Embellish 3D Manicure



I always thought this look was a fantastic but was surprised how easy it was to do. I had mentioned to my sister that I like the look and she came home from a day of shopping with this for me. I love the colours. It comes with a little funnel for putting the tiny little embellishments back in the bottle and a little plastic tray to catch them when your pouring them over your nails.(that what I'm calling them now because apparently calling them sprinkles is strange or so I'm told) 


First you use two coats of the green polish just like normal but when it comes to the fingers you want to embellish you have to apply your second coat and hold your finger over the tray and pour the little sprinkles over your nail and gently press them so they are all evenly on the nail. After that you wait for them to dry which didn't take to long and if you like apply a top coat. I didn't apply a top coat but will do the next time as I found a few off them over the next few day on my keyboard and my desk opps. Also it might be best to wait for the other fingers to dry before applying the top coat or sprinkles to another finger or it can get a bit messy.

Pennys Haul

PJ's
These pajamas are absolutely adorable and only cost €14. As soon as I saw them I had to buy them. I was looking for something cotton and long sleeve as my skin is very sensitive right now and I'm always cold at night so short sleeves are useless to me. I like my pj's  loose so always but a size bigger and I'm not sure if others find this problem but the bottoms are always to short on me. I don't mean just a little I mean a few inch's to short and it makes me feel uncomfortable. These seem to be some of the only one that seem to fit great and they are so soft it's fantastic. The slippers are so cut and comfy that I forgot I was wearing them and not my ugg boots and almost left the house wearing them today opps haha.

Nail Stuff

I can't seem to stop buying thing lately. I am blaming it on upcoming exams and have become a bit obsessed with doing my nails which is sort of because I find it very relaxing and like to sit down in the evening, watch the soaps and paint my nails. I am also very aware that I sound like an old woman. I got the essence decorating kit and nail art Duo stylist in Pennys and the Rimmel nail nurse top and base coat in my local chemist.

Ugg boots

I love ugg boots in the winter. There so comfy and fluffy inside and keep my toes nice and warm. And at just €8 you can't really go wrong. the sole is also rubber sole so no slipping in the rain. I don't understand how people where the flip flopy based uggs, I'm so accident prone its just an accident waiting to happen.

New outfit

This is the outfit that I got all except the gray top which was already mine. The orange jumper was only €5 and is just what I like, a little loose but not too baggy. I like to layer clothes rather then have a big thick jumper, The gray jeans where €10 and are a little stretchy and very soft. All together it was a good little shopping trip although maybe didn't need everything I bought.

Matt Pink and Glitter



I've had this pink polish for ages but hadn't gotten around to using it so thought I'd give it a try. I used one coat of Nails inc soho silk base coat, then two coats of Sinful Colours #714 Mirror Mauve on each finger but the ring fingers ( I seem to favour these to stand out) where I only used one coat then poured glitter on top of the wet polish and gently pressed it in. The glitter I used for this is supposed to be used in cake decorating but since it is not completely edible I don't like to use it and have been trying to find a new use for it for a little while, this is what I came up with. Next after leaving to dry I applied a top coat of essence matt top coat. It may sound strange but I like to watch the top coat dry and turn the shiny polish to matt.

New Bags


I found these two lovely bags recently while browsing through ebay. When I saw them I just had to have them. I got a Black one and a Pink/Orange one. They both have long adjustable staps so can be worn over the body or shoulder. There made of a suede kind of material which is lovely and soft and are fully lined inside. I hate ordering something online and when I receive it is nothing like it seemed online. Thankfully this is not the case and both of these bags are just as described. I usually love huge over sized bags ( I have no idea how I manage to fill them up!) but in this case the size is perfect not to big and not to small just right like Goldilocks and her stolen porridge. I have not used the pink/orange (the picture doesn't really do the colour justice) but I am loving the black. I have been on the lookout for a fringe detail bag eve since the last one I had got destroyed after I took it to a music festival. Each bag cost less the €10, only took a week and a half to arrive and shipping was free!! I couldn't be happier with my impulse bag buys.

Feeling Blue


I love having one nail different to the others but kinda like them to be coordinated in some way so I went with blue and blue glitter, I was watching the smurfs when I was deciding on a colour haha. I used two coats of blue on each nail besides the ring fingers. I used one coat on the ring fingers and one coast of blue glitter. I'm surprised that it lasted a whole week as I usually find a way to wreck my nails just after they have dried.

Shopping



While I'm supposed to be saving money at the moment I can't help but pick up a few bits here and there especially when its a bargain. This is what I've managed to accumulate in a week. (Must try better at saving).

Batiste Dry shampoo - Seductive & Elegant Lace
Essence eyebrow designer - 02 brown 
Lacura Mosaic Blush - Pink 
Essence all -in-one BB cream - 02 Natural
Kelly Brook Blusher - Bardot 
Kelly Brook nail polish - Regal Riches

I got the Dry shampoo, brow pencil and BB cream in Unicare Pharmacy. I have just run out of BB cream and as I couldn't get to where I had bought it before I thought I'd give the Essence one a go. I'm pretty happy with it, it goes on great and doesn't look like its disappeared halfway trough the day. I wouldn't feel very confident going without make up but have a lot of problems finding a good foundation that suits my skin I definitely prefer BB creams. I also like that it is SPF 30 as I think it's very important to protect your skin.

The brow pencil is actually a little light for me at the moment as I have just had my eyebrows darkened. But does go on nicely and very easy to use I was able to get good shape using this pencil. I normally use powder so it was nice to see the difference.

I love dry shampoo as my skin seems to be oily these days I find that sometimes the front sections of my hair look a little flat during the day when I wear it down. Dry shampoo gives it a little boost and keeps it looking volumised and the smell is gorgeous. I like to buy the little travel sized ones to keep in my bag for days and nights out.

The Kelly Brook Blusher and nail polish I picked up in New Look conveniently placed at the Que for the till! Well played new look well played. The blusher is so cute it comes in an adorable bow imprinted into it and a a little brush and mirror underneath the blusher. I liked this blusher on, I think it gives me a more natural look. I am trying to find a nice day look and I think this fits what I would like. I would normally go for a darker shade like my favourite Beneifit Coralista. The nail polish is a light, almost transparent purple with some sparkle ( I love sparkle). It drys quickly so for people with no patience like me its great.

Last but not least I found this Lacura Mosaic Blush in Aldi and a complete bargain at only 50 cent that I just had to buy and try it out and I'm happy I did as its lovely on.
