What does your nail polish colour say about YOU?

Clear

Clear nail polish colours are for people who are very neutral. Clear nail polish portrays that you are very easy-going and don't get upset easily. You don't need the attention of others every minute of the day and you are happy with yourself the way you are.



Hot pink

This colour is for the spunky and spicy. A very feminine colour, hot pink is for the kids who embrace a bit of girliness, who also have a touch of attitude. 












Pale pink

Again this colour is for people who embrace their femininity. But being a more subtle shade this colour shows that you are very timid and don't want to stand out. You're not a complete wallflower but you have a soft side.




Red

This colour tells people you are vivacious. You are strong and want things to go your way - all the time. You are also a passionate character and it goes without saying that you are extremely outgoing and sexy. Parties are your favourite thing in the world and you need to be noticed. And you won't leave a do without speaking your mind.






Blue

Blue is the colour of authority. Put it on and people will know you're in charge. Blue also has that masculine edge and shows people you like to channel your inner boy.





Purple

Purple is the colour of royalty. This colour also shows sophistication. You have spectacular manners, refined taste in fashion, food and fun, and you also carry a quiet confidence that is the envy of others. Plus if your a Justin Bieber fan it's his favourite colour!







Orange

People who wear orange are the most optimistic of the lot. They are bright and vibrant and nothing will get them down.




Brown or green

Brown or green coloured nail polishes are for the nature-loving lot. Energetic and spiritual, you love Mother Nature.










French manicure

This nail colour is the epitome of glamour. No one can quite keep up with your style and za-zoom. You don't need to say too much as your natural elegance exudes enough already. It can also show you are quite a neat person and proud of yourself.













I used Barry M nail polish images as I LOVE it! Any other good nail polish brands will have these colours, so go out there and find your colour :)

Cracked Bronzer trick!

Just a quickie today!


Dont you hate it when your bronzer falls and cracks? Well here's a great trick!
Get your broken bronzer and pour out the contents into a see-through plastic bag (Which easily shuts), then shake it around and break any lumps. Get some cream moisturiser which is completely natural, without colour if you like, and pour it into the plastic bag. Mix this together, and you will find you have a bronzer/cream which moisturises your skin whilst tinting it with the bronzer colour! This trick works just fine, I guarantee you will be pleased and it saves you money!

Dry Shampoo







Dry shampoo is an amazing product - it's one of my must haves. It's so easy to use and pleases people in a number of seconds. Say if you're in a bathroom, on a night out and you realise your hair looks not at it's best or slightly on the greasy side; dry shampoo solves this problem! Just spray your hair evenly and your hair looks immediately shinier and more attractive. I didn't believe this at first, but it really does work! You can use the original which comes in large and small size (The small fits in handbags easily!)


Or if you prefer your hair to smell nice as well as look great you can use special
 

ones with a tinted scent.

Nail Ink
















Don't you hate it when your nail polish chips and goes disgusting?! Use a base coat nail polish before you start to prevent it - it's so easy and quick to use. The base coat provides a strong base for the nail polish.  Not only does a base coat provide a smooth surface for color, but it can promote healthier nails and prevents the nails from discolouring. 


Personally, I LOVE Barry M nail polish - the colours are amazing, it is very easy to apply and not messy. I use it so much, I have almost all the colours; they're great for any occasion!







For best results you can use a top coat. Top coats act as a protective barrier- they prevent nail polish from fading and chipping and give you long lasting shine.

Lips and Eyes















LIPS


This lip balm is gorgeous, not only does it smoothen your lips but it adds that bit of colour to them too! Created by the award winning 'Beauty product women cannot live without' brand, Vaseline.



'Vaseline Rosy Lips'- rose and almond oil lip balm:




Or, you can go for a stronger look with lipstick or lipgloss'. Personally, I only use a bit of lipgloss as I like my make up very subtle and natural.
I use 'L'Oreal Paris 6 Hour Glam Shine' lipgloss. I use it a lot because it last a long time; not necessarily 6 hours, however, I still love it. Sometimes I put on a bit of vaseline, then lipgloss to make my lips more noticeable.


EYES




For my eyes I use the 'Too Faced Natural Eye Collection'. I love it as it is easy to apply and is perfect for any occasion. The kit comes with 3 different looks; Day, Classic or Fashion. It comes with everything you need too! There are little cards inside the box to show you how to create the looks. It is very easy to follow and I use it a lot.
