The cutest little ring ever...

About a week ago I was browsing ASOS and came across this ring...

ASOS - Limited Edition Finger Tip Bow Ring £8.00

...from the moment I saw it I knew I had to buy it, for once I haven't seen anything like it.
It comes in gold, and has a bow design on it, I did see another in a similar style but instead of the bow a moustache (I feel like I am the only one who doesn't get this trend)...




It looks absolutely amazing once it is on, at first I did think it wouldn't be that secure and just fall off but keeping it on my middle finger, as it is the largest, it feels ok...for now anyway.

I can't wait to start wearing it during the holidays...

I pictured wearing the ring with my FAVE polish at the moment by Barry M in Raspberry <3

Tell me what your looking forward to wearing this holiday season in the comments below...

DIY Snowflake Nails


Hello again……


Today I am going to explain to you how I created this snowflake design on my nails.





Lets begin
You will need;
- Base Coat: OPI Nail Base Coat
- Base Colour: Barry M Nail Paint in Raspberry
- Glitter Coat: OPI Pirouette My Whistle
- White Nail Colour: OPI Alpine Snow
- Fine brush to paint the snowflakes
- Top Coat: OPI RapiDry TopCoat



Step 1: Apply a base coat and allow to dry

Step 2: Apply 2 coats of Barry M in Raspberry and allow to dry



Step 3: Apply a thin coat of OPI Pirouette My Whistle and allow to dry



Step 4: To create the snowflake, first make an X…



Step 5: …draw a straight line either across or downwards…



Step 6: …draw small V on each line




Step 7: Repeat on each nail, but remember snowflakes are not identical so they are not meant to look perfect

Step 8: Once the snowflakes have dried apply OPI RapiDry TopCoat.

Nip + Fab Tummy Fix - Product Review




A couple of months back I was in TKMaxx and came across Nip + Fab Tummy Fix, I was intrigued so took a closer look… what is it I thought to myself… a gel that tones and firms your stomach and hips, once I glanced at the price tag of only £3.99 (RRP: £19.25) I decided to buy it.

The Packaging
The product comes in a 100ml (3.38 fl oz) tube, on the front it says Nip + Fab Tummy Fix Daily 'Ab' Gel.

The back of the packaging reads;
Tummy Fix-This revolutionary formula helps to improve skin tone + texture around the abdominal area. 
+amarashape sculpts + promotes elasticity
+bitter orange smoothes + skin appears firmer
+lecithin softens + hydrates

Direction: Apply on clean skin in circular movements, focusing on tummy + hips. For best results, use twice daily for visibly firmer + flatter looking silhouette.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Alcohol Denat, Propylene Glycol, Polyimide-1, Pentylene Glycol, Alcohol, Carbomer, Polyacrylamide, Lecithin, Parfum (Fragrance), C13-14 Isoparaffin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Limonene, Laureth-7, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Fruit Extract, Caffeine, Linalool, Geraniol, Eugenol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid.

I started using this product every morning and some nights (not many) but it did seem to make a difference. I would use a small blob of gel and rub it into my tummy and hips, it absorbs into the skin quickly and there is no stickiness and you can get dressed straight away. There was a pleasant sort of artificial scent to it and the skin would be silky soft to the touch.

I carried on using it and within a couple of weeks I noticed my tummy looked some what flatter a toned. This is with eating healthy and doing regular exercise, I probably wouldn't expect it to work if I ate burgers and chips everyday. 

It is on the higher end on the price tag for myself anyway, so I would only buy it if I saw it in TKMaxx again (I hope), or if it was on special offer in Boots.
