Hiiii-dee-ho strangers!

I think I'm a bit behind on the 'cracked nail' craze. Yesterday, I discovered the new Barry M Nail Effects polish and was instantly curious.

Has anyone tried it out? What base colours do you reckon will look best with the matte black? My mum bought me a bottle today while she was out shopping so I'm going to try it out tonight! I'll report back :-D

Take a look here to see the tutorial video.

Also, news I read on Lacquerized... OPI are teaming with Katy Perry... LOVE IT! Can't wait.

Heart Suspender Tights

I've only worn my Henry Holland mock stock tights once and I can't find them ANYWHERE since.
WAAA!
I'm so annoyed with myself, I'm worried that I've thrown them out by accident!

BUT fear not, because I've ordered myself a pair of these bad boys...

HOW CUTTEEEEE are they?! Even better then the HH ones I think.
£10 from ASOS if you're interested ;o)

Lots of Love

p.s. Song of the day - Bruno Mars, Just the way you are.
They lyrics are so beautiful. I've got it on repeat.

Mattefied Gun Grey - Models Own

This is how I had my nails for the Beautiful Kelly & Kit's wedding.

Models Own Gun Grey, with a matte top coat and then my usual stripe and dot artwork in gold and blue. Nothing too fancy, just something easy.
I hope you like.

The images make the polish look kind of like a brown colour (sorry, the lighting was rubbish!!!), but the most true representaion of the colour is below. It's gorgeous.

Mattefied Purple Grey - Models Own

When I returned from holiday I had my three packages waiting for me!! YAAAAAY! The best kind of post...

and I jumped straight on the Models Own box to get hold of my new nail varnish!!

I've had peacock green on my nails for the past week but today I did a fresh mani, and I wanted to show you this look. This is Models Own Purple Grey.

Now, I've been after China Glaze's 'Matte Magic' for aaaageesss, but I never got around to buying it. Then I noticed that TopShop sold a Matte topcoat, so I thought I'd give that a whirl.
After applying the Purple Grey, I added my TopShop Matte topcoat. I've done before and after shots below, because you have to see it's AWESOMENESS! -

I love love looooooovvveeeee the Purple Grey as a matte colour - even though it really shows the imperfections.
The TopShop Matte polish works like a dream! I'd definitley recommend you going out and purchasing some...NOW! It's such a great way to transform a colour.

AND, I've just had an e-mail from E.L.F saying they now do a Matte topcoat. Hmmmmm It's only £1.50 so might be worth trying this one out first!

Today = Payday = Naughty spending!!

Whoopsie!

Today I got paid, and by 3pm I'd already spent:
£28 on Models Own products
(using their 50% discount code 'FACEBOOK50') so getting about £60 worth of products!
£22 on TopShop make up
including their matte top coat nail polish I'm SO excited to try this out!!
£33 on Shoefashionista.com
buying the thigh high boots I've been lusting after for months
and £13 on a new jumpsuit
from a shop called ID in my town!!

Oooh dear... Somebody stop me!



I'm off to lap up some beautiful Tenerife sunshine tomorrow.
Have fabulous bank holiday weekends everyone!

My colourfulness!

I love my left wrist, it's really colourful and pretty!
I've got a lot of permanent bracelets that I've collected from holidays, but recently I also purchased some colourful bracelets to add to the collection.

I painted my nails with OPI's summer flutter 'flit a bit' orange! It's beautiful, and after a few days I added a top coat of Barry M's pink glitter (I can't remember the number - sorry!) and it stayed on for days and days! I was really impressed.

I also wanted to show you my Disney Couture 'Alice In Wonderland' Teacup Ring that the beautiful Charlotte got me for my Birthday. So cute :-) The photo quality isn't brilliant, but it has a spoon and even says 'tea time' on the side of the cup!
