Dry Brush Nail Art

Hey guys! So I'm back from my holiday now and thought I would show you the nails I wore for the WHOLE week… yes they lasted the whole week! I only had a few chips on the last night and peeled them off in the car on the way home (so so bad I know but I was bored, 5 hours is a long time to sit in a car).

These nails were literally so simple to create and they looked so effective. I started off with a base of 2 coats of Essie Sole Mate and when that was dry, I begun taking random colours and making fast strokes using the brush include in the polish but I had brushed most of the polish off on the bottle top.

GOSH Lipstick Review

Hey guys, sorry again for my crazy posting schedule at the moment but my excuse this time is that I am currently in WALES. I am on an extended family holiday staying in a house with 13 people in Tenby centre. I am having a great time but by the evening I am pretty tired so I haven't done all the posts I probably should have but I am loving the break away from everything. I will upload some pictures on my next post if you want to see what we have all been up to.

Anyway on to todays post. I was lucky enough to win a competition run by the GOSH instagram and they very kindly sent me 4 lipsticks and 5 lip lacquer, all of which I loved and I thought I would share with you the lipsticks.

Pardon My Nails Inspired Mani

Hey guys! Super quick post today of some nails Im not particularly happy with but wanted to share anyway because not all manis can be perfect!

This is a mani that was inspired by Sarah from Pardon My Nails who created this mani a while back and when we did our mani swap I was torn between which ones to do. After opting for some Emma Bridgewater nails I decided to revisit her posts and create this mani later on which I have just got round to doing!

Black & White Geometric Nail Art

Hey guys!! So sorry for the massive delay in posts but after my AMAZING birthday trip to Ireland, I was super ill and have just started my work placement for my third year at Uni.
So as you can probably tell I've not had much time to post but I promise that will all change now!

As for today… I have some nail art that I created before I went on holiday that I couldn't not show you because I am super proud of how these turned out.

Colour Me Crazy - Yellow & Nailsxo Prize

Hey guys! Happy Sunday?! I have two posts in one for you today as I have created my nail art for this weeks Colour Me Crazy - Yellow, using my prize from Nailsxo's amazing competition, which arrived this week and I wanted to show you how generous Emily was and tell you a little bit more about the comp.

So for the weeks Yellow Colour me crazy I was having trouble thinking about nail art to create… I have yellow polishes but I only ever use them for detailing not as an actual base colour so I was really struggling. 

Models Own Floral Polish for Tans

Hello everyone!!

Sorry for not posting yesterday but I was away for my boyfriend's dad's Birthday! We had such a lovely time in Norfolk and I came home yesterday afternoon so I thought I would have plenty of time to post, but I got so badly sunburnt (even though I wore factor 50) that I literally couldn't move… Ive had like no sleep and can't move one of my arms. But anyway enough about the troubles of being ginger….

Today I have a manicure that I created whilst we were having crazy storms in England. One night it even knocked over a vase in my bathroom and it smashed all over the floor so it was pretty scary!

E.L.F Haul and Review

Hey guys! So seeing as I posted a nail art post yesterday I decided that todays post was going to be make up related which I haven't done for a while… My last make up post was a lip crayon review and is actually my second most popular post of all time so I am hoping that my nail followers don't mind a little make up time.

This month is E.L.F's (Eyes Lips Face) 10th Birthday! Woo congrats Elf. And at the beginning of the month the UK site did a wooping 51% off online orders, even on sale stuff which was amazing… (over £25 only) and of course I just couldn't resist this amazing deal and stocked up my make up bag!

I have placed one order from them before and I absolutely loved the products I got. They are all super cheap and high quality with amazing deals on all the time.

Born Pretty Store Lace Stamping Plate

Following on from my last post I have another item from Born Pretty Store which they kindly sent me to try out!

It is a wonderful stamping plate full of different lace patterns which I love!

Sassy-Nailz Review and How to Get Your Free Set!

Coming up today, I am going to talk about a website that I absolutely love! Sassy-Nailz is a website that I came across about a year ago and as I have now started blogging, I just couldn't not share the site with you guys! At the end there is also information on how to get a free set!

The website sells water decals, caviar beads, rhinestones and gems, stickers, nail tools and more. I am going to talk to you about the water decals which are my favourite. When I first ordered some of the decals, I simply ordered Disney transfers such as Micky Mouse and Minions from Despicable me.

This is the first ever mani I created with her water decals and I fell in love instantly! They are so easy and simple to use.

Models Own - Polish for Tans & Sticky Fingers

Hey guys, so today I am going to be showing you some nails that I created with two of Models Own's recent releases. These are the most recent - Polish for tans, and the fairly new Sticky Fingers.

I absolutely love the Models Own brand…. They create polishes that are really worth buying due to their value for money and they are always high quality! I am yet to discover one of their polishes that doesn't go on smoothly and last for ages. Sooo…..

This Morning Inspired Nails

This morning, funnily enough, I was watching 'This Morning' and noticed the wall paper that they had in the background. Straight away as a nail polish lover I started imaging it on nails and decided to start creating it.

My Banana Cinnamon Surprise Cake

(with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting)

I absolutely LOVE cinnamon and even though I dislike bananas, I have always loved a decent banana muffin because of how moist they are.

One day I decided to create my own Banana and Cinnamon cake with a few little treats inside, and ever since it has always been the cake that people ask me to make for them or the cake that they say to save a slice for them if I'm making one soon. Sooooo I thought I would share my recipe with the world and even though it won't be my secret anymore I am find with sharing as long as people show me their creations too.

This is the famous cake…

TKMaxx Haul

So a couple of weeks ago I thought I would pop into TKMaxx and see what bargains I could find. I love a little bargain hunt and on this day I must of been in a home decor mood because I ended up buying decorations for my Uni room.
They are all super cute and I feel that they really make my room look girly and fun.

The first things I brought are these lace mugs….

I originally had just picked up the turquoise one, thinking that was the only one they had. Then when I reached the til there were another 3 colours! One of the colours was yellow and I'm not a great fan of yellow, so I didn't get that one, but I couldn't leave the pink and blue ones there. I just had to have them! So here they are!

Disney Princess Nail Art

Today I have attempted a new technique for nail art that has actually turned out really well so I wanted to share a tutorial type post with you all.

I found this technique on Pintrest but I'm not entirely sure what its called or where the original picture is.. but essentially you can create your own nail stickers just using a plastic ziplock bag and nail polish.

Oreo Mint Cream Cupcakes

This is a recipe that I have come up with myself and have written myself. Feel free to use it but please do not take credit for it being your own. They turned out so well and are delicious so I hope many people try them. If you do.. take pictures and tag me on instagram @kimberlina94

Here goes…
