"Life is so much more interesting in colour".

Have you ever been sat down preparing to paint your nails? all the colours you own lined up ready to be choosen. I have spend hours with such a conumdrum.
But I recently decided why do all nails have to be the same colour?!
So, I have been lapping up the multicoloured nail craze I've seen Pixie Lott rocking the style and I'm pretty sure Look had a section a couple months back.
Soo bye bye boring one coloured nails, and hello Exciting technicolour.

For months I've been using Barry M nail varnishes they are so colourful, their are loads of choices and they're avaliable in Boots ( what more could I want). But I have found a flaw in them they take ages to dry and if you're like me I can never sit still. As soon as the first stroke is down I need to move a piece of hair from my eye or pick something up. It's one of those testing moments for any girl. What a stress!

So, Barry M may not be the nail varnish for you. But I have done some research into alternative brands. And Essie's nail varnish came up top. Celebrated for being the choice of models and nail techys I think this one might be a good choice. And at $8.00 it's hardly breaking the bank account. But of course I haven't tried it. So if any of you readers have tried it and would like to comment on it. Be my guest.

Tip for putting on nail varnish! If like me you can never keep inside the nail just stroke on the nail varnish not being careful. Just messily stoking it on until the entire nail is painted waiting for them to dry then washing you hand ( maybe even doing the washing up) and gently scrub the edges of your fingers to remove all the extra varnish on your fingers. Works a treat.

TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

I know I must sound like an american frat boy but it's all in the name of fashion.
Oh and this is not a blog about american college parties. If anything it's about history and elegance. Well elegance in short skirts.

I have been recently very abandoning on my blog with nothing to talk about probably the fault of school having such long day as I do - 8.30 to 5.30, yes I know!- i have hardly anytime to get my ass to the shops and get me some magazines or even go out and see the street style. But now I'm on break and hoping that inbetween working and driving (WOO I'm 17) I hope to give you some tips.

For months i've been lusting after this dress. Its beautiful.



But at 45 pounds, it's alittle pricey for my student wallet.

This is a beautiful lipsy creation. Its not necessarly a full on Grecian dress but the hints are fabulous. But at 65 pound its alittle pricey.

All these dresses could bring down the Trojan empire. Helen herself would be put to shame. "The face that launched a thousand ships" yeah right.
