The Three Beauties.

I believe I am obsessed. My collection seems to be on the rise daily and soon there will come a time when my table top cannot hold any more. But until then, here's three more I have purchased. Out of these three beauties, two I have yet to try (bot orange colours). Admittedly, the Barry M glitter polish is beautiful. I loved looking at my nails when I had it on. The only downfall of this nail polish is its stubbornness to be removed. It literally took my ages of full on scrubbing to get it off. Nonetheless, I still loved it. Plus, doesn't chip easily which is a major advantage.

Leopard Print Eye Make-Up.

So me being me, decided on a whim that I should try out make up for Halloween (Last year, late post I know but I felt like posting it. Excuse my rashness). Along my thought process I thought, instead of the generic costumes for Halloween, why not go as an animal. In light of that I went on a hunt on YouTube and found some amazing ideas for animal print eye make up. My favorite had to be the Leopard print. I felt it looked amazing and it was so easy to do, it surprised me. 



1. To make the colour of a leopard, I used some brown colours and mixed them together with a coppery colour (see below).
It gave me this really lovey, shimmery, orangey colour which I adored and I applied that on my lid and under my lower lashes. 





2. I then added the ever so famous white eye shadow to the corners of my eye, which creates the illusion of bigger eyes (since my eyes are small)






3. After I created  half circles using my liquid eyeliner to make a leopard print pattern.

4. Finally, I lined my eyes with Rimmel London's Glam Eyes liquid eyeliner which I love! (also see above)
All in all, it turned out very well. I'm pleased!

Cause We Like To Parrtyyy!

I'm slowly beginning to realize that being young with no responsibility only happens for a short time. I'm 18 and soon, university is on the cards along with looking after my finances and being able to rely on mainly myself. In saying this, going out to clubs and partying is fun but I think the novelty might wear of soon since other things are going to become a big priority. In light of that, I choose to do it now rather than later!  So, enough life coaching.

I wore this outfit to my friends 18th birthday party. It's this high low chiffon dress. Absolutely gorgeous and it only set me back £19.75 quid from Forever 21.








The shoes are to die for. These black wedges that are totally worth their price. They are comfy, easy to walk in, and go with practically everything I own! (But they are for going out purposes only)



For spring/summer, and I'm saying this hesitantly since I live in the UK, that adding a denim shirt on top of this outfit would be amazing. I guess it adds a sort of casualness to the look rather than a 'lets paint the town red' vibe. Still, its cute and looks hot so why not!

Nail Art.

I have a slight obsession with nails and nail polish. Correction. I definitely have an obsession. The vast range of colours, the smooth texture once the polish has been applied and the final look is enjoyable to me. I think that is why I try so hard to make them look good. 'Imagination is the only limitation of nail art'. This quote is so beautifully true. I have also mentioned before on an older post called Small But Bold that nails are in fact a small part of our bodies, and to be able to cover such a small part of the body in such beauty is fascinating, which is why I love nails and polish so!


Marshmallow Heaven featuring summer foliage. The colour I have on at the moment and am in total love with. The color is perfect for summer and it doesn't look too flashy which is great.



Here I tried out vintage flowers (My hand) and on my cousins had I did a Minnie Mouse themed nail. I'll definitely be doing the vintage flowers again, but first I need to get my hands on a small brush, so I can do the detailed bits better.


I remember seeing on AlunaGeorge's Instagram, a picture of Aluna's nails, and I just had to try them out. I mean some lines are not straight, but for a first time, I think I did pretty darn great!



Blue Eyed Girl from Rimmel London. The bomb. I adore this colour. It looks fantastic and goes with pretty much everything I own, which is like an extra advantage.



This looks totally messy, but it took forever to complete. I saw this on CutePolish's channel on You tube and had to do it. I really liked how the colours looked together. 


This is a look that I remember seeing on Khloe Kardashian's Instagram page. It looked stunning, so, being me, I decided this would be another look I could do, which I did and it turned out great!
