Lady Bug Says ... Aztec Nails

Evening lovelies!

Hope you have all had a good week, I have been doing my first aid re-qualification the past few days, forgot how knackering doing CPR on those plastic dummy's is!

I thought I would show you a little nail art that I am currently sporting, some pretty Aztec print on my ring fingers.

The base colour is a pretty coral pink polish that I received in my RAK swap parcel, MUA Shade 4. The taupe is my favourite Models Own 'Slate Grey' and the black patterns were done with the Models Own nail art pen. I used some french tip stickers that I bought from Ebay to do the taupe crescents at the nail bed and tip.

I was surprised how easy doing the little zig zags once, I certainly don't have a very steady hand but even when doing them with my left hand they turned out pretty well!

Lady Bug Says ... RAK Swap

Evening lovelies, hope you are all well!

I thought I would show you the lovely gifts I received in the Random Acts Of Kindness swap that Char from T*Rexes and Tiaras organised a little while ago. I was paired with Lucy from Tete en l'Air and these are the goodies that I was very lucky to receive :)

A big thank you to Char for organising the swap and to Lucy for sending me some lovely things! The sweets are now long gone but the nail varnish has become a firm favourite :)

Lady Bug Says ... A Little Neon

Evening lovelies!

Hope you have all had a great weekend. Mine has been full of yummy food, garden centres, movies, pancakes in bed, museums and lie ins. Overall a fairly good one :)

This is my outfit from Friday, I don't have to be especially smart for work, but occasionally it is nice to make a bit more of an effort. It is my little nod to the current neon trend, I don't think I am quite ready yet to dip my toes any further into the highlighter toned pool!

Faux leather panel skirt, H&M £20, Sheer tights, Primark £1, Yellow dress worn as top, H&M £10, Steve Madden boots, TK Maxx £35

Necklace, Accessorize 50p!

Oufit total - £66.50

This skirt is a recent purchase, I fell for the faux leather panels with the more practical and comfortable stretchy side panels.

Lady Bug Says ... My Blog Favourites Part 2

Morning lovelies.

I'm back with part 2 of my blog favourites, this time it is my 'Fashion Favourites'

These are the blogs that I get a little excited by when I see a new post has popped up in my Blogger dashboard.

Vicki has the most amazing girly style and always looks so well put together :)

Geneva is a DIY Queen and source of much clothing inspiration.

I love Halima's style and her amazing accessories :) Plus serious hair envy!

I defy anyone to read Gem's blog and not have a little giggle! Great style and handy tips to boot!

Kavita is queen of the carboot sale! I am envious of her ability to walk in her collection of amazing heels!

I love the way Steph mixes high street and second hand bargains. She also comes across as a super lovely person!

What are you favourite fashion blogs?

Lady Bug Says ... All The Reds

Another quick nail post tonight. I have seen a few 'ombre' style nail photos floating around on other blogs and thought I would give it a try so I dug out all of my red polishes and had a play.

Nails Inc 'Hampstead Heath', Nails Inc 'Victoria & Albert', Orly 'Ruby', Deborah Lipmann 'Razzle Dazzle' & Nails Inc 'Savile Row'

Apologies for the lack of outfit posts recently, I have been struck down with an evil cough/cold/flu/lurgy combo so have been spending my evenings and weekends wrapped up in a blanket on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. Fingers crossed it is on its way out now!
