Wardrobe Psychology: Ohh La La Orange

Orange is the colour of stimulation!

 It encourages appetite, conversation, enthusiasm and all round good vibes. It is an exciting colour that is very bright and warm. In orange you will definitely  stand out and appear confident and independent. With the fiery passion of red and they cheerfulness of yellow, orange is the best of both worlds! 

Brighten your life with some juicy orange tones!

How Do You Wear Daring Colours?!

Pretty Polka Dots, Valentines Nail Tutorial.

Here is an easy step by step guide on how to get a cute polka dot nail ready for Valentines Day or any other day really.

 Its so versatile and easy even I can do it!!

First File your nails. I always leave my old polish on to do this, its supposed to keep your nails from becoming too damaged. Also it is easier to see what shape you are creating

Next Remove all nail polish.

Next to push back the cuticles. I Use Sally Hanson Gel Cutical Remover

And then Push back with an orange stick.

Next Avon 24K gold strength Base coat

MUA Plum Noir

Apply a thin coat to all nails except the ring finger and allow to dry.

Then apply a 2nd coat and third if necessary.

Next select your accent colour.

Again, apply as many coats as required and allow to dry between.

This Pink polish is Sizzler By Barbara Daily for Tesco.

Next put a blob of Plum Noir on a piece of scrap paper.

Use the point of an orange stick or a dotting tool,

...to apply polka dots, randomly, over the accent nail.

Repeat on the other hand.

Allow to dry.

As you can tell I am not the neatest nail painter. A cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover,can clean up and messy smudges.

Next select a Top coat. Disco Tech by Miss Sporty is nice. It leaves a great shine and is a bargain.

n

Paint the tips of your fingernail to avoid chipping.

Et Voila 

What nails will you be sporting this Valentines day?

Wardrobe Psychology : Yummy Yellow.

Yellow is the colour of sunshine. It is a bright, cheerful colour that denotes happiness and fun. Yellow is said to improve concentration, alertness and even speed up metabolism. Yellow is a welcoming colour that invites people in and catches there eye. Although yellow can sometimes be overpowering, it is stimulating, modern and very individual. Surround yourself with the colour of summer and improve your mood and that, of those around you! 

Good Morning sunshine!
