Manicure Monday

Manicure Monday

For this week's Manicure Monday, I chose to do this stunning aztec look which is great for Summer.

Method: 

I painted the nail all of my nails white to begin the look

I painted a red stripe in the middle of each nail

Next I painted a gold stripe over the bottom of each nail and painted a purple stripe over the top of the nail.

I then followed over the top of the gold stripe with a black zig zag pattern and at the bottom and top of the red stripe. Finally I repeated the zig zag at the bottom of the purple stripe.

Next I apply a top coat once the nails were dry.

- 17 Fast Finish Polish in " copper"

That's it for this week's Manicure Monday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!

Celebrity Style Sunday

Celebrity Style Sunday

This week's Celebrity Style Sunday is dedicated to the fabulous Queen of Coachella Vanessa Hudgens. From her High School Musical days to owning the stage miss Hudgens has always rocked her own style.

To start off I adore this look from her shoot with UK Instyle back in July 2009. She stunned in this Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 dress.

Vanessa looked super chic out and about in Soho last week. She looked fabulous in a pair of Komono Dreyfuss sunglasses in tortoise, a Chloe Faye mini suede cross body bag, Blaque Label pleated culottes and Yves Saint Laurent Jane sandals. ASOS have similar culottes, available here:

The then teen queen shone at the Teen Choice Awards back in August 2008. She wore a pair of Christian Louboutin Mad Mary Janes and a Catherine Malandrino Tempo dress.

Vanessa was out and about Los Angeles back in May 2012. She looked effortless and stunning in a For Love and Lemons Fiesta tank in ivory, a pair of 7 for all mankind high waist cut off shorts in medium destroyed and a Speel sea green castaway ring. You can purchase a pair of shorts similar to Vanessa's from River Island here:

Hudgens and her then beau Zac Efron were a good looking couple at the 2009 Golden Globes. She wore an Albeta Ferretti sequined dress and a pair of Jimmy Choo Seattle sandals.

I absolutely adore this look from a scene out of High School Musical 3. She is just so gorgeous in this American Eagle Flower Garden dress. Forever 21 have a fabulous dress similar to the one in the movie which you can purchase here:

The actress stunned on the red carpet at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strangers Tide at Disneyland back in May 2011. She oozed sex appeal in a pair of Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo pumps in nude, an Ossie Clark Moss crepe wrap dress which featured a thigh high slit and a Natalie B Tibet Filgree pendent necklace. Boohoo have a similar dress for sale, which they also have in multiple colours that you can purchase here:

In October 2008, Vanessa looked cool and chic as she left MTV TRL in New York. She wore an Erik Hart grey wool blend strapless dress and a pair of Jimmy Choo Oxley patent leather platform sandals by Jimmy Choo.

In December 2011, Miss Hudgens was seen out and about in Beverly Hills looking casual and stylish. She wore a pair of Free People Mista Andee platform buckle boots, a pair of Siwy Denim Hannah jeans in Odyssey and a Silence and Noise slouch sweater. If you want a lighter coloured sweater that you can wear this Summer, you can purchase it here:

The actress looked ethereal in Los Angeles at the premiere of The Journey 2: The Mysterious Island back in February 2012. She wore a Stark Black crystal Panther clutch, Maria Lucia Helga gown in canary yellow and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti double platform open toe animal print heels.

Back in October 2008 at the 19th Annual Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala, Vanessa looked effortlessly beautiful. She wore a pair of Christian Louboutins Yoclou pumps, a Mblem black column dress and a Gara Danielle 162ln14K gold filled chain with black onyx. Miss Guided have a similar dress which you can purchase here:

It's that time for my all time favourite look! I adore this look Vanessa wore to the 81st Academy Awards back in February 2009, she accessorized with Cathy Waterman drop earrings and dropped jaws in this amazing Marchesa gown.

So that's it for this week's Celebrity Style Sunday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!
