The Perfect Summer Nails

Sprinkle of Pink

I love pink on my nails and adding sparkles can give your nails the extra "pzazz" they need. I like to keep some subtly to my nails which is why  I use a sprinkle of glitter to my nails.

I think pink is the perfect summer colour and this look is really cute and fun and is perfect for holiday use.

Using Barry-M's #317 "Dragon" as my pretty pink base, I then coated my nails with #349 "Rose Quartz" also by Barry-M. These two polishes give a really girly, sparkly finish and look great when they sparkle in the sunlight.

For a new look I used "electric avenue" from nails inc. on the tips of my nails. This gives a french manicure a different twist that looks summery and fabulous.

*Tip: be sure to apply a base coat before starting and a top coat before you use a different polish

The Perfect Summer Nails

So I figured just blogging about mascara was beginning to become tedious for you all to read so to take a break from it I thought I'd share with you some fun summer nails. Day or night you can rock these simple looks, even if you're in the miscellaneous weather of England or a far away tropical paradise.
As I have quite a few a decided to have the same approach to this as the mascaras, i.e.. lots a different posts.
Enjoy!

The Jessie J Twist

To all the Jessie J fans out there this one's for you. For those of you who don't watch BBC1's, The Voice, Jessie J rocked  luminous green nails for about 6 episodes. I'm a big fan of bright, luminous colours on my nails, but I'll admit I've never gone as wild as green but upon attempting the look, I discovered I quite like it.

To spice the look up I added a silver sparkly nail polish onto the tips of my nails which makes them perfect for nights out.
I used an unfortunately nameless Barry-M colour from the new limited edition and "electric avenue" from nails inc.
For those who want to replicate Jessie J's nails you will need pointed nails.

*Tip: when applying bright colours, apply a thick layer of white before to make the colour pop!

Excuse the cut on my finger

I would probably wear this to a festival or concert as it is bright, looks great in photos and has a summer/rocky vibe to it.

Spring Picks

Hey everyone, keeping to my word I thought I'd try to do a few blogs this week to make up for how many I haven't done this year.

Spring is finally here and although the weather is still miscellaneous I have started to dress for spring because I am so tired of winter.

Here are my spring picks so far:

KABBALAH - Carvela Kurt Geiger £100

I think these wedges are perfect for summer they look great with dresses and shorts. Now of course with shoes you have to wear them in, so this spring I will be wearing these all the time ready for summer.

MARTLEY TEE - Jack Wills £59.50

For a smart/casual look match this with a pair of disco pants and either heels or flats dependant on the occasion. 

I always wear a vest underneath as it's rather see-through.

Dweeb Crop - Topshop £10 

This is great for mooching around. I wear this for staying in, making little trips to the high street and even working out. I normally wear a vest underneath, however in summer I may risk showing off my stomach... if (in the unlikely case) it's tanned and toned.

 

Zara

Even though it's spring and everyone's looking forward to summer, it's still England and we have to expect it to be cold. This sweater from Zara is perfect. I love it because you can dress it up with a skirt and dress it down with jeans/leggings and still keep warm.

Barry M - mint green colour

 

Barry M - Blueberry 














Nails Inc - purple/taupe colour

Rimmel - taupe colour

 

Barry M - Berry

I love pastels on my nails during springtime, the colours remind me of flowers blooming and how beautiful new growth is, which for me is what spring is all about. 

All of these should be available in your local drugstore such as, Boots or Superdrug.

 Amethyst Shell #424










This colour is great for a brighter than everyday look, I usually wear it when going out in the evening and when I'm wearing white or black.

Innocent - Topshop

I love the makeup from Topshop. This light pink is perfect for the day and looks so pretty with dresses which will be perfect for this spring and summer.

Tea Rose #3 - GOSH

This is a really pretty pink lipgloss that looks lovely by itself but also on top of Innocent. I love wearing this with whites.

My tune for this spring is:

On My Way by Charlie Brown

I love this song because it makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. Sounds weird but I think it is great for this time of the year to get us all ready (well for me to get slim) for summer.
