Caroline Burke | Burkatron

the competition is open to fellow bloggers using hillarys fabric as the basis for a crafty project! I decided to create my own example project using some of the bird parade fabric (I had to get involved in the DIY action!) to make some little hanging hearts to decorate my doors! 

I can't enter myself so my project doesn't count...darn) but I'll be judging yours which makes up for it!

the dresses at little mistress are unbelievably pretty so when they asked if I'd like to hold a giveaway so one of you could win a slinky little number I said yes.. some decisions are just too easy!

You may remember I wore one of their bodycon midi's in a post recently but they have oodles of curve hugging, lace skimming & sequin lovin' dresses on offer (perfect night out attire) 

I've picked out a few of my faves pictured here... hello gorgeousness!

so without further ado here's the fun part!

things to note:

hello guys! 

today I have some geometric nail art that I've created using some polishes from nailgirls! I also have a little giveaway for you hurrah!

nailgirls kindly asked if I'd like to be their nail art blogger of the month and create a nail art for them, they've also offered some polishes for you guys to win too... (pop down to the end of the post if you want to enter!)

the formula of the polishes is really good, I've always found yellow a difficult polish and this is the best one I've tried to date, the coral formula is fantastic needing practically 1 coat for full coverage (wowza!)

I added some studs and a slick of topcoat to finish off the design!

so onto the fun part the GIVEAWAY!!

we have two nail polishes and a nailgirls top coat up for grabs and the winner gets to choose which colours they receive!

this giveaway is for burkatron followers in the UK only due to new postal restrictions on sending polishes overseas!

simply enter through the rafflecopter box below and follow the entry requirements... good luck ladies!!

well I've finally got round to sharing my giveaway (about time!)

I wanted to organise one when I reached 800 followers (BIG thank you!!) but I decided to wait as I thought it would be nice to buy some things when I was in NYC and make it a bit more special.

I just wanted to do something to thank you for all of your support and for being so damn lovely! every like, retweet and comment on my posts never fails to surprise me and make me smile! the fact that anyone takes the time out to comment or contact me is the most wonderful feeling so thank you all again.. 

so without further ado here's whats included in the giveaway...

you may remember seeing a big apothecary cabinet full of nail polishes on my instagram; well I couldn't resist raiding it to get some bright colours for you! I prefer the American urban outfitters bottle shapes to the ones we have in the UK so I grabbed quite a few! these are bandeau, hot tub & flip flop.

lemon drop is a scented top coat; I've never seen anything like this! it smells of lemon but dries clear like a normal top coat (I thought it was pretty fun!)

I picked these up from kukee when I got home as I wanted to add a few little extra trinkets. a simple double above the knuckle ring and a druzy ring for something a little different. 

I was nearly charged with excess luggage sneaking back bags of American candy! I've always been a bit obsessed with Americana so I've included a selection of some of their well known chocolates and a big new york mug for you too.

some more kukee jewels, this time some pretty necklaces for the spring. 

this glitter polish called lollipop is actually my favourite at the moment! I have one and its a perfect mix of chunky and fine multicoloured glitter! the oyster polish is really gorgeous; you can use it over colours or by itself for a mother of pearl finish. super cute.

well I couldn't not get a NY tee! 

one of my all time favourite summer tees with a pair of denim cut-offs I wanted to bring one back for this giveaway (size medium)

I love American apparel neon polishes; I saw this bright blue and had to have it. definitely a summer colour for statement nails!
