WAGES = NO MONEY!

Hello lovely ladies! 

So today me and the beautiful Megan spent the day in Exeter central. We had/ well at least i had a great day shopping and picking up a few bits and bobs before I'm back at work tomorrow. In total I picked up 7 items with a lot of faffing around from the both off us plus one YUMMY Starbucks carmel coffee frappuccino. Within the seven items I purchased the closet dupe to the Naked 1 I have ever seen! Yes! Closer than the heaven and earth palette. And that would be the Undressed palette by MUA and the quality is awesome! Every single shadow in the palette has a dupe. I picked up a MUA lipstick in Nectar as well, please note they have taken there audiences opinions into consideration and named the products, I love them. I have to admit there was one disappointing thing in the day and that was being declined entry into a 15 at the cinema even though I am 15! All because I didn't take a passport of any sort of id! I mean who carries id at 15!! Certainly not me! Agh that made me so angry at the time. Anyways I wondered into to Topshop hopelessly knowing I wouldn't be able to stop myself although I was pleased to say I came out with two very reasonable items, both being ones I cannot purchase in my local store. And that was a velvet finish lipstick in Mischief for £8 and a Glitter polish in Ice crush which I applied a minute ago and I must say I love them both fewww! Whilst knowing me and Megan aren't really huge fans of Primark with still took a quick browse around and nothing really caught our eyes until on the way out when I saw the Zara safari jacket dupe just sitting on the rail waiting to be put away, so I grabbed it whilst it was still there and I am so pleased I did. As there was only five available especially as it was a bargain price for a coat at £25. Complete bargain compared to what there selling at on eBay. OH YEAH! One other reasonable purchase was an Accessorize swimsuit which is suitable yet still girly for swimming in so I can mend my legs, so for £14 in the sale I wasn't really going to complain. I must say the sizing is very odd so I spent a fair bit of time trying on the swimwear in Accessorize eventually settling for the last one i tried on, typical :P Sorry Megan! 

I'm going to love you and leave you know as I need my rest for work tomorrow. 

Bye!

Enjoy the rest of the week xx

Glitter Bug

Hello, 

          HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

Christmas and new year have both past and now we all have to settle back down again into normal routines. These pictures were taken on Christmas day, i just haven't managed to find time to post about them. I absolutely love the glitter i put on my 4th/3rd finger, depending on whether you class a thumb as a finger :L It suited the occasion perfectly. However because it was pure glitter therefore it did catch on clothing quite a bit, it didn't come off though :) I'm not sure whether the mink colour was very Christmasy or not but it was subtle  and i liked it :)  Anyway this was just a quick post to wish you all a very Happy New Year :) The nail colour i used was Looks nail pop in mink :) 

Hope you all had a wonderful new years eve and a great start to the new year :)

Fair Dinkum Pinkum

Hello :)

Please excuse the condition and length of my nails at the moment, working in a butchers really does not help look after them :L Well the weathers very crisp outside and I actually quite like it, the early dark nights and dark mornings, going outside to see the lake with the reflection of the bright sun, and the crispy leafs. Its a nice cold though not a bad. I love the idea of wrapping up warm and drinking a mug of hot chocolate in my bed. The perfect time to take pictures. Why not make the most of what we have? At the moment I love pale, subtle nail colours recently which is perfect for school and fair dinkum pinkum O.P.I nail lacquer has to be my favourite of them. Probably because it has a few white flecks in but very muted so very wearable :) I can't capture them though. O.P.I nail polishes are a little out of my price range though being slightly more expensive than the normal drug store ones. Its quite a thin nail polish needing a minimum or 3 coats and 4 if your nails are in bad condition, but I always like to apply 3 coats, so one more coat doesn't bother me. I LOVE IT <3
Any colours that your particularly loving at the moment?

Galaxy Nail :)

Hello,
this weekend I've got many blog posts coming up as i feel very much like writing today. :) Don't get many of them days he he. I was looking through many nail blog posts and i came a cross what shes calls intergalactic nails, so please look at her post to here. Everybody's is very different depending on what colours and tools you use.

A slightly Bigger version :)

Above are the 8!! Nail polishes i used

The main nail polish i used on my ring finger was Autograph Nail Polish in Midnight Magic. I used this as it is a deep purple which i though would be great for a base colour.

Other nail polishes

L-R Barry M 134, Autograph Midnight Magic, Maybelline Flash Cosmic, Maybelline Base Transparent, Topshop Nails Delusion, Barry M 295, Barry M 305 and Rimmel Cranberry zest.

Okay so your supposed to use a dark base colour and use a make up sponge to add the other colours, however i don't have any sponges at the minute so i turned to the good old cotton buds. Cotton buds i know would not have  worked as well and it didn't, but that makes it unique right?

How i made this look?

1. I applied my base colour - Autograph Midnight Magic. 

2. Pick the first polish you want to use and with the nail brush i put some on to the cotton bud, not too much though and lightly dabbed it onto the nail. (Make sure the polish is dry)

3. I then repeated with the 5 other colours not including the flash cosmic and base transparent.

4. I then applied the Flash Cosmic (glitter) to make a starry effect.

5. Then i applied my clear top coat to keep it there for longer :)

6. I then matched the main colour on the ring finger to the rest of my fingers in my case Barry M 295.

Hope you had a good week :)
