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!!!

Kindness Rules

Today I wanted to literally get out my car and hurt this taxi driver who wouldn't let me into a turning only lane (because that would put him one car behind).  People today are so selfish and self centered and everything is about "ME, MYSELF & I".  They feel they don't have to wait in traffic, but everyone else can.  They don't need to stop at the red traffic light, but everyone else can.  Their excuse : "I'm late" - aren't we ALL late, don't we ALL have somewhere to be!!  This all boils down to kindness & being considerate to other people, treat them like we want to be treated!!

Kindness does rule, and maybe if we showed it to one another, certain activities that we have to do each and everyday wouldn't be so stressful (such as driving in traffic).

Hope you have a kind filled day.

Berry Berry Kindness & Love to every single one of you.

Fast & Furious 5 - Yummylicious Cars

So many nice cars - where to begin... I'm gonna show you the one that would make my heart skip a beat (or five).

You probably remember this scene at the end of FF5 (had to throw some Vin Diesel eye candy in there too), the car Torretto (love that surname!!! grrr) drives (for the girls, the black one) it's mean and it's got muscle and it's just such a 'real' guy kinda car.

It's the 2010 Dodge Challenger.

Performance: The base Challenger SE is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 250 hp and 250 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic (up from last year's four-speed) is the only transmission for the SE. The R/T sports a 5.7-liter V8 that makes 372 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a five-speed automatic as standard equipment, with a six-speed manual available as an option. Choosing the R/T's manual transmission ups power output to 376 hp and 410 lb-ft. The thumping SRT8 comes with a 6.1-liter V8 packing 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, with a choice of either the automatic or manual transmission found in the R/T. In recent testing, the Challenger R/T reached 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, and the Challenger SRT8 took only 5.3 seconds.

Needless to say, it's a HOT, i repeat H.O.T. car and I would die to drive it!!

Happy & Safe drivin you guys.

Berry Berry Love to you all. mwa

Ear Muffs - SUPER DUPER WARM!!

I have to tell you all that ear muffs are a definite MUST for this winter.  I had mine on this morning and when I took them off to answer the phone, I felt like I had stuck my ears in the refrigerator.

I have two, these ones and of course ones in leopard print... hehehe... i will show you those another day.

Have an uber awesome day and KEEP WARM!!

BerryBerry love from me to you.

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"
