minion nail art

Yes, this is what I spent my afternoon off doing! I have to say it was actually a hell of a lot of fun, I did enjoy myself. When it all came together it was really satisfying to be honest, I was really proud! 

I didn't want to do the entirety of my nails as I thought it would be too much, a bit over the top and would just be for novelty effect, and I wanted a set I could wear and would go with outfits etc.

Here were the steps as to how I completed this set.

(l-r) cover entire base with a yellow, then paint the tip with a blue, add the black detail with a nail art pen or use an acrylic black paint with a small brush, then add a grey/brown between the black detail, a smaller white circle on top of the grey/brown, then add final facial accents with a black nail art pen or acrylic paint.

I joked to my boyfriend that I would give this design a shot, but after he said how awesome I would be (I think he was being sarcastic to be fair) and how much I love taking on new designs, I went for it! 

What do you guys think? And if you have any cool novelty nail art designs link me, I'd love to check them out!

Hello cutest top everrr, lacey white peplum beauty! Got it a while back actually, been wearing it so much! And paired with my favourite ever jeans I've ever owned! It's so easy to dress up or down, I wore it to a little house party with these jeans and my KILLER new look chunkys, and it was such a cute outfit, and I never had to worry about it. 

Thought I'd show my new medical bracelet as it'll be making regular appearances as it's got a really difficult clasp and I have absolutely no idea how to get it off my wrist, but yeah, new and shiny, but mostly just looks like a simple arm chain.

4 days and counting, birthday time is quickly upon us!

Oh how victorian this blouse makes me feel, had it for years and I still love it just as much. It's quite thin and it's an easy way to spice up a simple pair of jeans and plain pumps, a nice frilly top! And again, living in the Jade Jeggings, so soft, comfy and slimming, honestly my legs look incredible in them (not to sound too conceited, mind). These are the shoes I have been after for months! Been literally oggling them in work, but alas, they sold out of my size straight away, as per usual. But about a week ago we had a random replenishment tote in, and there they were! I must admit, I squealed a little bit.. But they are golden, honestly. They are soft, so no breaking in period! Can literally wear them to my hearts content and no blisters! They do really jazz up any plain outfit, and I also got a bag in work that matches them PERFECTLY (see here), it was the perfect day for shopping in work, that's the problem with working in Oasis, I earn the money and then in goes directly back in to their tills, sly boots..

I rediscovered my love for Model's Own polish yesterday! This blue is SO vibrant, people are really drawn to it haha! Something simple, but still pops without the hassle of adding nail art, just not feeling it this time, haha!

It's now only 11 days until my birthday! Eek, I guess I'll have to grow up soon... NAAAAHT. But me and mother went in town today, we've already got my birthday party dress (here) and we bought some gorgeous nude patent platforms from Debenhams, and then a matching patent bag from Next, (here and here), birthday outfit finally sorted! And 25 days until I move to London, oh my gosh. It's finally becoming real, me and mumma are getting emotional every evening with the same conversation "who is going to hug me when I go to bed up there, Em?" I love that woman, and will probably Skype her every night for that cuddle.. Bless..
