So a while ago I did a tutorial on how to make removable iphone covers so you could easily switch up designs on a daily basis… then I never got around to making any other designs! Well today I finally made another one. This one is much more simple and classic looking than my usual tastes so it’s perfect for times when it’s not appropriate to have crazy styles… like corporate business meetings.
Still very girly but not too over the top!
You need:
The kind of iphone case these fit in
A base made of cardboard or plastic to make the template from
A delicious round up today with some Japanese candy!
Here’s a hair tutorial to begin with, it’s a Spring-ish side bun with a braid going around the back.
James ordered me some of those Kracie DIY candy making kits. Oh my god it was so fun to make!! This is the first video in a series!
Now here’s a relaxing Outfit Of the Day- Night Time Chill
Also guess what arrived in the mail from Blurb.com the other day??
Blurb sent me the hardcover edition of Bergamot’s first book!!
Just like my other Blurb book the quality is fantastic!
Enjoy some photo spam mwahaha! Blurb was a pleasure to deal with and the quality is always so lovely. I really love that “new book smell”. Seriously that’s the first thing I always do with new books… does being a book sniffer make me weird?? XD
This is a quick tutorial on how to do nail art which was inspired by the very pretty Bornite Stone. Some have suggested that if you used lighter colours i would look like Opal too, very pretty! .

Bornite Stone (AKA Peacock Stone) Inspired Simple Nail Art Instructions
Today’s nail art is inspired by a very pretty stone: Bornite.
I’m probably pronouncing that wrong.
It’s full of beautiful dark purples, blues and pinks.
These are the polish colours I used.
You can use the same technique with any though.
You will also need tweezers and a tissue.
Start with a basic dark purple base.
It doesn’t need to be neat at all.
Add a drop of light purple to the tip, scrunch up a piece of tissue and use the tweezers to dab it lightly into a pattern.
This same basic technique is used to add the other colours too so if you don’t feel confident with it practice a little first.
Add a drop of pink glitter around the base and repeat.
You can use different items such as sponges, paper or fabric for different effects.
The more crinkled your tissue is the more interesting the pattern will be.
Add some darker splotches to cover any gaps and dab in place.
Lastly add some shimmery green highlights in the same way.
Getting a good pattern depending on your polish consistency so if you can’t get it right, try leaving your polish to dry slightly on the nail first.
Clean any mess with a cuticle stick and a tissue dipped in polish remover.
Once dry, give all of the nails a clear top coat.
And you’re all finished!
Shiny and very pretty.
Just like the beautiful stone that inspired them.
I hope this was a useful video.

Thanks so much for watching!
