Polish Party - Inspired by a PP member

So this months Polish Party theme was voted for by the group and ended up being 'Inspired by another PP member' which I was super excited about having as my first theme.

I searched through everyone blogs and found the mani that inspired me most (which was so hard as there was loads of amazing designs!) and I chose this stamped mani from the amazing Fundamentally Flawless which was actually a previous Polish Party mani!

Flower and Stud Nails

Last post for the day is some nails that I did a few weeks ago and posted on instagram. They are these super cute flower and stud nails using a new Rimmel polish that I got in 711 Punk Rock.


Minnie Mouse Cake

Hey guys so I know I hadn't posted in ages until I posted some nails just now (or that my posting has been very willy nilly), but its been due to the fact I went home for easter and couldn't carry my laptop and camera home.

I am going to sit down this weekend and re-arrange my page tabs for separate baking and nail sections after some feedback from fellow bloggers suggested this would be a good method. AND hopefully this will then lead to me having specific posting days for both nail and baking posts.

But for today you will have to have 3 posts… I know a lot, but I may not be able to post again for a while, while I sort out my page.

This is a Minnie Mouse cake my Mum and I created for a 1st birthday.
































There will not be a recipe for this, but I will explain how we decorated the cake.

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.

Easter Nails Take 2

Well after my nail fail that I posted yesterday I painted my nails a plain all over colour of Models Own Blueberry Muffin from their scented polish collection, but after walking around a zoo all day (had a great time in the sun, love a good zoo) I hated how plain they were!

So this morning when I woke up super early I decided to add some details too them!

I was inspired by a recent post by Dahlia Nails, and I just tweaked it and added my own touch to it.

Easter Nail Fail...

So I said in my last post that I was going to post tonight with my next set of Easter nails.... But unfortunately I messed up so there will be no nail pictures today. Or at least not the ones I had in mind. :(

Basically I created these bunny decals and was super excited to use them!



But sadly I let them set for too long so they wouldn't bend to the shape of my nails! 

I am going to do some other nails for tomorrow but don't know that they will be as interesting! 

Oops!

Peace.

Easter Nails Take 1

So today I am posting my first set of Easter nails... I am really disappointed with how the picture turned out as I didn't have a camera at uni with me so I have had to take the picture on my phone!
But I created these nails using mostly colours from Models Own.


I started with a base of the models own Hyper Gel in White. And used a sponge to create a pastel gradient with their Fruit Pastel Scented polishes in Blueberry and Strawberry Tart.
Then using a striping brush I created the details and added studs that I purchased from eBay a while ago.

I promise that the nails look a whole lot better in person! And I will be posting another set of nails on Saturday night!

Got some Easter nails to show? Tag me on Instagram @kimberlina94 as I love seeing others creations!

Feeling in a super springy mood now :)

Peace!

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.
