Glittery Nails

Even though at the moment my nails are really short and badly in need of a good file, I still really enjoy painting them and trying out new things. For me this isn't really a new way of doing my nails, but I hadn't used this combination of polishes before and I just thought I'd show you them, as I really liked how they turned out!

At the moment I am trying to grow my nails, when it's not the holidays I try and keep them short for basketball and stuff, but as it's summer time, I really want them long so I can try some nail arty things, even though I'll probably suck at it! I'm very bad at filing my nails, I just get really impatient and can't be bothered doing them well. So, I think when they've grown to a good length, I'll go and get them filed square. 
So that's just a bit about my nails at the moment, now onto the glittery nails that I just did!


I started off with the Boots Natural Collection Clear Nail Varnish as a base coat, it's nothing special but it didn't cost me much. Then I painted my nails with this polish from Maybelline which is called Pink Boom (262). It's part of their 'Colour Show" collection which features loads of bright colours, I got this pink one as a birthday present. 
I only applied one coat which looked fine but maybe two would've made it even bolder. I then finished the look with one of Rimmel's Lasting Finish Varnishes in Disco Ball (500), which I also got as a present. I love the colours of glitter in it. 





I really love the finished look and I hope you do too, please leave a comment if you did!

Summer Wishlist!


So these are some items that I've been lusting after. For summer I plan to live in dresses, styled down with trainers, or my JuJu's. I love these two and the Motel playsuit and I think they would be perfect for what I'm looking for. I also really want this tee for wearing with my denim shorts and vans, I really like Studded Petals t-shirts, theres loads that I could buy!
I'm in LOVE with these doc sandaly things, they're a perfect alternative to wearing my JuJu's and I doubt many people I know will have them, they're quite pricey for me though...

If I do purchase any of these items, I'll be sure to feature them in an OOTD or a lookbook, I have made an order from Topshop so I'll be showing you what I bought soon! Maybe in a lookbook with some rediscovered pieces of mine.

So that's it from me. It's 26 degrees today which is roasting for Scotland, I'm currently inside writing this listening to Zane Lowe, I really love listening to his radio shows,  it's nice and cool inside so I'm quite happy.

This weekend coming is T in the Park! Totally wish I was going, and I wished I was at Glasto aswell, maybe in years to come...
Oh and before I go, a huge congratulations to Andy Murray for beating Novak Djokovic yesterday and winnine Wimbledon! You totally deserve it babe, so proud to be Scottish.
