Chanel Tattoos, Nailene & Eyeko Lilac Polish.

Hello Girlies, hope you are all enjoying this fab weather we're having! I have been working so much recently, so any time i have had off has been spent trying to relax (not very successfully) so i apologise once again for the lack of posts on here! I have so much i want to blog about but just have so little time to do it, which bothers me! I love blogging, so promise to get all the posts done in the near future!

Anyway, just a little update - a while ago myself and Boo bought some Chanel temporary tattoos, which i hadn't really tried out until last week when i decided to wear one! It attracted lots of complimentary attention & i loved wearing it, i wore it round my wrist with bracelets as well, so it was quite subtle but still something a bit different :)

I took this photo about 2 days after i first put it on, so as you can see it lasted quite well! After about 4 days it starts to peel and rub away so i had to scrub it all off to avoid looking totally trashy! What do you think?

Next little thing i wanted to share with you was these fabbby false nails by Nailene! I'm sure you know by now, if you are a regular follower of my blog, that i don't review products (other than a few little words about retro lush bubble bars which i was on a mission to try out - need to continue this!). Nailene contacted me and sent me these nails to try out, which i can honestly say i was thinking about purchasing myself after reading Milly's (pearlsandpoodles.blogspot.com) review on them a couple of months ago :)

So this was a nice little treat!

My favourite of the bunch was by far these natural looking falsies, which i have actually re-purchased for myself since being sent some.

These are the Nailene "So Natural" - short length, square shaped (although i filed them into a much rounder shape, that i feel made them look more natural - more my thing!)

It is the first time i have used false nails that have fitted my nails comfortably and nicely, and not looked obviously fake. Another thing which i was surprised at was how well they stayed on. I wore these for work (my nail varnish ALWAYS gets totally ruined at work) but they stayed on surprisingly well and didn't get in the way. Lots of people commented on how natural they looked, which i was pleased about as i'm not too keen on an obviously fake appearance! All in all i'm very impressed with these nails, and like i said i have already re-purchased them from Boot's for around £6 :)

These next ones were just white plastic nail covers which i painted with Eyeko Lilac Polish (one of my absolute faves for summer). Again i love how they fitted on my nails and the glue was fab. I filed them to get a rounder shape, as i did with the natural ones, again so they didn't look to obviously fake!

Have you tried Nailene? Do you think that you might like to?

Hope everyone is happy & well :) xxx

Fashion Week.

♥

On Wednesday i went down to London to Graduate Fashion Week to see the gala show thanks to the lovely Emma who is the editor of the magazine i wrote for. I went down with Boo & we had such a good day, the show was absolutely amazing - hard to believe that there was such talent when they were only just graduates.

This is just a tiny super quick update post, i am so busy at the moment, but after next week i'll be back to blogging more! So much i want to post about, but just never find the time at the moment! Will also have lots more pictures from London of me, Boo, and the collections that we saw. Perhaps post some news on something new and exciting we are going to do as well. Got to love blogging secrets, hehe! Massive congratulations to Rebecca Thomson from Manchester university for winning the Gold award as well, her designs were beautiful. Congratulations to everyone else who won awards, or even 'just' had their collections shown, there wasn't one i didn't admire! It was so exciting to get my hands on the actual magazine i've written in as well, myself & Boo were like excited children when we first saw it!

Thank you again to Emma for a fab day & the opportunity to do the articles in the first place!

Hope everyone is ok xxx

Highlights in the sunshine.

I had my hair highlighted again last month & got some much lighter shades put through for the summer, which have now turned even lighter thanks to the lovely sunshine we've been having recently! Here are a couple of snapsies!

I'm liking it lots at the moment, good colour for going out in the sunshine! & i've been playing around with some different lipstick colours as well. I bought "Up The Amp" by MAC yesterday, it's quite dark for daytime, but i wore it mixed with GOSH "Darling" to tone it down a bit & fell totally in love. Have any of you tried it?

Driving, Girlies, Cocktails & Nachos!

Here are a few more photos from Friday evening when Boo, Rose, Beth and myself went to watch SATC2. We had pre cocktails & nachos in Old Orleans, where it was 2 for 1 on cosmopolitans - winner! On the way there, Boo papped me driving, you should all go and buy this little cupcake air freshener that you can see! It's from Accesorize and smells of strawberries and cream :)

We were given a little quiz thing to fill out whilst we were eating, with a load of SATC questions on, the winner would get tickets to go and see the film...kind of stupid seeing as everyone they were giving them out to was blatantly on their way to see it that night anyway! But we had a larf & the waiter accused us of using our blackberries to find the answers, which obviously was totally, completely not true..obviously!

We had such a laugh, it was a really good night. Unfortunately (and i am a massive massive SATC fan!) we all agreed that while the film was funny, and there were good bits, it could have been better, and there wasn't really much of a point/story line to it! - controversial i know, don't hate! I did still enjoy it, it just wasn't what i'd hoped for! Also, i had hiccups for about 45 minutes during the film after eating my nachos quicker than i've ever eaten before so that we could run across the road from the restaurant and wouldn't miss the beginning! I have never seen the cinema so packed!

I hope that everyone who has been to see it enjoyed it, and that everyone has a lovely bank holiday - i'm working as per!

Photoboothing around before SATC2

Just a quick picture post before i go back to work! Here's me & Boo being silly on photobooth before we went to watch SATC2 last night with my other girlies. Fab night - i will post more of the cocktail/eating/satc action in another post, hopefully tomorrow!

Have a good weekend everyone! Have you seen sex and the city yet? What did you think?

First of all, i just want to say a million thank yous to all of you who have been so lovely with your comments on the post below! It's so nice to have your support and for you to be excited for me! I didn't want it to be like "ugh who does she think she is!" So thank you, i really appreciate every single one of you!

Secondly, here a just a couple of pictures taken by my friend Rose that i thought i'd share with you. I look like a little dweeb, but there we go! I wanted to show off my sandals. I bought these in River Island a couple of weeks a go, and i absolutely love them. I may try and do a post dedicated to them at a later date because these photos don't really show them off to their advantage!

I haven't been blogging as much as usual recently, got lots going on! But i have a few things i want to post about, so i should be back on my gameeee soon!

I have bought my Sex & The City tickets for tomorrow night and i'm mega excited! I've been waiting for this for about 6 months, maybe even more (bit sad)! But i absolutely love it, i have the box set & it's rare that a day goes by when i don't watch a couple of episodes, haha. Should be a good girly night out :)

I'm sure lot's of you are also going to see it, so i hope we all love it & aren't disappointed!

Have a fab weekend girls xxx

Ps. You may have noticed in my sidebar there is now a link to a couple of my articles! The one that's going into the actual magazine isn't on though, so i will still scan that when i receive my copy.
