The 6 Autumn Nail Designs: Applied to Falsies

So my paper paintings of these nails didn't really do them justice I thought I would spend a bit of time this week doing them up for you...

1) Autumn Leaves...

 

Sunday Experiments: Messy Mattifying & Saran

OK my lovelies if you read the blog you'll see that I picked up Essie Matte About You last week so to day was really messing around with that and seeing what I could get it to do.

 

I first tried it on over my manicure for this week which I think looks hot (apart from the bodged bit), its one of the Autumm designs!... Anyway I also tried out some patters with the Matte about you... read on if you're interested:

6 Autumn Nail ArtDesigns!

Hello,

So sadly Autumn is upon us but this does mean new fashion and nail polish releases!
I did some Summer Designs but I think I did around 27? So I never got all the way through doing them on my own nails but I have a different tactic this Autumn.

 

So if you want to see any of these in more detail keep reading!

Barbie on a Budget: Cheap Cheats, UK Bargain Buys and Treat of the Week.

TGIT!

Cheap Cheats

If your On a Budget I'm guessing you Don't Want to spend £5 on a Nail Art Pen... To be honest I'm Not that Impressed With the One I Own then again... I am Kak-Handed.

There are 2 Alternatives and you should have one to hand...

1. Liquid Eyeliner
2. Sharpie


It is best to apply once the varnish is dry. I know Liquid Eyeliner Chips fairly Easily so I will Experiment with top coats on Sunday, So be sure to Visit Back!

Bargain of the week:

 ESSIE IS Buy 1 get 1 half price @ BOOTS!

Barry M  -  3 for 2 @ Superdrug

So I am Completely Obsessed with Barry M if you couldn't tell; The Colours are amazing, The Solution normally sorts out an even spread for you and they're Great Value for Money. Taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer you can Update Your Nail Collection with three polishes for £6... rumour has it there are some new polishes being released on the 25th September...

Barbie on a Budget post poned...

Dear readers,

I am sorry to have to deprive you on a Thursday of your favourite article, Barbie on a Budget. I will hopefully get this up tomorrow.

Tonight I'm tired, I have a headache and I have just been told in politer words that I am deformed. But it's ok because this deformation is muscular and I can correct but I a very upset woman tonight... I started doing dead lifts at the gym to loose weight when a PT (Personal Trainer) first noticed my weak knee... so I stopped much to my disappointment... but in positive attitude I decided to try and do a 30 day squat challenge and to have my body fat and lean muscle measured... 

My body fat was always going to be a bitter one but everyone needs a starting point, I'm 22.6%. Anyway my nutrition and measurement session was soon monopolised by talk of my deformed muscles and I had quite an intense chat and have been told it would be unwise to do the 30 day squat challenge as it would increase my bodies lop-sidedness...

I'm sorry you probably really don't care... but I felt bad for not posting Barbie on a Budget! But I can' bring myself to do it... tonight it's just an evening of Breaking Bad, maybe something French and a lot of sleep...

Hope you all have better formed bodies than me...

Much love Princess Z xxx

I have never used Models Own before so was also interested to find out what their polishes were like...

1st September Sunday Experiments: Born Pretty Lucky Dip, Smokey Gradient and Holographic Polish

About 4 weeks back I ordered 2 Lucky Dip Bags, 1 Holographic Varnish and 1 Dotting Pen(cil) from the BornPretty website and they have finally turned up so I thought I would use them in my Sunday Experiments....

 

So the back row is for my Holographic Varnish, middle row is for the Smokey Gradient and bottom row is for the Born Pretty Lucky Dip Bag...
