Barry M Magnetic Multi Sparkle.

Hmmm....I'm not actually a big fan of the whole magnetic nails thing. I don't know why but I just never really loved it.

BUT my sister got me this particular one for christmas because I had told her I liked the colour one time when we were shopping.

I really do LOVE the colour, its a silvery/grey/concretey/cementy sparkly kinda colour.

I decided to give it a go today and even try the magnetic lid thingy....and I actually quite liked the effect, much to my surprise!!

I only did it on two nails and I tried to get vertical lines on my middle finger ... but alas! I couldn't get it to happen!

So, this is how it went!!

             

I would definitely recommend it! I think it would look awesome over a black or dark base too!!

That is just two coats over a clear base coat.

I think I'll play around with this a little more and see what other kinds of patterns I can get!

Glittery Sky Nails!!

I just called them 'glittery sky nails' because they remind me of a scene/background we used to use for our nativity plays in primary school!!

This is my first attempt at a glitter kind of fade look. Mainly because I have no patience waiting for my nails to dry and because as much as I love glitter, I'm so lazy and just pick it off because it's so much effort to take off properly!

I decided I wanted one like a night sky so I opted for:

Barry M Silver Foil Effect - Hara Pixie - China Glaze Nova - OPI Russian Navy

First I painted my nails with Nail Envy by OPI - definitely worth the money!! - then I did two coats of Russian Navy.

Then I used the Barry M to paint a thin line along the very tip of my nails with barely any polish on the brush and then blurred the line a little , I didn't want it too visible but it was either that or use 50 coats of glitter to get my desired effect and as I said, I'm super impatient!

After that I kind of made a thick and lumpy line of the silver Hara glitter by holding the brush vertically and scraping it onto my nails ( if that makes sense?) and then flattened it out a little with the brush and dragged some of it towards the middle of my nail.

Then when that was dry, I did a reeeeally thin layer of the China Glaze over the whole of each nail because I love that it is super sparkly and it really catches the light!!

Hope you like them!! :)

Bit's n' Bob's

Not much to report really.

Yesterday I had an assessment at college but had lost my letter telling me what time it was at.... oops.... so I got there at 9am to ask what time it was, I knew it wasn’t that early, but I ended up sitting there until 10:30am after asking about five people if they could tell me, they just kept telling me to wait in reception, now I’m pretty laid back but my patience was seriously wearing thin, so I walked downstairs to the salon (where I’m not even supposed to be anywhere near until next week) and asked one of the office staff there, who literally typed my name into her computer and in about 5 seconds told me it wasn’t until 1pm!! I could have screamed...or hugged her for finally telling me!!

So I decided there was no point going all the way home and back again so I decided to take a stroll around the shops, mainly Topshop, because it’s huge and kills at least half an hour to look around, Primark and New Look. I’m obsessed with all three places at the minute. Picked up a clutch in Topshop which was £38, but walked into Primark and they had practically the same one for £6, needless to say I’m going to go for the Primark option, and I’m going to get it in nude/pink too! Both for a fraction of the Topshop one. Was just about to spend stupid amounts because I had picked up loads of silly little bits that I don’t need, when my mum rang me and asked if I wanted to go for lunch. So, that we did!! Which was good! I was pretty nervous about my assessment but my mum gave me a few words of encouragement, which really helped!

I don’t know why I was so nervous, it was ridiculously easy!

Anyway, today my sister and I went into town for a mooch and I ran into Primark and bought a couple of bits. Got some socks, a ring, a nail polish set, some watermelon fake nails and tissues – yes, I know, impulse buy because they had leopard packaging.

I can’t wait to try the nails!! They’re so cute and colourful! The nail polishes are cute too! There’s a metallic silver, gold and rose kind of colour with a shimmer in it and a glitter one, the glitter particles are tiny so it’s really pretty and sparkly!! Can’t complain for £2!!

Sorry pics aren't great! Still need to get a camera! until then my phone will have to do!! :)

Got that stuff and 5 pairs of socks for less than a tenner!! Not bad, not bad.....

What A girl Wants

Just been having a nosey online and found some things to add to my current wishlist, which is probably already the length of my arm!!

I intend to get my hands on them ASAP! I can’t wait to go on holiday, but this trying not to spend business is super hard work, and I’m not sure how long it will be until I crack!!

1.                                                                                                    Topshop Petite Matte Wetlook Leggings £18

3.                                                                                                                       Topshop Mighty Ankle Boots £45

4.                                                                                                              MAC Discotheque Nail Polish - £10

5.                                                                                                                               MUA Pro-Brow Kit - £3.50

7.                                                                                                                              Knuckle Duster Mug £10??

Ok, so I found the matte leggings I’ve been after! YAY! Also came across this pretty cute grey floral tee too!

I am so undecided on ankle boots, I love them but I can never decide between plain or studded??? For £45 from Topshop I think these are alright, and could probably get a studded pair from primark for ... I think they’re £18?? So, best of both worlds really.

Obsessed with this MAC nail polish, saw Rachel Zoe post it on instagram and it looks amazing on.

MUA is clearly a great high street, affordable make up brand and I am in LOVE with them at the minute!! I love that their items are so cheap but the quality is great! I have quite a few nail polishes, lipsticks and eyeshadows, and have recently bought their Extreme Volume Mascara, which is actually really, really good! I mean, I pile on lashings of mascara no matter what I use but I didn’t even bother putting lashes on when I used this! I’ll do a proper review on MUA when I go on another haul...with a tenner, yes, a make up haul with a tenner! Great isn’t it?! Anyways, back to the Pro-Brow Kit, I can not wait to try this!! I’ve been meaning to get a brow kit for a while, but I’ve been quite lazy and haven’t really bothered looking, so when I saw this for £3.50 I was so excited!!  I’ll let you know how it goes...

I’m thinking of decorating my room, its currently ‘Vintage Rose’ but I’m thinking white, just a plain crisp white. So I’ve been looking for little bits n’ bobs for my room and came across the moustache cushion in Urban Outfitters and I love it! I don’t know why, but I am loving the whole moustache thing at the moment....wish I could grow my own .... no, I don’t love it that much! But I WANT thsat cushion.

And finally, the knuckle duster mug, I have been dying for one of these for aaages, it was on my Christmas and birthday lists, but alas! Santa and my mum both forgot it! It’s ok though, I’ll get my own, I can’t decide between the black and white but I’m leaning towards the white, because, I know this is weird but ever since I saw Aria in Pretty Little Liars holding a mug with her nails painted super dark I thought they looked amazing, so I’m leaning towards white to show off my nails, odd, yes?

I think they’re around a tenner on eBay! I think they’re so cool!

Right, gonna go run a bath and dream of more pretty things to add to my list!!
