I think I may write a motivational post every Sunday, this day is the day I'm 9 out of 10 times free, let me know if you like them :)

So I've wanted to start writing some positivity posts for a while now, and with a difficult 1st year at college with many things going on, i think it's time for me to buckle down and start being more positive about life, I used to see everything in a good way and nothing really brought me down, I'd like to go back to that feeling and thought this would be the best way :) I'm also hoping this may help someone else too :)

So first of all it's just simply "think positive" don't look at all the negatives of a situation (I know that's hard) but just think, is this really going to affect me in a drastically negative way? Weigh the positives and negatives together - you can even write a list of them all. I just think this is the first step in being happy :)

P.S Sorry for the ramble at the beginning!

~do you like reading these sort of posts? Would you like me to write more?

I finally did a glitter fade mani! I've wanted to do one for ages with matte black and here it is :) 
I used a black nail varnish from a nail art kit by the brand rio, and this pretty glitter nail varnish called "stunning" by Revlon, it's full of lots of little glitter and big specs, and to make the black matte I used NYC's matte me crazy. 
I simply painted a stripe of glitter on my tips, wipe the brush dryish, then drag it down, once my nails were dry I added another coat to the tip to make it thicker and more of a "fade" 


I really love this and I'm definitely going to do more glitter fades :)

~Have you ever done a glitter fade mani?
What's your current favourite nail art?

Just thought I would do a little post showing my current (small) Barry m nail varnish collection.

 I have three special effects ones, 2 crackles and a crocodile one. I have to say the gold crackle isn't very good, I love the colour, but it just dries all around the lid and on the brush where it has already reacted and just goes a bit weird, which means its a pain to put on!
 The other two are plain black, I personally love the crocodile one it's such a cool simple nail art effect! It particularly looks good over silver nail varnish. 
I then also have three standard nail varnishes and 3 jelly ones.
 The best thing for me about Barry m varnishes is the colours, they always have nice colours and are constantly adding new current trend colours at an affordable price. 
I've written a little review of the jelly ones including a manicure with them on in a previous post if you want to check that out :) 

Below shows the names of each colour:
Pure pturquoise, raspberry, Fuchsia 
Grapefruit,Greenberry, Blueberry. 

None of these were limited edition so I believe you can still buy them all. 

~~How many Barry m nail varnishes do you own? (I know how small my collection is compared to others). 




I recently bought this on an offer along with the maybelline falsies mascara, and unlike most people I'm more of an eyes person than lips because I think you can be a bit more creative with eyes, however lately a few lip products have been sneaking into my makeup collection...
I really like this colour (coral tonic) I think it's very summery, and it's not too bright, bright lipsticks do not suit me! It's a pinky coral but appears slightly darker than in the tube, I really like the packaging, the way the coloured lid just 'snaps' into place. 
I'd say the staying power is okay, depending on eating/drinking, at least 2 hours. 
Overall I think it's a great summer lip product and I will be wearing it a lot :)


~~what's your favourite summer lip product? Do you own any colour sensational lipsticks? 



I recently went out for a birthday meal, and haven't used a maybelline colour tattoo i bought yet! And as I was wearing blue I decided now was the time to use it! I never really use cream eye shadows but I think I may buy some more now. 
I used the colour tattoo all over the lid using my finger, it applied easily, I did find it to be a bit patchy, however 2 layers sorted it out. It's such a gorgeous bluey-purple colour. This worked as a great base and kept my eyeshadow in place for the whole evening.

I then used MUA's undressed palette which has a perfect shimmery blue that I knew would go with it, I used shade twelve in the outer corners and crease, and then shade 11 on the corners of my eyes. 


~~Do you own any of the colour tattoos? Do you use cream eye shadows?
