Kylie Jenner Inspired Nails

Hi dolls, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Boxing Day. I am back with a new post, which is something different to what I usually blog about. Its a  step by step guide on how to re-create Kylie Jenner's nails. I love doing my nails and creating designs. Where I live there isn't a nail salon that does any of the cool designs that Kylie gets done. So, I decided to try for myself. I am happy with the results I got. This manicure is simple but looks intricate. It took me a good hour to complete both hands. Have fun with this manicure, even if it doesn't look perfect don't worry about it. 

Let's begin ... 

First things first you will need nail art brushes I got mine from Topshop and the nail polishes ... 

Barry M - Matt White 

Barry M - Matt Black 

Essie - Fierce, no fear 

Essie - Chinchilly 

Models Own - Utopia 

Rimmel London- Green Grass 

Step 1: You want to start off painting all your nails white. Once they are dry use nail art pens in black to create random small lines, then with the silver glitter nail art pen create more small lines. If you don't have nail art pens you can also use the nail art brushes to create small lines. 

Step 2: For the index finger you're going to need a lot of different nail polish colours. Use a nail art brush and create small triangles with all the nail polish colours. Use feirce, no fear, then chinchilly, black, utopia and green grass. 

Step 4: For the middle finger again use a nail art brush and paint on the letters 'Msft'. 

Step 5: For the ring finger just repeat step 2. 

Step 6: To creat the paint drip effect use a dotting tool and then seal your design with a top coat. 

And there you have it a Kylie Jenner inspired manicure done in the comfot of your own home.

Santa Baby

Hey dolls, 

I am back with another post. This one is my favourite. I love Lush products and this one is a Christmas edition. Every Christmas Lush bring out the festive products. This year I thought I am not going to miss out like I did last year. So, this time I made sure I got my hands on the Santa bath bomb and also the snow fairy body wash which smells amazingly delicious just like bubblegum. The Santa bath bomb definately creates a christmassy feel. Once the bath bomb dissolves under the water it turns the water red then it changes completely to green. It definately makes bath time so much more fun. So if your looking for more of a fun bath experience then try lush bath bombs. Don't get me wrong I love my bubble baths but sometimes it's nice to switch it up for a change and why not it's nearly Christmas!!!

A Glamorous Night

Hello my loves, 

I am back with another post. Being ill has given me the time to write. There's only so much movies I can watch. My lovely friend Virginia who is a fashion blogger on www.misenscenelifestylev.blogspot.co.uk 

check her blog out if you haven't already. She invited me to a night out with her but I had no clue where we were going. All she told me was the time and to meet her at Piccidilly Circus. I was so curious to where we were going, it was such an amazing surprise to found out we were going to Bob Bob Ricard. I had such an amazing time. The place is so beautiful, I love the decor it's very grand and the private booths we sat in were great. The food is amazing, just the right amount I had enough space in my tummy for dessert which is always good. The place is totally Instagram worthy! All the booths have the button 'Press for Champagne'. The fun didn't stop there we ventured to the W Hotel for cocktails which were super yummy. You need to try their Candy Floss and After Dinner Cocktail! It was a lovely experience and I am so glad that Virginia shared it with me. It's my turn to surprise Virginia with a secret place. I have found the perfect place that we both will love. I just need to get better and we can go! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you will go and venture out to new places you haven't been to before. 

Lots of love,

Christmas Nails: Rudolph the Reindeer

Hello Dolls, 

I have been so ill and to top it all off I have lost my voice. It's never happened to me before, It's so hard not talking. It's that time of year of being ill. But I'm not letting that ruin the Christmas Spirit. Today's post is a quick tuitorial on how to get a subtle Christmas nails. It's easy you don't need to be an expert to create this design. This is the first time i've actually tempted to try it and I am happy with the end results. 

So let's begin.... 

1. First things first decide what finger you want your Rudolph to be on. I chose to do it on my ring finger. 

2. You want to paint your nail white. You will need two coats of polish. 

3. After it is dry I used Essie 'fierce, no fear' for Rudolph's face. Get the nail polish and paint a half moon shape just 3/4 of the nail.

4. Then using OPI 'brake for manicures' using the nail polish brush create two lines creating antlers. Then create small lines from the line you just painted. 

5. Then using a dotting tool, use the larger point and dip that into the white nail polish to create two eyes. 

6. Once that is dry use the dotting tool again but the smaller point. Dip that into black nail polish to create the pupils of the eyes. 

7. Nearly there, use the larger point of the dotting tool to create Rudolph's red shiny nose. I used Essie's 'bhamma mamma'. 

8. Once your design is dry, add clear polish ontop. If you like you can put glitter polish ontop to give it more of a christmassy feel. 

9. For the rest of your nails it is totally up to you what you want to do. I painted the rest of my nails in OPI 'brake for manicures' because I wanted a subtle christmas manicure but feel free and get creative. 

I hop you like this post, please comment and let me know what you think. If you would like me to do more posts like this let me know :)

Seventeen Gel Nail Polish: Review

Hello my lovelies, I am back with another post. I hope your all having a great day so far. Can you believe it we're in December already. Where does the time go? I am not conplaining I do love Christmas it's so magical and I love the lights. Today I have been drinking Gingerbread Latte and watching Christmas movies to get into the spirit. Today's post is about Seventeen's Gel nail polish that I bought recently I was looking for a nail polish that lasts and doesn't chip so easily. The kind lady who worked at boots recommended the 8 day gel polish from Seventeen. I was curious to see if it lives up to the claim. I bought it in three different colours. I tried the dark blue. It gives the look of a gel manicure, the nail polish is of a thick consistency unlike other nail polishes. I would suggest doing a thin layer unlike me I did thick layers as I applied the nail polish. The finished result it looks good, the nail polish has a shiny look to it. It does last 8 days, it started to chip very little on the fourth day. Which was not bad in comparison to other nail polishes. I only had to touch up the tips a little. I would reccommend this nail polish I was quite impressed. 

Here's a swatch and the names of the colours. They were on a deal 3 for 2. £3.99 each at Boots.

Berry Christmas

Hello Dolls! I hope you are having a lovely Wednesday. As we are saying goodbye to Autumn and saying hello to Winter. During the Winter I love wearing a pop of Berry and Orange colours. It screams Christmas Chic to me. In today's post I want to share with you my top favourites for this season. My first favourite lipstick to wear is the Kate Moss Collection for Rimmel London in 107 and Collection's Lip Liner in Damson. My second favourite is MAC Rihanna Collection 'Viva Glam 3' with MAC lipliner in 'Currant'. 

My favourite and most two worn nail polishes during this time is Essie 'Bahama Mama' and Urban Outfitters 'Red Velvet'. Especially during this time I like to add a bit of glitter to my manicure. This glitter from BarryM has blue and red specs of glitter which compliments both shades of berry colours. Below are the swatches of the nail polishes. 

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post. 

Lots of love,
