Sparkle Nails

Hello,
One day last week a friend on Facebook posted a picture of a very sparkly nail. I was instantly jealous. I love nail varnish and i love anything that sparkles, so i messaged her to see how she done it. 10 minutes later i had a reply saying it was GOSH nail glitters which can be bought from Superdrug.
Yesterday when i popped to town my first stop was Superdrug. They have the nail glitters in i think about 5 colours and they're quite cheap at £4.99. They come in a nice little pot and it's very easy to do.

1) Paint nail in clear nail varnish (i use maybelline forever strong pro)

2) Before it dries dip your nail in the pot of Nail Glitters (make sure all of nail is covered)

3) Using a small brush (i used a old eyeshadow brush) brush off the excess glitter.

It is that simple.
It looks really nice and i thought that if i put a top layer of clear on them it might make them last longer. I dont think this will actually happen though and i think they are only meant to be done like this for a night out.
They do lok lovely though and i will probably be doing them with this for London on the weekend.

What I Wore

Last night myself and my family went out for a meal to celebrate Dean's 40th Birthday. It was really a lovely night in a really traditional pub in Caerphilly called the Pontygwindy. The food was amazing for the price and it was nice to have some of us all togther without being totally drunk (mainly me).
I knew what i was wearing without thinking about it. I bought this dress from ASOS in the summer sale and have only worn it once. I love how loose it hangs, recently i've gained abit of weight but this just skimmed over everything which i just loved and the length is perfect for me. Everyone commented on the collar of this dress as well. It's got a pretty beaded collar which i think gives it that jazz which is just enough for a celebration like this one. I teamed it with black platforms i had from Primark back in March which have never failed me everytime i've worn them, they are really comfy which isnt always the case with cheap shoes they cost about £18.00 i think. The blazer is also a buy from March time (when i was following a certain band on tour), i must say though this blazer has been amazing i wear it at least twice a week and i feel i ant go wrong with it. Work or Play it's a must in my wardrobe, i may need to invest in a new one soon though it is getting a bit scabby. As for the jewelery it's just bits i've picked up over the years, Newlook, Primark even Selfridges i think.
Tonight im going out for a meal again, this time to celebrate my friends engagement. I cant wait to see her ring and hear how he proposed i know it's going to be a gushy story and we'll all be in floods of tears. It will be so nice to see the girls tonight. really looking forward to it.
Tomorrow is my last day of my summer holiday to back to work on the weekend so im just browsing for a holiday during november (my next time off) trying to decide between a paris city break or a Gran Canaria beach holiday. Decisions, Decisions.
