Experimenting with Nail Art...



Im back again and this time its all about NAIL ART!!!
We all like a bit of Nail art,something fancy to make our hands look nice however getting a manicure every week isn't always possible so I thought I would try a few really easy designs that can really make a simple outfit pop this summer!

Classic Polka dots

What you will need:


  • Dotting tools or tooth pick and blue tac

  • Two different coloured nail polishes of your choice

  • Top coat 

  • Finger nails







I expect you to use your own finger nails! I just used a Nail wheel because I found it easier to display the design!








As you can see this is a very simple design and you can do this with any colour you like!







Geometric


What you will need:


  • Three nail polishes of your choice

  • Masking tape 

  • Top coat







This could have came out a hell of a lot more smoother but I wasn't very patient with the drying process! I advice that you wait until each nail is fully dry before dotting or using masking tape. Anyway I only have these two designs for you today but ill definitely be back with more as this has oddly become my new thing...Maybe i'll call it NestleNailART and review new polishes as well as doing designs! 
Until next time my lovelies

The Drowned Man



Hello Lovely Viewers,
I hope you are all doing well! I recently got a sweet opportunity to work with the AMAZING theatre company Punchdrunk and with that came two tickets to see The Drowned Man!!!

       






I got to choose someone lovely to accompany me for the night and I chose the beautiful Gabriella Morales from Rellamorales
this was of course the perfect opportunity for us to Vlog however it was way too dark and awkward so as you could imagine we were not able to do so, also there was a strict NO phone/camera rule which i was not comfortable to breech.

We did however take a few pics of our Outfits but my pictures sadly got deleted! so ill probably re create my Outfit one of these days and post it but for now if you are interested check out Gabriella's OOTD here

Back to life and Jumping on the Birkenstock Bandwagon!

Hi y'all its been a hot minute since i've uploaded a blog post but Im officially back and ready to be a little bit more consistent with my Blog, I have not yet managed to find anytime since I have been back from Jamaica to really work on blogging material HOWEVER I have found the time to do a little bit of online shopping and seen as everyone has been going on about how comfortable Birkenstocks are I thought to myself why not just jump on the bandwagon and see what they are like for myself.

I did however buy the new look and next dupes for my holiday and if Im honest they didn't get on with my feet or the rainy weather in jamaica! the New Look Birkenstock dupes absolutely fell apart and the Next dupes were just uncomfortable! 
I personally wouldn't recommend wasting money on Birk dupes unless they are really amazing because the real ones are not that expensive at all and so far i've found them extremely comfortable and true to size where as when searching for a decent pair of dupes I found that the sizing was awfully wrong and obviously that can be very frustrating.


                                     

These are two little snaps of my Birks, I purchased them from Amazon for only £23! and I got the Arizona ones which I absolutely love because of the double strap.

OOTD

Hello Beautiful people, 
I hope you are all doing well.
I've literally spent the last couple of days packing for my trip to the beautiful island Jamaica, Ill be flying tomorrow morning early and I thought that it just wouldn't be right to abandon my blog for the next couple of weeks without mentioning it at all.
Ill be uploading to Instagram every other day if not every day! so follow me on instagram (Theycallmenestle) to stay up to date with my life.
 Ill be taking my camera so ill definitely try my best to vlog the weeks that I am away... anyway lets get back to the real topic of this blog post which is of course my OOTD.


 I think that sometimes simplicity in an outfit says it all, as much as bright colours & loud accessories can change a whole outfit and turn it into a master piece I don't necessarily think its the only way to make a statement with a simple outfit.

I probably should have taken a few photos of myself in this dress before I gave it a Knot at the side and stretched the arm holes but Im sure we can all use our imaginations!

This was a simple black dress from Monki and if Im entirely honest it didn't really compliment my shape. I wanted to jazz  this simplistic outfit up without doing any major D.I.Y work or wearing lots of jewellery or makeup to compensate for the blandness of the dress. All I did was stretch the arm holes to show off the colour of whatever sports bra or bandeau I was wearing and then I also knotted the bottom so that it would give me a little bit of definition and curves.

Don't get me wrong though this outfit could probably do well with a nice necklace topped off with some stacked up rings! but i just wanted to keep it simple today.
I hope you all like this outfit as much as I do anyway Ciao for now my lovelies.

Totally Tropical Nike Sliders



Hello again,
It hasn't been very long since I last did a post but I felt the need to have a little ramble about my latest purchase which were *DRUM ROLL*...Nike sliders!!! 
I've never really been a huge fan of sporty flipfloppy types of footwear as I have always felt that although they may be comfortable they were always designed very ugly! 
Although this has been my general opinion for the majority of my life my perception of these lovely sliders were soon changed when I received my ASOS magazine in the post.
ASOS took sporty footgear to another level with their Totally Tropical fashion look book, they've definitely converted me! I've never purchased an item so quick before in my life,there was literally no hesitations whatsoever because as soon as my eyes hit that page it was literally love at first sight and I
 instantly ordered my own pair!
anyway there really isn't much more to say apart from everyone should get a pair as not only are they trendy they are super comfortable!

I would also recommend that you may have to size down as they do swallow your feet a little bit, I am normally a UK size 8 however I could get away with a 6 and half  OR  7 with this sliders.


Anyway cheerio for now

OOTD




Hello my chocolate buttons! I quite liked my outfit and thought it would be lovely to share it with you all!

The other day I was struggling to find an outfit as I've had a big clear out to make more room for new clothes, and literally EVERYTHING I tried on just didn't look right however after at least an hour and a half of rummaging through the pile of clothes on my bed, I picked out the most simplest of outfits.

This obviously ended up being a winner and my friend suggested we take a few photos for an OOTD.

 My best friend suggested that a little bit of lipstick would make this outfit pop! and I Definitely agree

Any MAC products, mainly because they makes me feel flawless but if I am on a budget Sleek lipsticks give me the same feeling.

I am going to have to say it’s a Toss up Between Top shop and New look,
Other places cant compete if they don’t have a tall section!

4. Is there a make-up or clothing brand you can't stand?
I cannot stand  Converses as they are extremely uncomfortable and make your feet look clownish if your size 7 and above…of course this all depends on what colour you get. As for makeup it would probably have to be those all Natural foundations that you can purchase at Superdrug, they just make your face look ashy!

5. What's your favourite trend?

It really depends on what I am wearing and what colour my hair is, at the moment I would say Gold.

1. I am allergic to Cats, Apples and cherries!
2. If I was to die and come back as an animal I would have to be either an Elephant or an owl.
3. I have a phobia of cotton and almost never remove my nail polish with a cotton ball, as it’s too much of a traumatic endeavour for me so I either never wear polish or just wait until it chips off by itself. 
4. My favourite colour of all time is Orange but lately I’ve really been enjoying the pastels,
 5. I'm a disgustingly unfit person and sometimes struggle to go up and down the stairs…I’m not quite sure if I should have shared that fact!

7. I love travelling, and would love to travel the world one day
