Tangacure

Just a little nail update, as so far ill i've shown you is outfits i hadn't quite got to writing any beauty related posts.

Here are my current nails!

I've had them on for almost a week! and as you can see theyve only slightly chipped which is a miracle as all the polish i have used are £5 and under. Im calling it my Summer Revival "Tangacure"
Which sort of reminds me upon reflection of them Preteen knickers you used to buy from Tammy Girl "Tangas" i think they were called... Anyways...

Heres what i used..

The Green polish was a colour i bought on the whim when shopping in Tescos. its called 'All about Nails' and costs 99P BARGAIN. It Goes on really well, quite thick making it easier to apply evenly and drys fairly quickly i am so impressed i always pick up a new shade when i pass by. The colours are limited but i think they are regularly updated and are quite cute. I used this first over the top of the base coat.

Then used the Barry M black to paint the tips.. i think the black makes them a bit glam-goth and quirky! ive had lots of positive feedback to them. I then used the Andrea Fulerton 'Dot & Flick' brush to neaten the curves on the tips. Ive not been too impressed with some of the Andrea Fulerton nail boutique items  such as the Trio Art Attacks etc i think they are a bit 'gimicky' However the brush and consistency of the polish of the "Dot and Flick' set are bang on so that even beginners will have little trouble jazzing up their talons!

Festival Fever Has Struck!

Hi all! 

The sun has come out again! and so i felt the urge to start planning festival outfits...
Although what would be sensible would be to actually buy a festival ticket first... none the less i have a possible outfit..
The best part of this outfit i that for once nothing is newly bought! it is 100% recycled... which makes me feel so much better!

Every year crochet and fringing storms the summer scenes and I buy one or two bits which i never really wear, as i'm not quite sure what to wear with them, but i'm putting an end to all that and wearing them all together for an all out texture fest!

Crochet shorts are from River Island i bought them about 2 years ago and never really wore them, last week i noticed they were selling them again jogging my memory and making me fish them out.

The WOW piece is of course the understated light green suede fringed waistcoat, bought from a charity shop.

And the only accessory i thinks needed for every festival go-er or wannabe (like moi!) is an ethnic rucksack i bought my leopard and  tan beauty from Primark for about £6.

Ive kept all the colours neutral and but just popped with some bright orange RI flatforms  and matching MAC Morange lips! 

This look for me is all about texture upon texture upon texture. Keep it neutral and accent with one main colour matched with your lips shoes bag ect...

My main tip from this is dont think too much about it. If it feels good, you look good!

Rock That Denim

This is my outfit for today! i have got a few days off and a bit of time for creativity. I am loving my new found casual look which have come about because of my latest shoe purchase. 

River Island 'Hidden Heal' hightops. Being less than 5ft tall i need all the help in the height department. The 2" wedge is dare i say it comfy  and sexes up any outfit! 

Back to basics this is just a printed top and vintage hotpants. But what makes this a little teeny bit quirky is 

1- The shoes

2 - The 90's styled bomber

3- The accessories

I am a true believer of accessorising. And rarely leave the house without one of my Dame Viv scarves. Whether tied around my head, on my bag, around my wrist. Or as seen here on a belt loop.

Why? I have no idea... 

At the moment i have gone back to my chav-tastic gold ways with ear-cuffs, spikes, skulls, hoops and chains. My latest splurge here was the gold chain vest necklace. It loops around the back and under the arms... well i think thats how it goes, but i'm still finding myself getting a little bit tangled up in it... so if i stop blogging that is why!

Just Lost My Blogging V-Plates.

"....Where did you get your shoes from?...How did you do your makeup like that?

     ...How do you get your hair that colour..?Have you tried the new...?"

For a long time i have been asked questions like the above, and more importantly do i have a blog?
Although i am usually one of the first to explore new trends and experiment with new beauty products, it appears that i am quite the laggard (intelligent sounding marketing term!) when it comes to blogging. So here it is i am now too jumping on the bandwagon...


Hooraah!
