Ombré hair
I came across this photo on instagram recently. Love this look so much. I'm a natural blonde though. Not sure how good it would look with brown tips. I think it's called reverse ombré the other way round.

Sparkly bling glitter coasters
It feels like I haven't written a blog for ages! Work has been so manic at the moment and I'm also in the process of selling up and buying a new house.
That leads me nicely on to the topic of today's blog - a little bit of home decor. I found these gorgeous sparkly/glitter coasters in a local shop the other week and I HAD to buy them. They are just so me!
They came in a pack of 4 for £4.99 and I've scattered them around the flat. I've got two on my dressing table, one on a radiator cover and one on the mantel piece.

My best buy of 2012 - my ring watch!
I fell for this little gem as soon as I saw it on the jewellery stand in Primarni earlier this year. It cost £4; an absolute bargain if you ask me!
My original one, eventually got discoloured and may have got wet/bashed as it stopped working last month. I looked in my local Primark and was distraught to see they didn't have any.
Then recently, I went to see my family (about 20 miles away) and went shopping with my mum. Low and behold they had a stand of the ring watches on sale, yes SALE! So rather than £4, I paid just £2, for a new shiny silver one and thought at that price I may as well get a gold one too.
Love love love it!

Pink Cherry Blossom GHDs
It was my birthday on Saturday and I was a lucky girl and got lots of nice things. My main present from my other half was these pink cherry blossom GHD straighteners.
They are gorgeous!
They are limited edition and £10 from every sale goes to cancer research. They come in a beautiful decorated black heat proof bag with blossom stitched on to it in gold and purple. The plates are pink and there is a pink GHD light to tell you when they are heated (which only takes about 5 seconds).
I have been a GHD fan for about 10 years now, and I'm sure everyone who uses them will agree. They are just so versatile; whether you want straight, curly or wavy - any look is possible with these nifty hair tools!
A 'must have' for any hair fanatic!

Vaseline Pink Bubbly Limited Edition
My boyfriend knows me so well, he got me a pot of the limited edition Vaseline Pink Bubbly as a little "stocking filler" type birthday present.
It's in a smart looking baby pink and black tin with gold lettering and the actual Vaseline itself is rose coloured. It's tastes delish!
Stock up now, before there are none left!

A classy stripe - nail art with decorative tape
A little while ago I came across this picture on Instagram:
I thought it looked like a really classy manicure and wondered how they got the silver lines looking so crisp and straight. Then one day, whilst browsing on eBay, I discovered the answer - nail art tape!
I ordered a set of 10 different colours from Hong Kong for the bargainous price of £1, and they took a couple of weeks to arrive.
When they arrived I had just painted my nails blue the day before, so I picked the red tape as I thought it would go nicely against the blue. I hastily watched a couple of videos on YouTube on how to use the tape and set off on my "easy" hand.
It is very tricky to do on yourself, particularly cutting it close to the edge of the nail. If you aren't careful you will pull the tape to a funny angle or even completely off.
After sticking the tape on, you need to put a top coat of nail varnish to seal it. I liked the look a lot! What do you think?
I only got round to doing one hand as my boyfriend came round for dinner. I was going to try do the other hand after, but disappointingly the tape had completely come off one finger and was peeling at the edges on 2 other fingers. This may be down to the fact that I used a matte finish top coat rather than a normal one, so I'll have to give it another go at a later date when I've got a bit of time (this is not a quick mani by any means).
