My iPhone Case Collection - plus Coupon to PERSONALISE your own!

Hello!

This post is one I am really excited for you to see... You'll understand why VERY shortly! 
Anyway, so you may already know that I love to watch YouTube videos (don't we all?) and I've been seeing videos on shoe collections, makeup collections and.... Phone case collections? Yes, phone case collections are quite fun to watch too - it reveals a lot about ones personality - are you more edgy/rock star or more girly/Taylor Swift?


 Actually just as I had finished exporting the images, I realised that I forgot to add two other phone cases I have which were stored away - one is from Victorias Secret and the other is a rhinestoned pink peacock! Sorry! Moving on.....


The Pink Polka dot case was the first phone case added to my collection- if I remember correctly. I have the iPhone 4S and have had it for a while now. This case was on sale on Amazon and my friend bought the same one and recommended it to me. Weirdly enough, although we ordered from the same place, mine was a few shades lighter than hers! But it is totally cute and did its job.


This one is one of my favourites. I bought it from my trip to Spain last April and it is gorgeous! I love the girly touch of the roses, and the red colour reminds me of the flamenco classes we took in Spain! It was also inexpensive and I bought it at a market place in Seville. The city is beautiful!


I currently have this one on my phone, it's a bog-standard pink colour with a metallic kind of finish. As it is textured, it's quite easy to hold on to too - being the clutz that I am, it's less likely for me to drop it! Actually, my mum bought this for me from Tortoise Look as it is quite sturdy so keeps my phone scratch-free!


Finally, the newest to the collection: my baby. This one I've designed myself. I added the rhinestones by hand and love the fact I got to personalise it. I bought it from MrNutCase who sell custom phone cases and also a wide range of designs to choose from too! They have many phone models you can buy the cases for and there is no extra charge to add a customised design! The delivery was super fast too - to put it to perspective: I designed and ordered the case on Monday night and it arrived on Wednesday afternoon! 🐵 (<-- I was a happy monkey when it came through my letterbox!)

Well, there ya go! Have you got a story behind your fav phone case? Oh, and are you more of the edgy or girly type? 😉

Nail of the Day: Blue Bling Geometrics

Hello!

I come in peace... with a nail of the day post! (I don't know why I said that...) Anyway, so this time when I decided to paint my nails while catching up on Pretty Little Liars - which I am LOVING by the way - I found myself wanting to do some sort of nail art - talk about multi-tasking!

 I firstly decided on using the colour orange with a silver but went ahead with the turquoise and silver combination instead, and I'm so glad I did! I also found some blue rhinestones that I could use to bling up my nails. I usually go for an accent nail on my ring finger but wanted to try something different - so this time around I bling-ed out all of my nails, this way my pinkie and other nails don't feel left out!


 I love painting my nails while watching YouTube videos or a TV show as I find my hands don't fidget around much while the nails are drying, meaning less chance of smudging - don't you just hate it when you spend forever doing your nails and then you smudge it or get prints on the nail? After all that time and effort... gosh!

Anyway, I received quite a few compliments on the nails, even today while I was at the store the woman asked if I did them myself or got them done, to be honest I had forgotten I had done my nails like this and was surprised at the comment - it was obviously a nice comment so I wasn't disappointed!


The thing is, the look is so simple to achieve that literally no tools were required! I simply used the nail brush itself to create the triangles and then stuck the rhinestones on - actually to make the rhinestone step easier I used a steel nail file but could have surely used my hands for this.


So yes, a simple but nonetheless lovely look to try out this summer, you could mix and match the colour combination too! By the way, you may have noticed this nail look in my smoothies post, which was yummy by the way.

Alright, so let me know what you think and other simple nail art that you love!
