Nude Nails Review

 

 

 

I've been obsessed with the nude/ neutral tones for a while now.

From shoes to accessories, if it comes in nude I'll take it.It's the

 new black in my colour palette. When I received a package from

Revlon that was made up of this nail vanish I was enthusiastic to

use it.

 

Painting my nails was a breeze. I did 3 coats as it is a very clear vanish.

I recently did intense research on Youtube on how to achieve perfect

 painted nails at home. I have to say the tutorials helped me as

I did this paint job on my 1st attempted.

 

This Nail Vanish is called 380 ELEGANT. Not sure if the name has

changed or the retail price.

 

My Review:

It dried fast and was effortless to apply.The end results didn't last long

 as it started chipping on the same day as I painted them. (it could be

that I am just a tad wild as I didn't  encounter this problem with the

other nail vanish that came in the same package.)

Kinoma Fun

Hello Hello Hello! Finally, I have some alone time with the laptop and I can blog. Recently I haven't blogged as much as I would of love to but that is because I didn't have access to the laptop since Zack (the brother) clings to it.

So moving on I will get on with todays look post. I am obsessed with kimonos and anything chiffon. I searched for a one similar to what I would see when I searched kimonos in the stores, but what I found was over priced pieces of fabric passed for kimonos so I am a designer I figured I just as well make my own.

The idea was to have a full length kimono with 3/4 sleeves this was my 1st attempt and I am rather surprisingly happy with the results. I went for a geometric fabric in a colour I don't have in my closet, this same fabric came in orange and pink, but I felt this shade suited my personality on the day of purchase better.

February

February is my birthday month. Yay me. I figured since I have a few days left of being 24 I would share my experiences.

For some reason I felt extra cool being 24. I felt I knew who I was as a person, I had dealt with my insecurities and I found my part to walk. I love being 24 and most of all I love the space I am in right now and I feel this is the time in my life where I'm making the best memories. I am a matured person to handle myself in an irresponsible way. 

February is the shortest month and I feel so special being born in this month. My sister and I are both February babies, but share different star signs. February in South Africa is when summer had set in, in full swing and every day is a wonderful warm day and you settle in to the new year and of course it has a Valentines day for the romance lovers.

My look: I still am in love with my Converse. I prefer wearing it with a dress, maybe as the temperature drops I'll try them with pants. I love my hair atm even thou load shedding has got me good as I had to wash and wear so to say, but I think after the blue hair I'm comfortable and enjoying this "normal" brunette look I have.

Review on The Body Shop Hairbrush with Bamboo Pins

I first was came across this hair brush when I was studying at a design school in Hyde Park Corner. In my lunch breaks I would pop into The Body Shop to pick up what's new and enjoy the beautiful aromas that accompanied the beauty products. I'm totally for a plastic free lifestyle, especially in a society.

When I came across the wooden brush I didn't think a great deal of it as my 1st thoughts were that, it will hurt like a b**ch to brush through my hair as I have hair that tangles very easily. I recently began doing research into organic treatments for hair growth that is when I discovered a brush with wooden pins are great for the hair. I decided to risk it and get a wooden brush.

The brush usually is priced at RSA 95 but I manage to find it on sale. 

I was not sold on the brush 100% until I used it for the 1st time, my gosh, it was soft against my scalp I enjoyed the brush strokes through my hair, it didn't pull or get tangled. It was simple, soft, refreshing and comforting. I find myself brushing my hair throughout the daytime because of the softness it leaves after brushing. 

Overall, I definitely recommend this product. In my research to better healthy hair good tools are the key to success.

 

Loving Oneself

A big question I have is do, I love myself too much or simply enough? If you don't love yourself, you are believed to be insecure and if you love yourself a bit too much, you are considered conceited, so where is the line where you love yourself just enough?

I have a few questions to help figure this out.

1. Do you like the way you look, but realize that there certain times you don't actually look your best? 

2. Do you know what are your best features and what parts need work? 

3. Do you constantly battle weather to stay home and be in your own company rather than be in the company of others?

I think if you answered Yes to most or all my questions, you are fine and love yourself the right amount.

My outfit thoughts: I was inspired by boyish, natural diva glamour look for this post. I love the pearl collar on the top and feel its adds elegance to look which paired well with my lip colour. These jeans have been apart a part of my look post for a long time  as one of the 1st fashion post I did were of them. My shoes reminds me boys school shoes and the fact that they are in silver made them a whole lot better.

Accounts

Are you one of those people that owns an account at every retail store? I recently opened my 1st ever account at a retail store, and was awarded a nice opening balance. I still haven't used it up to now. I feel I rather have the money and buy than to buy it with the hope of paying it off. There are a lot of people who can control an account and then there are people who can't. I still don't know which person I am. I do possess a strong self control, but gorgeous clothes are my weakness.

I suppose having an account at a good retailer where you can buy school uniforms, work attire, or funeral/wedding clothes make sense. There are times we need the clothes, but don't have the money. An account helps, but when you are shopping from store to store just to have for the sake of having them, that could lead to problems.

What are your thoughts on having an account? Leave a comment below.

 

This dress reminds me of an inner slip, its sexy and the lace detail at the bottom of the dress is the main reason I actually bought it. The dress is lined and kept me cool through out the day.

This dress might be a bit racy for work but perfect for a social event.

Best Ideas

Do you ever wonder why you, can do your best work an hour before the deadline? Or when you are finally laying in bed and BHAM you have a great idea or outfit inspiration? I have no idea why it happens, but I do write down every idea I ever get. I have an idea book. I'm likely never going to use 90% of the ideas written down, but sometimes the one idea is the foundation to an even greater idea.

People often ask me what is my end game and I often answer to marry rich. We laugh and then there is this awkward silence, I often wonder what is that person thinking. Am I not pretty enough to bag a rich dude or did they just realize I'm a gold digger? I often respond I'm joking, but most jokes have truth behind it. 

My truth behind I would like to marry rich, he should be rich with adventure, life, love, hope. If he happens to have money great but I don't want to ride on anyone's back or expect the man to carry the financial  burden alone, so when I have even the smallest idea, I write it down, because you never know which of your ideas can be that Billion dollar idea!

any effort as well as gives me great support and height.
