Pink Glitter Gradient

Hey everyone! I'm still on holiday so this is another scheduled post but hopefully you're enjoying them! Today I have some nail art using Peach for the Stars from the recent Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing collection. It's been ages since I posted a glitter gradient and they're so simple to create that I thought it was about time. It's nice and summery so it fits with the fact I'm on holiday!

Tutorial Tuesday: Starfish Nail Art for Barry M

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted a 'tutorial tuesday' post so I thought it was about time. Hopefully whilst you're reading this I'm sunning myself by the pool, or eating lots of all inclusive food. I can't wait! I've never been on an all inclusive holiday before so hopefully I'm enjoying it. Today's tutorial is for these cute starfish nails, they're much simpler than I'd usually go for but I ended up really liking them. The steps will be after the jump.

Pineapples for Avon

Hey everyone! When you're reading this I'll hopefully be thousands of feet in the air on my way to Cyprus. Hopefully not scared out of my wits like I usually am but it's probably likely. Today's nail art is some cute pineapples I created for Avon. I wanted to mix them up and not do a full set of entire pineapples so I added an accent nail of smaller pineapples. I loved wearing these, they got a lot of attention but they were also super cute and fun, so hopefully you like them too!

Pastel Tribal Nail Art for Divine Caroline

Hey everyone! I seem to almost be sorted for my holiday now, I just need to pack (yes, I've left it until the last minute!), do my nails and schedule some blog posts. Fingers crossed I can get it all done tomorrow. Today's blogpost is one I've been really excited to show you because it took me forever to do. I always get so carried away with tribal/aztec nail art, I just can't make it simple. So once again I put a lot of detail into these aztec nails that I created for Divine Caroline. If you're interested in knowing how I created these I also did a tutorial here. 

What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Nailbox - June: Review + Nail Art

Hey everyone! Today I have another Nailbox review for you. I showed you May's Nailbox here, and this is June's box. Each month subscribers are sent 5 nail products, usually 4 nail polishes and a nail tool. All products are from high end brands and you definitely get your money's worth. When I opened this month's box I was in shock because there was a full sized bottle of Seche Vite, and we all know how expensive it is! I really do believe that you get brilliant value for money with these boxes and if you like a surprise it's definitely worth signing up. You can do so here. If you want to just sign up for a one-off box it's £15, which is a great deal. And it's slightly cheaper if you sign up on a monthly pre-pay basis.  I decided to once again create some nail art with the polishes I received as I thought they worked really well together. 

May Monthly Favourites

Hey everyone! I'm a little bit late with uploading these favourites but I just haven't had a chance to sit down and write the post. I'm going to try and post as much as I can in the next few days because I'm really falling behind with posts. I was expecting to have loads of free time once exams were over but I still seem to be busy non-stop with all the stuff I put off until after exams! I've had quite an exciting week, I'm was in London yesterday to do some filming with Snog Frozen Yogurt, which you'll hear more about soon. Then I'm going on holiday this weekend! I really can't wait. I also got featured in my local newspaper last week. If you're interesting in reading the piece you can see it here.

So this month's favourites (or last month's technically) are a combination of beauty and nails. It was really hard to pick just 5 things, but the items I chose were:

OPI - On Pinks and Needles*

Gelish - Escar-go to France*

Seventeen - Define and Contour Kit*

Crabtree and Evelyn - Avocado Hand Cream*

Burts Bees - Lip Crayon in the shade 'Niagra Overlook'*

Saran Wrap for Avon

Hey everyone! I've finally had my last exam, it feels so nice to be free. I was looking forward to getting loads done once I finished on Wednesday but I wasn't feeling great and I moved out of my flat and it's ended up with one of the worst colds I've ever had because I exhausted myself. I called in sick to work for the first time in my life today. I normally feel too guilty and end up just going in, but I really couldn't face it. Hence, the silence for a few days. Anyway, today's nails are just some simple saran wrap nails I created for Avon. I'll detail how I did them below with some quick tutorial steps.
