22nd January

A cop out today I'm afraid. Wore my work clothes (boring) then my dance clothes (boring) then my PJs (boring) but I did put on my dressing gown for a bit so thought I'd feature that. I love it, it's so fluffy and it's animal print!

I've realised January is a rubbish month for me. I don't do much and it's too cold to dress well. Bring on February!!

DIY: Playsuit to top

I bought a really cool leopard print playsuit last year from H&M but I just didn't wear it. It was super short so you had to wear leggings and I am currently trying to avoid leggings so I decided to give it away.

I offered it to my big sister who thought it was a top then TA-DA, magical idea... so I turned it into a top!

Chop off the bottom and sew along the seams in a straight line. Easy as pie. What do ya think?

My first play with Models Own Nail Art Pen

I went to Boots yesterday and there was an offer on Models Own products: buy two products and get a free nail art pen. 

As I have complete obsession with nail art I couldn't resist. I've never bought any Models Own products so I bought a pale blue nail varnish to go with the nail art pen. The pen has a pointy tip for dots, details and the like plus a paint brush for stripes and the like.

Today I had a play and I was surprised at how easy the nail art pen was to use. Here are the results:

My right hand was a little less successful but still a lot better than I expected. 

My favourite is the leopard print on my little finger, much easier to achieve than expected. Any suggestions for different designs for me to play with?

I have to say in general I was very impressed with the Models Own nail varnish as well, a really nice product.

My only question now is when will they bring out even more colours of the pen??

How to: 6 rings in 6 minutes

After making my first button ring a while back I've wanted to make a lot more and this morning I did. Here is the result:

I made these in a matter of minutes, so simple and great results.

First you need the ring bases, I bought 20 from eBay for less than £3. Then you need some things to put on top. I had 2 rings, a pink one and a leopard print one, 2 matching blue plastic beads, a bead/button that fell off my Desigual bag and I made a bow from some green ribbon.

All you need to do is superglue the tops to the bases. That is it. Simples. I made sure that the 2 blue beads were glued on in different directions so I had 2 completely different rings. The most expensive ring I here is less than £3.50, not too shabby I don't think!

Which is your favourite? I'm currently rocking the ribbon as it matches my green jumper. I love matchy matchiness!

 

How To: Nailease

Yep, I'm afraid it's another nail post. I do love updating my nails and I've been meaning to do this post for ages so here it finally is.

First up, check out these nails... how awesome are they??

Well this is another one of my little tricks, no need to be a nail artist, you just need a cheat and this one is Nailease. 

These are super quick and easy, the step by step really is as easy as it says on the website:

 

1. Select the size that fits your nail and pull away gently from the full strip
2. Gently remove clear film from top of nail sticker then gently remove clear from bottom of nail sticker holding the silver strip
3. Hold nail sticker by the silver strip and place the rounded side at nail base sticky side down.Note: you can gently pull off and reposition without damaging the strip
4. Firmly smooth the nail surface until wrinkle free. Note: you can gently stretch vertically and horizontally for a wrinkle free surface
5. Fold the excess of the nail strip under the nail. Then gently file off the excess in a downward motion.

That really is it, in fact it is even easier that it seems. I love these and I will be stocking up as soon as their new collection is out I will be taking advantage of the free delivery when you buy 3 pack.
