Retro Barbie Nails Tutorial

I thought I’d try out a quick and easy nail tutorial, I created this look over a year ago. I didn’t really feel like enough people saw my post or I explained clearly enough how the look was achieved. I hope everyone enjoys it!

Galaxy jeans and Tshirt YouTube tutorial

The first fashion tutorial is up on YouTube, I’m customising a pair of black skinny jeans with a trendy galaxy print.

For this tutorial you will want to avoid buying expensive jeans, I brought mine on ebay for £6.89. If you are buying the Acrylic Paints especially for this tutorial you can buy a small pack for cheap at your local pound store or the works. I brought my Rachael Hale Acrylic Paints in Poundland. You can also replace using the Gold Fabric Paint with using white Acrylic paints for a cheaper alternative.

Barbie keyring

This cute keychain was £3 from eBay, I love this retro barbie design. It reminds me of the nighties when I was just a little girl. I also a a cup I a similar design, the collect was made by a company called “half moon bay”. It’s totally unique and retro.

Pull off the Barbie look with style

20130807-001822.jpg

With the perches of my last rimmel London coral nail polish which has now finished. I thought I would buy another, I brought a different shade this time “instyle coral”. Pastel colours are the current trend amount
nail colour.

The packaging states that only 1 coat of paint is needed but I find that I need 2 as the first is a little transparent. It’s also says that it only takes 1 second to apply which is also a lie. I’ve found that most of rimmel London nail varnishes have the same problem with transparency especially with the black nail colour.

I would never pay more than £5 for a nail varnish and expect to find a few flaws with the nail polish. It’s not perfect but does the job.

I decided to mix my new nail colour with a black and white feature nail design to match an outfit I put together. I loved the result, it reminded me of the vintage barbie.
I love this simple look and feel I pulled if the barbie look without looking fake, plastic or I was trying too hard.

My playsuit

This is my finished playsuit, isn’t aspired by the Adonis blue butterfly. The quality of the image is a little low, I shall plan to have some better photos taken.

Gold Necklace

This week decided to buy a “style your own” necklace. In advanced to deciding what I would write I thought about it. I was inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s shock tactic and celebrity gangster culture to write an offensive and obscene message.
Male rappers often use women as sexual objects in their music videos such as Robin Thickes “Blurred Lines”, which recently went to number 1.
I feel as though its a bit of a cliche now, it’s times to switch rolls!
