Bunnies, Chicks and Eggs - Easter's here!

Hello Lovelies! I thought I'd say a very quick hello and wish you all a happy Easter!

I had a bit of spare time yesterday afternoon so I thought a little Easter themed nail art would be fun. A few little chicks and the easter bunny sprang to mind as a cute idea, what else could be better for Easter?!!

I used the regular nail polish brush to do the main shape of the bunny (the white part) and chicks (the yellow). I added details like the beaks and bunny's nose using toothpicks dipped in polish. The eyes were just a dot of black with a smaller dot of white on top.

One of the best things about living in Korea is that nail art like this is quite normal, whereas in England some people might think it was a bit too cutesy or childish, here I can wear it with total pride! Today at the hairdresser a few people complimented me on them and one woman asked which nail place I'd had them done. I'm not sure they look that good but I can't deny I was pretty chuffed when she said that, I gave myself a little pat on the back! Clearly it was an afternoon well spent!

As for how my hair went...

I took the plunge and had a slight ombre look done but I'm not sure about it just yet! I feel like it's not actually defined enough, which funnily, is the exact opposite problem to what I was worrying about. Typical, huh?!

I'm going to wash it and style it myself tomorrow to try and make my mind up on it. Does anyone else find that your hair can look so different once you've done it yourself?

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Spring Pastel Water Marbled Nails - My 1st Video!

This morning I've been a busy bee. If you follow me on twitter I mentioned yesterday that I was thinking of trying to water marble my nails. I wasn't too sure how it'd turn out though and I was worried it could be too hard to do. Well I decided to go for it...

...and..

..I'm so happy with how it turned out!

It really wasn't as hard as I'd been thinking it would be. Yes, I'll admit it wasn't a total breeze, I re-did a couple of the first few nails but once I'd done a few I really got the hang of it! They don't look perfect but they definitely don't look like the globby mess I'd envisaged them ending up as!

I decided to make a very basic video tutorial, not because one successful attempt makes me a pro but just to help anyone else who wants to give it a try. It's my first video ever and also my very first upload to YouTube. Eeek! So...I'm really hoping you'll all watch it and that you all find it useful!

Let me know what you think! I haven't included audio because I wasn't sure if everyone would be ready for the British accent and I'm a little nervous about talking in videos, I might work up to it one day though!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Cute Thanksgiving Nail Art Ideas

I'm English so Thanksgiving isn't something I get to celebrate. Believe me, I wish I could, I've seen all the yummy food you get to eat! It also seems like a lovely Christmas warm-up! Anyway, I have a lot of American friends here and last year one of them even had my boyfriend and I round for thanksgiving dinner. My first ever and the first time I tried pumpkin pie! A travesty, I know! This year I was thinking it would be fun to paint my nails with a cute thanksgiving nail art design.When browsing the internet I came across the cutest nail tutorial that I'd love to try. I thought I'd share it with you guys, it's a Turkey!

Isn't it so cool and cutesy! I'm hopefully going to give it a go. If the turkey's aren't really your thing then there was another couple of thanksgiving suitable designs that looked great. A kind of leaf pattern and a simple criss-cross pattern that's meant to look like cherry pie I think! You can check them out and see the full Thanksgiving nail art tutorials on the Refinery 29 website.
