Cheeky trip home

Now, firstly, I apologise for this poorly laid-out post. I have absolutely no idea how to blog using only the iPhone app as this is my first time. Secondly I apologise for the lack of posts lately. I took a spontaneous trip back home to visit my family and best friend and have no computer!


On Sunday, myself and my brother and dad went to watch our Rugby team, London Irish, play. Disappointing results but I won't bore you all with rugby talk.

I am visiting until Thursday however I am reluctant to leave, I get super homesick when back in London. But I am so glad I've been spending quality time with my mum, even if we have just been cleaning the house.





I also let my best friend do my Halloween nails, and considering this was the first time she's ever attempted nail art, I think she didn't do a too shabby job!!

I'll be back to post normally on Thursday and also put up my giveaway! (Hopefully.. Anyone else meant to have been paid a week ago and still have an empty bank account?! :'()

Raspberry Reasons

Now we've broken into the wonderful season that is Autumn, I think it's time to whack out the burgundy! Well, this nail shade is actually 'Raspberry', but just dark-reddy shades in general are a must!

I am a MASSIVE lover of Barry M nail paints as they come in such wonderful colours, the only thing about them is they take a while to dry, but when they do they look fab!

The Nail Enamel with shimmery bits in I've coated the Barry M colour with was actually picked up for me by my nan, at a little boot fair or somewhere, as nan's do. Which is a pain really, as I love it and now do not know where I can repurchase! Luckily, she got it for me in both a pinky shade AND a silver, win!

I can't believe that'd I've gained so many followers already, it's incredible! As you all know, I was planning a 100 follower giveaway, which I still am, as soon as I get paid :)

I get paid any day in the next few days, and when I do, it's straight to the shops to pick up some lovely buys that all of you beautiful bloggers deserve!

Multi-Pastel Bobble

I would being lying if I said I wasn't nervous, as this is my first official 'outfit post'. Although, it isn't so much an outfit post as a 'hat and nails post'. This is purely for the fact that, being cameraless, these are taken on an iPad, and using timer is an issue. 

Firstly, I'd like to start with a 'how awesome is this hat?!' I found it in a charity shop a few days ago for £1.50!! Bargain! I love the multicoloured pastel wool used and the huge bobble on the top. It reminds me of that 'special wool' we used to be allowed to use occasionally for crafts in Primary school.

The lipstick I am wearing in a hot-pink shade in unlabelled packaging. I picked it up at a Car-boot sale a few weeks ago (It was completely sealed, don't worry!) I liked the colour, and still do, however it does feel a bit 'wet' on my lips and comes off quite quickly.

I painted my nails using Barry M 'pink silver glitter - 337' and Models Own 'Ibiza Mix - Hk04' on the thumbs. You have to use several layers of the Ibiza mix if you're not layering it on top of another colour, which I haven't done properly here as I was running out of time whilst doing them. Whoops.

And lastly, the polo shirt I am wearing, am practically LIVE in nowadays!! I was going through super old clothes my Mum had from years and years ago that she wanted to put in a car-boot sale and found it, needless to say, I nabbed this one up before it went in!

Thank you to all of my new followers since my last post, it means so much to me and I'm so glad I'm getting into blogging!

No raindrops, just Roses

Barry M - Aqua Green - 285

I'm fairly new at this 'nail art' thing. I see all of these amazing and creative designs online and wish more than anything I could do such things! But, that doesn't mean I can't try! 

These are my attempts at Roses, using 2 shades of green Barry M's and 2 pink standard nail-art pens.

Took a slight while, and also far to long to dry, as they got ruined within a few hours, but they were nice while they lasted.

Lesson is, I may have to invest in a better top-coat varnish.

On another note, I have an extremely bad throat infection which has inflamed all of the glands down my body causing me quite a bit of pain. On the bright-side, my boyfriend's taking me to see 'Ted' tonight and I couldn't be more excited!
