My Pacman nails!

DSC03346
Hello!

I'm not very happy with the outcome of these nails. I think the alien doesn't look very good and you cant really see what the circuit looks like because the colours are too similar! Also I cant apologise enough at the excess black nail polish at the sides of my fingers! I tried using a cotton bud but its very stubborn ha-ha! I will have to do the washing up soon I guess! Ahh well it was worth a try.

Polishes used were all from the Rio Professional Nail Art Kit! (Hmm its so lovely!)
I have just set up an Instagram account (*cough cough* rosiesnailart *cough cough*) and found out so many people that do nail art too! Of course I've seen people that enjoy nail art before but there are literally hundreds on Instagram! I got all over exited and commented and liked all night long and forgot about my blog! Darn!

I've just stated college again so I will be doing blogs in the evening and on the weekends!
Thanks for reading!

P.S Comment on what nail art I should try next! The more creative the better!

10 reasons winter is fab!


There are so many reasons why summer is just marvellous but think positive! These are my top ten reasons why winter is fab! In no particular order…

1. Shopping! Almost every shop has a humongous “SALE” sign on the window, which means using your Christmas bonuses to the full extent! Lots of cuddly knitted jumpers to keep you toasty when going outside. Its just a bonus that they're in fashion at the moment!

2. Soup and hot chocolate! Of course both of these are consumed during all seasons but having a warm bowl of soup after going for a brisk cold walk seems much more appealing than after going to the beach! Hot chocolates with whipped cream, sprinkles and all the rest is my perfect winter drink keeping me toasty.

3. Snow! There are both pros and cons with snow. My inner child gets extremely exited when she looks outside to see heaps of the white stuff! Building snowmen, snowball fights, sledging and of course days off school! I can remember standing next to the radio on a snowy morning waiting for my school to be called off, yet our head master always made us go to school! Was it only our school or was yours strict on snow days too?
However there is the grumbling old lady inside me when I look out of the window to snow! Knowing your going to have to defrost your car and shovel snow and the awful sludge of after snow which always leaves your feet dripping wet!

4. Bubble baths! How relaxing does a refreshing bubble bath sound after a shoulder hunching, teeth chattering day! Whack out the bubble bath, stick on the radio and chillax! (It even hurt to write that word believe me!)

5. Slippers! Who wears slippers in the summer right? Well saying that the cold floor in the mornings can make anyone clamber back into bed! My favourite slippers are Primark, there boots so they don’t slip off when I go downstairs (grr) and they have fluffy linings so my feet stay snugly warm until I have to stick them into muddy boots! Fun!

6. Lazy days! I don’t know if its just me but in the summer, or at least when the suns out, I feel as if I'm not making the most of the sun by sitting inside. But in the winter you can look at the people outside your window in all your warm smugness as they power walk through the 50mph winds. Watching cute films by the fire is also a winter must, which brings me swiftly onto my next point!

7. Fires! I'm on about two types of fires when I say fire! The first would be the one in your home, the one that in the picture perfect home your cat would curl up next to to stay warm, then all of your family would smile and laugh and watch the fire for hours on end. In reality, it would be me and my sister elbowing each other out of the way so we get more heat, while my mum is sat holding a guinea pig and my dad would be… doing dad things?
The other fire is the awesome camp fires where you toast marshmallows and make American style smores. (If you haven't heard of a smore before then I suggest Googling it!) Singing camp songs and putting more and more on the the heap of wood to see what would burst into flames the best! Just me? Oh okay…

8. Big scarf's! For the days in which a jacket would be too warm, but without a jacket I would be too cold a scarf is my best bet! The big warm fluffy kind that you can hide your face in cringe worthy situations, pull right up to your ears because they turn red and numb! I cant remember what there called but the kind of scarf's that look like a really big doughnut? You wrap it round twice and your sorted! And you can never have too many scarf's!

9. Lights! Oh they are so beautiful! If only we had them all year round! Putting them up makes us all feel Christmassy inside like someone has just turned a Christmas light in our heads! I'm not going to ramble on about lights because there are so many I could go on for hours! But just think… Christmas lights… feel better? Your welcome Winking smile

10. CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR! No words needed!

Pink leopard print nail art!

DSC03336
Hello!

I found these on my Instagram wall and I had to give them a go! They look complicated but truth be told they are super easy and have a great after effect!

I have been a goon again and forgotten to photo the steps (I'm too eager!) but all you need is a pale base, a few small splodges of bright colour, and then copy the black outline on the picture! The black must not join up and putting random black dots fills the nails up more.

The nail polishes used are:
Base in: Always Sheer Camisole by Revlon
Dark pink splodges and black in: 0512 by Rio Professional Nail Art

Thanks for reading! Comment ideas on what I should do next!

Two different lighting was used in these pictures I couldn't decide which I preferred!DSC03322
Hello!

I have just brought the Rio Professional Nail Art Kit and have completely fell in love with it! I was up all last night trying out different effects and styles and I may do a review on the product later because I just love it to pieces!

These are pictures of my very first attempt at using the kit to have nail art fingers but as scruffy as they may look to a professional, I am very proud of them! I love all Pixar films but I have chosen out of them to do my favourites on my nails! The easiest to do was the Walle sign as all I had to do was a big red dot with an E in the middle! I don’t have a hardest however because I find the challenging ones more fun to do and a prouder outcome in the end!

I will start doing tutorials soon I promise! Just let me fiddle about a bit so I know what my strengths are Winking smile

The new year idea!

2012
Hello!
Above I have made a collage of the most memorable and happy times of my 2012! Why not give it a go! You can bring back the memories of a fantastic year! However I'm not here to ramble on about how happy I have been and what i have been up to! Your hear to find out of this idea I found on twitter from one of my followers!
The idea was that for this next year, from the start, (Today) right up to the last day in December, whenever something exiting has happened like an event or a meet up, even things that make you happy like having your first party will all go into a box. You don't need to put a piece of paper in every day, just on days or moments that you want to remember when you look back at your box in a years time! This box will hold precious memories, compliments, dates, outings, holidays, objects that will make you realise what a great time in the year you really did have! This would be great if you think the year didn't go as well as you thought, but looking back will be sure to put a smile on your face Smile
Just an idea for you all, I sure am trying it out! Thank you so much for reading! How has your last year been like I want to know! Leave me a comment and I will reply to all!

P.S HERE is the link to my most recent video with my best friend! Attempting accents!
