea fulerton - Pink nail art pen
Lilac gems
It really didn't take me very long, and I absolutely love looking at my nails with this mani on, esspecially when im doing assignment after assignment.
Lots of Love

Dressing For The Snow
This weekend has been a bit of a crazy one. But the best thing I have to say was the SNOW!!
I love the snow, but only when I am warm inside and I have a hot chocolate in my hands, I do go and play in it but I like to be able to get all snuggely and warm as soon as I want to.
This weekend I ventured out with my friends to go to the cinema and Nandos, so not only did I want to look nice, but I had to dress warm too.
This is the outfit that I ended up choosing. Please excuse the mess, my Uni room is far too small for my liking =]
Dress- Select £12
Jumper- New Look (mens) £19.99
Shoe boots- New Look (9-15) £19.99
Necklace- New Look £5.99
I wore my big coat, scarf and gloves in order to make sure I was toastie and warm. My legs were quite cold but apart from that I hardly felt the cold.

Last Weeks Hair Purchases
Last week I finally decided to buy a curling wand, I have wanted one for AGES but i couldn't find one that I wanted, and for a price that I was willing to pay.
I prefer thick wavey curls rather than tight ringlets, i was originally looking into the Tony and Guy jumbo wand, which is £20 in superdrug, boots, and i think they are in argos too. I had the Tony and Guy wand in my hand ready to buy them, when my flatmate lucie grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the sale section in boots, where she pointed out a Lee Stafford set for just £15. I quickly changed my mind to the Lee stafford wand, not only was it cheaper, it was PINK!! The box also contained lots of extra's, including; a comb, 4 clips, a heatproof travel bag, and 3 pink stay put rollers. So it was definitly worth the money.
This kit is called 'My Wavy Baby Hair Kit' Full price £30.
I loved the curles it made as they were nice and chunky, just how i like them. The only thing that im having to get used to is that there is no clip to keep your hair secure on the wand, so you have to hold the tip of your hair to keep it from moving.
I also jumped onto the bandwaggon and got myself a tangle teezer. The main reson that i never bought one until now was the pretty steep price tag just for a little brush. I got mine from Boots for £10.99
You can't really tell by the picture but it's purple and got little bits of silver glitter in it.
THIS IS THE BEST BRUSH EVER!! I do not regret spending that much money at all!! I normally hate brushing my hair as it snapped into my old brush and it hurt to brush my hair, but now I find it hard to put this brush down. It dosnt hurt at all, and my hair dosnt break off anymore. It's also shaped to fit in the palm of your hand.
I cannot express how much I love this brush, I only wish that the pink one was not as bright a pink (as its a neon pink) because I do prefer the colour pink to purple.
If you don't yet have a tangle teezer I fully recommend you to get one, you will not buy a regular brush again, I know I won't.
Lots of Love

1st Delivery Arrived =]
Hey Everyone !!
So one of my packages did end up coming today, and it was my nail striping tape. My goodness it is so fiddely to use. I did end up using it to do some lovely nail art, however my right hand ended up going wrong so i chenged my nails, then i decided against them too, so i have ended up with galaxy nails, which i adore.
Here is my nail art with the striping tape, I know its not that dareing, but I wanted to get the hang of using the tape before doing anything super complex.
My second attempt at doing my nails did look nice, but I decided to take it off because it wasnt as good as I wanted it to be as I didnt think the colours looked blended enough.
Finally my nails ended up staying like this...
I have also shown how i did it, normally I would also add a bit of bright pink to it after the grey but for some reason I missed it out.
So yeh, there you have it. my first nail blog. hope you liked it!!
Lots of Love
