Dotty Toe Nails

Not been doing many blog posts recently, as I have been decorating my bedroom. Which also means any nail varnish I put on my hands comes off straight away. So this is way I decided to use me new nail dotting brush on my toes.
I got this set from Top Shop, there are quite a allot of brushes to try in this pack not bad price either at £7. First I tried out the metal dotting tool. And this is the result.


I first used a base coat, then the first two Models' Own nail varnishes(in the below picture) on every other toe.            
I then put the metal ball shaped brush into the No7 dark purple and placed the dots on the nails, being careful to leave space for the white dots.
Then repeating this for the white dots.
This tool made it allot easier to get the dots the same size and shape, the only thing to watch out for is not getting to much varnish on the tool. As this makes the dots look messy.
   
I went shopping to the Leeds at the weekend and manged to buy lots of amazing bargains in the Illamasqua sale. Below is a picture of what I bought. Each item only cost £5 each. So if you get a chance I would check it out, they have some lovely colours.

New Year make up and Christmas Nails



I hope everyone had a good Christmas eating lots and opening presents.

 Over the last month I have not been able to wear my contact lenses and have had to wear my glasses. I found it allot harder to create party make up, which I took on as a challenge  Any way here if one of my make up looks with glasses.



I wanted to keep the colour scheme of my glasses so I chose a pinky red colour for the eye shadow. I then used false eyelashes that had a strong curl. 






For my nails over Christmas I kept to a red for the base and used a gold crackle by OPI on top of the red.
I also create candy cane nails using the same red for the base and painting on white diagonal lines. i forgot to take a photo of this through.
Happy New Year!
