Union Jack Nails

So its obvious I havent got the steadiest hands in the world but when I got invite to a Jubilee party I had to let my nails join in the fun too right?!

Its fun, bright and is great for this time of year. Im sure the Queen would love it!

I used - 

Barry M, Bright Red 

Barry M, Navy

Gosh, Nail Whitener

Its pretty simple.. all I did was paint my ring finger nail white (although a pure opaque white would have been better) then with a fine paint brush i painted in the red cross and added the blue in between. It would probably have been much neater if I had used a toothpick to draw it on! Noted for next time!

GlossyBox February 2012

Like my mum pointed out today, about 70% of the excitement from getting a Glossy Box each month is the 'opening the box ceremony'. I get far too giddy to see what is in it.. Its like getting a birthday present every month.
 This month, yet again, Glossy Box didn't fail to impress me. Usually there is always one product I'm not too bothered about (in today's case was the shower gel) but there is always a beauty in there (which today was the lip and cheek stain *love*)

Awapuhi By Paul Mitchell - Wild Ginger Treatment Oil

BECCA - Beach Tint in Watermelon

BM Beauty - Pure Mineral Eye Shadow in Noir

Como Shambhala - Invigorate Shower Gel

Dr Bronner - Lavener Hand Sanitiser

So like I said above the Becca lip and cheek stain is by far my favourite product in this months box. The colour is perfect and brilliant for every day wear and also very buildable. When you only pay £10 a month (plus £2.95 p&p) for the Glossy Box, at 7ml, this is a full size product which cost £20...you do the math.....s!

After a night of girly gossiping with my lovely friend Lindsay (Totally Baked Cakes) I think I have convinced her to join us in the glossy fun!
