Think pink!

So I saw these nails and instantly fell in love. I know a tad dramatic, but who wouldn't. Simple yet extremely glamorous. Here's the instructions and  the  equipment needed for the tutorial :)

You need:

• Pale pink nail varnish
• Gold glitter nail varnish
• French manicure tip guides 
• Tissue (for any mistakes)
• Nail dryer (optional)
• Cuticle pusher (optional)
• Clear nail varnish

Method:

1. Place the circular tip guides at the back of your nails. Make sure they are right up close to the skin. As you can see in the picture (the gold section) ^ Make sure the guide is firmly pressed down.
2. Paint your nails pale pink, then allow drying time. You can use a nail dryer if you'd like to.
3. Peel the tip guide off- you can use a cuticle pusher for this. 
4. There should now be a semi circle shape with no colour near the back of your nails. Now you need steady hands. Paint the clear semi-circle gold, with the gold glitter nail varnish. You could always get someone to faintly hold the tip guide just above the gap whilst you paint it. Whichever way you want. Then allow drying time, you can use a nail dryer if you'd like to. 
5. Paint your nails again, this time use the clear nail varnish. Allow drying time. Once dry, you can use the tissue (or if you have any other tools suitable, toothpicks work well) to clean up around the edges if you're a messy painter.

You're done! Time to go into glamour puss mode. 

Remember to email me pictures of your new nails at arrayostyle@hotmail.co.uk I always love to see what you create!

Here's some of the tools you need to purchase for this tutorial-

With Fashion week upon us, I thought instead of a 'heated discussion' why not showcase models of the moment Cara Delevigne, Jourdan Dunn & Rosie Tapner doing the new dance craze, 'Harlem Shake'. At the Topshop fashion show. Here you go:

In love with this look from London Fashion Week- trying to discover the designer.  <3

#NYFW Round up

New York, New York!

Quick round up of some of the main A/W 2013 shows & trends to embrace,

Victoria Beckham: Very tailored and suit style. Colours were very muted and the prints were simple. I love the yellow. The cinched in belt and over sized handbag: classic Posh Spice. Also some pleatled, kilt skirts have been creeping up on the catwalks (were also spotted at Reed Krakoff). Triangular shapes were also spotted.

DVF: Models smiling? Well some tried and failed. I really some of these outfits, specially the last three. The use of jewel metallics complimented the clothes perfectly. Trends were clashing geometric prints, metallics, pencil skirts, cinched in belts, jewel colours and more :)

DKNY: Thought this collection was very varied. It started with a sport luxe theme, very bold shapes and muted colours (like pic one) then fiesty with leopard's taking over! Peplums and leopard print are the way to go. Sink your teeth into rawr-some leopard knitwear & beanies. Me guessing they've been on Tumblr recently. Liking the last outfit as a casual look, but the pic before is really urban. Mr T jewelry much?

Marc Jacobs: This collection was a tad saucy, if I dare say. Featuring pinstripe high waisted shorts and well legs everywhere. Not sure the public would wear shorts in Autumn/Winter. The style wasn't quite flapper, but maybe the 50's style or possibly older. Prints were mainly sequins with fur scarfs (not keen on fur) these definitely made the collection very decadent and demure. Peter pan collars arose on the trench coats; a little like Alexa Chung. Silver everywhere, guessing for the party season. But shorts in Winter? Marc if you're reading can you tell me when does anyone goes out in the snow, in shorts? Hair and make-up were a bit different, like Gallagher hair.

Calvin Klein: Saw Karlie Kloss, surprised she didn't open the show. Defintely a structured collection; with sharp silhouettes, shoulders and elbows you wouldn't want to get in the way of. Think modern and minimalism also think Star Trek. With the slick hair, stealthy coats, leather skirts 

That lovey dovey day

Valentines day! (On Sunday as only just got round to it!)
Today is the day bombarded with lovey, dovey ness. Or international singles awareness day. Whichever you prefer to call it; it's still Valentines Day. I got another card from Nan this year. A normal Nan would be all 'You're my Valentine sweetie!' or a cute, poem she's written. Whereas, my Nan sends me a card (every year) which reads, 'Aha alone again this year'. Giving the impression of Nan snuggled to her dog; caustically laughing.

With that thought in mind, I entered school. Of course as a teenager, you have weird stalkers. So as I entered this guy (in my year who pesters me 24/7 and obviously doesn't get the message I'm not interested) is all 'Oh give me a hug it's Valentines Day' and hugs me. I'm like, 'I wouldn't hug you anyday...' but before I could say that I've been hugged, and regretted it. Thank you my tired self; next V Day an early night is called for. Dance exams are certainly not lovey, dovey. These are tough. Literally just you, a camera and a eagle-eyed teacher in a vacant room. Thankfully this time around it was with a small group. So we did it once, it went okay. Wasn't as stop and start as expected. But the other girls in my group wanted a second try down to nerves. As we were jamming for the second time around, at the part 'My cherry popped' (Candyman we performed to) our form tutor and about 3 other boys walked in. We forgot the dance, they laughed and hid in one of the cupboards... with the door wide open. You wouldn't guess who one of the boys was, yes my stalker. Eurgh. If only you could pick your stalkers. Mine would be Sam Way, Zac Efron or MazziMaz. Even DanIsNotOnFire- I'd imagine he'd recreate one of those Mission Impossible moments.
Tomorrow it's #ModelMonday and I've got another debate to cause (what's new).

See ya's for tomorrow. Hope your V Day was lush. Do tell in the comments. What were in your cards this year? May I add my brother sent a girl in his class a homemade card and blushed when we arose the topic. Bless his little cotton socks! And apparently a girl in his class got a card saying 'Lick me'. She's 8...
