Yellow Diamonds

I decided i had to dedicate a post to my all time favourite gem stone, the yellow diamond.

 

I have always loved the colour yellow and jewellery so it just makes sense for the yellow diamond to be my favourite. I recently saw a TV programme on Elizabeth Taylor's jewellery collection, and how her family decided to auction the pieces off. I don't know if anyone else saw it but if you did you'll know it was amazing. She had the most gorgeous and luxurious jewellery i have ever seen. I think the yellow diamond is so elegant looking, and can bring a bit of interest to a piece of jewellery making it more of a statement and a focal point to an outfit.

 

Anyways i thought it would be fun to show you some of my favourite pieces of yellow diamonds. There so beautiful!!

 

These beauties are from the Elizabeth Taylor collection which was auctioned off.

 

 

 

The two pieces are from Tiffany's. The necklace was worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the ring is my all time favourite yellow diamond ring.

Love to impress!

I am going to start by saying i absolutely love love LOVE these impressed nails. There pretty new and i know alot of people rave about them, but they really are worth the hype. They are the best thing since sliced bread and have become a staple to me. I love to paint my nails, when i have the time, so these are perfect for ladies who have full time jobs or are full time mums, because it can be hard to find time to do anything never mind paint your nails. So these are definitely the answer.

 

They take hardly anytime to apply (trust me i timed it haha) and you get such a lovely natural looking finish. When i first put them on and went in work i got so many compliments about how nice and shiny my nails look. I have longish nails anyway so people thought I'd been to a salon to have them painted :)

 

Ive took some pictures and thought I'd give you a quick overview of how to apply them, there really easy but i thought it would be helpful for people who are curious.

 

All you do to start is match each impress nail to your nails to make sure there the right size. If you cant get the right size you get a little baby nail file to shape them to fit perfect. This is probably the most time consuming part.

 

Once you have made sure you have ten laid out you need to clean your nails with the prep pad your given. Obviously have no nail varnish on or anything.

 

Each nail comes with a sticky clear tab on the back, you just pull it off and stick it to your nail like so.

Then hey presto!!! Beautiful manicured nails in no time at all. Sorry for the pun but I'm so impressed with these. (I'm cringing at myself for putting that haha)

 

Thought I'd show you one week later as well just to show how good they stay, I'd say they go a tiny bit duller but nothing drastic. This is after many showers, baths even washing the pots there so sturdy.

 

So basically I'd recommend these bad boys to anyone and everyone. If you haven't tried them please go and grab some they sell them in super markets, superdrug or boots. There no more than £8 so well worth the money, and are a snip of what a manicure would cost if you went to the salon. Oh and they also do them in alot of different designs and colours.

 

Hope you enjoyed stay tuned :)

Hashtag Armswag!!

Soooo.......... Ive recently read about this new craze on instagram where people from all over the world have been showing off there jewels in the form of bracelets, watches etc and making a mash of "armswag" then posting a picture for all to see using the #armswag.

I think this is such a cool way to wear all your different favourite bracelets at the same time. You dont have to worry about different colours, different metals, nothing you just shove it all on your arm without a care in the world and off you pop!

Ive been snapping some of my own armswag moments so thought i'd share one of them, and encourage this current craze because ive been loving it :)
