Neon Acid Wash Nails

Recently on a few beauty blogs I've seen acid wash nails and decided to give it a go! I've gave it my own little spin by using a neon which is a must have at the moment.

What You Need:

  • 2 nail polishes the same colour, but different shades
  • Cotton wool
  • Nail polish remover
  • Clear top coat





The two polishes I used were Nina Ultra Pro in 'Fuschia Rage and Nicki Minaj for O.P.I in 'Pink Friday'.
I created the look firstly by painting my nails with Fuschia Rage and leaving them to dry then putting on a coat of Pink Friday. Once my nails were fully dry, I soaked the cotton wool in nail polish remover and dabbed it on my nails to create the acid wash effect. I then finished off with a clear top coat. I found this really quick and easy to do and I really like the effect it's given. So if you want to try something different on your nails and don't have much spare time, I definitely recommend you have a go!
Have you tried acid wash nails?

Revlon Lip Butter: Lollipop





I thought I'd do a little post on my favourite lipstick at the moment. I had been wanting to try the Revlon Lip Butters for a while so I was so grateful when then the lovely Daniella kindly send me one after winning the full range in a Twitter competition. The one Daniella sent me is called Lollipop, which is a lovely dark pink. I didn't have a lipstick this colour so was very happy when I saw how gorgeous the shade was. I usually find lipsticks quite drying on my lips but the lip butters have a creamy formula so are very moisturising, just like a lip balm. I' am finding myself  using this more than any of my other lipsticks at the moment. I wear it all day at work and only have to top it up a couple of times a day. It's also a great shade for night time! The only downside is that you don't get much in it and it will probably run out quite quickly. However, I will be purchasing this product again and trying some of the other shades. They cost £7.99 and can be purchased here.
What's your opinion on the hyped-up Revlon Lip Butters?

New Look Wedges


 I recently purchased a gorgeous new pair of wedges from New Look at a bargain price of £24.99. New Look is definitely my favourite place on the high street to buy shoes as I think they are great value for money. They also come in Fuscia, Black and Oatmeal, but I went for the orange as it's my favourite colour. I wore them to a friends birthday and love wearing wedges on nights out as they are so much comfier than heels. I'll probably take them to Ibiza with me but let's hope the weather picks up so I can wear them here!
