SCRATCH Nails Neon Speckle Nail Wraps
For a short period of time not long ago I was stupidly obsessed with nail art, trying marbling, nail art pens and even nail wraps, but I just don't have the time anymore! I was recently contacted by SCRATCH Nails about some nail wraps and thought I'd give it a go as they do some absolutely gorgeous designs, and every month they feature a different artists designs. They have some seriously cool wraps at the moment designed by Britney Tokyo, the Shibuya Fresh being my favourite!
As I said above, I have tried nail wraps before from Nail Rock and they actually turned out terribly - bubbles everywhere and they just didn't stay flat, and seeing as I get acrylic overlays I didn't think these would work. As you can see they went on absolutely fine and I'm so happy with how they turned out, it took half an hour ish to do while watching the Great British Bakeoff finale and the best part - no waiting for your nails to dry! I love the designs and I can't wait to try out my other wraps, I'll be sure to keep you guys updated!

HAUL // To Die For Bikini
So with summer coming up I really wanted to share my brand new bikini with you guys! It's from online shop To Die For and they do an incredible selection of holidaywear. I picked the Sugar Daisy set because I'm really into neon at the moment, and it always makes the palest of skintones look that little bit more sunkissed. To Die For are a Swedish brand who have a patented design, with the bikini bottoms designed to 'lift' your booty, to get a better fit, and can I tell you they are successful in their venture, the bikini looks amazing on! (although I'm afraid I'm not quite confident enough to show you guys). The online shop has a range of this bikini in different colour combinations as well as other designs and some gorgeous swimsuits if bikini's aren't your thing. Check out the shop here, which is your favourite item?

'Glow stick' neon dress* // Lulu's [link]
Metal cuff // eBay
Inverted cross earring // Reading fest 2011

Rings // Rachael Sudlow [link], etsy, eBay, Thomas Sabo, Tatty Devine [link]
The only thing I don't like about this outfit is that I really wish I'd worn a belt with it! The photos were taken at my mums and because I've been living at my dads house more recently I left all my nice belts at his house, so I had to make do without. I adore this dress, and I'm so disappointed at how badly my camera translates the colour of it. It's a really bright neon pink but it doesn't come out as amazing on camera which sucks. I bought these shoes off eBay and I'm not totally sure if I like them that much. I feel they were more of a novelty buy but I still wear them nevertheless!

I was a little nervous about posting these pictures with how much flesh I'm showing but what the heck! This is just one of the many ways I can style up this bralet! I can't wait to pair it with a sheer white shirt or with a bodycon skirt to make it dressy. I'm considering wearing this outfit to Reading Festival which is coming up, obviously replacing the heels with wellies!

LULUS.COM Haul!
'Hang Ten' neon trimmed bralet* // £26 [link]
'Glow Stick' neon pink dress* // £27.50 [link]
'Metal Detector' black blouse* // £28.92 [link]
I just had to show you all the items I got from Lulu's recently. Sorry about the weird lighting, I took the pictures in the lightest room of my dads house and even then it's really dark so the colour of the wallpaper changes in each photo, but isn't the print cute! I'll be styling everything up in outfits soon enough but I couldn't wait that long to post pictures as everything is so beautiful! I honestly couldn't pick a favourite if I tried as they are all different styles and can be put together in so many ways, I especially cannot wait to wear the dress out. They had it in a neon yellow/green colour but that sold out so fast which sucked. The blouse also goes so perfectly with the metal hardware trend at the moment and I love that you can wear the bralet either by itself or under a sheer blouse as a subtle detail. Which item is your favourite? Have you ordered from Lulu's before?

Neon Nails!
I went to the salon to get my nails done as they were getting totally out of hand, and were hideously grown out, and I'm loving the neon nails trend at the moment so went with a bright pink! It's completely different to the colours I usually go for, as I prefer neutral tones or blacks, but this colour adds a little pop to all of my outfits and I'm really tempted to buy a ton more neon colours!
