    Flower Power

    You may notice that my post is a little later than normal today. I spent most of my day at the house I am renting this year and shopping for decor to go inside it!
    I was a bit disappointed when I first moved my stuff in as it hadn’t been cleaned properly and had a miserable feel to it, I think because it was empty and really seemed hollow. But now that me and the other girls are filling it with stuff and making it a bit more homely, I think it looks and feels much nicer. 
    I also received some great news last night. I passed the exam I had to resit last month so I get to progress to the next year of my course! Phew! I’m sooo happy now!

    Here are some not so summery nails, but I really like the pastelly palette of this one.

    More Matte

    I’ve finally got these tip stamps down! For ages, whenever I tried, they would end up trailing down my nail and I would get really frustrated.
    I used some little flakies from Viva La Nails. They look pink in the packet but are kind of transparent pink so they just look a bit iridescent on the nail.

    A Matte I Don’t Like (and new BYS’s ♥)

    What do you think of this colour mattified? I’m not a fan myself, even though this is my absolute favourite colour!

    My New BYS’s
    In case you didn’t know, BYS is my favourite brand for Nail Polish. It’s Australian, but a store called QS (I think the name’s changing to Store Twenty One) stocks the range here in the UK.
    I got these two today along with a bottle of Astro Gold for my Mum. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any Tinkerbell, which I really wanted to add to my next giveaway, but I did get a polish to join the giveaway goodies I’m stashing.
    La Di Da is more purple than it looks in the photo, kind of a dusty purple on the nail.
    Fools Paradise is exactly the Turquoise I’ve been looking for. Slightly more green than blue.
