NOTD - Zebra Print

A quick nails of the day post for you today and as you can see from the title and the picture below I decided to go for a zebra print look.


I used a black base coat and then applied the white zebra print using my konad nail art kit



Products Used:

Clear Base Coat
E.L.F Black Nail Polish
Konad Special Nail Polish & Image Plate M57
Sally Hensen No Chip Acrylic Top Coat

I love to do animal print nails but it takes me quite a while to make it look neat!

What do you think?

St. Ives Apricot Scrub

I have recently tried the St. Ives Apricot Scrub wich has been on my wish list for ages now however I never used to remember to pick it up when I was out shopping! Whilst out shopping last week with my friend Emma I finally remembered! The product was slightly more expensive than I thought It would be so decied to buy a small travel sized mini version to try out.



I tried the product that night and was really impressed with it. My skin was left super soft & fresh I was really pleased with the product so much so that when I was shopping at the weekend I picked up the normal larger sized bottle. The scrub comes in a few different varieties for different peoples skin types I got the Innovating scrub (small) & the large one for blackheads & bleamishes.


I am really glad that I finally got this product as I love it! I think I have used it eveyday since I bought it although it is recomennded that you use it 3 to 4 times a week to get the best results. If you haven't already tried this product I would suggest that you did as it leaves my skin so nice! 

Keep you eyes open for my video product review which will be uploaded to my YouTube channel soon.

Have you tried this product, what did you think?

I Love Earrings!

Hi everyone


Gosh I can't believe it's the 1st of September today!

Anyway this is just a quick post as I wanted to share with you some new earrings that i have bought, I'm a little obsessed with buying earrings especially from Primark! I went to Meadowhall yesterday and bought 3 pairs! They will be featured in my next Haul video but I wanted to do a blog post on them as my camera takes better quality pictures so here goes.

I first bought 2 pairs of earrings from Primark....


So I first spotted these pretty star earrings £1.50, I used to have some similar to this from Peacocks but they were getting grubby and I lost one!

I then spotted these & couldn't resist they are so pretty I think they are like a Panda type thing £2.50, what do you think? I love animal earrings and have a few diffrent pairs.



Finally I went into Republic to look for a purse & found a really cute Elephant ring however I already have many rings so when I spotted these matching earrings £4.99 I just had to buy them, I love them!



 
I really have too may pairs of earrings!

What do you think, do you love earrings?

NOTD - Delight

I was sorting out my nail polish this afternoon & had a quick count up I shockingly have over 50 at the moment many of them I no longer use!


So I have decided that I'm going to stop sticking to the new ones and use some of my old polishes. Today I decided to use an old favourite 'Rimmel's Lasting Finish 211 Delight' I haven't used this for ages!

As far as I am aware Rimmel no longer sell this colour which is such a shame as I used to love it and wear it all the time, it's such a pretty colour. I have had mine for gosh I would say at least 3 or 4 years and it is a little gloopy now but I love the colour.


Products Used:


Clear Base Coat
Rimmel Lasting Finish: 211 Delight
Konad Special Nail Polish: White & Image Plate M57
Sally Hansen: No Chip Acrylic Top Coat

 
I used the Konad Image Plate to print the flower on there just for something a little diffrent but pretty & simple.


Over the next few weeks you will see more NOTD as I am going to be using alot of my (old) nail polish.

What do you think to my first NOTD post? What's your favourite nail polish? Do you think Rimmel should bring back Delight?
