Mix Match Nail Art

Hey guys, I thought I would show you what's on my nails! I love love love mix match nail art because it's so different and unique. On my nails I did some purple glitter, a glittery galaxy type thing, a tie-dye and glitter nail, an ombre nail and a heart nail.




Before doing any design I used a base coat on all my nails. For my glitter nail I did 2 coats of white. Then I did a layer of small silver glitter. On top of that I did a couple of coats of purple glitter. This glitter has different sizes of glitter so I gives it a really cool effect.

For my galaxy nail I did a layer of very dark, almost black, purple. Then I did a very thin layer of metallic blue. Then I did lots of layers of the silver glitter, and the pink and blue glitter.

For my tie-dye nail I just did lots of random dots of light pink, hot pink and blue. Then I did a thin layer of the pink and blue glitter.

For the ombre nail I used a makeup sponge and put the pink and blue on it. Then I sponged that on my nail to blend them.

On the heart nail I did two layers of white for the base. Then for the heart I used the light pink and made a heart shape.

To finish this look I did a fast drying top coat on all the nails to make the design last longer.

June Favourites

Hey guys! Sorry that this blog post isn't amazing, I'm extremely sick but hopefully I be better soon. Today I'm going to show you what I have been loving in June.



I am loving Natio Pressed Powder in Light to set my makeup. It keeps everything in place and has a nice feel on the skin.

The Revlon Eyelash curler is amazing. I love using these to curl my lashes (obviously, hehe) and it keeps them curled all day.

I love using Maybelline Express Manicure Top Coat when I paint my nails. It's a quick drying top coat so it dries really fast and stops nails from chipping.

Modelista Eyeshadow Palette is a rainbow palette and the colours are amazing! They are high quality and have good pigment, except for the yellow colour. I will be doing a makeup look using this palette soon.

Manicare 512 Brush is a big, soft and fluffy brush. I use this for everything! I used it for powder, bronzer, blush and blending. It's an amazing brush and I would definitely recommended it.

Covergirl Professional Eye Enhancers in Country Woods is the most amazing neutral palette. It's amazing for travelling because its so small. I use the lightest matte shade all over my lid and on my brow bone. Then I use to chocolate brown in my crease and blend it out.

I have been wearing the Rimmel London Kate Moss 107 Lasting Finish Lipstick almost everyday. It's the perfect winter colour. I wear it during the day with bold brows and simple eyes. Then at night I put on a little more eyeliner to make it more dramatic. It's my new favourite lipstick.

That's what I have been loving this month. Again, sorry this isn't extremely interesting but I am super duper sick. Thanks.
