Hey everyone,

Exciting news! I FINALLY bought a new camera! It was such a bargain on eBay, I'm absolutely delighted. It's a Fujifilm Finepix S5700- ones that has been described as a 'mini DSLR'. I've only had it a few days and I'm still learning the ropes but I'm getting the hang of it quickly. Hopefully my pictures will be alot clearer, and I'll be able to try more exciting new posts!

Anyways, I've had quite the love for daisies and flowers lately. They remind me of fun-filled Summers, something I use to inspire me when the going gets tough [especially now that exams are coming up]. This nail art design is cute and cheerful, perfect for Spring and the upcoming Summer!


1. Items used: Sally hensen hard as nails, Essence nude glam, nail art pen from Hairspray, NYC yellow
2. Paint your nails two coats of nude nail polish. I used Essence nude glam because its almost identical to my skin colour, something I think makes it look lest clashy and more classy!
2. Using a dotting tool, or the end of a bobby pin, paint three yellow dots in the corner of your nails. I painted four on the thumbs!
3. Taking your white nail art pen or an old eyeliner brush, draw small little lines [so small they're almost dots] surrounding the yellow dots to make daisies. Don't worry if they join up a bit- this makes it look like a daisy chain, which is even prettier in my opinion!

Voila! I hope you enjoyed this cute and easy tutorial.

What's your favorite Summer nail art design?

Bonjour bloggers!

I'm quite proud of my bedroom, and I adore decorating it. I love adding personal touches here and there, as it really makes it feel special. A bedroom is a place of personal interest, somewhere that belongs to you. I love expressing my love for different things on my wall. I spend most of my time in my bedroom- I do my homework there, watch tv, do my nails, and of course, sleep! I moved to the downstairs room of my house last Summer after years with my sister. I immediately realised I had a knack for interior design! My room was featured in the 'Your Space' section of KISS magazine last year too, which was definitely a compliment after my hard work. So now, I take you on a tour of my bedroom!

from l-r: 1. my main wall consisting of a lady Gaga and fashion collage, 2. Gaga collage close up, 3. fashion collage close up, 4. second Gaga wall, 5. my mirror, Gaga calender and other little bits, 6. my tv & bookshelf, 7. my desk, 8. magazine & book collection, 9. accessories shelf and Gaga shrine[!], 10. close up of concert tickets, 11. my bed, along with my quirky pajama case!, 12. bracelet stand aka a limited edition coke bottle, 13. necklace stand, 14. my messy makeup drawer!, 15. nail polish drawer [around 55-60 polishes in there guys- thats alot!] and 15. skincare drawer.

So there you have it! I love my bedroom to pieces and wouldn't change it for the world. However I do change my fashion posters every season- wouldn't want last seasons fashion on my wall now, would I? :p

Last but not least, the feature in KISS magazines [December issue, 2012] of me and my bedroom.


Hope you like it!

So I was blog searching the other day and came across http://emilydenisephotography.com/blog ,who had a fantastic idea for these nails. I simply changed the colour, but they're quite easy to recreate, just a bit time consuming.

Im a nail art fanatic! I recently ordred some dotting tools and China Glaze nail varnish off eBay (as I heard American brands like that are fab) so I cant wait for them to arrive! I actually set up a business but only had two customers ;p

Bye!
