My NYC Nails

Classy Glassy, Oh SoHo Sweet & Lights-Camera-Glitter (£2.49 each from Superdrug)
Bodycare, 99p!

So this is probably one of my favourite things to do with my nails, it's great for going out on the town!
I start of with a coat of 'Classy Glassy', which dries super quick, then around 2 to 3 coats of 'Oh SoHo Sweet' as it's quite thin and really pale. I then use 1 coat of 'Lights-Camera-Glitter' as I find 2 coats is too glittery for my preference and this also dries really quick. Finally I use 2 coats of 'Classy Glassy' as 2 coats gets rid of the glittery, rough texture.

I only wear false nails every now and then because they're not great for your nails. I wear them if I go out or sometimes if I feel like it! I usually pay a bit more money than this for nails as I used to buy them a lot when I was younger and I found that the cheaper option was usually rubbish and broke and what not. But I found these in Bodycare and I thought I'd give them a chance as plain nails like these usually thicken up when you glue and paint them anyway.
But I think these are great and really good quality! They're only 99p and you get 3/4 of each size nail (I think there's 7 different sizes) so you can use the same pack more than once, I think I've used mine twice now. They also stay on for about 3 to 4 days but for the price, you can't complain! The only criticism I have is that they're supposed to be short and I have to cut them down quite a bit as they're quite long when you glue them on, although I do have really short nails.

So there you go! A low budget, great nail design for a bit of sparkle! Love it!

Wishlist


So I recently gained a good sum of money from when I was an extra in Emmerdale for a day and a half so I've been on the internet and looking at things that in reality I can't actually buy because I should really save my money... I've fancied buying myself some new things for when I start uni which is why I've been internet shopping like crazy!! It's a new start so I feel like I need new things, why not?

About 18 months ago, when I got my first ever wage, I bought myself a Cath Kidston purse and I still use it to this day and it still looks brand new! So I fancy treating myself to a new one and I've found these two that I like which I may buy in the near future. They're a little pricey but since my current purse has lasted so long, I don't mind paying.

I've wanted a new leather jacket for ages as I don't like the one I have now (well, my mum now has it) as it has elasticated wrists and it doesn't feel that fashionable. I've been looking around for a while and they're all sooo expensive and I found this from H&M which is a decent price!

I don't have much to say on the other 2, I just really want them :P

Meeting and Greeting Mcfly, 22.7.12

So I need to start off by saying I apologise as I was going to do this post ages ago but I've never got round to it... Or posting anything for that matter. I've been super busy and I've been here, there and everywhere!

 
 
Well what can I say? AMAZING!
So for the second year running we went to Mcfly's Manchester Meet and Greet. Some say "How did you get this?" Well the simple fact is, we pay £70 a year to subscribe to their website and become 'Annual + Pioneers' (if you wish to know more on this subject, I suggest checking out their website because I'd just confuse you!) You basically get around 45 minutes to wander around a room where Danny, Harry, Tom and Dougie are each stood in a corner and you get to chat to them and have photos with them and it's just amazing! I recommend anyone taking up an opportunity like this with their favourite band!

I really don't have anything else to say without getting over excited and spamming on the keyboard! It's also pretty wordless to describe these days; I got to meet 4 of my idols, who would be able to describe that?
