Halloween Nails

 
For today's post, I have a tutorial for spider web nails. These always seem popular and I haven't done a Halloween design yet. For this I used a black nail polish, a copper glitter polish and a white nail art pen - you could use a cocktail stick or hair grip instead.
 

The first step is to paint all your nails black. My favourite nail polish is the No.7 Patient Black - you only need one coat and it dries really quickly with a glossy finish. 

After that I added lines, coming from one point, using a white nail art pen. You can add these from any edge of your nail. To complete the spider webs put little curved lines in between the main lines (see photo).

 
You can decide the number of nails you add the spider webs to. To any remaining nails I added a copper/orange glitter nail polish from Miss Sporty. This particularly fits with the Halloween theme. I also tried to add a spider hanging from the top of my nail. I created a white circle and little legs, finishing it off with a line to connect it to the top of my nail. This didn't really turn out the best...

Thankyou for reading, have a lovely October half term an Halloween. If you want any other nail tutorials, let me know. Bye

Autumn Makeup Essentials

 
Today I have gathered together a few of my favourite products for the autumn to show you all. You all know how much I love Autumn!!
 
For me Autumn is all about the dark shades of nail polish. I've chosen to include the NO.7 nail polish in Patient Black and Star Shower - this is a gold/grey shade. I love the quality of these nail polishes. I think a grey nail polish is also an essential, BarryM Gelly Hi Shine in Chai, and I've also chosen a vampy red shade, Tanya Burr in Riding Hood. Onto lips; I've always struggled with the Berry toned Autumn lipsticks, they never suit me, but I have recently picked up the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 08 this is a slightly lighter purple/berry shade, this suits me a lot better than the darker lip shades. I totally recommend picking this up if you struggle to find the right berry shade like me -the lipstick is also great quality. And for more of a nude lip, I always go for the Revlon lip Lacquer in Ingenue. For eyes I have picked out two gold/bronze products, the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and on Bronze this is a classic makeup item that many of you will probably already own or know about - the Colour tattoos are really long lasting cream eyeshadows. And for a normal eyeshadow I picked out this NO.7 bronze eyeshadow - I got this in a gift set so I have no idea what it is called. Again this is a really good quality product. And finally for a darker eye look I chose the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Permanent Taupe, this is a grey/taupe shade, perfect for a darker eye look.
 
 
Thankyou for reading. As I'm writing this I am sooo close to 10k views which is crazy, thankyou soo much. Next week I have a Halloween nail tutorial (sneak peak on my twitter @megansw0rld). Goodbye.

Autumn Q&A


 
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Todays post is a short Q&A - make sure you're following my Instagram for the next one.  It's really starting to get more and more Autumnal now - I love it!
 
 
@t.absss
What is your Autumn essential?
There are few for me, but you can't beat a cosy oversized jumper in Autumn - Would anyone like to see a Autumn essentials blog post??
 
@_emma__c & @emsirose
What's your favourite/ go to Autumn Lipstick?
I'm a very nude lip kinda girl, I think at the moment I've been wearing a Revlon Colourburst Lacquer Balm in 145 Ingenue - it's a browny nude shade. However I really want to find myself more of a darker / Autumnal lipstick, any recommendations let me know.
 
@thriftyvintagefashion
What is your favourite thing to watch on TV that starts in Autumn?
I love that it is beginning to get near to the X factor live shows - that's my favourite part of the show as well as the first auditions. It's also exciting that some Christmas shows/ films are being shown on TV, I think Channel 4 had a whole day of Christmas shows the other week. I've not watched any Christmas films... yet.
 
@gee.bee.xo
What are you being for Halloween?
I'm not really sure if I'm doing anything for Halloween this year, but at school we are having a Halloween dress up day. I might go as a witch with stripy tights or my friend suggested that I could just dress up in black and be a shadow...
 
Thankyou for reading. Hope you're loving Autumn so far. See you next weekend, goodbye.

Happy 100th Post!

I've officially reacted 100 blog posts on this blog. It seems like ages ago that I created this blog and I have had so much fun. I didn't really have any ideas for  this post but I had recently been having a look at some quotes on Pinterest for my graphics project - there was a few that I liked and I'm going to share them with you. This is a post you can come back to if your feeling unhappy or stressed and read all of the positive quotes. Thankyou soo much for all the lovely comments, follows and views, I love you all <3
