Pointy Nails! NOTD

So I decided to go for a change from my normal square shaped nail! 

I don't really like the rounded nail shape on my nails and wanted to go for something a bit different! I have seen a lot of the 'Rihanna' style nails but I haven't seen it on real nails only acrylics.... But while at work the other day I accidentally broke a nail into this shape, which is ironically the worst shaped nail I have now, so I thought I would give it a go and give them all a re-shape! 

So here it is...

So here they are with the Leighton Denny nail polish in Embellish Me, this is the first time I have tryed this nail polish, my mum was given it as a gift and I tried it out, I love everything about it, the colour itself, the depth of colour, how pigmented it is and how well it stayed on my nail, I don't know where it is from or how much it cost but even if it was expensive I would 100% buy another one! 

If you have tried the Leighton Denny range out let me know what you think of some of the other colour available!

I think the pictured don't really do my nails justice for how long they are, but here they are with models own in fuzzy peach. If you want to re-create this look then I recommend taking nail clippers to the corners of your  nails then filling them one side at a time to create a point!

This is the nail polish I am wearing today! I re-shaped them from the original photos to give them even more of a point. To do this filled my nails right down to the bottom corners as there was a bit of re-growth. they seem to look a bit shorter even though I didn't take any off the length but they do look more pointed, here I am wearing models own in Jade Stone, I always bang on about this nail varnish as it is one of my favorites!

As i said before let me know if you try this out and what you think of the pointy nail look!

OOTD *New Shoes*

So here is my outfit of the day! Again it is all Topshop. I have some old light blue Kristen jeans on rolled up, with an oversized cream blouse with a pretty orange toile print, and my eagle necklace on! Iv then got an oversized almost tweedy black and white 80's cut blazer on just in case it gets cold! Then most importantly..... NEW SHOES!!!

 

Here are my new cut out boots in all there glory! I love the chunky silver buckles and I am really loving the cut out section! I love it because you can wear the pretty frill sock with them! I was going to go for an Orange pair to match my blouse but I am really not much of a matching person so I chose some dark green ones! These boots were £75 I really love how chunky they are! I am not really into all thin shoes, I like a bit of clump!

 

 

Finally I decided to pose like this as I see it on a lot of other blogs and OOTD's after doing this I quickly decided that I probably wont be doing it again in a hurry! But I did think it was funny so worth putting on this post!

Enjoy your weekend and remember it's fathers day on Sunday!

Prom Nails No.3 Pink and White French Twist

So here is my 3rd prom look. I haven't added any glitter to this look but I think you could easily add glitter if you wanted to for that extra special look! It's inspired by a French tip manicure but I added an extra layer of pink and have moved away from the traditional small straight white tip. Instead I have gone for the 'cloud' style again and a white then pink to add some extra colour!

The Final Look

So I begun by prepping my nails, I needed to give them all a good cut as they had started to break and where quite brittle and flakey which I am putting down to the weather! My nails are very slightly yellow, I'm pretty sure this is down to constantly wearing nail varnish and not letting my nails breath. I always wear base coat but it could be from some stubborn colours not coming away.... Anyway moving on. I started by trimming shaping and applying a base coat. I recommend also pushing back or trimming your cuticles, I didn't do this today but I do it regularly.

Next I have used a white nail varnish, it's a Barry M one I have never used before and I think it has very good coverage. Using the nail varnish brush I placed it half way up the centre of my nail and steadily pulled the brush down my nail in one smooth stroke. I then followed this step to the left and to the right of the original strip staggering my starting point each time. I wanted to creat a random pattern and have tried not to make any of the nails the same, although they are all quite similar.

Once I had waited for the nail varnish to dry I then followed the original step with the pink nail varnish, only starting a couple of millimetres down from the white. This then created a layered look with the white now outlining the pink cloud shape which you can see in the top picture. I then finished it off with a layer of topcoat for shine and so it will last!

I hope you enjoy your weekend!
