Galaxy nails without the effort!

I always get so jealous when I see people uploading pictures of their nail art, where they have beautiful, long, healthy nails, and always have great designs like the famous "galaxy nails" design, newspaper nails, etc. I've tried these galaxy nails before and not only do they require a sh*t ton of effort, mine just never seem to turn out right either. I've had this nail varnish since Christmas now, and I've never noticed this until recently, but how much does the nail varnish in the bottle look all galaxy/starry sky like? Perfect for a quick coat and there you have it - galaxy nails without all the effort. This varnish is called Gypsy night, and you can buy it from Topshop here for £6. It's a really beautiful nail varnish anyway, and is good to go after 2 coats. 1 coat is a bit too sheer but it's easily buildable and gives a beautiful finish. I'm sorry it doesn't show up so well on my nails, but I promise it's beautiful in real life.

My favourite accessories - Rings

Hi everybody! I thought i would start a more fashion/accessories related post rather than the typical makeup one because fashion is something else i really enjoy! Doesn't every girl though?! So, I've decided i'm going to start a little series of my favourite accessories, starting with my ultimate favourite - RINGS! I own quite a few but i thought i would pick five of my favourite to show you all, hope you enjoy!





Alexander McQueen - I lusted after this ring for so long, i think i looked at it every day on their website, mam must've caught me looking because she surprised me with it on christmas day last year! I think it was definetely the best present, I never expected she would get me it. I think it's the perfect attention grabbing ring, however I do only wear it on special occasions! Also, if im planning on getting drunk uptown under no circumstances do i wear it! I'm terrible for losing earings and rings uptown. My most prized possession! They're always bringing out new collections and colours of this famous skull ring, if you're interested you can check them out here.






Serpant style - For some reason, I have always absoloutly loved any form of ring or bracelet that had a snake/lizard on it, I think ive gone through about 4 or 5 of them, I either lost them or bent them or my freinds borrowed and never gave back, but I am always on the hunt for a new one! This particular one is from Topshop but i got it a couple of years back now. They're very easy to get hold of and i know that Talullah Tu currently has them! Oh, and a play on the Alexander McQueen one, so if you wanted a blingy style skull ring without breaking the bank, have a look at Talullah Tu here. (Some of Talullah Tu's jewellery can be quite expensive, i suppose it's just how much you would pay personally!)




Armour ring - Recently I have seen more and more of these 'armour style' rings floating about. At first when i saw the ones that cover most of your finger, i thought they were a bit too over the top gothy for me. This one is a very simple version of the typical armour ring you can get and i think i got it from BooHoo! They've grown on me now and I would love to have a proper one, but everyone I've seen they've been pretty expensive. So maybe for xmas :)




Cocktail ring - Personally, i'm not sure what makes a cocktail ring a cocktail ring, but i would certainly call this one! This I got from mammy dearest for my 18th birthday, I loved it then and it remains loved now! Again these are very easy to get hold of, i suggest looking on Topshop, even though they can be quite pricey.



Stackable rings - Extremely simple concept, so many ways to wear them! You usually get about 6 or 7 rings in these stackable packs, you can either pile them up, or spread them around all of your fingers! I own some from Topshop and H&M, I have to say H&M is the winner when it comes to these rings, affordable, and a wide range to choose from. Another great thing about these is you can buy them quite plain looking, so if you dont want something to over the top but still want to accessorize, i would definetely suggest these!


So, I hope you enjoyed my first more fashion/style related post, I look forward to doing more of them! Where do you all prefer to shop for accessories?!

Nail polish picks for a cold and frosty winter :)

I dont know about you but i love my winter nail polishes glittery, metallic, and with a lot of baby pinks and blues, think of when you look at snow and how much it sparkles when the sun shines on it! Of course you have your more tradiotional berry tones and deep greens but i think i might restrict those for xmas day, and in all honesty, i always get sick of seeing any shade of red nail varnish, and i'm not a fan of green nail varnish, except from Barry M's minty green colour!

Now, i know two of these nail varnishes have been blogged about in a previous post but they're two of my favourite, especially for winter, so i had to include them again!



Firstly, Mac's 'uncondtionally fabulous', A perfect winter glitter nail varnish which when looked closely at has circles of glitter which shine a mixture of blues, greens, and very light pinks. Next, Barry M's 'Blue moon', a lovely icy blue colour.



One the left another Barry M varnish, 'Pink iridescent', the glitter in this polish shines very similar to the mac one, making it another sparkly winter polish! Lastly, a Topshop varnish, I really like the forumaly of this, it can be a tiny bit streaky, but personally, it is one of my favourites! You cant go wrong with a silver metalic polish at christmas time!

What are your favourite colours to wear throughout winter?
