Nail Art #8 | Ice Cream Nails

This week, i've been eating alot of ice cream, mainly straight from the tub. I love a 99p flake from the ice cream vans, but they're not 99p anymore and they're just not as good as they used to be! I remember when there would be strawberry syrup, sprinkles and a chocolate flake. My nails this week are ice cream themed, with sprinkles, a waffle cone and a cherry on top. I will most likely re-create a 99p flake version...

Graduation!

On Thursday, the 17th July 2014, I, and along with several hundred other students of University of the Arts London, graduated at the Royal Festival Hall. I believed I would graduate, but never with the amazing grade I achieved. It was such an amazing, hot and sweaty day, filled with people from various media courses. I spotted several friends from other courses going up on stage too, which was such a joy to see...

Nail Art #7 | Graduation Nails

These are the nails that I'll be wearing to graduation tomorrow. I didn't want anything complicated and I didn't want plain nails. My dress is black, with no patterns, so I couldn't match my nails to my dress because, well, they'd be plain black nails, and I didn't want to be wearing all black. So I opted for confetti style nails, because it's a celebration! A celebration of all that our course has achieved over...

A rainy day in summer

Tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich An English summer is so unpredictable. Rainy days are not all that bad in the summer. Sure, the grass in your garden or the park will still be wet when the next day it's boiling hot, and you won't be able to laze about getting that gorgeous tan. But, this is a chance to enjoy a rainy day like it's winter all over again, only this time, it won't be freezing cold when you leave...

Nail Art #6 | Anniversary Nails

It was Beau and I's 2 year anniversary on Tuesday, and I really didn't want to spend forever drawing cute patterns. I wanted something simple, so I did pink heart tips, outlined with white to make them stand out more. I chose pink over red because pinks my favourite colour. This time I used Rimmel's Matte Finish top coat instead of my usual Seche Vite. I actually took the polish off in the evening because the matte...

DIY: Clean your silver jewelry

It is coming up to my graduation, and my jewelry is in serious need of some TLC. I wear my jewelry everyday, and sometimes I can't be bothered to take them off when I'm having a shower. So naturally the silver loses its shine and some bits might turn brassy. All you need is: A small piece of foil Baking powder  Hot, just boiled water. (You only need a small amount, so to be energy efficient and use the...

Nail Art #5 | Sheer Dotty Nails

I've seen this look a few times before on Instagram, so I decided to do it myself! I made my own sheer polish using Model's Own Black Magic and NYC's Grand Central Station. I used a dotting tool for the dots, and used a nail striper to outline the nails. As usual I used Nicole by OPI's Strengthener Plus as the base coat, and Seche Vite for the top coat.
