Silver nail foils*…

Silver nail foils*: Born Pretty

A bit of a different nail post today. As my nails are short again, I thought it would be a good opportunity to try out these lovely silver nail foils from Born Pretty.

I have tried Nail Rock foils out before & quite frankly, I thought they were a bit of a faff to put on (cue me fannying around with a hairdryer & nail file, trying to attach them to my nails, total faff) & they didn’t last very long.

These ones however, I actually really enjoyed applying! They were really easy to attach to my nails & there was no hairdryer required! Wooo! & considering I have showered, done the washing up & fake tanned etc since applying them, these babies have held up pretty well!

What do you think? Have you ever tried nail foils before?

DIY glitter brogues…

These are now officially the glitteriest shoes I own & they were so easy to make too! I have been wanting to buy a pair of glittery shoes for a while & I really like the silver ones Primark have in their A/W lookbook. However they are not in stores yet & I couldn’t wait so I thought I would just have a go at making my own.

Long story short, I found my old Primark brogues, bought some glitter & glue, mixed the glitter & glue into a paste, painted it all over my brogues & hey presto, I now have a lovely pair of glittery shoes! ^_^

Just bare in mind if you are going to try this out yourself that you have to be quite patient, you have to wait for each layer of glue to dry before adding the next, & it will only work on quite sturdy shoes like brogues/boots rather than say, ballet pumps otherwise the glue will end up cracking whenever the shoes bend.

let me know if you give this a go! Send me your links, I would love to see your DIY’s! ^_^
