Get your DIY on...

THIS WEEK, I GOT MY DIY ON GIRL!

These are just quick snaps of the bits ive been making, the necklace was some necklace that I picked up from H&M or something a while ago and the glitzy one was from Topshop, but I only wanted the bottom bit, so I tore it off and just added a few other chains I didn't mind destroying. I sewed some thread through some of the holes to add a bit more colour and the rest is pretty self explanatory! Kept me busy for a little while and I thoroughly enjoy things like this and now I have a gorgeous statement necklace for half the price. 

The silver bangle was made from some bits I picked up at a market and Hobbycraft, I didn't go with the intentions of picking things like this up but its one of my friends birthdays coming up this week so I thought I would make her something with a little more thought and hey she likes it. 

Summery shades

I've had on for like half a day.. but I've not exactly done anything to test it against chipping. The colour is amazing though, a lovely summery shade and will make your nails POP! the brush is pretty big, about the width of your nail so it enables easy application and because its a gel varnish it doesn't tend to need 2 coats which is perfect for on the go application. 

ok, even though i've not applied the bronzer or the creme shadow to my face obviously I've tested it on my hands and I cannot get it off! so at least I know its durable. The Colour Tattoo Gel Cream Eyeshadow I have is the On and On bronze colour. Its light and creamy - that sounds a really bad way to describe it but I cannot actually think of any other words -  it has a lovely golden shimmer to it, its not sticky or heavy.

The Bourjois bronzer has a sun-kissed finish to it, like its not too orange and you either use it as an all over bronzer or just to define your features. Its set to have 'glints of sunshine' but when I applied a bit more onto my hand it was quite glittery which I dont really like as it just looks fake and too shimmery. Although its a really light powder and has a really matte finish.
