Autumn Wishlist ...

Autumn has most certainly begun in England,

the first leaf I saw fell a couple of days ago,

Taylor (my son) is back to school,

and it's getting chilly and darker in the evenings.

I have been laid on the sofa most of the weekend as I have a stinking cold and headache.

So as you do, I have been window shopping the internet.

This seasons high street has some very exciting pieces, I'm really looking forward to getting home.

 

Boohoo Dress 

&

New Look Pumps 

My perfect combo for a casual day out, early Christmas shopping or going out for a meal.

I would certainly get a 

cardigan and wooly pair of tights 

to wear with this outfit!

River Island Wrap Dress 

&

Very Studded Boots

I'm unsure whether this pair would fit well together however I love them both separately.

I think the dress is a perfect outfit for your/your partners Christmas work party

&

Peep toe shoes are my guilty pleasure at the moment, so classic and the perfectly discrete way to show off beautifully manicured toes.

   

 New Look Earrings

&

Mango Sweatshirt 

Personally I think this is a lovely way to wear stylishly warm and comfy clothing.

The earrings are bang on tend right now as triangles and aztec styling are the thing to wear right now!

New Look Comic Cami

&

New Look Grey PJ Bottoms

Pyjamas are my biggest love of Autumn and Winter, they're so comfy!

 I already own a pair of New Look PJ's and they are undoubtedly the most comfy I have.

The Comic Cami looks super cute however I'm gutted they don't sell trousers to match.

I hope you guys are enjoying the Autumn so far!

Have you got any wishlists?

Or any Work Party OOTD ideas??

Easy French Manicure...

Hey guys...

I am blogging from my bed tonight

it's so cosy and much warmer than my lounge haha.

I may have 'accidently' slipped into Superdrug again

and 'accidently' purchased a considerable amount

Oh dear

It's a good thing I've just been paid.

Anyway

I was thinking about other nail effects I could show you guys

and I thought about how much I struggled to get the hang of 

a french manicured finish at college

Then I purchased this today

and thought it might make doing it a bit easier

FYI - I don't practice looks before I do it, so sorry if it turns out a bit naff.

The thing with French finish .. you don't need longish nails

because it gives you that effect even if you bite your nails

you silly person. Hehe.

1. You've got to start of with clean unpolished nails

Mines aren't usually this long..

 Remember it's ok if you don't have any nail

as you can fill it in yourself

This is the natural nail colour I'm using

BarryM 125 in Pale Purple

which is a really nice colour on it's own. 

2. Using the BarryM Nail Pen in White, draw around your natural nail tip and a bit more if you like, but still making sure it looks natural.

 A little something like this

and my computer in the background on my comfy duvet

It's really easy to draw on.

You don't have to faff around with tape 

or making huge scruff marks on your skin.

3. Now using the natural Pale Purple colour paint two layers over the white polish.

Your white tips will show through and then can be used like a stencil.

 

First Coat

Second Coat

 See how it's like a stencil under the natural colour!

4. You must wait for the natural colour to dry

Then draw away

it is actually like using a felt tip 

so easy!

 

See how it covers up the pinkyness 

and the finished product...

One French Polish without the faff 

without the £30 salon fee

In the comfort of your own home.

Show me your try outs!

I'd love to see it.
