My School Nails

At the school I attend, coloured nail polish is banned so in order to make my nails look half decent in school, this is what I do;

Firstly, I remove any nail polish already on my nails.

I then file them and push my cuticles back.

I then apply one or two coats of a clear/pink manicure colour. I use either the FCUK or the Natural Collection polishes.

Today I decided to go for FCUK.

This is what it looks like after one coat. I generally tend to only do one coat as I run out of time to do the second. I also think nail polish gets chipped easier if there's more coats on it - especially in school!

To finish it all off I use the Garnier Intensive Restoring Hand Cream to keep my hands feeling fresh and moisturised.

I hope you enjoy this quick little post!

Back to School (Two Months Later...)

As I've been back to school for nearly two months now (very overdue blog post), I thought I would share with you what all I would bring to school on a daily basis!

My school bag is a black Ted Baker bag. You can find it here, however the bow is a slightly different colour!

My bag is from Creative Gardens and it was only £9, I really like the spotty pattern.

My file is from Eason.

As you can see, my pencil case is from Paperchase and this is where I get my pencil case from every year! Click here to check out their website, as I think that they have the sweetest stationary ever!

I have an obsession with Oxford Paper as it is so so nice! If you highlight or write really heavily on the page, you can write on the other side of the page too! I normally would only write on one side of the page on any other file paper but on Oxford I would use both sides. I got these ring binders for £2 each on offer in Tesco. Always shop around before you buy them as there is nearly always an offer on them somewhere!

This is just some of the stationary that I tend to use. My highlighters are very bright as I like making my word super colourful!

Let me know via my blog, Twitter or Instagram if you want me to do a "What's in my schoolbag" blog post or anything similar to that!

Love you all,

Ellen xo
