Prom time!

So one thing i've been looking forward to throughout the whole of my high school career is of course my high school prom!

Of course living in england means that the prom was not so extravagant and that some people didn't bother making such a big fuss about it. I've heard stories about dozens of limo's turning up and helicopters and girls getting surgery especially for prom but not at ours! It was just simple, in a beautiful park and we arrived gracefully in a 7 seater Mazda car which belonged to my friend's dad.

It may not be your cup of tea but I really enjoyed myself.

I did a dip dye type of nail pattern for my prom because my dress had a repeat pattern so i needed something simple to match it.

I love this type of nail art because in my opinion it does not take too long to do and looks great (if you do it right). You use a little sponge to put the pattern on and the trick to it is to not use too much pressure or polish. I usually break off a little piece of foundation sponge then hold it with tweezers. You may find another way that works better for you.

I always finish it off by putting glittery polish just at the tip of my nails, i just think it looks nice this way. Also i use two colours that are similar to each other so it fades in well, so a light colour and a dark colour. I probably didn't explain that well so for example in the picture i sponged on grey polish first then i did black on top and it faded in nicely. :)
