Sellotape + Nail Varnish = hours of fun!



After seeing Janes tape mani creations (link) I decided to give it a whirl myself! Head over to Janes Blog to check out her tutorials to see how I have created these looks. I decided to try a different style on each finger as I need to remove my polish for work tommorow anyway! So for the base coat I used the very popular Barry M Peach Melba. I then used Blueberry Ice Cream on my little finger, Berry Ice Cream on my ring finger, Mint Green on my middle finger, an 89p jobby from boyes in pastel yellow for my forefinger, and Coral on my thumb... Heres the Results...  








As you can see I need a bit of practice, but practice makes perfect!! I am looking forward to trying some more designs out when I have a few days off!!

:D

The Harcombe Diet

image from google images


Stop counting calories and start losing weight!
Sounds good doesn't it?
So I think I will try it!

Vital Stats Day One
Height - 5ft 4  (163cm)
Weight - 9st 8lbs  (134lbs)
BMI - 23.0
Bust - 34in
Waist - 29in
Hips - 40in

What its all about?

Eating the right foods, at the right times, with the right things...

Simpler?

Don't eat processed foods
Don't eat carbs and fats together
Don't eat foods that cause you to crave

How does it work?

There are three phases to this diet.
Phase 1 is for 5 days, which is long enough for it to take effect and short enough to ensure you stick to it.
In this phase you can't eat any carbs, drink any milk or eat any fruit... Sounds awful? Not as bad as the Dukan diet though is it?

So my first meal of the day is Bacon and Eggs. (Eggs done without milk)
I am planning on having a tuna salad for lunch, and a chicken breast with vegetables for dinner.

I have decided to blog about this because I want to stick to this diet and I think blogging about my efforts will increase the likelihood of me succeeding!!

Wish me Luck!

WIWT: Floral Playsuit


I bought this half playsuit today from primark for £12



It looks really great either with the arms up or down, however I did find the arms to be very long at first
I was on a ten minute primark curfew by the boy who had had enough so didnt try it on in the shop. I think if I did i'd of got the next size up to give a bit more room but it fits ok..



I paired it with this necklace that I have had so long that I have forgotten where it comes from. Always get compliments about it though.
For my legs the shorts are short shorts, so I popped some black tights on with my trusty black shoe boots.


This is the back I criss crossed the arms over but you can have them anyway you like as they are removable..

The only thing that did annoy me was the zip!!
I can't get out of the damn thing!!!

PRIMARK PLEASE MAKE YOUR ZIPS BETTER!!

Other than that 4*'s
Oh and I bought the mustard coloured vest top today too for £2

Nail Art

Gotta love a bit of nail art, unfortunatly these weren't done by myself but I am going to attempt some of my own when I have more time...
These were done by my friends cousin...

 
My friends Cath Kidston inspired floral toes


My other friends leopard print nails



My gorgeous daisy print nails!

I so can't wait to try these out for myself.

My daisy nails were impressive, and I managed to get away with them at work due to the barely there appearance!
