My 18th Birthday!

Hey guys! So, I feel like its been such a long time since I last blogged that I feel quite ashamed of myself. My humble apologies to you all.

So, since I last blogged, many things have changed that have made it quite hard for me to find the time to blog again. One of these changes was that I went back to school! I'm now in my last year of A-Levels, which sounds absolutely crazy as it feels like year 7 was just yesterday. And another reason that I haven't found the time to blog is because it was my 18th birthday last Friday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
It feels super weird to sit here and say that I have been on this planet for 18 years. Again, it only feels like yesterday I was a little 3 year old talking to myself in the photo booths at Boots and running in and out of shops giving my parents heart attacks haahaha! True story bro. Oh, how I miss being little.

So anyway, my 18th birthday was such a crazy day. The morning was a tad disappointing because I had to go to school, and nobody wants to go to school on their birthday... However, I wasn't there for the whole day so it started getting much better once I got home. In the evening, I had a slap up meal in Harvester and then had a party on the Saturday with my family and friends. :)

Overall I had the most splendid weekend spending it with my friends and family. To end, here are a few pictures of some of the presents I received. Who knows, maybe you'll see them in another post in the near future?! And as always, I would love to hear what you think, so comment below! :D

Yin Yang Nails

I've recently been obsessed with my nails. Switching them up every couple of days with something new and different. I love experimenting with new designs and I find that painting my nails is quite therapeutic too!
Therefore, I wanted to show you guys how I accomplished these fab Yin Yang nails.

P.S. Sorry for the bad quality pictures, they looked fine on my phone :S

Start off with a base coat of your choice (as you can see, I opted for pink)

After your base coat has dried, dip a small nail brush into the other colour you have chosen and create a 'S' shape swirl diagonally across your nail- You could also do this with the nail polish brush if you are super super careful!

Then, use the nail varnish brush to cover one side of the 'S' shape swirl with the second colour you have selected

When the nail varnish has dried for a second time, use a small dotting tool (or the small brush from earlier) and create a dot in each side of the swirl. e.g. the pink dot inside the silver colour and vise versa.- Again, you could also do this with the nail polish brush if you're careful

Finally once the two dots have dried, go over the nail with some clear nail polish to help create shine and help your nail polish to last longer.

Psst... I know Yin Yang's are originally Black and White. I just felt like switching them up so they look unique and different :)

Again, i'm sorry for the rubbish pictures. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Go on, give it a go! :)
