Friday's ROCK!!!

So today I woke up feeling like I needed a little rock chick in my life!!

It's such a fun and easy look!!
So i did a grey smokey kinda eye with dramatic eye-liner, i know you can't see it here... but it looks really awesome cause i extended the liner all the way out of the edges of my eye.
Then the print type thing is the rocker top that i'm wearing with my blue skinny jeans and black boots.
Black nails with one white (although for going out tonight i'm gonna change it to the same orange) and my rocker bangle and cool silver rings.
Not sure if you can see it, but i'm wearing one loop earring and one with black feathers on the other side - it's totally awesome!!
I bought this orange lipstick from clicks (real cheapy thing - paid R21.99) the beauté range in Tangerine - the colour is vibrant and it really lasts and lasts - i'm very impressed.
Add an orange scarf & jacket (although tonight i might wear a grey jacket for a more night time look) and you're ready to rock the town!!

The most important thing is to be bold, experiment and ALWAYS remember to have FUN!!

Have a Berry Rocking Friday!! 

Happy Colourful Nails

How absolutely gorgeous are these nails.

Ok, so it's really easy to get this look.
Do the usual, file & buff your nails, do the cuticle thing - this will ensure gorgeous looking nails.

FUN PART : paint your nail white, give it a good 2 or 3 coats (I'm loving this matt look nail polish, try that if you like).  Then using either a thin brush or a nail polish pen, draw on the circles and little curves at random (make sure there are 5 on each nail so you can fill them in with the colours).  Now, you need 5 colours to fill the circles in with (Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Orange) and then just paint one circle on every nail with each of the colours (try and paint the same colours in the same circle positioned on every nail, to give it that more professional look.

Have lots of super berry fun.

Funky Monkey Nails

How cute are these!!!  Ok, so it's pretty simple (but you'll have everyone fooled I promise).

WHAT YOU NEED:
* Self adhesive type plastic, sellotape, self adhesive labels, anything that is sticky on the one side.  I prefer to use the self adhesive plastic myself, I find it works the best!
* Craft scissors with a curvy type blade that makes these patterns (you can by them at most stationery or craft shops).
* Two different colour nail polishes, they can be matching or completely contrasting like I have here - depending on your mood and the occasion.
* A top coat is also recommended to lock everything in place and give it that great finishing touch (I used a top coat with glitter for extra vavavoom!!)

Ok, now for the process.  Firstly, paint your whole nail one colour (choose the lighter of your two colours to put down first).  Allow that to dry.  NOW FOR THE FUN PART!!  Take your self adhesive plastic and cut them into little rectangular strips about the size of your nail, then with curvy craft scissors, cut the rectangle in half (as you can see below).

Now, you 'un-stick' one of the pieces and place it down the center of your nail, so that the one half is completely covered (make sure to press down all the sides so that the nail polish doesn't ooze through).  Now paint the exposed half of the nail with your second colour (now the darker one) and while the nail polish is STILL WET remove the sticker slowly revealing your two tone nail.  Once you've done all your nails and they have all dried, apply your top coat and you're good to go.

You can get really creative with this and use different patterns and shapes and colours, even putting the stickers on at different angles.  Have loads of fun and I would love to see your nails, so please post them up here if you want.

Have a super duper berry d.licious day!!!

Cute Nails for Cheeeeepo

So, I've discovered 'Essence Cosmetics' exclusive to Clicks stores, and let me just say they have some of the coolest stuff.  And my favorite of the right now are their cute little nail polishes, which go for about R25.00, the pigment is great and you probably only would need one coat, but I like to put 2 (it lasts longer) and a top coat!  They are called "Colour & Go" and there are 36 colours to choose from - plus they dry REALLY fast!!

So here are my nails today (wow! I look brown and yes, I do have a little rose ring in a purple wine colour as well - love them).
The colour I have on is "mellow yellow", the little flowers and sparkley gem things you can buy anywhere now, a drug store such as dischem or clicks (even Essence has their own range).

So go out and buy some and have fun with it.

*The green nails in my previous post are these same nail polishes in "lime up"

Happy Hello's

So this is my first post on this blog.  I have so much to say, that I'm not sure what to say first.

Kandee Johnson has completely inspired me in every way, not only with hair, makeup, nails and fashion, but just to be a happier person, she is such a beautiful person inside and out, and I hope I can say thank you to her one day.

My obsession at the moment is leopard print - I've always loved it, but I think I have become slightly obsessed - lol - so these are my leopard print leg warmers (that you can fit onto ANY boot!!) They are wonderful and super warm too.

You can probably see my lime green nail bikka-booing in the corner there, here they are - lime green nails with one white one for a bit of variation and 'spice', oh and I'm wearing this gorgeous new baby rose ring in black which I just adore.
