Rainy Days Nail Art

So my plan for going for a tea time run has now been ruined by the current absurd wether going on in the NorthEast of England right now! So here I am blogging to you about my lonnng afternoon locked inside of my room listening to the thunder and lightening =) *Big Smiles* I love thunderrrr!!

However I think I might just run up into the loft and grab the hunters so I can parade down my street (which now looks like a scene from singling in the rain!) Then again maybe an umbrella isn't the best of accessory in these conditions...


Iv'e been to Florida so many times and I guess Im a little less wowed by the weather were getting as my twitter and FB are crowded with pics of flooding (what a lovely sight) Im more bothered about my poor little Clio who loves to let the rain leak through the sunroof!! Cue my unimpressed face..

Like I said its been raining for agesss here so I decided to get busy and whack out the nail varnish and try some new designs. Seen as it is actually supposed to be summer here in the uk I went for a tribal/aztec feel in some lovely bright colours.



The nail pens I used were buy Rio and they were the Neon collection. I flicked through designs for the tribal theme but in the end jut went with what fitted on to the nail. For my first try at nail art with the pens I must say i found it really easy and even managed to paint my right hand (although the lines were a little shaky!)  
So shat do you think of this nail art look a big thumbs up or one to skip?
Thunder & lightening..  Love or Hate?? And if your in the northeast whats the weather like where you are?? share your pics with me on Twitter @hollyryd =)

Love, Holly xoxo

My Summer Essentials...



With the warm weather vastly approaching and summer wardrobes making their debut here is my look at the top trends that you won’t want to miss out on when you’re parting it up for summer 2012!

STYLE OBSESSION
NOVELTY T-SHIRTS

When it comes to the novelty trend, more is more. You don't need to go style bananas the crazy-yet-cool printed t-shirt is a brilliant way to be playful and fun this summer!

Lazy Oaf Mixed Fruit T-Shirt £35, 
ASOS T-Shirt With Spotty Winking Eye £20, Watermelon Skirt £45.



STYLE OBSESSION
TRIBAL TRENDSETTER

Amazon inspired tribal patterns & animal prints
(I love zebra!) raced down the runways of Marni, Burberry and Balenciaga managed to pimp up the Safari suit. A tribal motif dress is your easy option, but bright beadwork, fringing and crochet knits all have that cool, handcrafted vibe to them too. Animal print tees add a fierce touch, while fluoro highlight and bold accessories add a carefree feel to this look.

TOPSHOP Shorts £30,  Accessorize Santorini Stone Ring £14,
ASOS Aztec Backpack With Leather Straps £45.



STYLE OBSESSION
ICE CREAM PASTLES

Pale & Interesting is the way forwards this spring/summer with designers such as Louis Vuitton covering the runway with cotton candy colours. But fear not, you don’t need to spend your entire student loan on big designer, as there is plenty to keep you sweet on the high street!
Miss Selfridge Peach Zip Front Vest £25, River Island Candy stripe jean £45, 
ASOS Oversized Bowler Bag £36, ASOS Sweetie Stud Earrings £4 (bargin!)

Really Hope you like my top picks for the spring, these are the 3 main 'trends' I really like and I think are really fun and easy to wear everyday! 
Love Holly
