Spring Nails

So it may not have been Spring weather in the past fortnight but my nails have been looking very Spring like. I always get so many compliments on my nails and they've definitely brightened those dull grey days.

As soon as I got my hands on the Barry M Gelly paints in Greenberry and Dragon Fruit I immediately had to use them. They are such an amazing product, so glossy, dries quickly and such vibrant colours. They also lasted longer than usual, which could be an improved formula for Barry M.

Barry M Gelly in Dragon Fruit (pink) and Greenberry (green) £3.99 each 

 I went for something different by painting my hands opposite ways. I've become really bored of all one colour nails and like to paint my thumb and ring finger a different colour to the others. As I was trying out these colours I thought it would be nice to do them opposite ways. The pink is lovely for a more subtle look whereas the green is much more in your face. 

This week I really wanted to go for an Easter inspired theme. It took me ages to choose the order of these colours as I never want blue and green next to each other, or pink and purple because they're so close. I intended to add a glitter top coat but had a mad week at work and they've worn down so I'll change them tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to my time off!

 Models Own: Jade Stone, Lilac Dream, Lemon Meringue, Beth's Blue and Soda Pop Pink £5 each

I love this combination! Its so pretty and girlie and perfect for so many occasions. I saw one of the Saturdays pictured with neon colours on different nails. It looked so good I can't wait to re-do it. I bought some more Models Own this week which I'm excited to try. My boyfriend wanted to pick for me but I have so many it was hard! I got one from the scented collection and one of the Ice Neons but I'd like more...

Happy Easter everyone! Hope its full of family time and of course plenty of chocolate on the side

Sunday Summary #34

I'm sat writing this after cooking my first ever roast for my boyfriend. Absolutely stuffed! I've the worst habit of making/cooking too much food haha. My boyfriend watched the film 2012 while I cooked, I really don't (want to) believe the world will end on the 21st December 2012...just a few months away! I've missed most of the film preparing the roast so no idea what's going on except the world is ending. I'm amazed at myself this week...no clothes shopping! I am majorly lusting after the H! by Henry Holland grey Owl jumper link, but at £38 I couldn't bring myself to spend that much. I said to my boyfriend I'll miss it when its reduced, and it went down to £30.40 online and is sold out! I love anything with an Owl on and heard Marks and Spencers are doing an Owl jumper so will go and look. Then I saw the cutest Owl bag in Accessorize today. Owl obsession!
The only shopping I've done this week was today. Quick trip round town with my boyfriend but most things I saw I'll go back with my birthday money for. Found some bargains in TK Maxx. Ever since I got my lipstick holder in there I've really come around to the shop and often go and look for stuff as I always see on Twitter and blogs about items in there but I never find them in mine. Couldn't believe my luck when I found Models Own triple boxsets!  The Beatrix Potter tins were such a find too. Words can't express how in love with them I am. They've got tea in which my boyfriend can't wait to drink and once they're empty I'll use them for something. Too cute to leave. Mum got me the sweetest panda gloves in Primark Oxford Street as she went to see the Olympians Parade with my brother on Monday. I've done a few Christmas shopping bits this week too. Two of them are things I need to work on so I had to buy them in enough time to get sorted.

This week its my birthday on Thursday, 24! I've got this week off work so should have more photos next week and more adventures. Lots of plans and a trip to Matalan so hoping for some new bits :)

Birthday presents so far :) 

I'd been told about white Lion bars in a 99p store in my town but when we got there I discovered they also did normal Lion bars and Peanut ones so got one of each. Love using pretty cases for my baking and the shower gel smells lovely, I love Jasmine! I already have a black Models Own Smash-Up but I've wanted Jade Stone for ages and although I have a big list for the Models Own sale I couldn't resist a bargain like this. I'm getting through quite a bit of Batiste as I grow my hair and wash it once a week. This stuff is a life saver and the cherry one is my favourite. I rarely pay full price for Batiste as you can always pick it up on offer and Superdrug regularly do their better than half price on it so I got another can. I'm keeping my birthday presents in my living room to avoid peeking/feeling/looking/shaking temptations. 

That's it for this week! Off to the cinema tomorrow to see Lawless, heard so many good things about it and can't wait to see the Sweeney asap. 

Hope you've all had good weeks

Lego House

Been awol again, just not had the time to even consider blogging let alone do it. Really thought everything would calm down in the new year as we adjusted to a new routine and structure in life but just been so busy. 
Went to see the girl with the dragon tattoo at the cinema. Amazing. I'd seen endless raves about Rooney Mara and can totally see why. Very rare for me to really enjoy a film so was quite surprised I did as it isn't my usual cup of tea. But then I don't watch many films so I couldn't even say what my sort of film is! 


Its made me quite curious to read the books. If it really is two years until the next film I so want to know what happens. I'm still to read the Twilight saga so if I can do them I'll try the Millennium trilogy. Actually missed seeing Breaking Dawn at the cinema as my Cineworld stopped screening it Boxing Day and I'd planned to go a few days later. Hopefully it won't be long until the dvd release. 


I haven't bought any make-up recently, sad times. Bought plenty of clothes and my wardrobe rail buckled again. Definitely need to buy a new one as mine is so pulled down with the weight I'm hoping a new one will be stronger. But I have finally got a second wardrobe so when I decide what goes where I'm hoping to charity some old clothes. 


Really hoping my friend Mike will decorate his room this year. I love nothing more than doing a room from scratch and would love for him to do it. I'm very tempted to re-decorate my room but I love the colour scheme too much so probably going to do some stencils instead. 


Made a start on my Easter presents already. I was shopping in Tescos and spotted these

I've never seen them before but they were too cute to miss. 

 I've lied. I did buy make-up this month! I forgot I got this one lunch time, Mike tried to stop me as I asked him not to let me. But I did need mascara and the eyeshadow quad came free. What would you do?

Hope you're all well. Off for Chinese tomorrow night. 
Life is good :)
