Back To Barbie!

Call me crazy but I've gone backwards! Don't get me wrong it's fun to be all quirky and trendy but I've been chanelling my inner Barbie with my latest beauty choices with a full head of blonde highlights and baby pink nails!

Having spent 4 hours in the beauty salon on Tuesday I came out revived and ready for yet another style change. Keeping up with the street-chic grunge looks can be quite depressing and, truth be told, I was hoping the baggy beanies and slouchy sneakers would be left in the Winter months along with the snow and fluffy socks.

Anyhow, I chose OPI's Pink Friday for my main colour then OPI's Pussy Galore for that cheeky nail that everyone decides to mix up:




 

 
So, who was in my Nail Look Book this month? A very eclectic mix, I can tell you! From Katie Price to Blake Lively I'm loving everyone and anyone blonde and pink at the moment:
 

It's not just me gettin' my Barb on, either, as it seems the colour pink is making the fashion rounds at the moment - even HRH The Queen rocked up to the Races in a pastel pink ensemble:




 
Barbie never looked so good!

Jessica Ennis' Stunning Wedding Glamour

Showcasing chic and understated glamour, Jessica Ennis married her childhood sweetheart on Saturday 18th May in the picture-perfect Derbyshire countryside.

The 27-year-old Olympic gold-medallist tied the knot to Andy Hill wearing an ivory sleeveless gown complete with a ruffle tulle skirt and exceptionally classic hair and make-up. 



Having been together for over eight years, the couple chose the charming village of Hathersage in Derbyshire where members of the public burst into applause as they caught a glimpse of the bride and groom.

Choosing such a classy look suits Jess down to the ground! Proving that less can be so much more, everything about the bride is pulled off with utter perfection; to the point where I had to stop and stare at the photos for a good few moments: From the French mani to her trademark statement brows every simple detail is professionally polished.



Wearing her winning smile as her most dazzling accessory, Jess looked like the happiest girl in the world on Saturday! Congrats to the happy couple!

Spring Pastel Mani

Got my nails done today - wayyy overdue as the other ones were cracking off all over the place!
 
Loren Ridinger Tweeted THIS:
 
 
Which I simply ADORE - the layered design, the pretty pastels, the dainty shape: It is all so perfect for the Spring transition.
 
I decided I wanted something like that - but with a bit more attitude.
So I got THIS:
 
 
A combination of:
 
 
 
& Technician's own Gold polish
 
I LOVE to mix up my nails art every now and then to add a little pizazz to proceedings! I'm so glad to have them cut down too - I couldn't even do my shirt buttons up this morning!
 
What other nail trends are there at the moment? Has anyone tried the nail wraps before? I may experiment with them in the future.
