Nails #2

Wednesday, June 06, 2012








For the Jubilee I decided (like everyone else) to paint my nails in appropriate dress. So out came the red, white and blue nail polish. My original plan was to buy a new MUA white nail polish but as usual my Superdrug was out of stock of the colour I needed. So I decided to dig out some old white polish to use instead.

I did the usual nail care routine before I started. Cut, file etc. I then applied the red and blue on each nail. I waited around 10 minutes for them to dry completely. (I find that MUA nail polishes take around 3/4 coats for bold colour). I then applied a clear coat of polish. I waited for a good few hours before I decided to tackle the polka dots.

For polka dots I use an old hair grip/bobby pin. I separated the grip and then dipped the end in the white nail polish. I then dabbed it on my nails (as neat as I could). I then applied another top coat to keep the polish in place.

I finished off with a good blob of Elizabeth Arden eight hour hand cream!

And that's my easy polka dot nail look. I'm going to be tackling different nail art looks so look out for those in the future!

Today is my 100th post! I have been blogging now for 5 months, and I've been enjoying every minute of it! I am hoping for a bit of a re-design. But nothing too different. I'm currently discussing ideas with my friend who is amazing at drawing and so creative!

Another day another polka dot dress. I think I have around 6 polka dot dresses now. Oooops. I am planning on getting a polka dot skirt soon. I think I need help!

I officially finish my first year of uni on Friday! And can't wait to celebrate with a meal!

My haircare post has been filmed, I'll be encoding it today and it will be up tomorrow!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It would be amazing if you could vote for me in the Cosmo Blog Awards. I know I don't stand much of a chance but oh well! I'd be over the moon if you could give me a vote!
