motel rose print playsuit: c/o fabric boutique
crop shirt: the whitepepper
sandals: h&m (old)
bag: la moda
star gazer iPhone case: c/o zero gravity

I love playsuits but I sometimes struggle to find ones that I like the fit of.. I often find they come up quite short or tight on me and I'm not really into the cheek bearing look (I'll leave that to sassier ladies than me) this wicked little number from fabric boutique is just the right fit, super comfortable and if I add a belt and heels I can sport it in the evenings too (read -I'm probably going to live in it this summer) 

I've layered it with my whitepepper shirt which is probably the best investment I've ever made, thank god for wardrobe staples. I probably should have worn a belt so you could see this outfit more fitted but I was enjoying the relaxed look rather too much at the time.. plus I'm just impressed I managed to iron something if I'm honest... go me.

you might have spotted my swanky new phone case from zero gravity..? half mirror/half glitter I don't think I could have dreamed up a better combination if I'd have tried. it's slightly chunkier than my other cases which is a good thing for a serial dropper like me.. I've lost count of how many screens I've managed to smash in my time (fingers crossed this puppy will keep my phone safe ...from myself )

tut tut, yesss more nails. I cant help it, I guess it's a deep routed polish problem, after 24hrs I get bored and want to try something else.

from top: models own pastel pink with a coating of models own ibiza mix 

middle: models own in the navy with yet again a coat of ibiza mix (can you tell I'm a fan yet..)

bottom: snow white with black polka dots with a peace sign nail transfer! I have to say I'm becoming a decal transfer fan, I've tried nail wraps and found then an absolute nightmare, how anyone gets all the creases out is beyond me. these little transfers are so much easier plus you can wear any colour polish which suits me better! as long as you top up the clear polish and seal them well they last a long time... fan!

anyway I hope this gives you some ideas fellow painters!

thanking pinterest for these nails! I stumbled across a nail art photo where a lady had tried these nails using strips of white tape. I used a nail striper to do mine so the edges are a touch wobbly (I blame sir alan sugar and the latest batch of apprentices for distracting me whilst I painted these!) I glued on some heart decals to decorate and sealed with a clear top coat. I think a black anchor would look great instead of the heart if you're feeling adventurous but I didn't have time this week!
