DIY: How to do false nails yourself

Welcome back.

Getting your nails done in the salon can either be time consuming or sometimes expensive. So I thought why not do a post on how to do your nails yourself, which is inexpensive. It's all about patience...

Make sure you have clean hands before starting. First off, if you have nail polish left on your nails clean it off with acetone.

The best thing about false nails is that you can buy them literally anywhere. Either in a drugstore or online, I bought mine from superdrug's around £3 or £4 (false nails range between £3-£7).

You should have a guide in the packet,  if not you can use my blogpost as a guide 😊.


1.) Clip nails down and smooth nail base with a nail file ( should come with the nail kit)

2.) Push cuticles down, do not be too harsh with your cuticles.

3.) Place nails on the table and choose the right acrylic nail that fits on your nails. (make sure you place them aside so you do not get confused with the wrong size nail) You can also file the acrylic nail before putting it on.

4.) Have a few cotton buds nearby when using the glue. Put glue on your small finger nail then add a little on acrylic nail ( do not put glue on your cuticle) then press down firmly and hold for 5 seconds.

5.) Have patience!!!

6.) You should have all nails on, wash your hands again and dry thoroughly. Shape the nails to your desired look or keep them as they are.

7.) Get ready to paint those nails. Any colour of your choice, I decided to go for the Barry M gelly hi-shine polish in black cherry (ring finger) and sparkling amethyst. I love dark nails

8.) Make sure you let the nail polish dry for 10-15 minutes max, so it does not mess up.

9.) Then your done girl 🙆💃💅💁

Pink is the new black

Come on, who doesn't like pink... I haven't done a makeup look like this before and thought why not post a makeup look using new products, plus products I didn't agree with before but absolutely love now. 

Pink is one of my favourite colours and I have never done a inspiration look like this before. A youtuber named 'Thatgirlshaexo' did this eye look, but I changed the lip colour and a few other things. Everything will be listed below the images, enjoy guys!!! xoxo

    Primer: The Body Shop 'matte it' primer

Eyeshadow: Self-made palette Anastasia Beverly Hills  (Butterly, hot n cold, hot chocolate, treasury middle lower lash line and inner corner)

Marks and Spencer's eyeshadow duo in Sandblast  (used blast for the base)

Eyeliner: Maybelline gel liner and khol liner, Loreal superliner (perfect slim/superstar)

Mascara: Its cosmetics Hello Lashes

Foundation: Ex1 foundation F500 and Relvon nearly naked Caramel.

Concealer: Collection perfection in Dark 4

Pressed powder: Maybelline fit me press in Coconut 

Highlight: Becca Shimmering Perfector poured Moonstone (trying out for the first and it's amazing)

Contour/bronzer: Keyvn Aucoin The matte bronzing veil in Dessert Nights (Amazeballs!!)

Brows: A little bit off Mac spiked pencil and maybelline gel liner (wiped off a bit cause it was too intense)

Lips: Mac lipliner in nightmoth and YSL lipstick Fushia in rage. 

I bought this lipstick online about a year ago and did not like it because it was too sheer. But once I tried it on again a few days ago with the lipliner it blew me away and I love it now.

Lipstick alternatives: Rimmel lipstick in shade 20

Or Relvon lip butter in lollipop (075)

Brushes used:
Real Technique's: Miracle complexion Sponge

Guess who's back!!!

Hello guys,

Well it has been a long time, a whole year right. A lot has happened from working to graduating in September 2015 and getting my life organised for 2016. I have many things to share with you guys, from beauty,  to inspirational things,  to organising yourself. Honestly I've missed blogging and interacting with you guys and social media. A quick reminder you can get through to me on Twitter: bubbly_bobbie/ Snapchat: bobbie_briscoe. 

 Just a quick update on what has been going on. How's your 2016 going so far?  I would love to know...

Bobbie xoxo 

December favs

Hey guys,  ready for 2015. I know I am. Cannot end the year without having a December favourites,  although this is more of a what have I purchased lately. I hope you enjoy guys xxx

 I took a trip to the Debenham's store in Oxford Street and decided to have a little spend on perfume. My intentions was to buy Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf but then I remembered I had my eye set from two Christmas's ago on 'La Vie est Belle'. The other two products from Philip Kingsley are from Lookfantastic. 

1. Lancome 'La vie est belle' Perfume and Lotion (Free gift with purchase)

'La vie est belle' what would I do without you in my live. The smell lingers on forever, it smells incredible and lasts all day. I bought this during the summer time and said to myself I will open this on Christmas day. I made the right choice, the combinations of orange blossom and Jasmin just make it everything you ever wished for. the right statement piece to have in your collection.

2. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme and Philip Kingsley Flaky/Itchy Scalp Shampoo.

I heard so much about the Philip Kingsley products especially the Philip Kingsley elasticizer. I decided to buy the elasticizer extreme as my hair is natural (type 4b/4C), right now I wear weaves or extensions just for protective styling. I did manage to use both products and what the elaticizer does is it smooths your hair, it is a pre- shampoo. This works extremely well,  I use it with coconut oil and leave it on over night and wash it out in the morning. Definitely another holy grail.

The shampoo works really well, it smells like apples which I adore. I need something to calm down my dry scalp sometimes (Damn you relaxer!!!).  It's not a everyday shampoo for me, but I use it when I take my weave out usually.

 I bought nail polishes from Barry M,  Essie and Models own. Barry M have the showgirl mascara which I got free with purchase. You can't go wrong with buying books or novels, I had to get my hands on 'Gone girl',  so far it's good (only read one chapter) will have to let you guys know later.

Hope you enjoyed my favourites. Wishing you all a lovely and prosperous time for the new year. Bring on 2015... Xxx

I've decided to do another Christmas wishlist for this year. I'm not expecting too much this year. I just know spending Christmas with the family is all I care about, plus the delicious Christmas food. I'm so excited about that, as I'm still at uni for just a few more days.

Black Friday '

I went a little crazy on Black Friday spending a bit too much. Hello it's not a tradition over in the UK, can you blame me... I had to get my hands on some 'Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution' lipsticks. And 'Oh my goodness' I have fallen in love. I'm so impressed with the formula,  the lipsticks are so creamy and smooth and to think they're a matte form. On the packaging it describes how the lipsticks are 'enriched with Papaya and Orchid to hydrate and glowing pigments for full volume lips'. They retail at £23.00 each.

The Shades: 'Bond girl' and 'Glastonberry'

'Glastonberry'- A sheer blackcurrant/ deep purple colour

'Bond Girl'- A chic natural berry/ pink shade, quite close to my lip colour. 

So if you want to purchase these lovely lipsticks or even her make-up range you can get it from her website or Selfridges. Click the link...
This would be a lovely gift idea for Christmas or any other occasion.

Rimmel Polishes

Hey guys, 

Long time no see. I'm sure you must be looking forward to the Christmas Holidays,  which is coming up soon. Cannot believe its nearly Christmas. 

Right so I have a little confession to make.  I think I'm addicted to buying nail polishes because my nail polish collection is getting beyond a joke. I've recently bought the Rimmel nail polishes and I have to say I'm quite impressed. At first, judging from the price I thought the nail polish would be quite cheap and not long lasting. I was wrong,  the new or fairly new Rita Ora Rimmel range is quite amazing. Off course being £2.99 each the polish chips in 3 days, but considering the price the pigment is perfect and the coat is flawless. They give a lovely shine and I think the range will suit anyone. I have a few photo's to show you guys. Tell me what colours you like or if you bought these too.

Rimmel colours: Rita Rouge

Do not disturb

Oragasm 

I only had a chance to take one photo of me wearing one of the nail polishes. I have tried them all and they give the same finish as shown in the photo. Can purchase these at Boots or Superdrug's.
