Rainbow Cheetah Nails!

I painted my nails this rainbow cheetah pattern a while ago but I thought I would still share it, as I love the way it came out :)

I like how bright and unique they look. A guy at the train station actually asked me if I'd painted my nails like the candy crush game haha.

For the colours I used:

-white: OPI alpine snow
-black: just a regular black nail art pen
-yellow: OPI fiercly fiona
-blue: OPI can't find my czcheckbook
-darker blue: OPI ogre the top blue
-lilac: OPI you're such a budapest
-darker purple: OPI pamplona purple
-pink OPI strawberry margarita

I painted my nails white for the base, then dotted all the colours listed above in a random order. I then took my black nail art pen (can't remember the brand) and drew C shapes around the coloured dots, not being too particular if it looked perfect. Lastly if there was any bare white sections, I added a few black dots here and there to finish off the look. I didn't use a top coat this time because I find even after a night of drying, the top coat still smears the black colour.

♥ Spring Wish List ♥

 

Blouse - Internationale | Necklace - Internationale | Barry M Nailpaint - Peach Melba | Nars Lipgloss - Turkish Delight | Dress - Missguided | Wedges - New Look | OPI - You're Such a Budapest

This is my spring wish list for 2013. I'm starting to really like pastel colours which is strange for me as I'm such a black clothes type of person. Since making this wish list I have actually purchased the pink blouse and necklace so maybe it will be featured in a haul or something. Looking at my wish list makes me really excited for spring and summer, especially when I don't get that excitement from looking out at the snow! 

I really like the OPI Euro Centrale collection and hope to get a few polishes including 'you're such a budapest'

What's on your spring wish list?

✭ Review ✭ Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It

                                Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It 125ml


For Christmas I received the Soap and Glory face scrub and I was instantly excited to try it as I love Soap and Glory products.

When you squeeze a small amount of the product out it's a blue-green colour and smells minty and refreshing. The instructions say to concentrate most of the product on your t-zone area and then spread the remaining scrub on the rest of your face.

Once or twice a week, I like to leave it on for a few minutes longer than usual for it to act as a face mask.

After rinsing the scrub off, my skin feels smooth and rejuvenated. For those of you who didn't know, I have very dry skin especially this time of year and I can get a bit flaky around my nose and forehead area.  This scrub helps with this problem a lot. Although I wouldn't say it gets completely rid of the flakes, I feel a lot more confident after using it and it reduces them dramatically.

I reckon this product will last me a long time because three months later, I'm not even halfway through the tube. I will always adore Soap and Glory and can't wait to try more products of theirs.

What's your favourite Soap and Glory product?

Cute Phone Accessory

As you may or may not know, I am a huge bunny fan! Give me anything with rabbits on it and I'll instantly love it!

I recently saw all these cute 'dust plugs' to protect the hole where you put your ear phones into your phone. I thought this was a practical and cool idea so I bought one from a seller on ebay and of course it had to be a bunny one. Click here for a link to the seller I used. It came beautifully packaged and shipping was fast!

It's a bit bigger than I thought but I still love it. My only complaint would be that the actual bunny is a bit heavy for the plastic rod and I'm worried it'll snap. It was less than a fiver though so I'm not too bothered.



You can get these dust plugs in all shapes and sizes, including a starbucks cup!

Nails of the Week: 23/1/13

Hi guys! so as promised, here is the first post in the series: Nails of the Week :)

My nails are OPI Die Another Day. It's a shimmery red colour with a hint of orange. It's very pigmented for a shimmery colour as I usually find with opi, they are more sheer. I could get away with one coat if I wanted but in the picture I used two. 

(with flash)

I've had this colour on for around a week and it's only just starting to chip at the tips which is amazing as there was no top coat on it. The wearability is pretty decent.

Thanks for reading and I hope you will enjoy my nails of the week series :)

Candy Striped Nails

Hi everyone! Today I found some pictures of my nails that I did for Christmas. It gave me an idea to do a Nails of the Week series on my blog because I switch my nail polish colours so often. 

For Christmas I painted my nails with OPI Big Apple Red.

 Big Apple Red is a bright blue toned red. It has no shimmer but is extremely glossy. 

 I decided to try some nail art and attempted a candy stripe on all my nails except my ring fingers. 

This is the nail art pen I used. It came in a set with lots of colours. This nail art pen has a thin tip but also unscrews like a normal nail polish and has a striper brush. 

I definitely need more practice with my nail art but it was fun and my first time using a striper brush. :)

Tomorrow I will start the series with the nail polish I'm wearing right now. It's one of the James Bond nail polishes and I'm loving it!! 

New Year

Happy (belated) New Year everyone!! :) I'm excited to see what 2013 has in store.

I've said it before but this is seriously a new start for my blog. I'm going to pay much more attention to my youtube channel as well as it's something I really enjoy but have neglected due to being ill (thyroid issues). I also got a new camera for my christmas which made me happy as the one I had before was technically my parents and I dropped it while trying to film a shoe collection video.. oops! We've been meaning to go into Glasgow to get it repaired but have never got around to it. Anyway I was really excited about the new camera because I was going to buy one myself and didn't expect it when I opened it on Christmas day. It's a fujifilm one from qvc but it doesn't seem to be great quality for the price and all the reviews are saying it's not that good so my mum is going to return it and we're splitting the price for a canon 650d/rebel t4i. This means I have no excuses not to film with such a fancy camera!

I hope everyone had a good time during the holidays. Here is a few pictures of my christmas & new years eve.
