NAIL IT.....!

Now, if your having a nice relaxing day before the match & a few Sunday drinks, and your nails could do with a bit of TLC, why don't you try the latest in nail trends, "Ombre" nails.   I love these, coz you can try out some really brilliant colours, I personally love the Essence range of nail colours, available in independent Pharmacies and Penneys, because they have a huge range of colours and are cheap as chips, and surprisingly last really well...!  

 

 

Step 1

File your nails into shape and massage a small blob of Elizabeth Arden 8 hr cream onto each one, next push back your cuticles with a wooden cuticle stick.

Step 2

Choose your colours. Similar tones work well together. For a tropical sunset look I’d suggest using a combination of Essence Orange Nail Splash, Fuschia Nail Splash and Pink Nail Splash

Step 3

To make the colours really ‘pop’ on your nails go for a White or Nude base coat on each nail, then wait to dry.

Step 4

Apply your first colour over the white on each nail and wait to dry.

Step 5

Paint your next colour onto a makeup sponge. Gently pat the colour onto your nails with the sponge from tip to about half way down. Wait to dry then do the same with the 3^rd colour, just on the tips this time.

Step 6

Wait to dry then clean up around the nails with a cotton bud and seal with a clear topcoat. A little bit of summer for your nails!

 

And there you go, its as simple as peas!!! Please feel free to tweet me your nail attempts, as i'd love to see how you lot are going on.

Dundrum Blogger in Residence Competition.

When I saw the amazing competition being run by Dundrum Town Centre, sponsered by Samsung, to find a blogge to work alongside the shopping centre I nearly feel off my Kurt Geigers..! What a brilliant competition...!!!
There are four challenges, The first challange is to write a piece about one of the amazing prizes on offer and I need all my wondeful follwers to vote fo me to get through to round two...!

For my entry, I decided to write a blog about the Michael Kors Hamilton Tote bag.

Challange 1.

Fashions change but style is eternal, there is no truer statement than that when you talk about a Michael Kors bag.  We all search for the same things in a bag, style first and practically second, luckily this bag holds bundles of both these qualities neatly over your shoulder.

My favourite is the Hamilton Bag, which comes in a varity of colours, but also comes in different sizes to suit any stature, which is hugely important, we all love an oversized bag, to fit all the unessesary nessesities, but we dont want to look like we are carrying an overnight bag about.

Usually bags with both top handles and shoulder straps look like they’re having an identity crisis but worn either way, these straps enhance the chic-ness of the bag. You'll be the envy of your friends when you waltz from Autumn to Winter with this stylish, trend setting bag.

Unlucky in love Cheryl Cole has finally baged herself a new boyfriend...!
Its the very easy on the eye Tre Holloway!!!  A source, close to Cheryl said: “It’s early days but they are an item.”
They met when Tre appeared alongside the pop babe as she performed her single Promise This on 2010’s X Factor live finals
Cheryl met up with him again when she celebrated her 29th birthday in Las Vegas last month — and the pair have been inseparable ever since.
A source said: “It’s going well. They really like each other.”
Cheryl has had a string of secret dates with Tre — pronounced “tray” — going out with him TWICE this week alone.

On MONDAY they enjoyed a double date with Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh and her boyfriend Justin Scott at Nobu restaurant in West London, meeting the mates already.....tre Must be a keeper....!
My exclusive picture shows Cheryl, wearing an elegant black and red dinner dress, gazing happily at her new man as she took him back to her hotel, obvious;y just to chat about current affairs and drink coffee.....!

Then on TUESDAY she put on a black mini-skirt and vest top for another swanky meal with her American dancer at Roka restaurant in central London. We hope that Cheryl's run of bad luck in the love deptpartment has finally over.....!!!
