♥ Models Own Aqua Violet

Models Own Aqua Violet, Beetle Juice collection

Here is the the second of the Models Own polishes I bought (here).

The shade is called "Models Own Aqua Violet" and is also from the Beetle Juice collection. That name pretty much describes what it is, aqua-blue with hints of purple. It's a shame you can't see the purple shades more though, but I managed to bring it out in some of the pics.

So the last polish I tried (here) was very very sheer. So to prevent my nail-line from showing again I used a nude polish from MUA as a base. After that I used two coats of the polish and finished with one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

So the main colour is really blue, but you can see a bit of purple

This is what the colour looks like most of the time. "aqua-blue"

Have you tried this or any other polishes from the Beetle Juice collection?

♥ Tribal Prints at H&M , Fashion Against Aids

H&M Fashion Against Aids 2012

I'm not one to hype H&M's limited collections but I had to share this one. It will be in store on the 26th April in the Divided sections. I really really like this collection so I put together two collages of my favorites. So many Tribal and Aztec prints!

My favorites in this collage are the Aztec/Tribal print Bustier and the Shorts with the same print. The dress is really cute too.

 I looove this bikini. I also really like the silver bangle and the skirt.

The pictures are from HM.com and the collages are made by me.

Which ones are your favorites?

♥ Models Own Beetlejuice, NOTD

I picked up this Models Own polish yesterday from the Beetlejuice collection. If you live in West London you should check out their stand in Westfield shopping center, they opened last week!

I wanted to buy two shades initially but there was a 3 for £12 offer so I got three polishes in a super cute little box.

If you want to see the other shades I got click HERE

 This is from the Beetlejuice collection and the shade is called  Indian Ocean, NP133

So I did manage to capture all the different shades in the polish. The main shade is light blue, with pink and yellow shimmer as you can see.

I did know that this sort of polish are never very covering. I actually lost Count how many coats I used for this. It was 4 or 5 though which is not very good.

My nail line is still visible but bare in mind thought that mine are really white (more than normal, apparenlt), so it might be that mine are more visible.

It is a lovely colour though and you can literally see all the shades at the same time, really cool!

Have you tried these polishes, if you have, send the link :)
What do you think of min?

♥ DIY- Protein Avocado Hair Treatment

DIY: Homemade avocado and egg hair mask

I think we all know by now that sometimes, your hair needs extra protein. This is because your hair is made by keratin (a protein). It is especially important when you have chemically treated hair, which means you have dyed, bleached, relaxed your hair etc. The reason this homemade hair mask gives your hair protein is because of the egg.

I want to share an easy DIY protein hair mask with you :)

 I put in: Coconut Oil, Honey, 1 Avocado, 1 egg, Sweet Orange Oil & Shea Butter

Put everything in your blender and start mixing!

This is what it will look like

What it looked like in my hair

Tips:

-Add an essential oil like Orange or Peppermint to make it smell nice

- Rinse it out in cold water unless you want fried egg in your hair :) 

Have you done a hair mask like this?

Or any other interesting recipes you want to share?

♥ DIY: Studded Denim Vest & Studded Denim Shorts

Im really excited to share my latest DIY!

I've been meaning to order studs for soo long and since I recently bought both a denim vest and a pair of Levi's shorts to stud, ordering them was way overdue!

Anyway, I found I site I'm really happy with. It's a UK based site and I ordered these on Thursday and received them on Saturday.

The website is www.josyrose.com

Here is a mini "how to stud a denim vest- tutorial". The pictures are moving so just keep looking!

 Also, when your dealing with a thick fabric like denim, make sure you push the sharp ends in properly.

 

This is the result, I really like it!

DIY studded Levi's shorts- these are not finished though.

I also decided to spice up my army jacket. So here you go- Army Jacket with golden studs! I really like this.

 Last but not least, I bought this from H&M months ago, for £5 on Sale. Initially I though I'd put collar tips on it, but since I had some spare studs I decided to create my own "Stud- Collar Tips"

What do you think?

Which one do you prefer more, and have you done something like this (please share)

♥ Smokey MUA

I decided to do a smokey eye look using only MUA (Make up Academy) eyeshadows.

I only used two different shades, this black one from the MUA glitterbomb palette.

And this MUA single eyeshadow. This shade is such a cool colour, initially when I bought it I thought it was grey. It's not, it's kind of dark brown with green shades coming out in different lighting.

This swatch shows quite an accurate colour, a grey/green metallic with browns in it.

What do you think of this look?

♥ Turquoise Pastel Polish & Glitter

Today I'm going to share a polish I really like. I have shown it before but since everyone is sharing their spring and pastel polishes, I wanted to show that you can find great quality ones, for hardly nothing!

This is £1 from the brand Gabrini, I've shown it before:
-The polish (here)
-The polish+glitter (here)

This is two coats (even though one coat is almost covering enough), with NO top coat.
Look how glossy it is?

This is what the polish looks like!

Here is the second version, using a La Colors (also £1) polish on top. I used two coats this time, in the old post (the one I link in the beginning), I think I only used one.

Here is with a top coat on, Seche Vite.

So glossy!

La Colors Mint green glitter polish shade: Treasure Island

& Gabrini Nail polish "summer edition" shade: 107

 

 How do you like these, 
do you try cheap brands like these, or do you automatically think they wont be any good?

♥ First Video Tutorial- Pastel Leopard Print Nails

Hi Everyone!

So I've just done my first video tutorial. This one is on how to create leopard print nails, this is the second time ever I've done it, the first time is the one that you can see in my header.

This time I used a slightly different method to create them.

If you like it, pleae give a thumbs up :)

I hope you liked it! Also, it's only my third time using iMovie so I really hope that the tutorial is good enough to understand. Was really struggling to place my camera as well to show my nails, so I ended up placing it awkwardly on a pillow on my bed lol.

I finished of with Seche Vite top coat.

Was the video ok?
Have you made leopard print nails, if so, share the post with me :D

& did you use another method?

My eyebrow isn't done and I know there's like a gap between my lashes and my eyeliner, oh well it was just a quick thing.

 All these colours are from my E.L.F palette.
