A Dabble at Nail art, Fearne Cotton Style!!!

Hello lovelies, now its safe to say that i am a total sucker for anything nail related, something that i have been desperate to try for a long while is nail wraps, however the price kinda put me off, that was until i spotted these beauties in the boots sale

Everything about the Fearne range is lovely, from the quirky packaging to the unique designs, and it really portrays the original style that the beauty herself has..last year i purchased some of her sets along with the brush set which i received as a present, and have loved them dearly.




this set is no exception!!..the instructions are easy to follow and its pretty simple to achieve, i basically used the nail art stickers, a nail file and a scissors. The only problem i had was bubbling along the top of of the nail whilst trying to trim the top of the sticker, you also need to have quite a bit of patience, i dont think i could have done this in a rush!!

 my nail before the sticker had been cut and the result..tbh i really love the effect of these beauties, im definitely glad i purchased a few sets, how long do they last? il have to get back to you on that one ;)

 these are currently available in Boots, for £3 on the sale, what a bargain eh..have any of you tried the fearne nail wraps?? any other easy nail wrap designs out there??

hitting the sales

hello lovelies, i dont know about you, but i bloody love a bargain, me and my cousin were discussing on Christmas day how much our family loves a bargain and i put my cheap thinking skills into action yesterday when i got dragged around the sales by my mother, yes my mother is worse than me i dont know how long i spent following her around marks and spencers, it felt like a lifetime but was all fun!!..im not really a fan of the sales after working in retail (people will seriously do anything to get the last top etc) but boots is the one place that i will gladly part my Christmas money with, before Christmas i will always nosey around the Christmas gift sets and what i like i put on my wishlist and what i dont receive i hope for the sales and this year i was pretty lucky with my sale purchases

 first up i got these lovely make up brushes from the fearne cotton range, my boyfriend bought me the leopard print set for Christmas last year and i have used them to death so i had my eye on these, they were originally £16 and i payed £8 for them

 also from the fearne cotton range i got these nail art transfer/ stickers, ive wanted to try them for a while and for £3 if i dont like or cannot use them then its not the end of the world, these were originally £6 each

 i have received this set fro Christmas every year from my mum, as im obsessed with the instant wash off fake tan, she couldnt get her hands on it this year, so i quickly snapped it up for £6..seriously this is the yummiest smelling fake tan i love it!!

 what attracted me to this set was the drawers more so than the makeup, they remind me of the muji acrylic drawers i have seen flying across the blogosphere these were originally £45 reduced to a brilliant £22.50

 in the first drawer is a set of brushes, a retractable kabuki, tweezers and two lipglosses, i love the butterfly pattern on the brushes and the tweezers are really good!!

 in the second drawer are two sets of fake eyelashes (perfect for new years etc) two eyeliner pencils and three glitter dusts, all in all you definitely get your moneys worth for this

 and finally last but not least this lovely chilli pepper set which includes a lipgloss, blusher, powder brush, shimmer powder, compact mirror and cosmetic bag, this beautiful set was originally £16 reduced to £8

have you braved the sales?? if so had any bargains??
