Green, Purple and Glitter Nails, "Go on and take a bow"

-
I always wish I had longer, perfect nails rather than my easily broken short nails. Looking at my friend's acrylic stiletto nails makes me jealous with ridiculous amounts of envy! I wish I had the money just to get my nails done week in and week out with the latest design or shape. Looking in magazines makes my obsession worse by seeing celebrities or even adverts advertising their latest nail varnish or even the nails they wear just for ONE performance, why can't that be me?! Why can't I be able to paint my nails and make it seem like them adverts? That will never happen though, but it's good to dream. When I used to get plain white acrylic tips, I would regularly paint them as I get bored so easily with plain nails and I liked to experiment with different colour nail varnishes and designs. Though one colour I have NEVER tried is green, green isn't a colour I would really go for, it's a colour I have never worn either on nails or even clothes. But it's good to have a change right?

Top Left: I used Collection 2000 'Green with envy' and 'Hot Purple' and for a bit of sparkle I used the Barry M 'Amethyst Glitter'. Collection 2000 claim the nail varnish was a '5 day wear', so we will see.
Top Right: The final result, I decided to use the green on all my nails to try and get use to the fact I'm wearing green. Then used the purple and glitter to break it up, although I'm not sure if it really works.
Bottom Left: First day of having the nails varnish on, my nails are still as perfect as they were when I painted them.
Bottom Right: However on my left hand the ends of my nails had started to chip, even thought they claimed the '5 day wear'.

Let me know what you think and any designs or patterns you use on your nails :)

    I have exactly the same problem with you when it comes to having short and easily broken nails! Reading your "bottom right" section about your nails this is the thing that annoys me about nail varnish on normal nails - I can never find anything that stays on for a full day without chipping! I am now a full time acrylic wearer and am lucky in the fact that they last me months on end (I still have them on from November at the moment but file and re-paint them myself to help them last longer - good tip). Personally I have never tried green nail varnish either but it actually looks gorgeous on your nails - might give it a try.

      I know it's the one thing that frustrates me with nail polishes is their '5-7 day lasting wear' but it's rare it lasts that long! Ah I'm very jealous if I could afford acrylic nails I would wear them all the time! Aw thankyou :) xx

    I love the green colour. It looks metallic and matt at the same time x

Post Secret.. Whats your secret?

-
Image
I know this is meant to be more of a fashion blog than anything else, but I also like writing about subjects that really influence me. Ive known about Post Secrets now for a few years and they really do touch my heart and do shock me to an extent of what people write. Basically a Post Secret is a postcard which someone designs themselves- which includes a background image they create and then the secret itself. Although what I never realised was how in depth people can go with their secrets- I expected just normal everyday secrets like "I really like you, but I don't know how to tell you" for example, but some people gave away a deep and emotional secret to them. It started to go on the website once a week to see the secrets and the detail that people went to within them and the design of the card really shock me. Though when America was sadly rocked with the events of 9/11 I thought people would want to keep there feelings to themselves as of course it's such a

Prom dress, or Cocktail dress

I haven't blogged for about a week now, but this is due to me getting so many assignments and all my deadlines coming at the same time (and also me leaving everything till the last minute d'oh). But my college course has organised a prom for our campus as well as surrounding campus's on the same course in June, which isn't that far away. Normally I would like to say I'm organised and have an outfit ready in my wardrobe anticipating its debut... but unfortunately I haven't even started to think about what I'm going to wear till now. My friend on the course has gone for a cocktail dress, which is very formal, and some other people have gone for prom dresses too. Me being me i want to be different and have something formal but quite dressed down too. I'm the fussiest person I know when it comes to choosing an outfit, though i wanted to rent a dress out as I wouldn't get another occasion like this for a while. I got shown these two websites called, Myc

£25 Voucher For River Island... Goodbye Bank Balance

-
Image
Recently it was my birthday so like any other girl, I got a lot of jewellery and money, though the one thing I my family rarely buy me are clothes. They find it hard to keep up with the trends that are going on and understanding why items they wore back in their hay day is now back in fashion, so instead they give me clothes vouchers so I can decide on what I like. Which is a bonus as knowing my mother she would probably still fit me into floral dresses and cute tops I wore as a child so she could have her little girl back again. So today I decided to have a gander online at River Island to see what items are screaming at me to spend my voucher, and these are the items I have found so far. I intended on finding just six items, but the further I looked on the site the more and more I started to realise my bank balance was going to take a hammering.  Light Brown Lace Up High Tops £30 Ive wanted a pair of high tops for ages now, not only are they comfortable to wear but it can
