#BritishBloggerSelection: Favourite Clothes Shop

Hello everyone. How are you all? I have a day off work today as I am working Saturday, I feel this day off is well needed as I am feeling a bit under the weather.

Today I have this week's #BritishBloggerSelection post, this week the theme is my favourite clothes shop. I wouldn't say I have a favourite clothes shop to be honest, I have a few that I like but I'm not sure one stands out on its own for me. However I have recently been eyeing up this dress from Topshop and I do quite often find things I like in Topshop. So I decided to do a design based on that dress.

I started with a white base using my unnamed Color Club white.

Over the white I used a technique I saw by Chalkboard Nails here. To do this I used Rimmel - Black Cab and wiped most of the polish off the brush on the neck of the bottle. I swiped the brush over the nail, but as there wasn't much polish on the brush it gave a patchy effect.

Finally I freehanded the silhouettes of the flowers with a detail brush.

I was pleased with how these came out, they have made me want the dress even more now! I am hoping santa might see this post and take the hint lol.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks for looking.

Inspired By A Dress.

Hello lovelies. I hope we all have exciting weekends planned, I was working this morning so my weekend starts now!

I had no idea what to call this design, hence my very creative title. I was browsing the Topshop website and spotted this dress (which I think I might need). I thought it was very pretty, but instead of blowing £34 I decided to put it on my nails instead.

I used a base of Barry M - Watermelon. This is a lovely polish but stained my nails like a bitch, even when I doubled up on base coat.

I then used Revlon - Minted and a striping brush to make sort of like tiger/zebra stripes.

Finally I freehanded all the little squares with a detail brush and a white creme. This was ridiculously fiddly.

I wasn't sure about these at first, but they grew on me and I ended up quite liking them. They are far from perfect, tiny squares are hard to paint! I was also hoping to get more of the design on the nail, but that kinda went out the window, oh well.
