    Wowsa, I’m tired tonight! You may be able to tell from the mass of incoherent sentences that I’m surely about to write. I’ve had a headache all day which is probably a sign that I should have gone to bed at a reasonable hour but I was determined to blog tonight.
    I’ve been banging on about these lipsticks that I bought all day! I found some Rimmel lipsticks for £1 and ended up taking home 3 colours, I am in LOVE with the Coral shade and can’t believe I never tried coral sooner. It could look shockingly bad on me (orange hair and orange lips, whaaaaat?!) but I absolutely love it. I did a quick blog post about them here if you want to see the colour I mean.

    Nautical Nails

    I’ve been looking for a nice navy blue polish for months since I caught on to the nautical trend for summer and after finally finding one yesterday, I was inspired to create a nautical nail look. I found this bargain in Asda as part of their George Make Up range for £1 (normally £1.75), the colour is Bloom.
    I used some really old Collection 2000 polishes for the white and light gold, they don’t even have names. The red is Barry M Raspberry and for the Anchor, I used Sally Hansen Chrome in Amber. I’m running perilously low on this so if anyone knows any gold/bronze chromes that I can get my hands on in the UK, please please please let me know because I’m getting desperate!

    20 Candles

    I turned twenty today. It’s kind of momentus but disappointing at the same time. I’m no longer a teenager, I am a fully qualified ‘adult’ which I suppose is okay, but I sure am gonna miss being a teenager and getting away with all the things you can before you reach this age. Only five years ago, I was looking up at twenty-somethings and thinking, ‘Woooooooow, look how old and responsible they are’ but now it’s me and I still feel like a 13 year old inside, but I suppose it’ll always be that way.
    So the nails are a cake and candles!

    I used nail art brushes to freehand the candles and a dotting tool for the flames.

    Nautical But Nice

    I hit the shops with my mum on the weekend and it seems that nautical is in again this summer which I’m very pleased to see. I love all the colours and patterns associated with the sailor style. Nearly everything I purchased was blue and/or white with plenty of stripes, sail boats and anchors to boot.
    I spent this week searching for a perfect navy blue polish at a cheap price but didn’t find much luck. Then I remembered I had this blue in my collection and the lemming totally disappeared. This colour is just the perfect accessory for a nautical outfit.

    Flashy Franken

    I was having a dilemma on Friday night. I couldn’t pick out a single colour from my 150+ collection which I felt like wearing on my nails. At Marina’s amazing suggestion on twitter, I decided to franken myself a new one.
    I had seen this mani by Erika a while ago and knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted something similar, so I decided to aim for a light pink with gold shimmer much like China Glaze Pink-Rox-E and I think what I ended up with is a pretty good match, if I do say so myself. 
    I mixed this shade from BYS Tickle Me Pink, an ancient, very sheer gold from Collection 2000 and a tiny smidge of BYS Metallic Fuschia.

     

    Then to spice it up a little, I freehanded some gold tips with a little black line to emphasise them. I’ve done this a few times recently with different colour combinations, but they normally turn out really messy though so I haven’t been photographing them. I freehanded the tips with Sally Hansen Amber Chrome and used Rimmel Black Satin for the lines applied with one of these little brushes from Born Pretty Store which made all the difference when it came to keeping the lines neat.
