NOTD - Mint Pearl Vintage Nails ft HugoSophia Crystal Rings

Hello there lovely readers!

Today's nails feature a spot o' bling detail in the form of some pretty crystal stack rings, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle eh? But more on those later. For this mani I went down the vintage route leaving a half moon at the bottom of the nail bare. I love this style of manicure, so chic!

Review - Va Va Voom Volume with Hot Hair Brianna Hair Piece

Hello there lovely readers!

Now when it comes to hair styling...I am extremely boring. As much as I would love to be a pro, no matter how many YouTube videos I watch, it always ends up an epic fail. Therefore because of this, & due to the long length, I am a bona fide straightener addict. And as much as I enjoy having long, straight hair therein lies one issue...NO VOLUME. Behold...

NOTD - "Flow" inspired by Fashion Designer Eva Cammarata

Hello there lovely readers!

I'm especially excited for the weekend already, as I'll be heading to London for the Swap In The City and Fashion's Finest collaboration event for London Fashion Week, where I'll be getting my mani on! This is my first event for London Fashion Week so I'm a mixture of ecstatic & terrified but its something that I've wanted to be a part of for ages so I can't wait & am very grateful & excited to be a part of it.

The event consists of two days of fashion shows, exhibitions & fun Swap In The City clothes swaps, where a number of superbly talented designers will be showcased at The Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden.

One of these designers is Sicily born Eva Cammarata, whose collections are inspired by Nature, Arts & Philosophy. Not only are her designs beautiful & colourful but Eva's brand is also a fair trade ethical luxury label, using organic & biotech fibers that moisturise the skin of the wearer. And I've used one of her creations as inspiration for today's manicure! I fell in love with this piece, FLOW, with its mixture of blue & sparkle so couldn't wait to rustle up some nail art!

Product Love - LUSH Feeling Younger Skin Tint Review

Hello lovely readers!

Now I, like I'm sure many of you out there, am forever on a mission looking for that healthy, glowing, youthful skin reminiscent of mystical Elven beings that all women strive for. So any product which claims to give such an effect to my skin will draw me to it like a magpie to sparkles.

One such product that has made it to one of my top beauty products of 2014 & which I feel has succeeded in making my skin GLOW is the Feeling Younger Skin Tint from LUSH. LUSH is a brand I'm sure you're familiar with for their divine bath products yet I have discovered that there are few stellar make up bits & bobs hidden amongst those soaps & bath bombs too. Their liquid eye liners which I've blogged HERE are particularly pretty!

NOTD - Negative Space Lilac Metal Nails

Hello there lovely readers!

So alas we in the South East of England finally got hit by this buggering snow! I say alas as I'm afraid I'm a bit Scrooge like when it comes to this particular frozen element form. Trust me when you commute by car long distance on a daily basis you'll be the same! Fingers crossed it won't get worse but if it does hopefully it'll be when one is at home, can you imagine anything worse than being snowed in at work? o_O
