Revision Playlist

I'm sure you've all noticed that my posts have been becoming a little sparse recently, sorry! It's just that I have exams in a week and I have been trying to revise for them and spend a little less time on the internet. 

If you anything like me, you probably find it hard to focus on hours of revision without your attention wandering and finding yourself easily distracted by the simplest of things. I find music really helps with this, and I have found a playlist with 7+ hours of music that helps with revision.

New Blog Design

Welcome to the new UNSTITCHEDD, I'm so excited that my blog design is finally up! I really like the colours and design of it and I would like to say a massive thank you to Sabrina who did everything for me, she is a wizard with HTML and I wouldn't have had a clue what to do. The layout also works a lot better on the iPad and other handheld devices, whereas it didn't before. 

In honour of the new design, I am really hoping to really work on my photography over the summer holidays when I have the time. I want to establish a theme so that my photos all blend together, fit in the same theme and are all edited the same so that they aren't so disjointed. There are also a few new links on the page, not all of them are working yet, I am sorry! But I promise that they will be up soon!

Have fun looking around! 

Sparkly Daisy Nails

We've had so much sun in the last few days that I thought it would be nice to paint something a little more spring inspired on my nails. The photos aren't great, and don't show it very clearly the little flowers that I painted on my nails, but I still love the effect that it gives in real life. The blue from barry M is a perfect Spring/Summer colour, has a really milky texture and dries really quickly. The white that I used was actually a new purchase, and although a nice consistency it wan't really suit to nail art as it is not pigmented enough in one coat. 

The glitter nail polish that I used is so beautiful, and comes from the Nails Inc Winter collection so I am not sure if it is still available to purchase. It becomes opaque in two coats (pretty good for a glitter nail polish I think) and works really well as both the accent nail and the dots on the flowers. It's a very simple look and easy to create, and fits perfectly with the time of year! 

What do you think? 

P.S Sorry my posts are becoming a little more sparse, I have exams that I am busy with but after that they will return to normal! Please bear with me! 

Naked 2 Palette Review

Naked 2 Palette - £36

The Naked Palettes have always had a lot of hype in the online beauty world, with beautiful pigmented colours in easy to wear shades, and something about them just sucked me right in. This is actually the first big palette of eyeshadows that I have ever bought and I am really glad that I went for this one because it has some absolutely beautiful colours in it. 

The first thing that struck me as I opened the palette was the wide range of shadows. There is a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters going from almost white to black. Because of this, they are so versatile, and this palette could create a look for any occasion. Since buying it, I don't think I have worn any other shadows on my eyes! The formulation of the products is beautiful too, they are tightly packed and so therefore almost creamy to touch, the colour pay-off is absolutely amazing, a swipe on the brush and you get a pretty much opaque colour and something that lasts all day. 

From left to right the colours are Foxy, an off-white matte, Half-Baked, a golden glitter, Booty Call, a pale pinkish white shimmer, Chopper, a copper shimmer, Tease, a matte purple toned brown, Snakebite, a dark almost olive brown shimmer, Suspect, a cool toned shimmer, Pistol, a light grey shimmer, Verve, a silver shimmer, YDK, a cool brown glitter, Busted, a dark grey shimmer and Blackout, a matte black. 

For everyday eyes, at the moment I have been wearing Foxy all over the lid with Tease in the crease and Blackout along the lash line replacing eyeliner. I have also been looking colour combinations on the internet for more dramatic eyes, so I may do another post with what I come up with, let me know what you think!
