NOTD: The Floating Manicure DIY

NOTD: The Evil Eye DIY

If my bank account were a bottomless pit of money, (or if I had any amount of skill) nail art would be my thing. Sadly the reality is that I'm a student with very little hand-eye coordination! However, summer break has caused me to whittle away rainy afternoons by attempting nail art designs, and I finally have one to show you that went well.

The Evil Eye has been all over my tumblr dashboard recently in various shapes and forms - remember that design that Alexa Chung wore? 

Get this nail design in four steps! 

1) Paint a semi-circle at the base of your nail. Wait for it to dry! 

2) Take a nail dotting tool, or cocktail stick, to paint a small light blue dot in the centre of the semi-circle.

3) Once this is dry, paint a small black dot in the centre of the blue dot, to create the pupil. 

4) Paint over with a top coat, and you're done!  

Let me know your thoughts on this design- do you spend money on manis, or do you DIY? 

Cèlfie Time

These T's have been floating around Tumblr and Instagram for a while, and it was only a matter of time before I got my hands on one. I paired it with a lil' DIY project- my skirt. Being a lanky 5ft 10", I find it difficult to find skirts that cover my tooshie sometimes, so I figured I may as well try and make one that did. A bit of fabric and one very good YouTube video, and I was sorted! 

It's officially Spring here in England, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't freezing my butt off taking these snaps. Although if I'm honest, I'm just so happy that my camera has been fixed and is back on form. Time to get back into a blogging routine! Having said that, sleep is definitely coming first for me right now. You know when you feel under the weather and get a cold that you can't shift? Yeah, that's been me for the past few weeks. I'm off to go and bury myself under my duvet with a book. 

This is my last week of school before a well needed break, and I'm kinda in denial of the fact that I have to start revising for exams after Easter. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
