Halloween Nails

Double, double, toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Double, double, toil and trouble;

Something wicked this way comes!

 

 

Tomorrow or today or yesterday (depending on when and where you are reading this) is the day of All Hallows. Yay it's Halloween, and I thought hey let's do something to celebrate this spooky day by tell ghost stories. Muhahahahahaaaaa. Only joking :)

 

I never really do much on this holiday (can you call it a holiday?), it's just out here in Spain people don't really celebrate it like they do in England or in America. Ahh to be at a Halloween party in the US...it's gotta be fun.

 

Anyhow I'm obsessed with painting my nails, and I've seen so many tutorials on nail art. Today I was doing absolutely nothing, until an idea stuck me like a bolt of lightning. Why not do some crazy Halloween nail art? :D

 

So I went on Facebook and decided to do try and recreate this design.

 

 



 

It looked simple enough and easy to do....boy was I wrong. For me it wasn't as easy as it looked. You see my painting skills aren't the best and I'm not the best when it comes to patience. Anyway after about an hour of my tongue sticking out in concentration, this was the result.

 

Yes I know...they look awful, and that was just one hand. I'm not even going to show you what the other one looks like.  

On an all, I really enjoyed doing this nails, even if they did take ages and look hideous. I personally like the step by step picture tutorial, they so much easier than instructions.

 

If you liked the nail design then make sure you check out the link bellow, tell me what you think of my attempt (please don't be too harsh).

 

Hope you all have a happy and safe a Halloween. 

See ya later xx

Life Update

Hello lovelies!

God it's been years since I last posted....actually it's probably only been about a month, but that's still a long time. Well...how are you all? (this is beginning to sound like a letter lol)

Anyways, my apologise for not posting in a while. I have been extremely busy. That's one of the worst and most used excuses to have ever been invented, but I have genuinely been busy. So I thought I'd give you a tiny update on my life :

As some of you know, I decided to take a long distance journalism course, well I applied a few weeks back and have now received my books and materials. I've been studying for my trainee reporting and have just started my first unit of coursework. And trust me there's an awful lot of coursework that has to be done, as well as reading tons of books. I'm excited to have started, some of the subjects look tough but at the same time interesting. I have two years to complete my course before I sit the exams....so I've got plenty of time to work and study.

I've also started working as a translator, which gives me some money and helps other people out who can't understand Spanish. It's not a steady job, but hopefully I can soon say that I have a part time job somewhere. Fingers crossed. As well as translating I help my mum out in our shop (have I mentioned that my parents own a shop? well they do...they own an internet café) I spent most of my Fridays helping out and serving costumers. The down side is that I don't get paid, but never mind.

I think that's about it. I'm really going to try and post more as I've got loads of ideas...maybe I can do a weekly post on a Friday, as I'm working in the shop. Have to wait a see.

Tatarrr my lovelies....make sure you leave a comment.

My new books :)

Kiko Vinyl Lips. Liquid Lipstick

Hello my lovelies!

I would like to talk to you all about....lipsticks. There's something about lipsticks or lip-glosses that I absolutely love. I think it's because they're the beauty product that completes your look whenever your applying make up. It's always the concealer and base first, then the powder for contours or blush goes on, then the eye shadow, the liner, mascara and finally there's the lips.

As I might of said before, lipsticks and lip-glosses are my all time favourite beauty product, and over the years my collection has grown and grown. I always make sure that there is something on my lips, even if its Vaseline. With that said, let's get started with this beauty review.

A few months ago I went out and splashed some cash on a whole new make up range at Kiko for my graduation. Anyway, I spent a little too much, as when the bill was rung up I nearly fell over, but I kept telling myself this was an investment and for an important event. :)

In my bag of goodies, I had purchased the Vinyl Lips liquid lipstick in Ardent Cherry. Now let me just say that I was a little reluctant at buying it as none of my lipsticks are such vibrant colours of red. But we must all try out new experiences.

I feel like I'm rambling a bit, so I will get to the point of this review, as I'm sure you're all dying to hear my opinion haha.

I absolutely LOVE this lipstick because it's easy to apply and gives your lips that "wow" factor. It's also long lasting - even if it doesn't say so on the tube - which was brilliant for me as I didn't have to keep going to the bathroom to apply more. I also found the price (€6.90) was quite reasonable.

The other thing I love about this lipstick is that you can apply the colour how it is, or if you feel that its a little to bold then you can tone it down. Just apply some Vaseline to your lips, then using a lip brush take a small amount of lip-gloss from the wand and blend into your lips.



For me Vaseline is essential :)

 Here are some photos to show you the finishing touches:

By adding a tiny bit it will give a slight tint to your lips,
giving them a natural and healthy look

Excuse the lack of make up.

Hope you all liked this post, comment to tell me which look you prefer. x

UGG Boots : Love or Loathe?

I have two words for you.... Ugg Boots. If you don't know what Uggs are, then you've probably been living under a rock all your life. Only joking :), but seriously can we please take some time out to appreciate the beautiful creation of Ugg.

I'll admit that when they first came into fashion, my initial thoughts were "what on earth are these things? Surely the can't be classed as boots" I mean they're so chunky and make your feet look like they belong to an ogre. They were a pair of boots that weren't going to have a space in my wardrobe.

But they were a trend setter, and after hearing comments like "they're so snuggly", I went off to my nearest shopping centre to purchase a pair. I was reluctant to buy them at first, but after trying them on, I understood exactly why everyone was raving about these boots.

My pair aren't from UGG Australia as being on a budget didn't allow me to, but that doesn't mean that they're not as comfy.

I can't wait for the winter weather to hit, so I can finally start wearing them again. They may have gone out of fashion now, but they won't stop me wearing them.
Amazing to think that before I couldn't bear Uggs, and now they take pride of place in my winter wardrobe. ;)
