Like glitter's raining on me...

Rimmel: I ♥ Lasting Finish in 500 Disco Ball - £2.99 Superdrug

Usually I am a self confessed glitter hater! if its on clothes I will not wear it! (However I am partial to the odd tacky glittery shoe!)
However, Glitter nail polish I LOVE! This Rimmel colour (500 Disco Ball) was exactly what I needed to update my winter nail shades into spring worthy nails, it just manages to make things happier!
its not an opaque glitter, but I still do not think it needs a base colour, its looks really cute on its own.

I'm slightly afraid that it makes my nails look equivalent to that of a 7 year old girls, but I dont care! Wearing it out clubbing tonight and I'm already a bit overexcited by how cool it'll look when the lights hit it. Need a Life!

I'm still here.

I apologise for the lack of posting lately, but I have been trying to make the most of the amazing weather, spending time with my friends before going back to Ireland for three weeks, Getting things in order because it is the last week of the semester, and having Birthday celebrations!
Well, there are only 24 hours in a day after all. 

So as compensation for my absence I Will give you another week in Pictures post, Beacuse I am too nice like that! except, it isnt a week, more like two or three, But I'm sure you dont mind!

Summery Nails

Continuing on from yesterdays summery themed post I painted my Nails Summery Colours. Couldnt decide on a pattern or nail art, so settled on alternating colours.

Nails in BarryM Bright Pink and Mushroom.

Elegant Touch Pre-glued false nails. Review

False Nails in O'natural x-short. Elegant Touch available at boots and Superdrug.

I don't wear false nails very often, because I like my nails painted as I've said before, but last weekend I went home, and I was going out with friends and had forgotten to bring home any nail varnish, so went out and bought false nails.

These were a completely accidental purchase, as I thought I was picking up the unglued ones, but I am so very glad I made that mistake.
These nails are amazing. when I originally saw that they were pre-glued when I got them home I was debating whether or not to try them or to just try and return but I'm so glad I gave them a chance. The Major difference for me is how the glue on these doesn't damage your nails.
the glue on them doesn't dry hard like regular nail glue, allowing for slight movement, which also means that if you bang them a few times they don't fall off as easily, which is good as I am majorly clumsy!

To put this is in Perspective I first put them on Saturday night, and I didn't remove them until Thursday evening, and that was only so that I could have Green Nails for St. Patrick's Day!

one downside: if one or two do fall off, you cant stick them back on temporarily like you can other false nails, as the glue starts to lose its stickiness, But I don't think this is a major downside to be honest!

Just a small selection of my ever-expanding Nail Polish collection

I've always loved painting my nails. At school, I frequently got in trouble for having the brightest, boldest Nail Polish on, even though we weren't allowed to wear any, and I don't think an outfit looks right when I don't have my nails painted.

This obsession started off with just a few plain colours of polish, but have recently expanded into nail art. I'm not very good at it, but I'm just having fun and experimenting with different colour combinations and designs, while trying to improve what I can do. At the moment I'm sticking to spots and Stripes and basic shapes, but hopefully will be able to go ahead of this soon.

I've discovered a girls best friend in these simple designs- Sellotape! Do not underestimate what it can do for you, it keeps one part of the nails free from nail polish allowing you to be as heavy handed as you'd like, considering I don't have the steadiest hand ever.

Now, I'm not saying I'm gonna be the manicurist at WAH! nails or anything, in fact I'm not very good at it, but I like doing it and I think it can be a bit more effective than just plain polish and block colours. hopefully if I keep doing I'll get better, after all practice makes perfect!

One of my Favourite blogs is llymlrs and she often has nail art featured on her blog, and I saw recently that she talked about these nail pens, so I might just purchase these and practice.

I get some inspiration for designs from both her blog, Wah nails bar's twitter account, and Pinterest (Follow me HERE)

Ps. Apologies for the poor quality images. these were originally just taken to be put on Twitter so not intentionally for the Blog!

Madame Milly french manicure kit: review

A very wise Aunty bought me this kit for christmas! Exactly what I had been looking for. I had never heard of this make so I had no expectations at all good or bad, which can only be a good thing.

I love this kit. Only have used it once but so far I love it. Comes with a nail file cuticle sticks base and top coats and the pink and white polishes. It also has nail stencils to help with the white tips but I don't use those because I'm not their biggest fan.

The polishes dry very quickly which I think is important in a kit like this that has stages so that you aren't waiting around for ages for it to dry.

This is the finished result done for going out on boxing night.

overall, I am highly impressed with this product! one of the nails has chipped slightly but that is my own doing, the nail varnish is very good quality and I would try and find more of these products.
