Nail Appliqués - review + demo ♡

Hey people...
Victoria here,






Im so exited for todays blogpost. It was about a year ago when i found out about this amazing,beautiful and handy creation. They are the nail appliqués, nail stickers or nail wraps whatever you may want to call it. One of the best thing about these nail appliqués are that they take no drying time as i can be very impatient when it comes to nail and their drying time. They also look amazing with zero effort. My moms friend actually introduced them to me first. She had told me that she had so many that she had not used, and probably would not use, so she gave them all to me. I was so pumped to used them. I found out they were super easy to use and that it had no drying time. They last about a good 7 or 8 days if a topcoat is reapplied very like 4 days (even without reapplying they will still last for about a week). If theres a downside i can say about these are that you can only get 1 use out of them. They are not re useable like nail polish, so you'll have to pick yourself up another one. 

So today I'm gonna show you how i apply them. 
The one i used are these glow in the dark hounds tooth design from born pretty store. 
Link here -

1. remove all your nail polish and make sure your nails are oil free

2. File your nails in the shape you want them to be.

3. Paint on 1 coat of a base-coat polish unto your nails to protect your nails
   I used the Barry M 3 in 1 base coat top coat and nail hardener.



4. Size the nail appliqués with your actual nails without removing them from the paper.

5. When you have the correct size, peel it off the backing paper and apply it on your nails.

6. File off the excess sticker appliqués with your nail file


7. Apply and good topcoat on top of your nails making sure to seal the the edges and tips of your nail so the nail appliqués stay on for a good amount of time. You can top your nail with another topcoat in about 3 days to keep it on for longer.





Thats how you get your nail appliqués on whoop whoop. You can get the nail appliqués in drugstores and online so i recommend www.bornprettystore.com. If you've seen from my previous blogposts bornpretty store have given me a unique coupon code to share with you guys its VIPH10. They have many different designs of nail appliqués so check them out.

Victoria here,

As you know I'm a little obsessed with smoothies. So i have another one to share to with you guys yay. I actually never use to like berries before apart from like strawberries. But during the summer I've been eating different types berries and really like them now. I've been trying this smoothie for a couple of days and different fruit to try and get a balanced taste and I settled on this. You can substitute the mi wadi squash for any other juice or even water. This smoothie is great to start your morning as it has many berries which have lots of good vitamins like vitamin C.  Anyways lets get this smoothie started.

Ingredients/equipment:
- handful of grapes
- 5 strawberries
- 1 peeled peach
- frozen forest berries mix (currents, blackberries, blackcurrents,raspberries,blueberries)
- hand blender/stand blender/any blender in general
- any juice or water (i used mi wadi squash in tropical)







——————————–––————————————————————————————————

1. Remove the stem from strawberries and grapes and put into blender with frozen berry mix.

2. Peel the peach and chop up into cubes and put into your blender

3. Pour your juice/water into blender along with everything else.

4. Blend until smooooootheee 

5. Pour into a glass or cup and slightly cut the bottom of a strawberry and put on the rim of the glass for garnish. Then enjoy ❁

BornPrettyStore Lipsticks Review

Hey guys....
Victoria here,

 I'm gonna be doing my bornprettystore review on their 2 gorgeous lipsticks. The shipping was actually faster than i thought it was going to be, since its shipped from hong-kong.Bornprettystore is an online store where they sell various things eg.makeup, nail things, clothes, jewellery and much more at a VERY affordable price. And on top of that all there's FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Amazing right. (If you wanna read more about bornprettystore see my previous post titled 'bornprettyStore Collab') and to top it all off, bornprettystore has gave me a unique 10% off coupon code to give to you guys. The code is along the side of my blog. (The code VIPH10). Just enter the code in when you're about to checkout.

There's a great discount on lipsticks on BornPrettyStore now, €1.34 on the 4 lipsticks or lip pencil, here link for you to see whether you like them or not. 
http://www.bornprettystore.com/show.php?filter=rise_price&type=specials&cid=496  
Anyways.... onto the review. (And I know I'm not the best lip model haha.)

I got 2 lipsticks-

1. lipstick in shade 06 Click (to check out the lipstick on their site)

2. lipstick in shade 09 Click (to check out the lipstick on their site) 

Review
#09 - is a very pretty baby pink. This lipstick along with the other one is very pigmented and moisturising. Its like a lipstick version of lip-balm its very nice. I'm not a person who would go for a pink like that ever but i decided to try it and really liked it tbh. In the picture below i have on a thin coat of the colour but you can layer it on. One thing that was bittersweet about the 2 lipsticks were the size of the lipstick. They were a little smaller than what I expected it to be. But then I thought it would be perfect for your makeup bag or purse because of the size. The lipsticks also make your lips a little bit plumper without the tingling feeling which is amazing.

#06 - is a medium pink and is actually my favourite out of the two. The colour is just perf tbh. I could rave about the colour forever. Its also very moisturising and pigmented. Again i only have thin layer on, but you can apply more on to built up the colour. One thing that was bittersweet about the 2 lipsticks were the size of the lipstick. They were a little smaller than what I expected it to be. But would be a perfect size for your makeup bag or purs. It also plumps up your lips a little without that weird tingling feeling.

Overall i love the 2 lipsticks. The pigmentation is on point. Very moisturising for a lipsticks. Definitely recommend it. Go check it out check it out check it out haha (sonny with a chance). They have various different shades of lipsticks and make different  kinds of lipstick/balm also

DIY || 3 Ingredients face mask ♡

Hey guys...
Victoria here,

Today I bring you another face mask and this one is my favourite face mask EVER. Its very easy and you'll only need 3 ingredients to make it. Its super great for your skin and leaves your face feeling really soft and much brighter. This mask is great for all skin types. Another thing I love about this mask is that it brightens your skin making your spot scars disappear. Ps. it kinda tastes nice too haha ♡

Little bit of info about the ingredients and the amazing things it does to your face ♡

Avocado -  avocados contain vitamin E which is great for improving your skins health. Avocados also moisturise your skin and can prevent dry skin when put directly on skin.

Honey - Honey is naturally antibacterial, so it's great for clearing up acne. Because its full of antioxidants, it is great for slowing down ageing. It is really moisturising and soothing, so it helps create a glow. Honey is clarifying because it opens up pores making them easy to unclog.

Lemon - Lemons are high in vitamin C and antioxidants and has lots of fruit acids and sugars that are great for acting as an exfoliant, blackhead remover, skin brightener and as a treatment for sunburn.

Ingredients/equipment:
- Juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 an avocado
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- knife
- fork
- teaspoon
- bowl or container




Now onto making the mask -



1. Cut your avocado in half and only use 1 half

2. Scoop your the avocado it a bowl and lightly mash

3. Squeeze half of the lemon into the bowl

4. Put 2 teaspoons of honey into the bowl and mix it up. Then you're finished.

5.. Put it onto your face for 10 minutes then rinse off with warm water

Barry M polishes Review

Hey people.....
Victoria here,

One of my lovely readers requested for me to do a review on my the 3 Barry M nail polishes I got. Barry M polishes have a wide range of collection, the polishes i got were from the Gelly collection and the clear polish was just from the normal collection.

Grapefruit:
This colour is a really pigmented colour although i have 2 coats they are very light coats and 1 heavy coat would do just fine. This colour last long and has a great shine. To make the polish last longer on your nails use a topcoat on top. 




Top/base coat and nail hardener 3 in 1:

This polish is a great base coat hardener and top coat. 
Makes the nail polish last way longer when its on

Prickly Pear:
 This polish definitely requires a 2 coats to make it opaque because 1 coat with definitely not make it opaque. This polish is long lasting especially when you have a good top coat on. The colour is a really nice lilac color great in the spring.

Chocolate Chip Vanilla Muffins

Hey people...
Victoria here,


FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD !

So i thought it was quite time i did a foody blogpost and chocolate chips in things seems to be my favourite type of baked good. And chocolate chip muffins/cupcakes seemed to fit right in. These is my favourite recipe for these muffins. I have tried various recipes for these muffins but this recipe seems to be by far my favourite so lets get to it.

REALLY SORRY FOR THE LOGO OF THE CAMERA APP THAT I USED 'RETRICA' (btw really good camera app great if you need a timer)

ADAPTED FROM:
Link: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/dessertsandcookies/r/Chocolate-Chip-Cupcake-Recipe.htm  for more information on these muffins

This recipe makes 24 large cupcakes and 36 small ones
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup milk
200g chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate. I used dark chocolate because it has a better flavour in cakes better than milk chocolate but which ever you choose its up to you.

Preparation:

1.Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C). 

2.With a whisk or mixer (i used a mixer because its a lot faster and easier), beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg being cracked in.

4. Stir in the vanilla

5. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture and milk to your egg,butter,sugar and vanilla mixture. Beat until a smooth,thick batter forms. DO NOT OVER MIX

6. Add your chocolate chips/chunks and stir in well so all parts of your batter get chocolate chips/chunks

7. Line your muffin tray with cupcake liners.

8. Spoon or ice-cream scoop your batter until 3/4 full. So basically a half but a little bit more

9. Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes until set and golden brown.


10. When your cakes are done insert a toothpick in the centre the tooth pick should come out clean. If melted chocolate comes out on the toothpick thats okay its just the chocolate chips that are melted but no batter should appear on the toothpick


11. If baked throughly places your cakes  on your cooling rack and allow to cool completely


Side note: I like to keep my cupcakes in the fridge for a bit until the chocolate chips have hardened because then theres a slight crunch to them lol.

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, or for longer in the freezer.

If you do make these cupcakes please share your recreations on twitter or instagram using the hashtag #vickybakes :)
