What I Wore • Necklace & Bracelet Stack
I am absolutely in love with the current stacking trend. I have been on the hunt for necklaces to stack since Christmas and when out shopping Saturday I found some of the perfect ones! The short heart necklace and "luck" necklace were from Accessorize and the middle two necklaces were from the Next Sale, they were exactly what I had been looking for; dainty yet still detailed. I would wear them in the Winter with a simple high necked jumper, so as not to draw any attention away from the necklaces, and in the Spring/Summer with a light floaty shirt like the one from Whistles which I am wearing in the picture. Gold isn't my usual colour however I couldn't resist these beauties as they all looked so gorgeous together!

Tutorial - Roses
I've made this tutorial using four different base colours to show the variation that you can achieve, depending on the look you're going for. My personal favourite is the dark flowers on the baby blue base.
Antique Rose
This is a photo of my nail art from last weekend, as my work bag is Cath Kidston I had been looking at it quite a bit throughout the week and decided to give it a try...

Lego House
For something completely different I thought I would try nails inspired by music, as my other half is slightly Ed Sheeran obsessed he was the first to come to mind.
I used a brush to paint on the '+', then a sponge for the gradient and a dotting tool to paint the paw print.
I was really quite pleased with the outcome of these nails, if you have done any music/song/artist inspired nails please post in the comment box!
This is the paw print and album cover that inspired this look:

Cute Cupcakes
Sorry I haven't posted in so long! Really haven't been keeping up with this very well, and also a lot of my nails have broken *sad face*
Anyway here's a tutorial I made for cupcake nails:
Firstly I painted the end of the nail pink and used a striping brush to make darker pink stripes.
I then used a dotting tool to paint the white "icing" on the cupcake.
Using the other end of the dotting tool I painted on the sprinkles and cherry on top.
Had I been doing this on all of my nails I would have painted the rest with spots as shown I the picture.
I hope you liked this and if you try it yourself please post a link in the comment box!
