Strawberry Nails!

Strawberry Nails! 

Okay, so I'm pretty terrible at doing nails. This attempt at Strawberry Nails was no better than usual but I still think it's a really cute idea and if you're decent at them! I have all the imagination and none of the skill!

However,It was really easy to do time and supply wise.

I just used:

•  A cute pink/red colour for the strawberry body
• An apple green for the tips
• A white nail polish for the little dots
• A clear glitter to give the tips a little bit more attention 
• A clear coat to complete the look and keep the nails safe for longer

All of my nail polished were really cheap from Primark and Boots because I wanted to try this and see if it'd work. If I like a nail design then i'll invest in really good quality brands but for trials these are perfect.

Green, pink and clear nail polished are all from Primark

The Glitter and the White nail varnishes are from Christmas gift sets Boots 2013

Firstly, I put on a coat of the 'Rose Petal' pink and waited for it to dry.

Then, I used the 'Keylime Pie' green as the top of the strawberry. These polishes require two coats to look bright and vibrant. 

Once these had dried, I took the glitter and covered the green entirely to make sure it would stand out a little more and just to put in a little sprinkle of girlyness here. 

Lastly, I took a tooth pick and dipped it into my white polish and created the dots on the strawberry and I finished it all of with a clear coat. 

You could do this design with a black or yellow nail polish replacing the white for the dots, or darker base colours depending on what you like!  

I actually think it would be a little bit nicer if I had put the green at the bottom of the nails instead of the tips but I still think it looks cute.

If you like this design or want to see similar blog posts then comment suggestions and let me know! Thanks for reading :)

My Summer Bucket List

Hi! I'm starting a little blog to document my life and just for me to write general nonsense whenever I feel like it. I'm starting it off with a fun to-do list of some little and some big ideas for me to complete in the next few months. 

So, I was inspired by other bloggers to create a bucket list for summer 2014. It's going to be a list of 25 things that I want to have done come...September this year. I think this is a great idea to get me a little more motivated and active this year instead of just spending all my time chilling out I can actually do really fun or productive things too. So, here's my list:

1. Go Camping
2. Swim in a natural body of water
3. Take lots of photos
4. Star Gaze
5. Watch the sunset
6. Watch the sunrise 
7. Go to the Zoo
8. Build a camp fire
9. Get a part-time job
10. Get healthier (I say this on every occasion possible but i'm determined!)
11. Go abroad
12. Learn 2+ songs on my Ukelele
13. Watch my entire Hitchcock and Kubrick collections
14. Create healthy recipes for myself to follow
15. Visit Loch Lomond
16. Refrain from buying a hamster
17. Buy a Mac lipstick
18. Go to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 
19. Vlog at least once
20. Wake up early and be productive
21. Carve something for someone
22. Read one book every week or fortnight 
23. Go to Alton Towers for a day trip
24. Hug people and smile more at strangers
25. Complete this list! 

There's my list! I'll try to blog about the things as I cross them off the list and take photos of them to share with the internet. I'm really excited to get this started and have an awesome summer, I hope you are too!
