TREND ALERT: Galaxy print

The new galaxy print is a new trend for this season. Inspired by the galaxy the colours mixed together look amazing. The print works well on t-shirts, leggings, shoes and accessories.

Added with a plain black skirt and pumps make this trend look fashion casual. A great outfit to wear in the day.

This image from lookbook.nu is a great way to show off the trend. Adding the print with a plain top. Doesn't make the outfit too garish. I love these leggings the colours really do stand out.

Scouted at lollapalooza festival by vogue, I love this aztec look.the colours are amazing together. Very festival inspired.

I loved the tribal inspired nail art so much I thought I would try the design myself. This design was so cheap to do.

How to get the Aztec look

I used a base coat on the nail first, so the bright colours doesn't stain the nail. I'm using "the edge base coat" which I bought at a beauty wholesale but any base coat will do.

I chose these three colours, all available to purchase from boots at around £2.00 each. This pale colours work really well together. Apply the different colours to your nails.

Apply the colour to the nail use two or three coats to get a matte look.

When the nail polish is dry, now it's time to add the tribal lines. I used these nail art pens which are available from "body care" which cost £1.99 for a pack of three and are available in lots od different colours. For my nails I'm going to use the purple and White nail art pen.

If you have a steady hand drawing the tribal lines onto the nail is pretty easy, but if you take your time. You can get the look. I drew three diagonal lines from the corner of the nail.

Then add three horizontal lines in the middle of the line connecting them to the other lines.
You can try your own designs. I fouund it easier to draw different designs on paper to practice.

If you want your aztec nails to last longer why not try "Sally Hensons diamond finish" it costs around £6.00 but it's a great way to finsh off your nails. It has a lovely gloss finish and it's a tough top coat so your nail colour will last longer.

Finger moustache

Wikipedia reference
"The finger moustache tattoo, otherwise known as the "fingerstache", is a tattoo of a stylized moustache on the index finger. The finger is then placed between the nose and the lips, simulating a moustache. Its particular origin is unknown, however, the recent revival dates to the summer of 2003 in Columbus, Ohio, where a local tattoo artist began tattooing mustaches as a joke"

The latest craze of finger moustache has become very popular, not only men can grow a moustache :)
