OPI on pinterest !!

So i was just browsing through pinterest having a little brain break from my essay, when i came across this beauty of nail art. I saw this and thought the contrast of both the colours is absolutely amazing. I think this is an amazing style to be sporting for the festive season. These nails would look great on christmas day for all you lucky people who can go out and celebrate on boxing day and new years day. 
I love the dip dye effect of the black on the lilac sparkle. This is a definate must for the next time i get my nails done.
I noticed that these had been done with the O.P.I nail varnish, seems to be a great purchase. Anyone out there who had no idea what to do for festive nails this season, get these done!!!!
I cant wait to get my nails done again now.
Post your festive nails this season guys.

Have a great christmas and new year.

Birthday Birthday!!

Hey guys once again this is another long waited post. So i am now home for the christmas holidays. I get the feeling im not going to be blogging much, i have so much work to do along with working extra hours over christmas, fun month for me.
 Anyways i thought id show you all my birthday outfit. It was my 21st on Tuesday so i thought i would treat myself to a new outfit (why not it was my birthday after all ).
I absolutely love having my hair like this, i use the babyliss heated rollers. They are the best thing i ever bought, usually i just put them in after ive showered and leave them in for a few hours to give that beautiful curl and volume. I used to curl my hair using GHDs but i found sometimes that can leave the top of my hair looking quite flat. Id definitely recommend these rollers they are fab and so easy to use, just turn them on to heat up, when the red dot turns white they are ready to use. During the day i only use a small amount of hairspray just to keep the curls looking defined. On a night out i do use quite alot of hairspray, its a must on a night out :).
Cream top- Topshop.... Floral skirt- Miss selfridge.


I saw this floral skirt in Miss Selfridge a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with it. I was worried when i bought it as i struggled to find a top to go with it. I ended up wearing the cream swing top i got from Topshop ages ago. I love this top its goes with almost everything, this has been one of the best purchases i have ever made. Im sure you all have that one key piece in your wardrobes that is always there in times of panic. 
The skirt i think is absolutely gorgeous, im not usually one for liking floral things but this is so different. I know it may not be some peoples cup of tea but oh well i love it :). I was so happy to be able to get it finally, i almost had a major fit when i walked in and couldnt see it instantly. 
I also bought a deep red coloured long sleeve crop top that looks lovely with it. I am debating whether this will be my christmas day outfit or my new black velvet dress. Sadly im working both christmas eve, boxing day and new years day so christmas is going to be my only day to get lovely and dressed up. Never mind :D.

Hope you all love my skirt as much as i do :D.

Have a lovely christmas and a happy new year everyone.
