A craft blog about paper craft, sewing, knitting and baking. I've always loved making things but started card making in 2012 after I found I could make my own wedding invites how I wanted them and for a fraction of the cost, plus it was fun to do! I love stamps, digistamps, die-cutting, colouring in and just getting lost in my own world while I craft. In 2013 I became a Spectrum Noir Accredited Colorist. I hope you enjoy my reviews and blog posts.

Nail wrap results!
Fingers crossed these now last!
Nails Inc Nail Wraps
I'm doing them in the bedroom as Lee is on the PS3 and don't think he'll appreciate the hair dryer going on and off.
I brought the purple leopard print ones while on a dash to Boots while at work to get Strepsils due to a sore throat and cold.
Fingers crossed this works....then fingers crossed they stay on my nails for a few days at least!

Baby Foot Update... Day 3
*sits and waits*

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain
I tried Avon's Ever Lasting Lipstick and Glosses but didn't like them and they didn't last.
I went into Boot and they had £2 off of this, but the problem was there were no samples and the colours all looked really bright. I'd taken my Fiance with me and he didn't really help me with advise on what colour to get (well what would he know about lipstains!) so I finally went with the palest/natural I could see which was Beloved.
I tried it when I got it and it was a bit tricky to apply with the nip, so I tilted it and used the side of the pen and this worked great as it was fast even coverage.
I left it to dry for 30 seconds and then put the balm on top. It looked great! I love this as the balm isn't sticky and I can still kiss my Fiance without him pulling a face due to sticky balms/glosses or rubbing his lips to take the lipstick off of him.
I've worn this a few times and it looks natural and brightens my lips as they are usually quite pale. It also usually lasts all day too which is great for work!
I'll definately be buying this again.
Boux Avenue Stuff Arrived Wednesday

Inside the gift box |
I love the box it came in too and how it was packaged! It came with the lovely White Chiffon scented petals too!
If you like the White Chiffon scent (the smell you can smell in Boux Avenue Stores) they currently have 1/2 price off of their body washes, soaps, hand washes, body creams, hand creams. My mum kindly brought me the body wash and I brought the hand wash both of which are lovely!
I'm just waiting for my diffuser in my room to run out and then I'm buying the Boux Avenue White Chiffon reed diffuser, room scent and candle! (yes I'm going to town!... although it will cost me over £50.... as the diffusers are £20 each) but its so worth it!
Baby Foot Update
I've taken before photos and will take photos each day something happens (ie when they start to peel) my main concern with my feet is my big toes as they have mega hard skin at the side where my feet rub on my shoes so hopefully this will sort my feet out.

Nails Inc - QVC Purchases - Update
My sister currently has the pink shade (Strawberry Hill) as she is borrowing it.
I've so far now worn all the colours apart from Strawberry Hill as I gave it to my sister the day I got them.
This is Haymarket and is a nice bright plum colour.
Sorry photo is from my iphone so its not really bright on the photo and I have the living room light on as it's dark. I gave my mum my camera to take to Rome with her so sorry for the bad quality photo.
The other day I wore the green, Spring Mews, to work and its a brightish minty green and on co-worker said how bright it was! It certainly is brighter on your nails under bright lights.
This pictures is more like the actual colour. I quite like this colour and was looking for a colour like this for ages.
I really love these colours and have been wearing Nails Inc Soho Silk under them with Brixton topcoat which makes them nice and shiney.
The wear on them is usually 1 - 2 days with a bit of chipping and a lot of chipping if I wash my hair (strange but true). Although yesterday I wore the brown shade (Maple Street) and it chipped within a few hours :( and it was very noticable as its very dark brown, almost black looking in dull lit areas. I think it's mostly due to wearing the Soho Silk though as I find although it strengthens my nails, my varnishes slip off and peel quicker.
Really loving this set though, and for £19 it's amazing!
