First Mani Monday: Colour Descent

Hi Guys,

I have decided to start writing Mani Monday. This means that every Monday I will post different types of manicures that you could do. Some will be just colours that go with the month, others will be just fun manicures.


So, I decided to should start with a fun manicure.

I thought that this would be a great manicure to do as it in not to hard. You can make it your own by changing  the colours to any colours you want. You could even make a summer or a spring manicure by using pink or purple shades. 

Here are the colours you could use:

I will classify the nail colours from four brands starting with the most expensive to the cheapest.:

   

Starting with:

Chanel - on average costs £18 per bottle 

Vertigo Second colour 

Particuliere Third colour 

Frenzy Forth Colour 

Intermezzo Final Colour

This colours are the colours used

in the photo. 

Now I am going to 

put some other brands dups.

Opi- on average costs £11

This are the colours that I think would do the look using Opi. 
Here are their names: the darkest colour is called Lincoln Park after dark, 
the next colour is You don't know Jacque, next one 
is Over the Taupe,  next is Did you Ear about Van Gogh and 
the lightest colour is Don't touch my tutu.

Essie- costs on average £8

Velvet voyage- darkest colour 

Smoking hot - second colour 

Chinchilly - third colour 

Sand Tropez - forth colour 

Don't Sweater - final colour 

So, these are the Essie dupes.

The cheapest version: 

Revlon- costs on average £5

Perplex - Darkest colour

Grey Suede - Second Colour

Smoky Canvas - Third Colour

Elegant - Forth Colour

Sheer Pink - Final colour



So, those were all of the nail products I hope will look nearly like the Chanel, but using the Dupes. 

But don't forget to protect your nails by using a base and top coat.

Chanel base coat -£18

Chanel top coat -£18

Opi Top and Base Coat -£18.50 Together

Essie Base coat - £9

Essie Top Coat -£9

 Revlon Base Coat £5

 Dior Nail Cream -£19

Revlon top coat -£5
















I would really recommend the Dior nail cream as it really good for those who apply nail polish often.

I hope that you liked this Mani Monday look. 
Thanks for reading and have fun painting your nails.

Recipe for a sweet treat

Hi guys,

Recently I was cooking with my friends and we were making macaroons. Unfortunately, they did not really turn out the way we wanted, so one of my friends said that if we add flour we can make a cake. So, here is the recipe for this amazing sweet treat.

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

A pinch of table salt

100g of plain flour

100g of almonds

6 raspberries

200g of caster or granulated sugar

As many pistachios as you like

A teaspoon of red food colouring (optional)

Method

In a bowl pour the egg whites and the salt after the are mixed with a hand held mixer. Than gradually start adding 100g of  sugar. After the sugar is combined with the mixture leave aside.

Place the almonds, 100g of sugar and the raspberries in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are finely chopped. Then add them to the sugar mixture and mix them all together.

After it is all combined add the flour and the pistachios and mix together.

Place the mixture in a tray, sprinkle ground pistachio and bake at 150 degrees C for 20 minutes, or until there is a nice crispy outer layer.

Serve with pistachio ice cream.

Enjoy.

I hope you will make this and see for yourself how good it is.

Thanks for reading.

Continuation of my book

‘I found it impossible! All the letters mixed with numbers!’ I loved maths and so did Poppy, but Sophie was more of an English person. ‘Sophie the “letters” and “numbers” is called “algebra”’. And I found it OK. Not to easy, but OK.’ Poppy walked in with hundreds of present bags, as she always does at the last day of the year. Me and Sophie always forget the presents at home. As I opened my double door lockers that we had personalized in pink and blue, Poppy dumped her bag on the floor and put the presents on one side of the locker. On the other side were her cook stuff and coat. In my locker I had partly the same and so did Sophie just without the presents we had organized our thing, then went in our form room for registration. We usually have a very fun day at the end of the term. All our teachers brought sweets and we did many fun things. In the cooking class we had a mini master chef; it was great fun! The lunches were great too. We could order takeaway of any kind. Poppy, Sophie and I always order McDonald's. At the end of the day most people had clubs. Sophie, Poppy and I all go to four clubs together. Two are in school and two are out of school. On Friday's we go to the multiple media club. But Sophie and Poppy could not come today. Sophie has a dentist appointment and Poppy had to take her cat and dog to the vets for a check up.
