Swaps???

Calling out to all my international readers, I am looking for a partner who would like to arrange to swap stuff with me?

I am interested in doing one of these cos there is so many brands that I will struggle to get here in the Uk and when or if I do they are mega expensive :( So I was hoping that I could find one or more people to help me out I think it would be fun aswell...

Just drop me a comment if you are interested and I will email u

OOTD 17/05/2010

Here is todays outfit, super comfy summer dress from Matalan buy it here, they dont have my colour on their website anymore but there are 2 other colour options, this dress was £12 and I love it, this is it's second outing already along with the shoes below hehe!

These are kids dept gladiator sandals, they are from Dunnes so again I don't know if they are widely available in England, Scotland or Wales, sorry. These were a bargain at only £4!!!
I love having small feet :) (please note the shoes are not too tight or digging into me at the top its the way I had my foot angled for the pic lol)

Here is the detailing on the front of the shoe

Don't you just love em! I DO!!!

Can I also say thanks for the tips on taking my OOTD pics, this one I tried with the vertical shoot and think it worked much better, I will keep practising and hopefully everyone will get better :)

Another Question Answered (how I got into Nail Polish)...and NOTD featuring Instyle Candy

Ok so last week when I asked if anyone had any questions they would like me to answer, Susie requested that I talk about my love for nailpolish and how I got into it?

Well Susie here is your answer my dear :)

When I was little I was the biggest and I mean biggest tomboy but I didnt like getting dirty or anything like that haha but I always had my nails painted for some strange reason lol!
My mum wasn't the type that wore makeup everyday (only on special occasions) and she never wore nail polish (even to this day if you paint her nails she will pick if off straight away!)

I always had nail polish though cos I had one aunty who I seen regurlarly and always had her nails painted so I can only assume that is where my nail polish obsession came from lol!

I always used to watch her and want to copy her, my actual need for my own polish and stuff i reckon came around the time I started high school and seen everyone else having all their own stuff so thats where it really took off I reckon.

I was never really a collector as such I just grabbed whatever nail polish I liked the look of and once I got fed up with it, I gave it away or threw it away.
Before I moved over here to Edinburgh all my nail stuff was given to my sister, so I came to edinburgh with a french manicure set of polishes and that was it! Now I am starting afresh and learning so many new things I am loving it, it feels like a new beginning and I am happy with that...

I want to get to learn how to freehand nail art and do more Konad, I am currently compiling a mental wishlist of which brands I wanna try and such aswell :)

Well I think that is my nail polish history all up to date, I hope you enjoyed reading!

ps - I thought I would put todays manicure picture in here aswell saying as we are on the topic of nail polish :)

A Question Answered...

Hi all,
Jess asked in my first OOTD post where I got this cardy from so I am here to tell you all :)

This came from Dunnes, which is a Irish based store, I don't know if there any in England, Scotland or Wales.

I can't remember what it cost, but a helpful tip if any of you do have a Dunnes store and find this cardy buy a few sizes bigger, its a very small fitting!

Heads up!

Hey to all my UK girlies, Nails Inc and Diet Coke have teamed up in Boots.

If you buy 2 500ml bottles of Diet Coke you get one of four exclusive nails inc polishes for free!

I picked up London and Paris yesterday, London being a mink brown muddy kinda colour and Paris being a gorge purplepink colour.

If you are going to boots go buy Diet Coke lol!
