Top 5 Spring Nail Picks 2014

With spring come the pastels, and oh how I love the continuous trend. If you live in the not so sunny UK (like myself), sun doesn't really make an appearance till around June so till then, coats are still a tiring staple. A Pastel offering is but a way to still celebrate spring without attempting a day without the coat and thoroughly regretting the awful decision. 

Deborah Lippmann | SPRING REVERIES | Spring 2014

*PR Sample

Pastels make their mark just about every spring, and this year is certainly no different. Deborah Lippmann has released six fabulously opaque polishes in the Spring Reveries collection; all of which I'm dying to get my hands on! 

THOUGHTS: Rimmel Apocalips in 'Across the Universe'

 Since Rimmel's Release in early 2013, the Apocalips hadn't really crossed my mind until a few new shades were let loose around christmas. 'Across the Universe' immediately caught my eye, being a darker blue toned red. Not to mention the fact that I witnessed Susie from Hello October swoon over this particular shade just days before on both her Youtube channel and Blog. That alone lured me in to eventually caving. 

NOTD #5 : Halloween

Nail art will always hold a precious place in the heart for introducing me to this world of beauty. Before starting A levels I had all the time in the world and the majority of that time was spent getting creative with my nails. However depressing it may be to start getting older, it just has to be done. So 1 and a half years in and I have only been squeezing in the time to do seasonal designs ... halloween being the one I get a tad too excited about.

My 'Go To' Berry Lip Combination

LEFT- Plumful | MIDDLE- Double Dare | RIGHT- plumful layered with double dare 

Due to the drastic temperature changes in this lovely place we call England, I can now officially say it is Autumn. Now, I'm not all too into the colder months as I much prefer the shorts and tee look but make up is something that I quite look forward to changing up, what with the more dark vampy tones in season. 

MAC LIPSTICK: Vegas Volt

Being a lip junky, every time I enter the realm of MAC, the lip counter always seems to draw me in like a fat kid with cake and I end up walking out with a new lip product without myself even realising it.. I know that is surely classed as some sort of problem but this colour was just to perfect to pass up. 

I absolutely adore coral lips through the summer or if I feel daring enough then sporting it through winter is by no means out of line. I know summer is sadly drawing to a close but I feel like purchasing this shade is helping me to prolong that summer feeling. 

NailArt: My Justin Bieber Design

So I know Justin Bieber isn't to everyones taste but I guess you could call me a fan.. that has more than a few posters and a cardboard cut out but I promise I'm not a crazy stalker! 

Anyways, I love nail art and it's something that I have been doing for quite a while now so I thought it would be good to start posting some of my nail designs on here just to add a bit of variety.

For this design I used:- 

• BARRY M- 

white, lemon ice cream, bright purple, magenta glitter, black and white. 

(as you can tell, I'm a bit obsessed with Barry M polishes!)

• NailArt striper polishes (for the lines and piano)-  you can easily find these online on Ebay and Amazon for a reasonable price

• Dotting Tools - You can also find these on Ebay and Amazon for just a few pounds and they will be so useful if you want to carry on experimenting with nailArt 

In the future I may start doing a step by step post on some of my designs,

Love
