Daisy Nails

I am an avid follower of Vic's blog at www.hashtaggollygosh.com and she recently posted about her camo and daisy nails. Needless to say I saw them and fell in love! I wanted to recreate them entirely, however I'm so snowed under with MA work right now, that I don't really have much time to dedicate to blogging/YouTube and beauty or fashion stuff generally, which is making me a bit sad to be honest. So I had blue nail polish on from the weekend and decided to put daisy's on top of that to save some time. All I did was apply more of Barry M's Cobalt Blue to the tips of my nails where I had nail wear, then added some daisy's using a dotting tool and white and yellow polishes, both by Rimmel, then the Barry M top and base coat. You could also use a kirby grip or a toothpick and any polishes of your choice. I'm happy with the results and I can only improve on my nail art as I'm still an amateur!

Would you rock daisy nails for summer? I can see me putting daisy's on coral polish for a boho look in the summer. Would be pretty for festival season! (Not that I can go to any this year, annoyingly!) Also, please let me know what you think of the new blog layout!

Last week I decided to channel an 80s hair metaller. I had to go to bed one night with wet hair (as everyone went to bed early and I couldn't use the hairdryer and my hair takes literally all day to dry). As a result I put my hair in small braids, went to sleep, and woke up with voluminous crimped hair that my inner 80s child was immensely happy with. When I was little my mum used to sit for ages and plait my hair like this to create these crimps, until we eventually bought a crimping iron which made it quicker. The good thing about getting this look to your hair is, you can do it heat and hassle free.

"Woah! Livin' on a prayer!"

I also decided to try and replicate a look I'd seen in magazines of late; pastel orange eye shadow brought up to the brow, with a pink lip. This make up is the result of this test. I got many a strange look walking around North Wales like this!

Would you ever rock crimped hair or a pastel orange eye? I quite liked it and my boyfriend kept telling me how nice I looked. I'm sure most of you will hate it!
