Beauty | Nails of The Day 21/03/16

Hello everyone! Apologies for my inconsistent posting, University work is at it's most hectic right now as I near my deadline dates. I'm currently running my final year production project (which you should definitely check out HERE by the way) as well as writing my dissertation. It's safe to say times are stressful but I'm determined to make time for the little things I love like blogging along the way.

Nails of the Day #1!

Hi guys! I have a nail post for you all today - it's been a while since I've done one of those and my nails really aren't in the best of shape but I like to try and make 'em look pretty! As you can see, they're pretty short and I'm in the process of changing their shape which is why I cut them down. Luckily, my nails grow pretty fast so in a week or two they should look much better!

So, today on my nails I'm wearing two polishes layered together. The first is by the brand Nails INC in the shade 'Park Lane Mews' and the second is from Barry M - it's a glitter topcoat in the shade 'Rose Quartz Glitter'.

What's on your nails today?

And there you have my nail polish collection! I hope you enjoyed this post, thank you very much reading - have you got any of the these polishes?! Let me know!

MOTD: Lilac and Pink.

Today I have a makeup of the day post for you all, enjoy!

To begin, I applied moisturiser, foundation and concealer. I also filled in my eyebrows with a mid brown shadow and brushed them through a little bit.

On the eyes I wore this pretty lilac and dark brown eyeshadow look. I used Sleek's Snapshots palette to create this look by applying the lilac onto the inner two thirds of my eyelid and then I took a copper brown colour and applied that into my outer third and into the crease a little bit. I also took the copper colour and lined my water line with it and took a shimmery white shadow to highlight my inner corner and brown bone. I applied my favourite mascara and the look is complete!

Onto the cheeks and contouring, I contoured using my MUA bronzer and then used my 28 colour blush palette from eBay and used a light baby pink shade on the apples of my cheeks. I also highlighted using my Sleek Face Form palette, applying it to my cheek bones and along the length of my nose.

Onto the lips, I applied some lip balm and then dabbed and blended in a little bit of the matte pink shadow from my Snapshots palette. I took a little bit of my Rimmel Vinyl Gloss lip gloss and applied that on top of the lips for a more shimmery look.

To finish the look, I applied a little bit of powder and that was it!

I hope you like this look and if you give it a go yourself, tell me how it went!
