August round up

Very small round up this month, not a lot has happened other than my holiday. Been earning the pennies!

Watermelon nails. Cream tea. New garden furniture. Jake on a homemade zip wire. Holiday nails. Double chocolate gateaux. Burgers at The Diner. Dirty Dancing future cinema. Date night in Southend.

I have a few things planned already for September so hopefully the next round up will have more pictures and be slightly more interesting for those of you who like these posts!

Have a good weekend guys :)

Studs and neons

It is literally so hot today, 25° and still going up, being fair skinned and a natural red head... I feel like I'm melting! However, I thought I'd use the nice weather to try my new top out. I picked it up for a fiver in the oh my love sale and I adore the colour of it. It will definitely get lots of wear whilst the suns around.

Skirt: Primark

Top: Oh my love

Ring: Ever ours

 

I'm back full swing into my nail art obsession, today I'm sporting an ombré/dip-dye effect using my neon models own nail varnishes.

Annoyingly, this picture of my hair isn't great, I'd already had it up for a few hours before taking these pictures so there are lots of fly-aways but I adore this updo. I think it's so summery and chic and it keeps the hair off my neck which is a bonus in this weather.

Children in need

Hey guys!

I have another nail art post for you guys :) red and yellow, spots and paws. Don't forget to apply your base coat before you get started!

Misguided in the colour 'misslead', Barry M in 'Dark silver' and Orly in 'Ruby'

Paint your nails alternately in red and yellow. Make sure they are completely dry before starting the next stage.

Use the dotting tool on your red nails to create yellow spots, have as many spots as you like.

Use the small brush in the dark silver to create small bear paws on the yellow nails. Be as detailed or as simple as you like, I went for generic simple paw prints.




Quick post for you guys today, I will be doing Christmas wishlists and Christmas ideas soon. Keep your eyes peeled for these.

Halloween part 2 (part 1 of 2)

Happy halloween!

I was going to do 2 parts but then I decided my nails needed sprucing up and so I thought I'd add a quick how to on my 'webs and ghouls.'

Base coat: Collection 2000

Top coat: Leighton Denny

MUA in white and Ciaté paint pot in dark purple (I was originally going to use my black Barry M but it had gone gloopy so had to chuck it.)

Dotting tool and thin brush

I won't show you photos of the stages because this is just a quick how to whilst I wait for my cakes to cool!

Don't forget to use the base coat first. Then, paint your nails alternately in white and purple/black. Once completely dry, use the thin brush to create the start of the webs on your purple nails.

Use the thin brush again to complete your webs. Use the dotting tool to create the ghost faces.

Once dry, cover in a clear top coat. Webs and ghouls=complete.

Pictures #3

Hey guys! 
So technically this picture post is 2 weeks worth, the time has gone to quickly!
Not much to say about this week really, all the interesting stuff for this month is still to come :)

1. My first ever visit to Wahaca, and the only thing I had was Churros. I don't regret a thing. 2. Picnic at Shorne country park with a friend from work! 3. Are you starting to see a pattern of food? 4. I NEED THIS PICTURE.

1. Continuing the food trend, BUT there is some fruit, so it's healthy right? 2. I am so much better at scramble than Jake, and this was a bad score for me! 3. Monopoly winner, need I say more? 4. Out with work, guess what, we went to a rollerdisco. So much fun.

1. Dave must have been so tired that he couldn't even lift his right ear, cute or what! 2. My little brother got Jim with a water pistol :(. 3. Chocolate fudge popping candy cupcakes. B-E-A-utiful. 4. Pirate cove minigolf.

1. My friend Liz finally turned 18. So...Before Maidstone. 2. The cake I made :). 3. After Maidstone...(Fortunately this picture isn't as bad as it could have been. I sobered up a bit before this photo as I had to look after a sicky friend. GROSS I know) And finally 4. We're back to food. Dominoes for lunch with Lauren.

1. First ever attempt at cheesecake. Note to self, use the right size tin. 2. Smartie nails that didn't last too long. Why do I insist on peeling off my nail varnish when I'm bored :(. 3. Just 2 short weeks after Liz turned 18, Danie turned 19. 4. I think Buttons likes my new bed sheets.

What have you guys been up to? I feel like I should start taking less pictures of food?
