Polka dots and a cat

So I've been quite busy recently which is why I haven't been posting much as well  as lack of inspiration for posts which is annoying but true. So I thought I would do a quick post on my phone I recently (about 2 weeks ago) did this nail art design and put it on my Instagram, so if you don't follow me on there you should but I thought I would share the design with you on here too. 
I did polka dots on all the fingers then decided to a cat on one as it is so simple to do and all you need for this design is some dotting tools and a black and white nail polish 'simpless'.. I say haha no really it is. If you have a go at this design just comment below and ill be sure to check it out. 
See ya later love Amy xx

Another Haul, oopsies.

So yeah as the title suggests i splurged out on a couple more things, and well im supposed to be saving for decorations for my new room, so feel free to tell me off. tutt tutt Amy..
So i have recently been buying things online, i guess its because of all those wonderful emails and videos i watch of hauls they do and lovely discount codes haha
So here's what i bought..
Ugly Betty hardback
The first thing i bought was 'Ugly Betty the book', i don't know about you but i was a real fan of this when it was on and i would religiously watch all the series back to back nearly every day, no exaggeration there haha. I loved that series and was really gutted when it finished:( So i bought this to make up for it. It is set out just like a mode magazine with picture of betty throughout and her transformation through the series including some of her hilarious outfits.
white converse low
So i have been wanting these converse for a very long time now but couldn't justify paying £42.99 for a pair so i found these on amazon for £34.99, still not amazing and then i found out that if you subscribe to amazon emails you get a 20% off code so i got these babies for £27.99 with free postage what a BARGAIN!!
I then bought these rose fairy lights from home bargains for £2.99, i bought these to twist around my new bed, hehe.

Here's a sneak preview of my new room, i may do a room tour when its finished..
So yeah, that's the end of the haul, i should be able to post a lot more soon as school finishes next week yayy..
Also, i will be selling some things on eBay soon so watch out including a brand new pair of Burgundy nike blazers which are no longer available in store.

Tiny Weeny Haul

Hardly been able to do proper blog posts lately as i have so much school work at the moment, however yesterday i went on a little trip to town to pick up some jeans and some of those lovely primark crop tops that everyone has been buying, but once again my primark was full and it seemed they had every size in the world but mine, which was annoying but oh well, what can you do..
So yeah that's all i bought, the jeans are from H&M and are like really good quality for the price much better than primark ones hehe £14.99, the t-shirt is from Primark and was only £4.00 and has a lovely crochet detail on the back and front, then I bought the MUA Undressed palette for a measly £4.00.

Also i would just like to add that, it was so sad to hear about all those people dying in that factory in Bangladesh and i cant understand how anyone could ignore the warnings but nothing can be done now, I hope all there dear families finally find their family members so that they can see them for the last time before they grieve for them:( poor things...

Just a quick nail art post, Flamingo Nails.

So i went back to school this week unfortunately so you may see that i haven't posted much and i probably will only be posting Once or Twice a week, also lately i dont know what to post im idea-less so comment below some ideas pleasee.
So on to the actual post, i saw a photo on Google images the other day of some flamingo nails and thought they looked cute so i tried them out, im sorry i cant remember who did them:( The idea is quite clever really and looks really effective but it is actually extremely simple. I absolutely love this look and think it would be great if you try it out too.
For the background colour i used essie Bikini So Teeny, and for the flamingo i used 17 baked cherry and 17 Royal rose(:
Hope you liked the post and stay tuned for more.

Rimmel Apocalips Review

So i recently bought the 'new' rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer, i've been trying this out quite a lot recently including during the day and in the evening also. For anyone who has not heard of this product it is said to have all the pigmentation of a lipstick but still be glossy like a lip gloss without that sticky feeling you get when wearing a lip gloss sometimes. The Overall product is very thick but still manageable. I also quite like the applicator as you only really need one dip into the pot as it gives you enough of the product. They also come in a variety of different colours from pinks to reds, to oranges and nudes. They do however have a distinct smell, but that does not put me off these at all, i mean come on i bought this lip product for my lips not to eat or spread on my body haha. The lip lacquer also stays on the lips for around 5-6 hours i find which is a very respectable, Overall i would recommend these to anyone as there is a colour to suit everyone in the range and the price is super affordable ( boots are selling them for £4.99 at the moment instead of the usual price of £5.99 here) get them while you can. i bought mine in a lovely peachy orange shade named luna which is lovely and i really want to get the colour Celestrial.
