Lace Konad Nail Art

2011-12-03T06:42:00.000-08:00

Hello ,

Today I painted my nails with Nina Ultra Pro nail polish in the shade Punki Pink and used the Konad Nail plate M57 to get this great lace effect on my nails.

The Punki Pink is a super bright pink which looks a Orangey red shade when photographer which is annoying as its such a lush colour!

Ive used the Beauty Secrets nail hardener as a top coat as it makes my nail polish last longer than when Ive used my OPI one which is surprising.

Hope you like them x

Welsh Rugby World Cup Nails...

2011-10-18T06:23:00.000-07:00

Here are my mums nails which I painted for her for the Rugby World Cup Wales vs France last Saturday. Unfortunately Wales Lost but I was very pleased with this nail art as i was only supposed to be doing a french manicure and this idea came to me about 10 mins before my mum arrived to have them done.

I have painted a normal French Manicure and then on the 4th finger painted the whole nail white, Sponged on some green nail varnish for grass and in traditional welsh flag style painted WALES over the nail in red nail varnish :) x

Hope you like!

Where Have I Been???

2011-06-23T12:20:00.000-07:00

Hellooo

I Have been such a bad blogger recently :( I have been so busy finishing my uni work as it was my final major project and i have literally had no free time this past month!

I have decided not to start the BA fashion course next year as i am going to take a year out and venture into the big world with my own little project and hopefully it wont just be a year out it will be a productive and successful year meaning i don't have to return to uni at all :) That's what i'm planning on doing anyway ^_^ x

Here is a little post anyway just to let you know what i have been doing and planning on doing and also a FOTD as i have changed my foundation from Revlon colour stay which i love! and regretfully couldn't afford to re purchase as i was a little low on money last month due to my uni fashion materials so I have had to change to a foundation that was a little cheaper. I am now using the Rimmel 25 hour lasting finish foundation which i think is OK for the time being as its a little too slidey on my combination to oily skin but it is nice coverage. I dont think it lasts 5 hours let alone 25 hours on my skin but i do like how it looks on my skin for about 3 hours and it smells really fresh!

The headband , Earrings and Necklace are all presents from my lovely best friend Katie for doing well in my uni fashion show ^_^ she is such a good friend! And i love the necklace especially as its got an Eiffel Tower on it which is Craig and my favorite place! ♥

Let me know what you think of the Rimmel 25 hr foundation?

Hope your all well and looking forwards to summer :)

The Royal Wedding Guests Fashion...

2011-04-29T06:48:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Here just a few of the outfits worn today at the royal wedding by some of the family and Celeb guests.

I loved PIPPA MIDDLETON's dress .She wore a figure-hugging Alexander McQueen dress which was created by Sarah Burton the Creative Director of the fashion house and is a heavy, ivory based crepe with a cowl front and the same button detail and lace trims as the bride's.

AUTUMN KELLY and ZARA were keeping warm yet stylish in muted lilac and grey dress coats which i think looked lovely and i loved the Bow detailing on the back of ZARA'S Coat dress.

AUTUMN'S fascinator was lovely and i really liked the flowers and the colour and ZARA'S hat was really nice with the flower decor under the hat.

I really don't want to critasize anything to do with this great wedding but i have to with these two. PRINCESSES BEATRICE wore a Valentino couture number and Philip Treacy hat. I really hated this hat and didn't like the way the bow was on the front of her head in a stiff ' moose antler' way. It would have looked better if it was lower and placed more on the side of her head not right at the front.

And PRINCESS EUGENIE wore a ruffled style pundits' feathers with a royal blue and floral number by Vivienne Westwood. which i also didn't like much.

But thats just my opinion.

Mother of the bride CAROLE MIDDLETON looked elegant in a powder-blue Catherine Walker number and hat by Berkshire milliner Jane Corbett. I think she looked lovely and made sure she didn't out do the bride at all but still looks great!

THE QUEEN looked really nice in a lemon yellow Angela Kelly Dress and Matching hat.

Camilla wore a hand-embroidered dress by Anna Valentine, a Philip Treacy hat and Jimmy Choo shoes. I really liked what camilla was wearing suprisingly as i thought the colours were nice shades and her hat was very nice indeed.

Well... This next whole outfit is a mess lol and i wont even apologizes for slagging this women off as i think her outfit and nose were hideous. (maybe a little harsh) TARA PALMER TOMKINSON wore a royal blue Deborah Milner Dress , Phillip Treacy Hat and Nicholas Kirkwood heels. The Dress itself was actually quite nice but the gloves were awful and not elegant looking which clashed with her dress and heals and the hat just looked like something out of avatar connected to her nose. Not my Favorite Phillip Treacy hat at all!

After all that slagging we need a nice outfit to comment on...

Next is the lovely JOSS STONE. She wore a beautiful coral dress, heals and clutch which i personally LOVE! And some people are saying her hat looked as if she lent it from her gran but i think its lovely and not too over powering with the bright coral dress and matching heels.

DAVID CAMERON'S wife SAMANTHA CAMERON looked great in a this Burberry dress which is stunning and teal is a perfect colour for her.

DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM Really smart. VICTORIA opting for a dark navy, custom-made dress from her own collection.The loose shift dress was a world away from her usual ultra-fitted and fabulous look which i must say i do prefer but as she is pregnant i still think she should have maybe showed her bump off not hidden it. She still looked great though as always ,She finished the look with Christian Louboutin heels and a Philip Treacy couture fascinator, but she looked surprisingly nervous.

DAVID BECKHAM looked very smart in Ralph Lauren, accessorising with a Philip Treacy topper and his OBE.

Lastly we have CHELSY DAVY's look stunning in this Alberta Ferretti outfit with Victoria Grant fascinator. I really liked CHELSY's outfit altogether as i think it was a lush colour and super fitting for this April wedding!

And Thats it, My opinion on some of the Royal Wedding guests outfits. Mostly everyone looked great and there were many many fascinators that i LOVED which i would have liked to have shared with you but unfortunately i didn't know all the names of the guests.

What was your favorite outfit from the wedding guests today and what was your worst?

let me know x

The Royal Wedding...

2011-04-29T06:03:00.000-07:00

Awww today was The Royal Wedding of William and Kate and it was fantastic!

I watched the whole thing with my boyfriend Craig and we did really enjoy the whole coverage.

William and Harry looked really smart. William looked very calm and happy but Craig and i were a little worried about harry as he seamed to be swaying a little at the ceremony lol, we thought he may faint with nerves but thank god he didn't :)

Now onto Kate's dress...

WELL what can i say ,

I absolutely loved it!

What a lovely shape to show off her great figure and the lace ooohhhh i loved it! Kate wore a stunning ivory gown with lace appliquéd floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.

I cant say enough good things about todays event as it was all absolutely lovely!

I have to admit i cried when Kate walked up the isle and Will said to her ' you look absolutely beautiful , i love you ! '

awwww so cute!

And the kiss on the balcony was lovely especially with the pair of them giggling afterwards, so cute!

I hope you all enjoyed the royal wedding as much as we did :)

Konad M2 Design...

2011-04-27T11:11:00.000-07:00

Helloo, last week i ordered the Konad starter kit c off ebay and when it arrived i was a little disappointed as it wasnt working lol but after a few attempts Craig my lovely Bf figured it out for me lol. I was doing it too slow silly ! :P

So..since then ive tried a few designs on myself but not done it on anyone so when i went o my friends BBQ on Monday I tried out my Konad M2 with a nice bright red polish on my friends mum.

I also did the same red polish on her toes but with Barry M instate nail effect over it but with only half and half on the big toe nail with a diagonal of diamonds for a nice summer sparkle!

They looked really nice and not too much either which is just what she wanted :)

Uni Work-Fashion Shoot 4

2011-04-14T07:48:00.000-07:00

Hellooo,

And finally here is my 4th Uni project the final project untill i start my final major project on the 3rd of may.

We had to design and make a garment which has been inspired by a sci-fi film. I researched sci-fi films and there are tones obviously but i really wanted to make a dress out of Black Bin Bags lol so i checked if Batman was a sci-fi film and it was YAY! :)

I made a halter neck cross over bodice dress with a tulip/bubble skirt and it had one bat wing on the right side of the dress inkeeping with the batman theme,

I really like how this dress looks and was chuffed when the wing went exactly how i imagined it ^_^

Hope you like it ,

Uni Work-Fashion Shoot 3

2011-04-14T07:37:00.001-07:00

Hey ,

Here is my 3rd Uni project called 'Landscape'. We had to design and make a Skirt out of Calico canvas which we all HAD to use, that represented our chosen landscape or landmark.

I obviously chose Paris as i Loved Paris so much!

The embroidery took me quite a while and it wasn't easy due to Jodie (my cat) constantly trying to attack my thread going in and out of the skirt as she loves to play lol x

Hope you like it ,

Uni Work-Fashion Shoot 2

2011-04-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

Hey ,

Here are a few photos of my 2nd Uni project called 'Higgledey Piggledey' . We had to design

and make a garment completely out of old/recycled clothes/materials.

Ive mentioned this project before but here are the non grainy photo's.

I chose to laminated pages from an old recycled book and make material so that i could then sew a dress out of it and add a bubble wrap shoulder and tutu skirt.

Hope you like it!

Helloo , Here are a few photos of my 2nd project called 'The Home' Which i had to design and make a apron accoriding to the decade i got given which was chosen at random.

I got 1950's which i was chuffed with as i Love all that style anyway especially the Rockabilly 50's fashion.

So i designed and made this apron , a rockabilly/ classic mix of 50's inspired looks in pink and white gingham, white cotton fabric and white netting.

Hope you like the final outcome!

Virgin Hot Air Balloon Flight ...

2011-04-11T08:24:00.001-07:00

Up We Go.... 5200Ft!

2011-04-09T08:41:00.000-07:00

Hellooo,

Thursday Craig and I were treated to a Virgin Hot Air Balloon Flight which was absolutely amazing! I hate fair ground rides, flying in planes and wasn't sure if i was going to like heights or not but i LOVED it!

It was the most amazing experience and to be sharing it with the most amazing boyfriend in the world was just great!

The pilot briefed us before take off and said that we should get to between 2000-4000ft and we got to 5200ft which is a mile straight up! It was such a lush evening as well as we flew about half 6 till half 7 and it was sooo sunny!

Could'nt have wished for better weather.

It was a bit nerve-racking at first as we both weren't sure what to expect from it and We all got allocated jobs to help the launch of the balloon.

Craig got the job of making sure the cold inflation was done correctly by stearing a huge fan and i got the job of a ballast with the other women lol haha weighting down the basket as it was on its side ready to lift up and everyone else jumps in. I was very scared as i was lying on the floor in the basket with my back to the balloon's hot and cold inflation process and the noise was loud and close to my head lol.

It was sooo much fun though!

Once we'd got up in the air the views were amazing and Ive got loads of awesome photos to share with you!

The landing was so much fun as well as it landed on a hill in a random field and banged down 3 times and dragged along the floor before coming to a stand still which was fun :)

Ill also post pictures of the skid marks in the grass from our landing x

I defo recommend going on a hot air balloon ride if you get the chance as its brilliant and such a life experience! So glad we've done it now , and I can safely say I'm not at all scared of heights hehe x

Thanks for reading!

Fashion Shoot 1 - Recycled Project

2011-03-29T05:09:00.001-07:00

Hey girlie's,

Today was my first photo shoot in Uni and Here are a few of my non professional photographs of my dress that i made. It had to be made entirely out of recycled materials or unloved old clothes.

My dress is made from an old reading book which i have laminated to make a nice shiny material and added recycled bubble wrap as a tutu skirt and one shoulder over the arm.

The dress is a tulip style evening dress and I'm really pleased with how it looked overall and how the photo's turned out.

As ive said above these are the unprofessional ones the pro ones are coming soon as i have to pick them up Friday :) x so ill post as soon as ive got them :D x

Big Thanks to Lauren my model, For helping me out!

Zumba Fitness DVD

2011-03-25T09:52:00.000-07:00

I started the Zumba fitness Dvd's yesterday and they are so much fun!

Ive only done the basics and a 20 workout but overall that was 60 mins which flew by as i was having so much fun!

Ive flicked through the Sculpt and Tone and the Cardio Party and it looks lots of fun and like it will help me on my weight loss mission!

I need to get down to my ideal weight for my height which is about 9stone so i have about 2stone 2 loose and i'm going to be healthy eating and doing lots of Zumba. If i loose 2lb a week it will take me 14 weeks which makes it June time and i will be able to comfortably wear nice summer clothes :) x

ill keep you informed on my weight loss and let you know how the Zumba works for me.

17 Nail Xtras Crackle Top Coat Review

2011-03-25T08:41:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Yesterday I had the Pleasure of trying out the new 17 Nail Xtras Crackle Top Coat as my best friend Katie had bought it. This is a non bias review as i am not affiliated with 17 in anyway.

The nail effect is great, i absolutely loved the effect it gives your nails once it had died and it is a really nice shade of gold/silver lol looks different in different lights.

I painted the crackled top coat over my Leighton Denny Madison Nail polish and it looks lush!

It is a super smooth consistence and goes over the nail really nicely as it isn't gloopy at all. It took about 5minutes to do all of my nails starting with my thumbs on both hands and once you've done your 2nd hand, your 1st hand is dry and you can start painting a clear top coat over it.

I did find that i left it about half hour before I painted my clear top coat over the top as i painted my nails at my friends then drove home and painted my top coat on and the spaces in between the cracks had gotten bigger as i think i should have painted the top coat straight away once it had dried but i actually liked the bigger gaps so it depends on what look you want really.

You could paint this crackle shade over most nail polishes and i think it would look really nice over a navy shade or Nails Inc Jermyn street Nail polish.

So overall great polish and it cost £3.99 in boots which is great as Opi's Crackle nail polish costs around £10.

Since trying this nail polish i've just ordered Barry M's instant nail effects polish online in shades Black Magic, White Frost and Pink Fizz so will do a review on those as soon as they arrive ,

Cant Wait!

And Added bonus,

If your a Barry M Fan then if you order online before Monday you can use this code MONEY you get 20% off! Bargain!

Hope you like this review!

Uni Work -Design Project

2011-02-09T11:43:00.001-08:00

Hey here is a few pictures of my finished design project work. We had to design and make a corrugated 'Map of my life' . Each of the 10 panels represents a different aspect of me.

Panels explained-

1st Panel - When you started from.

I decided to not go down the same roite as everyone else and do my hometown or DNA or parent photos so i just did from when i started :) Me as a baby photographs and my birth tag.

2nd Panel - Name and personality word.

My name Sophie made from metal wire and my favorite colour teal quilting as a background with a little miss chatter box book to show my personality.

3rd Panel - favorite object.

Craig is but he isn't really an object of mine haha he is a person :) so i did my camera with my favorite photos that ive taken with it stuck on as-well.

4th Panel - Recurring dream or nightmare.

I love my bedroom as we have one of Craig's Vunk Wall stickers of the Eiffel tower above our bed so instead of doing a dream or nightmare i did where i have my dreams.

5th Panel - Where you are now.

Happy! with a crochet smiley face hehe.

6th Panel - Favorite book.

Coraline even i haven't read the book i love the film and it had to be a book so good job Coraline is a book as well as a film lol.

7th Panel - Favorite food.

Cupcakes yummy!

8th Panel - Favorite location.

Paris of course! Best place on earth ^_^ So there are photos from my 18th Bday present trip off Craig stuck on and tickets :)

9th Panel - Favourite sound.

Jodie my cat waking me up in the morning purrring in my face hehe she is tooo cute! So ive cut cats from a bday card and stuck them on this panel.

10th Panel - Ambition in life.

Fashion, design in the city! but its changed a little since i made this to fashion design and craft in the country ^_^

Hope you like this piece of work :)

Thanks for reading!

Hellooo :) I can finally tell and show you all what my surprise was hehe :)

I had my Braces off after 4 LONG years of wearing them ^_^!

I'm sooo chuffed with how my teeth look now and they feel so nice.

Craig bought me a McDonald's straight after we left the dentist as a celebratory meal hehe and I ate it so fast lol not having to stop due to braces!

Then I went and surprised my best friend Katie with my new teeth as she wasn't expecting it at all and was v.pleased for me.

Then i went and showed my dad who also wasnt expecting it so he was shocked aswell hehe.

Happy!!

Ive got some old photos of how my teeth were and how they look now. I'm sure ill have some newer photos to come aswell hehe :) x

Primark Haul!!

2010-12-04T10:27:00.000-08:00

Hi!!

Last week the new Primark opened in Cwmbran and Oh My God it is lovely, so organized and new lol. Craig Katie logan and I all took ourself's out for the day shopping last weekend as its Logans Christening soon as we all need outfits!

I bought 2 outfits but once I'd gotten home I had second thought that the dresses I bought were two casual for the christening, they are more like smart meal or Christmas day outfits than christening outfits but I cant bring myself to take them back to buy my new outfit which is more dressy so I'm now keeping both the new dresses and buying more clothes for the christening lol he he what are us girls like ai!

So here is my Primark mini haul and at the bottom of this post ill include pictures of the new outfit I'm getting this week ^_^

Navy Dress- £9

(I'm changing the buttons to gold ones to match the navy & gold bag)

Grey Dress £9

(I've already changed the Buttons from silver to gold to match the handbag)

These are the new gold buttons from my button collection

Navy & Gold bow Handbag -£6

Below is the new outfit I will definitely be wearing to the christening he he. But not with the Channel Bag lol with a cheaper dupe! and the shoes aren't the right ones either but ill take a full OOTD christening photo on the day :) x

Lace smock top-£26.99 newlook

Black skinny jeans- £8 primark

Black Shoes- £15 Peacocks

Decembers Glamour Issue- Free Nails Inc. polish

2010-11-04T11:36:00.000-07:00

Helloo girlie's, Today craig and I went to do my weekly house shopping and as we were strolling throught the magazine isle I realised that Glamour magazine's decmeber issue had a free Nails Inc nail varnish in and it was only £2 for the mag with 4 colours to choose from :) YAY!

So after much deciding I chose the Jermyn street nail colour as I haven't got a mauve / browney shade yet in my collection and its very IN fashion this autumn/winter. So I rushed home put all the shopping away quickly and painted my nails with this lovely new nail varnish.

Well to start off the formula is perfect, went on seamlessly and two coats gave me great coverage. Its also mega shiny and looks as thought I've put my top coat on before I have. Its lovely and a nice nude brown shade but not too nude to blend in with your fingers but nude classy as a matt black nail varnish looks, perfect for the office. Its also perfect for an Autumn/ winter work week nail shade, if you know what I mean.

Basically I LOVE it! :)

Defo recommend getting this glamour mag as well as its a great read and has loads of lush hair,nails and make up looks for winter and Xmas time :) and lots of great winter party looks! I'll post pictures of the polish on tomorrow as the lights rubbish now for a true representation of the shade.

Hope you enjoyed this post, Have you tried any of the Nails Inc. nail polishes yet? what's your favourite shade? Let me know girlie's x

Halloween!!!

2010-11-01T07:40:00.000-07:00

Helloooo, Last night was Halloween and Craig and I went to Katie's mum Lesley's house for a little party. And Logan Katie's son was dressed as a little pumpkin aww he looked so cute! and then he changed into a glow in the dark skeleton outfit, little cutie!

Craig and I went as the Queen of hearts and the Mad Hatter from the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film, but we tweaked it a lil to suit us so we were ' Queen Of Craig's Heart' and 'The Mad Beanie Hatter ' lol funny :) x

Here are the pictures of us dressed up, Hope you like our make up!

Uni Art Project 1- Classical Architecture

2010-11-01T07:03:00.000-07:00

Hello again , here are a few pictures of my first project at uni. Its called classical architecture and i had to research, design and make my own classical structure and then once that was made draw 3 A1 tonal drawings of my structure using charcoal, so that was a hugeeee challenge and all in 2 weeks ! :O But i did it and it was on time lol! achievement in its self lol

We were told we could make our structure out of what ever we wanted and it had to be entirely white. Most people make it out of cardboard as we had a card engineering workshop one day last week. But me being me I had to be different and challenge myself to making it entirely out of textiles.

I'm so glad I've finished this project now though as my back was in bits from constantly sewing on my sewing machine for 4 days non stop. but I'm v. pleased with the finished result and as i don't really draw fine art I draw design drawings I found the A1 work quite hard but I'm pleased with them. :)

Thanks for reading , hope you like my structure :) x

Sally Hansen's French manicure set ...

2010-11-01T06:44:00.000-07:00

hello girlie's , I'm sooo sorry I've been such a terrible blogger atm I've just started uni and I have been soo busy. This is my first weekend off in 3 weeks as I've had my first project and I've just finished and handed that in Friday so I'm free to blog untill tuesday when my 2nd project starts.

So Here is my first post since the Th and its on my sally Hansen French manicure set I had for my birthday. Its great , the formula is lovely and is very easy to apply, it looks a lil streaky but once its dried its lovely and no streaks so that's good :) Its the Nearly Nude kit and its very natural and in a good way makes mine and my best friend Katie's natural nails look like fake ones which is good :)

I highly recommend this French manicure kit and it stayed chip free for about 5 days without top coat and with the Sally Hansen diamond shine base and top coat applied stayed chip free and shiny for over a week.( and that's on busy mummy nails and uni art student nails, so great chip resistant!)

Hope you like this post, I've missed my Blog friends these last few weeks :(

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara review...

2010-10-09T14:48:00.000-07:00

helloo again , I recieved this mascara from my lovely bf craig as part of my birthday presents and i asked for this mascara as i heard lots of good reviews and comments about this product and wanted to see what all the hype was about for myself.

I LOVE this product , the hype is all because its AMAZING! If your looking for instant thickness, fullness, mega length and curl then this is the mascara for you! its every girls dream as far as mascaras are concerned. I also received the Falsies by maybeline off my dad and that mascara is amazing for fullness and volume but not as good as the Accelerator for length and also looks less naturally fabulous than the Lash Accelerator. I cant say enough about this product as its truly awesome! will defo re purchase when this one runs out. The mascara states ...

The advanced ultra-lengthening formulainstantly makes lashes appear up to 80% longer.

Overtime, the unique Grow-Lash Complex strengthens, nourishes and renews lashes to promote natural lash growth for up to 117% longer looking lashes after 30 days.

And it definitely does what it says on the tube as it defo makes the lashes appear up to 80% longer as one stroke of the wand and I actually said ' OH WOW!' Out loud to myself in my hall way in the mirror haha. I ran straight up stairs its Craig getting ready to go out and just stared at him and he said straight away despite the staring haha he noticed straight away they look naturally longer and not clumpy and think as some mascaras I have tried before. I cant vouch for the Grow-Lash complex yet as its only been a week since my bday but is will defo keep you updated in the next month or so on how it lives up to what it states x

Hope you enjoyed this post, have you tried this mascara yet, how do you like it?

Thanks for reading!

New Hair for my birthday wooo!!!

2010-10-09T06:12:00.000-07:00

Hellooo, you may have noticed in my last post that my hair colour is a bit brighter than my last photos as ive had it dyed and cut again all ready for my birthday ( this post is a bit late my bday was the 3rd ) x

This time I've dyed it different colour to usual as its still a Schwartzkopf live colour but this time its the Real Red hair colour not my usual Burnished Red. I absolutely love this hair colour as its a brighter red than normal but its still got an orangey ginger twinge which I love!

Excuse the tired looking me and the dark photos you can see the true colour in my birthday post x

Hope you like it!
