Jan/Feb Haul

So, although I am trying to save my pennies, sometimes, I just can't stop myself. I swear, I think I black out as I'm at the till. If I can't remember, it didn't happen, yeah?? :/

To be fair to myself though, I don't tend to go any more expensive than good ol' Primark or H&M when I'm trying to save.

There are more things that I have bought than what I'm showing on here....but I can't remember what....or where I've put them, and I'm wearing one of the t-shirts.

Just thought seeing as it's Sunday, my posts have been pretty few and far between, boyfriend has gone home and I need to distract myself from going to the kitchen to stuff my face with everything I can't have that contains gluten, that I'd do a little haul post of the things I've bought over January and February!!

Here gooooes...

Boots


Ring from Regal Rose Ebay (Pixie Lott collection)

Primark

Everything5pounds.com

Superdrug


£5 - Monki


£2 - Monki

£12 - New Look

£9.80 - Nike Outlet Store


£5 - Primark

Well, yeah, that's some of it!!

I am obsessed with my little suedette style skull flats!! I stumbled across them on everything5pounds.com and thought, 'for a fiver???!!' so I got two pairs, one in black and one in like a dark green, they are gorgeous and were only £5 each with, I think it was £3 shipping or so? Not bad, not bad.

The primark dress I was so impressed with!! It was only £5 and it's actually a really lovely fitting, flattering dress, its like a t-shirt skater skirt dress but, it's just so lovely on, I couldn't believe it!!

Massive trainer addict. Couldn't say no to £9.80.

Everything else was bought in sales or online.

I wanted the Regal Rose ring so bad before christmas, and then on boxing day I came across it on Ebay for half the price (£9), and when I looked at the seller it was Regal Rose so I've been checking back for bargains!!

I'm gonna go have a rummage through my room now to try find the rest for part. 2! haha.

M.I.A

Sorry for the complete lack of posts lately, I have been SO ill.

Had Norovirus followed straight on by a kidney infection, then got better then I started getting serious pains after I ate and it was making me physically sick. Was horrible. Turns out I have a gluten intolerance....who knew eh?!

Ah well, all that is behind me now and I'm trying to get on with being Gluten Free, it's not been that bad so far, I mean I'm only a few days in but it hasn't bothered me at all. To be honest, it's inspired me to start cooking and baking again. Going to attempt to make my own birthday cake next month!.... I'll let you know how that one goes!

I've also been busy with college, hair is taking over my life. When I'm at home, I'm doing my mum and sisters hair and in college I'm either playing with dolls or blow drying peoples hair. BUT I passed my two exams and got a distinction in my first practical assessment so I'm pretty pleased with that. Well, I did say I was going to get my head down and get this done, and done properly and well.

I'm pretty lucky though, all of my class get along, there's no little cliques or anything, maybe because we're all a little older. We all get on so well and everyone's really nice and we all went out for drinks after we did our exams, I think there was about 15 of us or so....was a little rowdy!!

Well, yeah, just thought I would share a little post to say why I've been M.I.A, unfortunately it wasn't for any glamorous reason like I had been whisked away somewhere tropical and warm! haha!!

Going to get back to writing and scheduling some posts now for when I'm back at college so I dont lag so much :/

want.want.want.

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!

Blue Moon.

So this is a super messy DIY half moon style nail post!

Started doing it and my mum decides we're going out...I thought I'd post it anyhow - to cover the basics! :)

First of all, pick your colours!

I went for a holographic base from 17, and Blue My Mind by OPI.



I put on a clear base coat because my nails are prone to staining!

Then I painted on two coats of the 17 polish and let it dry.



After that I got one of my new nail tools ( I normally use toothpicks...but thought I may aswell put my tools to some use!) and dotted on a semi circle shape with the blue.



Than I just painted my nails with two coats of the blue and there you have it!




A quick and simple half moon nail!

Sorry this post has been super quick!!

Gotta go!
