Something You - Winter Nails

Winter Nails

I thought I would do my first tutorial style blog post, as I had an idea for Winter inspired nails! I know it's not perfect, but try to look past the rough edges! Hope you like this...

 

Step One: Start off by painting your nails with one-two coats of white nail polish and wait until they have completely dried. 

 

Step Two: It is important that they are completely dry, otherwise this next step will ruin them! Next you will need to use some nail tip guides and place them half way up your nail.

 

Step 3:  Paint over the nail with a baby blue nail polish. I used Maybelline's Super Stay Gel Nail Colour in Sea Sky. Again I would suggest using two coats.

  

Step 4: Once the polish is COMPLETELY dry(!) gently peel off the tip guide...

 

Step 5: Lastly you will need to go over the whole nail with a clear glitter coat. This is actually really good if your nail painting isn't so neat because the glitter can disguise imperfections sometimes! 

So there you have it! Let me know if you like it :) Once again, sorry if the tutorial isn't perfect, I just hope it could give you an idea of how to create this look yourself x

Something You - What I love about Autumn/Winter!

What I love about Autumn/Winter!

Picture this... The rain pouring down outside with the frosty cold wind that accompanies the Winter season (I'm really selling it so far). However your are nice and warm with your pjs on and the softest blanket around you while you're sipping on a smooth cup of hot chocolate watching Disney movies. HOW GREAT DOES THAT SOUND!?

I think the beginning of Autumn is my favourite season! It is such a nice feeling when you realise that you can now finally wear your winter coat and clothes :)

I just feel like Summer is always disappointing, you may get a week of wonderful sunshine, but unless you go abroad then that is usually it! At least with the later part of the year you can be sure of the weather.

Not only this but I don't feel so guilty about staying in and doing cosy things such as watching the telly or writing blog posts (Very important things!).

So what do you like about Autumn/Winter the best? Hopefully it's not the end of it that you prefer! I'll tell you one other thing, the best thing about it... CHRISTMAS! Who's counting down?
