Nails - Ice cream!

Having arrived home from Malta to more gorgeous weather (although not quite as nice as Malta heat!) I thought I would treat my nails to something appropriate.

I used MUA Frozen Yoghurt as my base coat and started by drawing an ice cream onto my ring fingernail, complete with flake and sprinkles! I then decided to add ice cream 'drips' to all of my other nails. I used a mixture of boots 17 and Models Own, as well as my new barry m nail art pen to outline. I'm really impressed with the barry m nail art pens - I also have the silver one - they're so easy to use and don't smudge when you put a top coat over, which is quite often the case with nail art pens. I've only used them a couple of times but really happy with them so far so I'd recommend them!

Do you like this design?

Summer Buys.

With my holiday only weeks away, I've done a little bit of shopping to replenish my Summer wardrobe. I haven't had to buy much as, luckily, a lot things from last year's holiday to Cyprus are all in pretty good nick still. To be fair though, I didn't really need another bikini (make that two), seeing as I'm getting close to having one for each day now. Here's just a few of the things I've purchased.

Bonus purchase - Primark £3. Will be using this to store my toiletries.

I've bought other little bits, like some basic shorts and 'boob tubes' (anyone else hate calling 'em that? - but what else can you call them?) and also finally gave into the skort trend last night..for £3.99! Beat that, Zara. ;)

Are you going on holiday this year? What have you been buying recently?
