NOTD #3

Hello hello!

The other day I was watching this video by MissJenFabulous on youtube, and really liked the feather nail she did. I don't have any nail art pens so this was trickier for me but I managed ok..I think! haha.


So this is how mine turned out. I personally like it because it is very messy, almost abstract. 

I cannot stop staring at my nails! I just love these!!



The colors I've used are Sally Hansen Xtreme... in Mint Sorbet, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue-Away, and the feathers are painted with Orly's Naughty (yet again!). I really like this color combination but you could choose any colors you feel like using! I will definitely try this with different colors next time (:

The design takes a bit of practice since it is a bit difficult if you're using a small paintbrush like I did. But I think it would be very easy with a  nail art pen. I just took the smallest paintbrush I have and drew a line, then tapped on little lines on each side. 

But overall, I reeeally like these and will definitely be doing this again in the future. I will probably do another NOTD if I decide to re-create this look in different colors (:

**Little Note: I will be gone from tomorrow (the 19th) to Wednesday (the 22th). I will probably not post anything while I'm there, but I will do a week in photos/vacation in photos when I get back and probably a haul since I know I'm going to shop till I drop! Hahah!

But until Thursday, I hope you all have a wonderful week and don't forget to smile and have fun (: 
(that was a run on sentence! haha)

OOTD #1

Howdy everyone and happy Wednesday ^^

So today I've been planning outfits to wear on my family trip to the US and found a little 5 minutes to take pictures of the outfit I am wearing today. I am not doing anything special today, just hanging around the house and washing clothes. But I always like to dress up no matter what so I thought I'd accessorize a little bit more than necessary and do an OOTD for today's post.

This is an overview of my outfit. I apologize for the mirror pictures..I don't have a tripod or anything to hold my camera for me so the mirror comes in very handy for me!

My top is a slight high-low sweater from H&M that used to belong to my sister so you probably can't find it in stores anymore. It's a very pretty navy color even though you can't really tell from the pictures. I tucked the front piece inside my pants so my belt could show.

My necklace is from H&M (again) and I bought this when I was in 8th grade (I am now going in 11th) so I highly doubt this exact one isn't available in store but you can find similar ones pretty much everywhere jewelry is sold! 

The smaller bracelets in the center are from a local store which I don't think I'm allowed to name so I won't. The two others on each ends are from Target. My nails are painted in Orly's "Naughty".

My colored jeggins are from Garage. They are the comfiest pants ever! I don't think they have Garage in the UK but if you're ever in the US or Canada, check out Garage's jeggins! They're so worth it!! 
My shoes are from Costa Blanca and they're very old..sorry! I feel like everything I'm showing is very old and cannot be bought anywhere anymore! haha

I bought this belt at globo shoes over March Break..or spring break, however you call it. I checked online if you could still buy them but didn't find them. It came in a pack of two: this one and a golden glittery one. The thing I like the most about these is that the glitter does not shed or go everywhere.


My hair is second day straight (which means ish wavy). I did a subtle snake braid and attached it with a flower clip from H&M, I did not find the exact same ones I bought but these are pretty similar. Mine have three small roses bunched in one, but the ones I found are just one big rose.

Well anyways, that's it for my first OOTD. I hope you've enjoyed it ^^

Have a nice day (:
