French braid with volume
I have been experimenting with French braids for a while and want able to get volume that stays!
This time I sectioned off the frount bit of hair then pushed the piece behind up and secured with bobby pins
I then did the French braid over the top and it completely hid the bump underneath while keeping the volume
Will be a style I will be using again!

Spring Nails
I love this coral colour at the moment it's such a bright summery colour
Got a bit creative with my rio nail art pens to to create this design
My biggest challenge is to sit still long enough for them to dry without smudging
Still not sure on this nail shape. The are not as sharp as they look and think I have got used to them. Although I think that I still prefer the more square shape

Miracle Eyebrow review
I have tried so may products for styling my eyebrows, but I have never been 100% happy with the way they looked. When I was younger I had very bushy eyebrows, then as it was cool at the time completely obliterated them plucking them untill they were a thin line... An amazing look!! They have since grown back thankfully but have never seemed to be even.

I have used plenty of powders and pencils. I have to say I prefer how pencils seem to have more staying power but think that powers look a lot more natual.
Looking at blogs and on YouTube for ideas helps but most of the products reviewed are either not easily available in the uk or leave te eyebrows looking very dramatic which is not to he look I was after
I came across this item which I have found on eBay of all places and as it was so cheap thought I would give it ago. It's a coloured gel which I thought may give the best of both te staying power of a pencil without Looking too harsh. I have to say I have been impressed
I went with a mid brown and it is a thick gel that comes with an angled brush. I would say its a similar consistency to rimmels gel liner.
I left this swatch on my arm and it did stay put for a surprising long time did take some makeup remover to remove it completely.
Only thing I would say is that becaus it's so pigmented it can be a little hard to blend out. I will be using it for a while to see how it goes but so far I'm impressed especially for the price

Stiletto Nails
I have been loving the idea of stiletto nails lately. Although I have never actually tried them myself.
I did find it a bit harder to file them to this shape it took longer than leaving them square. Did manage most of it with my electric nail file then tidied up with a standard file
Chose a neutral colour for most of the nails then a simple pattern in the ring finger using a rio nail art pen
I do want to try a more complicated design next time

Summer inspired dresses
Did a bit of online retail therapy couldn't resist with all the summer stock that is now available
Actually didn't got that crazy only had 2 dresses was so many lovely things online that would be perfect for for my hol, not till July but not to early to start looking in my opinion!
Loved how eye catching this dress is. It's a lot thicker material than I though it would be but is very stretchy and figure hugging! Could we more of a evening dress or as I would call out out if you no what I mean!
I also order this dress. I love midi dresses.. In theory I think they look lovely but st 5' 1" I tend to have problems finding them that aren't passed my calves this is the perfect length.
Now we just need some warm weather!!
