Peter Pan Collar Nails


These are the nails I wore to #ldnluch yesturday. They looked awesome for about the first 30 minutes that they were painted, then I decided to smudge them and make them into a mess! But regardless of the mess I love them! I always struggle to find inspiration for nails these days, I've tried pretty much everything and hate wearing the same nails twice and everything I would love to do is way too complicated and you need proper professional nail art tools to do stuff! These were pretty simple to do and turned out quite well I think! 

#ldnlunch was freaking awesome! I loved meeting the people behind the blogs and chatting/laughing etc! Didn't get to speak to everyone though which was a bit of a shame.. but I'm sure we'll all have the chance in future meet-ups :) 

We took over the bar, it was a room full of ladies drinking lovely cocktails.. I had a Singapore sling which was delicious! There were 3 men there watching football who were wondering what we were all up to... they came to the hilarious conclusion that we were either on a hen party or lesbian speed dating! haha how funny! 

Had a fabulous day anyways and can't wait to meet you all again :)

Classic leopard


Taken with my new Canon 600D haha! Love how clear it is, well at the same time I hate it coz now you can all see how bad my skin is around my fingers... dry skin galore lol! I cannot stop biting my nails lately either!

The other day I was stuck for what to do with my nails, and then I realised that I haven't had the classic leopard mani in months so obviously that's what I did. All colours used are Models Own: snow white, sterling silver, 18 carat gold and bronze rage! Black nail art pen is off Ebay! 

I've just bought the Topshop nail art pens in black and white and I'm so exited to try them out properly, I think more intricate designs will be attempted as its literally like using a felt pen! I'll show you what I come up with when I try them :) 

This week has been so draining so far.. uni is back up and running and after having nearly 2 months off makes it all the more harder to get back into the swing of things.. I seriously cannot wait to graduate and get this shit over and done with!

Random black and white



I decided to paint each nail with a different pattern... I think my favourite is the very simple polka dot one.. just simple but effective.. I smudged a few of them prior to taking the picture.. for example the stripy one! But cannot be arsed to re-do! Oh and please to ignore the bottom pic pointing finger, it was not meant to look like this haha! 

White nail polish is a MASSIVE pain in the arse! No matter what brand I try it becomes really gloopy, so I try the 'mix nail varnish remover with the polish' trick and it does work but the white become too runny then, even if I use just a little bit.. I use white polish a lot, so really need a good one? Any recommendations? I currently use Models Own and have tried Barry M and a crappy Claires accessories one and they were all fine at first! I'm guessing I'm gonna have to splash out a bit! 

Funny story.. Yesterday I ordered a £699 Canon 600D BY ACCIDENT!!! haha.. I was just adding it to the basket on Very.com and seeing how much it would be to pay monthly and how much with 10% discount code etc.. then clicked continue and BAM 'Order accepted' I was like SHITFUCKDAMN!! haha but then after the shock wore off I actually got exited.. I was planning to pay using their store credit, so would be paying a bill every month! I was thinking how wonderful (maybe) my pictures would be etc.. and I was actually planning on buying one anyway so thought Ah well.. least I actually made the big plunge without having to think about it... so I logged out of Very, got on with my day etc come home and logged back on and to my utter disappointment my credit was rejected :( Now technically I should be relieved but I was sooo gutted, like I said after the shock I got all exited and stuff. So today I couldn't get over the fact that I wasn't actually getting the Canon 600d.. so I ORDERED IT ANYWAY haha! But this time I bought it on Jessops and have actually ordered it (I hope).. end of funny story.

So maybe next week I'm hoping to blog with a brand new shiny camera :) (my pics will still probably be shit haha)

Red, White and Black aztec

These are my current nails... I seen a picture somewhere on tumblr of red and black aztec nails and loved the colour combo.. so this is my take on it...


Sorry about the fairly shoddy picture, My hands look bloody stinking lol! I haven't cleaned up around the nail properly yet, and managed to get black and white nail varnish everywhere... I'm not normally this sloppy haha!! Also I have so much top coat on that my nails are unbelievably shiny, so it was mega hard to get a fairly decent picture without the shine showing up.. I'm not much of a photographer! 

I do love these nails though, they're so striking in real life! Took me bloody ages though coz I kept changing my mind on the design.. re-did my pointing finger about four times! My favourite nail is my ring finger... I bloody love it! 

In other news... Uni is back up and running, I'm not there too much (only like 3 hours a week) but I'm bloody knackered.. I've had like 5 months off so just gotta get myself back into a routine.. 

I'm decorating my bedroom (well haven't started yet) and hoping when it's done I'm gonna do a room tour and show you my new decor... would anyone actually be interested in something like that?

Hopefully the next time I post it will be about an outfit.. I'm starting to slack again! Have a fun weekend guys :)
