Halo Plaits are absolutely everywhere I love them, check out some celebs and models rocking the trend below. How adorable?
There are a million tutorials for this style out there but personally I don't have the dexterity for it! Which is why I am extremely lucky to have a big sister who is a hairdresser and is willing to practice her skills on me. I have rocked this look a number of times over the summer and I'll be taking it into winter. I love it!
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?
Anyone else get on the Olympic nail art trend?
I used glitter, 'cause it's awesome, to create bronze, silver, gold on my index, middle and ring finger.
Then I used green glitter on my thumb and little finger. Why green? I'm Irish so all out support for team Ireland!
This picture was actually taken while I was at the triathlon yesterday where the Brownlee boys did Team GB very proud.
I am loving the Olympics and every opportunity to show off some supporting spirit!
I wanted to try a five finger nail art manicure, where I created a different look on every finger.
I used a base coat of Baker Street by Nails Inc on all of my nails.
Thumb: I used Floral Street by Nails Inc and a nail art brush to create a gradient of spots that started very dense on the top right of the nail and faded in the bottom left of the nail.
Index finger: Using Princes Street by Nails Inc and the nail art brush again I did two stripes to the left of centre of the nail.
Middle finger: I used nail glitters in a similar shade to Baker Street all over the nail.
Ring finger: I filled in half the nail on a diagonal using Royal Mews by Nails Inc (which appears to not be available anymore)
Little finger: Again, I covered the nail in glitter but this time in a lighter shade to the middle finger.
What do you think? I love the variety and how they all fit in the same theme.
My right hand was worse, as is always the way, but I did the same 5 designs but changed which finger they were on.
So I may have been a bit quiet recently but my obsession for nail art continues. Here are some highlights.
Glitter I got some nail glitter for Christmas and have used it for both full set of nails and ring finger accent. I prefer the ring finger accent.
Ring finger nail art Using the Models Own nail art pen I created some ring finger accents. With all 3 designs and used a different colour on the ring finger as well as using nail art.The first is a tribal design using a grey on 4 of my fingers and white with a black design on the ring finger.
The second is 2 shades of blue with black stripes and spots. Simple but effective.
The third is my favourite and really simple. A grey on the 4 fingers and a gorgeous Nails Inc silver on the ring finger with a simple heart in the corner.
Marbled nails These were my marbled nails for Easter. I love the colours.
The Versace Couture show was AMAZING and summed up everything I love about the brand: colour, drama and sex appeal.
