Aztec nail tutorial

*This is my first tutorial so I hope its ok*
 I love to do my nails and when I found and easy yet effective way to make an aztec print I had to show you. so here it is the first in hopefully many nail tutorials.
I hope you like it but be sure to leave a comment below with ideas of what else I could do.

1. Find some colours 4-5 that will go nicely together. I like to pick groups e.g. neons, Pastels, pinks ect

2.You will also need a nail striper you can pick these up cheaply online (Ebay for example) or use a paint     brush, but you can also watch this video to make one here *This is not my video but it is very good*

3. Paint a white (or light) background colour
4. Paint stripes of Different colours across the nails. You don't have to make them all the same.
5. Use the nail striper to outline the lines.
6. Paint on designs in patters with striper e.g. lines, crosses, dots, even glitter ect... And I personally think they look better when they are different but its up to you.

QOTD: Will you try these nails? Any suggestions for other designs? Which is your favourite theme?

A Disney Costume: The Little Mermaid

So the other day in our school it was book day (I realise world book day was ages ago) but our school is weird. Anyway world book day is a day where everyone in school dresses up as a book character.

It's one of those days that you really see the people that put months worth of work into their costume and the people who chose what they want to wear and then match it to a book.

I have to admit I chose my costume the night before as I knew I wanted to wear normal/comfortable clothes as it was meant to be hot weather. 

What I wore: 
Maxi skirt - Primark 
Purple top - Primark
Hair bow - Claire's accessories
Bracelet - Given to me by a friend
Necklace - Made by me (for the costume)
Blue nail polish - GOSH 'Gypsy Blue'
Glitter top coat - Models own 'Jack Frost'
Accent nail - Barry M 'Amethyst'
My cat tried to help but she wasn't very helpful
 
 
 
Personally I think this was quite good and I do think it looks like Ariel especially with my red hair.

QOTD: So what do you think? Who is your favourite Disney princess? What would you have gone as?

June Favourites

Wow this month has been VERY busy (as you will know if you have been keeping up with the 30 day snap) and that means I've not had too much time for different products but here they are so I hope you enjoy...

  1.  Color club nail polish in Reign in Spain.
I love this colour and it manages to be a pastel coral and a neon coral at the same time (What!!!????)
I love it and will be one of my summer faves,
which is weird because I don't normally go for oranges or pinks let alone coral.

2. Collection 2000 nail care 2in1 strengthener and hardener with calcium
Wow that is a long name. I have had this product for a while and this is my second bottle. 
Recently my nails have been really sad and soft (because I don't really have too much calcium in my life).
I love this and because its clear I can wear it for school *whoo whoo*
It takes a week or so to work but it makes your nails stronger and that's always a bonus.

3. Daisy head band from Primark
This was £1.50 or £2 I forget but its so pretty and subtle for the summer.
If you don't want to wear a full head band of flowers this is a great hand band that is comfy and for such a great price why now get this for the summer. 

4. Yes to carrot leave in conditioner
I have really enjoyed this over the past few months and I do believe it has actually helped my hair be less dry and it looks more happy. And who doesn't want happy hair for the summer. It was also pretty cheap as I bought it when it was on sale from ASOS.

I'm sorry there is only four products this month but I thought I would only add in the one's I have really been enjoying. not just put them in for no reason. hope you enjoyed...speak soon.

QOTD: What have you been enjoying this month? Any product suggestions? Any blogs I should read?

Models own: Jack Frost

So the other day on ASOS.com they had a bit of a sale on some items and included in these things were a few models own nail polishes. Now I'm a big fan of models own but never really want to spend £5 on one nail polish finding them in a sale is very over exciting. 
In the end out of the wonderland collection I went for Jack frost.
This is over a blue polish and the accent nail is Barry M
This is a glitter top coat so it is clear and has shiny white glitter in it that changes different colours
 e.g. blue and pick. this type of glitter excites me ALOT and so this nail polish is great.
It brightens and changes up any nail polish and really make your nails pop.
I love this colour and I think the quality is great. it has a thick formula but doesn't take very long at all to dry (big bonus). So go on and get your hands on this amazing collection. 

QOTD: Do you like this polish? Any suggestions for polishes?
Do you have this if so what are your oppinions?

30 Day Snap: Day 30

Oh my its the very last day and to be honest the whole experience has been harder than I thought. but I hope you liked it and maybe ill do more life posts (but not every day). I found it hard because I don't think my everyday life is very exciting I mean I'm still in school and that takes up a good 5 and half hours.

Anyway today I went to the park there was a mini gathering/music thing and it was a BEAUTIFUL day so why not !!!

Oh well its been a good journey we have come on and i do hope you have enjoyed it.
