With a dash of Glitter | NOTD

 

Hey guys I am back with another NOTD! 

Let's get right into this quick and EASY nail tutorial.

You'll need the following:

A solid color for the base -- Essence the gel nails in Serendipity
2 types of glitter/ shimmery colors -- A metallic silver & a turquoise and gold glitter varnish
A top coat
A Q-tip
and nail polish remover 

I started with clean smooth nails, then applied my base color, I used Essence in 'Serendipity'.
Next you want to decide which are going to be your accent nails.
I went for my thumb, middle and ring finger.
I painted my thumb and middle finger with the glitter polish and the middle nail with the metallic silver. I did exactly the same on my right hand, just switched the colors around.
 Once my nails were all dry I cleaned up the edges with some nail polish remover and a Q-tip
and finally I sealed it all with a top coat.

And this is the end result

Lace & Trousers

Hey guys!

I am so excited for today's post because; I have been searching for the perfect pair of trousers for sometime now and I finally found them! 

So of course I had to share how I would style these.

The Look:

For this outfit I kept it simply yet chic. 

I paired these lovely trousers with a lace (detailed trim) top and added some edge with these metallic pointed pumps.

To complete the look; I added touch of periwinkle blue to my nails with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails in ' 365 Hard Bitten' 

And that's the completed look.

Orly-Grape Glitz | Nails of the day

Hi guys! 

I'm back with a very short and season appropriate blog post. 

Since the beginning of Spring I have been painting my nails a ton, experimenting with colours I wouldn't usually- like orange and periwinkle blues. 
Although I love those shades, this beautiful soft purple shade with fine hints of shimmer has definitely been my most favorite and is perfect for spring time!

Nails Of The Day

ORLY - Grape Glitz

 

>>> <<<

 This is a sheer lacquer but it is build-able; I applied three thin coats to achieve this look. This lacquer is fast drying as well as long lasting, however to ensure longevity apply a good top coat.

This shade is soft and feminine with a touch of sparkle, perfect for every princess...I mean girl.  

I would recommend this lacquer as  it gives your nails that salon finish in the comfort of your own home and will cost you a mere fraction of the price.

Obviously | T-shirt dress

  Hi guys, 

Today's post is a very easy to achieve, yet stylish and on trend look.

For this outfit I styled a t-shirt dress with a loose fit blazer, some socks and combat boots. 

I then added a black cap and some round sunnies, for jewelry I kept it simple with my everyday pieces.

 To complete the look I opted for a pop of color on my nails with Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in 'Hard Bitten'

Enjoy!

August | Favourites

Hi guys!

August is finally gone and winter is officially over, yay! 

I am super excited for September because it is my birthday month and I have lots of exciting posts in mind.

Today's post is my August favorites- just some things I have been loving this past month.

>>>  <<<

Lip Combo: 

Liner - Yardley in 'Spicy Nude'

Lipstick - Nyx soft matte lip cream in 'Abu Dhabi'

Gloss - Avon plump pout in 'Pink Nectar' 

This is my all time favorite lip combo, I will probably wear this forever ;) The Nyx lip cream is a matte lipstick which I love but some days I like to add a bit of gloss over it and this Avon plump pout is great definitely one of my favorite glosses.

>>> <<<

Orly in FBl2831

I have been painting my nails a ton this past month, Blues and Nudes. This nude shade is perfect for my skin tone, its fast drying and lasts up to 5 days. Another nail polish I've been loving is the Sinful colors in 'Cinderella'.

>>> <<<

Fluffy Knit - Double zero

On the cold and rainy days; this was my go-to piece- a black fluffy knit!

This has been in my last  favorites and I still love it. I wish I had them in ever single color possible.

>>> <<<

Silver lace ups - MrP

These are oldies but goodies! I got these on sale last year and I am still obsessed with them. They are bold and add a little something to any outfit. Obsessed!

>>> <<<

Large sunnies- MrP 

Although it was winter there were many sunny days and the shades were absolutely perfect blocking out those rays. They are black so they match everything, they have some minor gold detailing and were really inexpensive.

>>> <<<

Double-back earrings - MrP 

I have been wanting these ever since I saw them online. I couldn't find them anywhere and I didn't know of they would suit me. Recently I found this pair at MrP ,they were so inexpensive! I got them to see if I would like them, and well they are in my favorites, so of course I love them.

>>> <<<

Nesquik Sandwich Biscuits 

These are so good and so extremely addicting. They are really delicious especially the strawberry flavor and I usually don't like anything strawberry flavored.
I would definitely recommend this snack.

>>> <<<

Electric Heart by RUE 21

This perfume is amazing, it has a clean, long lasting fragrance. 
With notes of Bergamot, Pineapple, Moss and Cedarwood this is a great scent for the summer for sure.

Grunge Chic

 Hi Guys! 

Today's look is inspired by one of my favorite trends, Grunge Fashion. 

Grunge fashion is funky, edgy and very 90's, this outfit is more of a subtle take on the trend and it's quite easy to achieve as well.

Lets get right into the today's look.

The outfit:

>>> <<<

For this outfit I paired some regular black skinny jeans with this boxy fit snake skin printed sleeveless tee.

I then added a black boater hat for more of a grungy look. For shoes I went for a pair of patent leather combat boots. I opted for these gold double back earrings to add a touch of chic and finally to complete the look I added a pop of color on my nails with Sinful Colors in ' Cinderella'

July | Favourites

Yet another month has flown by  and today's post is my July favourites. 

The weather this past month has been very yucky, so I stayed in most days, curled up with my blankie. 

None the less I do have some fashion and beauty favourites to share with you guys.

>>> <<<

Firstly I have to share my current nail color obsession- Cornflower Blue.
I have been loving this color on my nails lately. 
It is a great shade with subtle shimmers, suitable for all skin tones and it can be worn year round. 
This is Sally Hansen Hard as nails in 'Hard bitten' and it is also a dupe for the Essie's 'Bikini so teeny'

>>> <<<




>>> <<<

So this past month the weather has been confusing with really cold and rainy to clear and sunny days. To keep warm  i've been wearing lots of coats as they are warm and easy to style. However recently I have been loving my statement coat, this 3/4 sleeve houndstooth coat. This coat is easy to style and no accessories are necessary. 

Coat // Jo Borkett

>>> <<<

>>> <<<

Another piece I have been enjoying this month is my  fluffy knit.
I think everyone should have at least one of these, I on the other hand wouldn't mind having them in every color possible. They keep you warm, they're soft and fluffy, and they add a touch of class to your outfit so what more could you ask for.

Fluffy knit // Cotton On

Black skinny jeans are most definitely a closet must- have. They match with literally anything and can be worn from day to night, casual to formal and everything in between. 
These are just perfect!
I have been wearing my pair a ton this past month and will probably for months to come.

Skinny Jeans // Forever 21

These chelsea boots were gifted to me about a month ago and I have been living in them. They are easy to slip on no zippers and buckles. They are the perfect pair of little booties, they are black, comfy and can be transitioned from one season to the next.

Robin Chelsea boots // Mossimo

My last fashion favourite has to be my new favourite little leopard printed crossbody. This bag is the perfect size to fit all my essentials and adds a touch of leopard print to my outfits, which I absolutely love.

Crossbody // Nine West

A couple of months ago I decided to give myself a purple ombre, and of course I had to lighten my hair which we all know is damaging. So recently my parent were in America and I asked them to bring me a product which would nourish, smooth and glossen my hair but not leave it oily. 
This Wild Harvest Hair 'silk drops' are amazing, it is a silk serum and does a perfect job at everything I have been looking for and doesn't leave my hair oily at all! 

Wild Harvest Hair 'Silk Drops'

This month I decided to add my snack favourites, because  it's winter I find myself snacking constantly, which I know I am going to regret!
 I have been obsessed with these mini Oreo's - which has always been my favourite cookie. Also I have been enjoying Wonka Nerds! why did I ever stop eating these?


>>> <<<








And lastly my make-up favourites. I have be wearing this warm brown shimmery eye look nearly every single day and it is so incredibly easy to achieve.

1. Firstly I prime my eyelids with the e.l.f shadow lock to hold my eyeshadows in place all day.
2. I then use the brown shade in my Essence Ready for Boarding palette in 'Beauty on Tour' I placed this shade on the outer half of my lid, in and slightly above my crease.
3. Next I take this Elizabeth Arden matte taupe shade and added it to my crease to deepen it.
4.I then take some of my e.l.f. Bronzer in 'Warm tan' and applied it to the inner corners of my lids and blend it onto the center of my lids as well as in my crease and just above it.
5. And finally I curl my lashes and apply 2 coats of Colormates dual waterproof mascara

I hope you all enjoyed today's post, Let me know what you have been enjoying this past month in the comments section below.
