voulez-vous

so tonsillitis has struck again, that is why I've not been able to post again this week :'(

I have many many lovely ideas for posts but one thing after the other means you will have to wait. I am going home this week and to a friends for a few days. I'm hoping to do some posts there so you can see what I think of my their beauty hoarding, as I know my mother's compares to mine in no way at all, it will be very specific and fun to see where I get my beauty tips from. 

I just wanted to let you all know this and show you my classic french manicure :) I used the urcheeky crush on you matte nail polish over the top of my Andrea Fulerton white polish tips, that I did freehand (practice makes perfect but a tip for this is use a slanted straight brush to neaten up the line).

proving my talents and sheer beauty

I have been sat in bed for the past three days with tonsillitis, I keep going to write you up a lovely blog post and then I think 'I have no energy to type' and stick on another crappy 90's film. I did have the energy to do my nails though, and so I have summoned the energy to show them off :)

These nails are a little difficult and have taken a fair bit of practice (to do a good tutorial I'd need the means to video myself doing my own nails, which I do not) to get them the way I like them, the only downside to them is I cannot do the other hand (something I have always had the OCD'ness to do). So I just walk around with one gorgeous hand of nails and another with plain boring ones.. so what hahaha.

I LOVE doing paisley nails I've shown you before here (but I particularly love this colour pairing - it has a grecian feel). 

I decided to do them though after my lovely friend Ella showed me some by WAH nails, Topshop on Instagram, asking me to learn how to do them for her - I was all 'ahem, do not doubt my talent woman' and so here they are.. (you may have seen them on IG already but they make it onto the blog they are that pretty).

I used my navy blue Rio Professional Nail Art Pen and Andrea Fulerton White Nail Polish..

Another occurence of the last couple of days is the #NoMakeUpSelfie, a sudden viral breast cancer awareness trend. I hope you have all taken part I have and I HATE people seeing me without my best friend, mascara... See this is sheer beauty ;) PS If you do the selfie you HAVE to donate otherwise its a little pointless (Text BEAT to 70007 to donate £3 to Cancer Research UK)

Night night beautifuls xxxxxx

sex and the citygal

I accidentally posted this the other day and hadn't even uploaded the pictures! typical me.. didn't notice till two whole days later. If I had a brain I'd be bloody dangerous!

Moving on from my tendency to be a numpty.. I was offered an amazing position at the PR agency I work for, Imagination, last week and it means I can stay in London until July like I originally planned before my previous employer had to let me go. No hard feelings.. not know I'm working for brands I actually like! So I concluded after much turmoil and struggle over the past few months I am officially a citygal again - and in celebration of this wonderful fact I did some sex and the city inspired nail art.. Hope you like :)

I used my new Andrea Fulerton Glitter Kit, Color Show in Blackout and Winter Baby and Models Own in Hot Pink as my bases. I also popped some little glitzy gems on for extra girly factor.. even if they did fall off after a day of running my hands through my super smooth hair. I also used my GOSH silver glitter nail polish for added glitter on the Big Ben I included in my city landscape. I loved drawing my little comso glasses.. now if only I had a full sized one in my hand as well...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :)
