Simple & Easy Valentines NOTD ♥

Hiiiiiii :3

My nails are in terrible condition at the moment due to the cold weather, but they looked so bare without any colour :( so thought i'd do something bright and Valentine's-y!

I know they're not perfect... I used a paint brush heehee :]

Such a small picture - sorry!

Have you got any Valentine's Day nail ideas?

NAIL ACCESSORIES/TOOLS

Cuticle pens (Body shop & Superdrug own), nail clippers, bobby pin, cotton buds.

e.l.f and Tesco cuticle sticks.

Cheap Primark bobby pins used as dotting tools.

e.l.f and Body shop toe seperators.

That's it so far. Obviously I have removers and cotton pads, but they're not exactly interesting. 

I'm not sure which are my favourites, as it depends what mood i'm in although I am loving the Max Factor polish at the moment. It chips really badly but it dries really quickly and the colour is amazing so i'll be getting more of those after Christmas. They do have a deal in Boots at the moment, if you spend over £15 and get a free gift :] was tempting but I have Christmas dinner to pay for yet... maybe after?

What's your favourite brand and/or nail colour? Any tips on the tools you use?

Merry Christmas xxxx

Snowman nails

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post tonight about SNOWMAN NAILS!

They're not the best but I fancied something different and wanted to get into the festive spirit. This was inspired by Cutepolish. Let me know what you think :]

Blue 'snow' dots and a snowman.

The nose was super tricky!

One snowman really is better than the other - haha.

Nose isn't perfect up close *at all* but you get the general idea (sorry about the icky finger..got a sore dry bit at the moment :( but this was the better of the two)!

I know I don't have the best hands/nails ever but I thought i'd give it a go.

The polish I used:

Basecoat: Barry M basecoat - Clear

Base colour: elf - White

Snowman eyes/mouth: elf - Black

Snowman nose: Barry M - Peach Melba

Snow dots: Avon - Vintage Blue

Glitter on snow dots: Andrea Fulerton's 'Petrol in Water' glitter coat

Topcoat: Barry M topcoat - Clear

Hope you all enjoyed :] i'll be trying something different every week on the run up to Christmas!

e.l.f super haul :]

Hi everyone!

Sorry it's been so long since i've written here. I did have every intention of doing a birthday haul but it's now 20 days later and I still haven't written one plus I think it's unfair to include some bits and not others so perhaps it is best that I don't show you? Not sure, but either way I had a lovely day.


In the past week, e.l.f have had two 40% off vouchers! One was via email as i'm signed up to their newsletter and the other was because they reached 250,000 likes on Facebook! Although e.l.f is super cheap anyway, this voucher pretty much meant I could have the majority of bits for 90p instead of £1.50 - how pleased was I?

So.. I went a little over the top. I bought some bits with the first voucher then decided to go crazy as it was nearly pay day with my other voucher! I'm not going to ramble too much because i'm just going to get on with the pictures.

Sorry for the quality of the pictures - it's dark and the lights in my lounge are awful! Enjoy :]

Coy & Innocence

Cream Eyeliner & Brush in Black. BEST eyeliner :]

High Definition Face Powder. Not used yet but heard it's amazing.

Lengthining and Defining Mascara.

In Sexy Silver and Cream Deam!

Under Eye Concealer & Highlights - i've been using this as a primer :]

Wet Gloss & Brow Clear Mascara.

Just some swatches!!

Just some nail bits and bobs I was needing to restock.

Black and Mint Cream

White, Coral and Dark Navy

Cranberry and Twinkle

Eyelash curlers and tweezers - can never have enough!

As well as some brushes and other nail polishes :] I think I did really well. These were all bought with the 40% off voucher and each box (because i ordered twice) was about £20ish

Has anyone else tried any of these bits out?
