Heart Nails and Sophee's Giveaway!

I had my first dabble into nail art today! It took a while and it isn't perfect but I had loads of fun and hopefully I'll get better!

HEARTS HEARTS HEARTS HEARTS! 

I thought this would be cute and not terribly difficult to draw. Hopefully it'll last a while!

I used my Maybelline Lilac nailpolish (from a haul) and some very old 17 red nailpolish. I drew the hearts out on sellotape with a cocktail stick before moving them with tweezers to my nails (some of them are a little bit wonky so don't look too close :P).

Also, I'm really excited about a giveaway from a blog that I only found recently but I keep checking now: Sophee - Make up, Fashion and Everything in Between. She's seems like such a lovely girl with loads of good insights :)

Anyway, I really love the purse she's giving away at the moment - it's such a vibrant colour and looks so grown up and classy. ^.^

Sunshine nails!

I decided to paint my nails cute summery colours because it's been so hot recently! I used sky blue and sunshine yellow because to me they look summery and dreamy :) They were already a bit chipped in the photo :( but this is because I had a long day travelling home from university and had to go on the tube and icky things like that... so forgive the chips!

The nail varnishes I used were Lemon Meringue and Bloo-Bloo by Models Own. I really do not see enough about these, for me while they aren't quite the same quality as Opi, Essie or Nails Inc I think they have an amazing colour range, are very opaque in just one coat and last well. I'm perticularly impressed by Lemon Meringue, as I didn't want to spend too much money on a yellow nail varnish but ended up buying two as the one I initially bought from Collection 2000 was so disappointing :( It was almost a little bit mustardy rather than the sunshine yellow I was looking for, however Lemon Meringue really hits the spot for me as a good, yet reasonably priced varnish.

Sorry the photos aren't so good, I'm just getting used to the settings. I'm thinking of doing some ideas for summery outfits while I'm home this weekend so expect another post soon.
