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

Sun Dress'd | Outfit Of The Day

 

Hey Guys,

I thought i'd share some sun with my northern hemisphere readers,so 

today's post is going to be a quick OOTD featuring this cute summer dress.

Let's get right to it.

>>> <<<

 THE LOOK:

>>> <<<

For this perfect summer outfit I went for a short fit and flare (yellow printed) dress, because the dress is printed, I kept the rest of the look quite simple. 

For shoes I went for these black chunky sandals, and added a white sunhat. To accessorize it just went with my everyday jewelry.

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.

Green Smoothie | DIY

 Hi Guys,

In today's post I will be sharing, my everyday Green Smoothie recipe. 

The great thing about making these smoothies yourself is that you can custom make them to your preference, by adding whichever fruits and veg you like. 

This is an easy way to get all those vitamins, from one tasty drink!

DIY Green Smoothie 

Serves 2

You'll need:

A blender 

2 Green apples (medium sized)

2 Handfuls of raw chopped spinach

1 Medium to large sized pear

3 Medium strawberries 

1/2 Medium sized pineapple (diced)

2-3 Tablespoons of yogurt (double cream yogurt works great)  

3 Tablespoons of juice (I used apple juice)

>>> <<<

Place all your ingredients into the blender and blend for 

30-45 sec or until desired consistency is reached.

and Enjoy!

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.
