This week on Instagram.

Here we are, once again! This weeks edition of 'This week on Instagram'. Have you missed it? There's a fair few more pictures this week than last, which is much better. I'm still out of house at the moment, until next weekend. Which is starting to become a bit of a pain! But I'm coping well enough. Not a lot of news this week, though. I'm sure I'll be pretty boring until I move into my new place. 

So here are the Instagram uploads of the week, I hope you enjoy them! A little earlier today, which is the first in a while!

If you'd like to follow me on Instragram my username is Taylalatbh or Click Here to add me.

The cake I made from last weekend. We ate it last Sunday for the WWE PPV.

New clothes! I bought a lovely Hello Kitty jumper this week. Check out what else I bought here.

I woke up and half my hair was straight, the other was curled. Weird!

Yummy bacon sandwich my grampy made for me! Nom!

Another of my new buys, Kermit t-shirt!

The gems I ordered arrived! Now I just need to find some glue and I can start deco-ing!

Played a very nerdy game this week. Flying a spaceship 'nd such.

Tilly, styling my Kinder Egg toy on her head, does she like it?

Yummy cakes they had in the restaurant. I didn't have any :(

The meal I had, a massive sandwich! Struggled so much to eat it -.-

Tilly's in the bag! She loved it in there.

New Revlon lipstick I bought, review to come!

Snacks for last night. Yummy.

Kitty's getting cosy. They're never like this!

They must only be nice to each other while they're sleeping!

 So there we have it, this weeks uploads! Slightly better content than last weekend, full of cats again, too! Hopefully more images to come next weekend, but that's moving time so we'll see how it goes!

Don't forget to add me on Instagram and Twitter for more updates.

Pretty Toes!

Konnichiwa.

After receiving my nail art gems in the mail the other day, I decided I would paint my toe nails and add a few gems to it!

What I used..

Firstly I started off with Collection 2000 2 in 1 Base Coat. It's the starting point for any of my nail art. Also in the image is the Collection 2000 2 in 1 Top Coat, the finisher to my nail art!

Here we have the box of gems in a variety of colours and an old mechanical pencil with a bit of blue-tac (it's white, really) for picking up the gems and placing them on the nails.

The colour I used for the nail art was recently bought 193 Black Cherries by Rimmel.

A quick run down of what I did.

1. File and shape toe nails.
2. Apply base coat, wait to dry.
3. Apply first coat of polish colour, wait to try.
4. Apply second coat of polish colour.
5. Quickly dab on gems where needed while polish is still wet.
6. Wait for nails to completely dry. (I usually use a hair dryer on cold to help it along)
7. Apply a generous layer of top coat, wait to dry.

Then you should have this..

Very basic design, but very affective. The gems have lasted on my toes for the whole weekend, and they still seem pretty strong. I won't be changing the design until one falls off or it chips a lot. So I'm very impressed.

Simple but affective.

What do you think?

Have you tried using gems in your nail art before?

Busy Busy Weekend!

This weekend has been exhausting! I was up until 5AM for two nights in a row and I'm shattered, hoping to get my sleeping pattern back on track in the next few days.

This was the weekend of the WrestleMania PPV, my first. And it was awesome! I had a really good time but it was so tiring being up all night. A big gang of us went out for dinner first which was lovely, then we came back to...

WrestleMania cake! This was the most chocolatey cake ever, it was so, so good. Hopefully it'll become a PPV tradition.

This was my WrestleMania day outfit. Supporting CM Punk with his 'In Punk We Trust' shirt, saved to wear for that day and my light green leopard print jeans. (excuse the awful image!)

Here's my usual 'picture of a cat'!

Meet Tilly. She's lovely.

On my weekend travels I came across this little guy in the bakery shop. He was so big! I should have gotten one. Nommy.

Mail Call!

I picked this up and I just couldn't work out what it was! I shook it, and it rattled! I've forgotten all what I've ordered over the past few weeks so I had no idea.

But it was gems! It finally clicked when I got the package open (obviously!) but I'm very pleased to have gotten this package. I can now start on some better nail art with some shiny little gems!

These were bought off eBay for £1.54. It's claimed that there's 3000 pieces in their, but I'm skeptical. Either way, really good price for what it is! Colour wise we have: Light pink, white/clear, orange, light green, lilac, red, purple, blue, pink, yellow, green and light blue.

This is the size of them, very tiny!

Good selection of colours and they're about 2mm diameter so quite small and really good for nail art. I can't wait to get started on my nails! I think I might get some larger ones to start some decoden.

I should be getting more substantial blog posts together soon, make this more worth reading!

Until next time.
