Week in Photos #30 / Week in Post #15

Firstly, I'm sorry this is late this week. I went to Swansea with the girls, it was messy, I was too tired to even considering blogging last night! I stupidly decided that when I got back to the hotel it was too early, so Sadie and me got a bottle of wine from our hotel room and sat in the hotel bar drinking it with the guy from behind the bar until about 5 in the morning - whoops!

This week has been...

VERY NAUGHTY - this week has seen me breaking my diet so many times!

Pizza, garlic pizza bread, cheese and a strawberry flan with cocoa powder sprinkled on top!

I also had my first ever Nandos, a McDonalds at stupid o'clock in the morning and copious amounts of booze. Oh and a Chinese last night - not looking forward to my weigh in on Wednesday!

EXCITING - Clippy are holding a competition via facebook, we had to design a bag online and email it to them, 8 bags were shortlisted and mine was one! I created mine with one page representing things that I love. I have the severn bridge to represent travelling, food, fashion, Wales, cinema, booze. Its just a little bit of me :) On the other side of the bag I decided to use cute pictures.

If you would like to help me out I would very much appreciate if you follow this link and click 'like'. Some of the other bags have got a ridiculous amount of votes so I'll be shocked if I do win but every vote counts hey! So, pretty please, vote for me!

BOILING - this week has been lovely! This was actually at 17:11 too, not bad for that time hey!

LISTED - there are certain things I always forget to pack when going away, so this time I made a list of the things that I always forget! 

PRETTY - I followed this tutorial to do my nails for Swansea. Love the result.

CARNAGE - A night out in Swansea for us lot = carnage. I had a fab time and am still suffering today. This is me and my favourite bar man from the hotel. He allowed us to drink our own drink the hotel bar and even provided us with the glasses to drink it! 

I'm wearing his specs.

Week in Post...

This week the postman has bought me

 Another order from Flutter Face. I only ordered some bits to make rings/necklace but as a thank you for writing a blog post about my last purchases Joy very kindly sent me two rings for free! Fab, faultless service once again.

My products for the Stargazer Shake & Bling challenge.

What did you get up to last week? Did you receive any exciting items of mail?

Stargazer Shake and Bling Challenge

Hi all :)

You may have seen this challenge on a few other blogs lately. Stargazer are running a competition (closing date is tomorrow). They sent us four products with which we had to come up with a nail art design. The products included were a nail varnish, a nail art pen, a glitter shaker and some nail diamonds. We selected the colours that we wanted.

I selected the nail art pen in gold, the holo glitter shaker in Onix and the nail polish in shade 105.

I had originally decided to do a 'starry night' theme, it didn't quite go as planned but I'm still very pleased with the result!

I started with with two coats of shade 105.

and then went crazy!

I painted the ends of most nails with a top coat and then dipped them into the glitter shaker. I used the nail art pen to draw the 'moon' on the bottom of my ring finger and to draw the 'stars' in the black glitter. I then added some bling followed by a top coat and sprinkled a little more glitter over all the nails.

My vision for this was the blue being the sky, going up to the black where its getting darker in the night, then the gold & smaller diamanté were stars and the big diamond is the bright North star that you see wherever you go!

What do you think of my attempt? I'm quite pleased with it. Unfortunately I found out about the competition quite late on so haven't had time to try out loads of different looks.

Did you enter this challenge? If so I would love to see what you came up with!

Massive thanks for Dee at Touch Media for allowing me to take part in the challenge.
