Pedicure Mash Up

Ok so a Katey Perry and Pirates of the Caribbean are not to concepts that usually end up together in a mash up. Before you stress this isn't what you think.

As I am a massive OPI fan I recently indulged in a couple of colours from their 2011 collections. Firstly the cute pink of "Sparrow me the drama" from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection and then the stunning sparkles of "teenage dreams" from the Katey Perry collection.

Needless to say I was having an ultra cute 'barbie' inspired moment. So whats a girl to do when she has to super cute polishes at home and can't figure which to wear first. Yep that's right she wears both. So here's the result of using the both.

Basically VERY PINK and VERY SPARKLY, which was PERFECT for the mood I was in. So if your up for some sparkles and want to indulge your cute side go grab a bottle.

Lots of LuV from sparkle city

Nail Art

A couple of weeks ago MsJeni did this super cute design for spring for me. However with MsJeni on leave what is a girl to do when her nails need to be 'refreshed'. Well she goes out and buys herself a starter nail art kit.

I picked up this little kit for $16 which included 3 polishes (white, black and silver) and 30 designs to use. It was actually really easy to use. Just stick on the stencil, fill in the gaps with the polish, let dry for a minute then remove stencil and there you have it. I started with a simple design but I think a few more attempts and I'll start marking some really cool designs.

Look what i did

After being inspired by Violet Le Beaux this simple packet of sparkles turned my USB drive from dull to dazzling! My USB is now covered with Smiggle ghosts on one side and LOTS of sparkles on the other. There is no way you could ever mistake my USB for anyone elses, plus it was super easy to do.

1) pick stickers
2) ensure drive is clean and dry
3) put stickers on
4) let dry/set for 30 mins
5) done, plug in and get online

Tiptoe

So in a moment of weakness, ok there wasn’t really much twisting of arms, I went and had a pedicure while up north, and found a nice little place to get some toenail art done. Like normal I’ve only gone for one nail on each foot, firstly as I didn’t want to over do it and secondly the design space on toes is a lot smaller. I’ve embraced the pastels that seem to be coming through this autumn and gone for pale blue with a star motive of black and silver. Its nice and subtle and still amazing to see the ladies do these designs free hand. If your thinking about nail art but not ready to dive in I do suggest this as a great starting point, especially if you have a dress code at work as this is something you can do without having to worry about the boss.

Thank you Ms Jeni

Ms Jeni has out done herself again. It was a very simple theme, navy and sailor inspired. I figured with the new influx of navy outfits from Kitten D'Amour it seemed the smart change the nail colors to fit the outfits. The design is meant to be wave inspired.
