Just a quick easy video on daisy nails. It’s not really a full tutorial but I’ve been filming my nails as I grow them out slowly! .

Daisy Nail Art Instructions!
Today I thought I’d do some fun Spring themed nail art.
I’ll be doing some daisies.
Paint a base coat alternating fingers in light green and yellow.
You may need a few coats but it should look something like this.
I’ll be drawing the daisies with a pen from The Face shop.
You can also use a regular thin brush.
Start by drawing a line then make several intersecting lines.
If you keep the lines thin, they will form cute little flowers.
Draw the little flowers all over the nails.
Keep it random.
Remember that the lines don’t need to be completely straight or even and you can do different sized flowers by starting with different sized lines.
Here’s a nice close up so you can see some of the details better.
So start with one line.
Then add a cross.
Then diagonals.
Then fill in all the little gaps between.
I like to make the petals a little bit wobbly too because it gives a cute effect.
Add a little bright yellow dot to the middle of each flower.
Now you just need to top coat it once it’s all dry and you’re good to go.
Pretty and very Spring-ish
Hope this was a useful video. Check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!

As I work through my Home Sweet Home projects one thing has always been a bit of a mystery: how to brighten up the tv area? The tv is black, the speakers are black, the stand is black, it’s all black. It’s like a black hole in the living room. I didn’t want to touch the tv or the stand so I decided to give the speakers a mini make over.
Tadaaa, slightly less black:
You need:
- Speakers with a removable cover (these are James’s Logitech G51 speakers)
- Pretty paper or fabric
- Scissors, screw driver etc
- Double sided tape
First clean the speakers and remove any dust. Take off the plastic covers, our speakers just unscrewed at the sides.
Use the cover as a guide to cut a strip of paper long enough to go all the way around.
My speakers curved at the back so to get the paper to fit snugly I made several small cuts in the middle.
Like this:
Use double sided tape to stick it to the speakers. The cuts will allow it to fit to the curve easily.
Now pop the plastic back on and screw in place.
Easy!
Repeat to all of your other speakers. James has a surround system which was originally from his music room so I had to do 5 of them.
I added some stuffed toys too and it brightened up the area nicely. I’ll show you the whole thing when I do the big house reveal. We’re getting SO close to being finished!!
I can’t decide if I want to keep the speaker covers on or replace them with some white tulle to make it even lighter. More thought needed!
I’m so excited to be finished the apartment, having made all of these changes has made such a difference in my life! |

Today’s outfit features a little bit of DIY 😀
Jeans- Valley Girl, modified by me
Shoes- Big W, glittered by me
Shirt- Vanity Box
Hat- Modified by me last Summer tutorial here!
So I’ve been looking for pastel pink jeans for ages but most of the reasonably priced pink jeans I could find were this shade of highlighter pink. Cute but not what I wanted. Eventually I gave in and bought these from Valley Girl:
I bought them after reading the care tag which warns they may fade or transfer.
Rather than waiting for that I decided to speed up the process and gave them a bleach rinse.
After a few minutes they were the perfect shade!
Pastel and ready to be matched with all of my Summer clothes!
Very happy with them!
I don’t have many pants so I’m looking forward to changing it up and incorporating them with new outfits! |
