Perfect Manicure

Who doesn't love a fresh manicure? Do you like spending money on getting your nails done? Yes so do i, but i prefer being able to do it myself. I recently invested in my own shellac kit. I can safely say it is one of the best things i could have ever bought. 

I purchased cheap £12.99 UV lamp off ebay and began to search for colours i loved. So far i have 7 colours. I absolutely love been able to pamper myself after a stressful day at work.

To be able to this at home you require the below item:

- UV lamp

- CND Top Coat

- CND Base Coat

- CND Shellac colour

- Buffer

- Enhancement Remover.

The key items here are your buffer and also your enhancement remover. Before applying any colour you need to buff you nails to ensure there is no shine left, this will enable your colour to last for longer. A common mistake please make when doing shellac their self is forgetting the enhancement remover; this is added after the nails have been painted to ensure there is no sticky residue left on the nail. 

Please show me any colour you have which would be good for my holiday to LA! I really need to build my collection up. Also can any one recommend a cute way i am able to display my colours?! 

Please comment below if you have any ideas :)

Is it time to say goodbye to winter clothing?

Every girl wishes she could have a walk in wardrobe bursting with clothes.. My wardrobe is looking slightly boring and spare at the moment, i have been shopping around for a new wardrobe, preferably the cheaper side than expensive. I stumbles across this jacket on Zara.com/uk i instantly fell in love.

You could wear this jacket with a dress on a summers night, ripped skinny jeans for a shop or even for work. Its retailing at £89.99, which is steep.

What do you think?! Buy or not buy?! Help girls!!

Are there any must buys out there you think i should know about? Any thing you have just bought you that you really can't contain your excitement about? Show me.. comment below, i want to know it all!

Sweet tooth

Do you love food as much as me? So i have decided i am going to change my lifestyle a little; basically a diet, but if i call it a diet i know i will fail before even starting. I have a holiday to Los Angeles in September for my cousins wedding. Everyone wants to look their absolute best on holiday don't they? I have been scrolling endless food sites to find easy healthy food as i like quick, yummy food. Sadly i found nothing but i did stumble across this image and thought i would share it with you. so i am now sat in bed with a large back of Dortitos and humous.. oops!

I would like like to hear from you to see what your guilty pleasers are and if you have food and exercise tips to help me get my dream beach bod?

Please e-mail me or comment on this post, i really appreciate your opinions and help.

Speak soon, 

Lauren
