Cheeky Lunch Time Buys

So I have just been on lunch and I must say work has had a slow start to the month, so to brughten up my day I made a quick trip to the nearest Boots store to see what polishes i could find.

Always love a cheeky lunchtime buy! Pictures to follow after I have used them :)

Looks like I have my evening planned! :)

Nail Paint - Barry M - Black Multi Glitter (333)

New York Color - Lights Camera Glitter (105)

New York Color - Sidewalkers (270)

JolieBox

A few months ago i signed up too what i thought was the most amazing thing ever Glossy Box. After reading reviews online it sounds like a monthly present that you would get for yourself with 5 deluxe sample size products from makeup, nails and skin care.

After receiving my glossy box for 5 months i started to realise that what i was getting wasn’t anywhere near as good as it looks and even though i filled out a beauty profile the products i got still weren’t for me.

So i took to cancelling my subscription.

At the thought of not getting another surprise box every month i yet again took to the net to read review after review on all different monthly boxes i ended up going for the JolieBox.

I’m going to keep an eye on the boxes i get to see if they vary quality wise month to month

Junes Box (Birthday Box)

so first off i noticed the wrapping was not as colourful or presented as well as Glossy Box, but really who needs a fancy box that they end up throwing away or keeping under the bed. I was shocked at the sizes of the products as they were a lot better that what i was used to with 1 full size product.

Yon-Ka - Pamplemousse

This facial cream was nicely scented of citrus fruits making it a lot more enjoyable to apply. This everyday lightweight moisturiser left my skin feeling soft and smooth, even under all my make-up. i also felt it gave a little glow to my face and helped to brighten up those dark rings around my eyes!

 

Institut Esthederm - Bronze Repair

So this is the one product i haven be able to use yet with the lack of sun i have seen. its for both me and woman with tolerant skin, who can and wish to safely tan without developing wrinkles. I Myself am scared when it comes to any kind of tan products being that i burn very easy with my fair skin and frecjles. It was a good size for a quick trial. I will let you know my verdict once i have given it ago.

L'OCCITANE's - Angelica Hydration Cream

Made with organic angelica from the Drome of France, this lightweight hydration cream is an absolute must have. not only did it help my skin get back to its normal plump look it also improves skin elasticity and protects from the naturel elements. My skin was definitely more plump, radiant and smooth.

I love my JolieBox - Nail File

You can never have too many of these right! :)

Elysambre - Discovery Product - Lip Linner

I fell in love with this Lip Linner straight away but thats just because I love them. I cant say that this one was any diffrent to any of the others I have bought but none the less i loved the colour - rouge.

Overall I love my first JolieBox, I will use all the products in there at somepoint if I have not already. Also my first gave me a great idea that if i get things I won't use then why not put them all in a box and then at Christams use them as stocking fillers!

Can't wait until my next months box! :)

leopard Mad

So after finding the leopard print so easy i got a little bit carried away.....!

I had already done the normal colours for the leopard print so thought i would trya nd change them a little.

They are not the best i have ever done but they are still good to me! :)

Bit by bit

So after a little while i started trying some copy cat designs.....

After seeing some rose nail art done by Lippy Lucie (http://lippylucie.blogspot.co.uk) i had to try it out for myself..... these have to be my fav so far :)

Hope you like. x

Vodka is not just for drinking.

So after seeing so many mazing nail designs on the internet i stubbled across newspapper nals and i just had to try it for myself. I watched a few tutorials on YouTube before taking to my own nails.

All the things i used:

O.P.I - Clear Top Coat

O.P.I - Bubble Bath Pink

Vodka

A magazine

I decided I didn't just want to do owrds as they would only print backwards and it seems to be the normal thing done. So as I was flicking though my mag I cam across the answers for last weeks cross-word and straight away thought I would use these.

Being the girly girl I am I painted my nails Bubble Bath Pink by O.P.I (easy to apply with amazing results) waited for it to dry and then dipped my nail into the Vodka for a few seconds after pulling my nail out of the Vodka i pushed the magazine cuttings on to my nail. I peeled the paper back slowly left the print for a few seconds to dry and teh quickly brushed over my nail is a clear top coat.

So for my first attempt what do you think?

I love them, tehy were quick and easy, but also gave me that diffrent look i was going for... and on the plus side was the talk at work teh next day! :)

The Start

Where can I start...

I have recently been addicted to searching blog after blog on nail art, nail polish and anything else that catches my eye. Some i have come across have been truly amazing and I have never been given some many tips and ideas before.

It wasn't long until i had to give it ago and start my own..... I know I dont do amazing nail art yet but its my way of keeping track of my progress and showing everyone some of my ideas. While working by 9 till 5 desk job all day every day i guess you can say its my way of adding some colour to my otherwise gull day.

Some people tell me its a hobby thats has got out of hand but im just hoping it makes me change my mani more times than I already do :)
