Marbled nails, first attempt!

Taping up the fingers ready for dripping.

First attempt done.


This was my first ever try at doing marble nails, I know there not perfect but I personally think we did pretty well considering. Now all the tutorials I watched (which was a lot!) all did something slightly different so I guess you just have to find a method that works for you. I found that over all cold water worked the best as it took us about an hour of changing temperature of water and never worked well. So we gave up and used cold.

I'll let you watch the video's instead of me rambling on and not really making sense! I'm going to have ago at doing it on some fake nails I've bought as my nails are just far to short! I'd like to say thank you to my brothers girlfriend who was my hand model for these pictures, haha! We used Rimmel nail polishes and a Barry M 3 in 1 which is a top coat, nail hardener and base coat. Below is the video I watched to help me create this.

What do you think of my nail posts, would you like to see more of them?

Leiston abbey.

This is another outfit from when I was away. These pictures were taken in whats left of Leiston Abbey we visit it basically every year because its open at whatever time and we always happen to pass it going to and from all the different villages. There is also a really cool and even a little strange music school build in the grounds of the abbey, we've been visiting for over five years and still don't really know what goes on. Anyway its really beautiful regardless, oh and you can get married there too!

Now finally on to what I wore, I went for comfort because on this day we did heaps of walking including a brewery tour (which I should of loved, but surprisingly I'm not a huge beer person!) and general wandering around the town of South Wold, if you ever go to Suffolk you have to visit I LOVE IT THERE. The tshirt is from Primark men's and is a slim fit which I find is the perfect fitted tshirt for me and they actually wash really well. The leggings are my staple and from Matalan as is the lovely bird necklace which I cannot stop wearing! And yes that is the denim skirt you see yet again but I love it and it fits beautifully with the rest of my wardrobe.

Another good excuse I had for wearing it all the time was that I had to travel light... which would of been a lie because I packed so much!

First half decent attempt at nail art ever!

Two layers of white nail varnish (as I don't own a light grey one) I prefer white anyway.

I dipped the Newspaper into the surgical spirit and pressed it onto my nail for 10ish seconds.
Peeling off the Newspaper, which on one nail I left it on to long and it got stuck!

Things I used, including my choice of Newspaper, finished nails.


This is my first remotely decent attempt at some nail art! Considering I bite my nails (which I know is a awful habit!) I adore nail art! Though having due to me having ridiculously short nails I've never really been able to do anything at all fancy other than slapping a bit of polish on. This has now changed, I love the idea of newspaper print on nails and it looks so good as well!

I'll just let you watch the video instead of me trying to type out how I did it, as I'll waffle on and it's really not difficult. Rubbing alcohol is surgical spirit and the bottle I used is probably older than me but worked fine! And definitely Make sure your varnish is dry otherwise the paper can stick to it and it'll ruin the look! In case you were wondering my choice of Newspaper was Saturdays Sun. The page I used was the article on Will Young, by the way how good is he new song!? to be totally honest the only reason I got it was because I wanted the Fabulous Magazine.

Below is the tutorial I used, I've also watched the majority of the cutepolish videos and I've bought fake nails to do them! So look out for more nail art on here in the future!
