Bash The Trend - Ugly Phone Cases


Phone cases have become a new accessory that makes your phone look, cute, sexy, stylish or just plain ugly. When your case is bigger than your actual phone you know you have a serious problem. 

By ugly cases, I mean those impractical, plastic phone costumes. 


Cases are getting so popular these days that their original use to protect your phone, comes second place to how cool you phone can be. Its like dressing up your dog, you phone doesn't get to choose what it wear and in some cases if they could talk they'll say, "wtf is this?!" 


I've come to the conclusion that ugly cases are like Pugs, they are so ugly that sometimes it makes them cute. I also have to bash the fact that most of these ugly cases take up over half the room in your handbag and don't even think about trying to fit them in your pocket. It's seriously just so extra. 


Even brands have jumped on this ugly case band wagon such as Moschino's french fry case and Victoria Secret's pineapple case and finally Disney, the biggest culprit of them all! 







Now I know your going to think I'm a hypocrite now, but i've made some very "unique" choices when it comes down to my phone cases.  From a Hello Kitty with ears to a hot pink glittery case where all the glitter feel off within a few days, but you live and learn right? 



My personal collection of ugly phone cases:

My current case:

The trend of ugly cases doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon so I guess for now, you might as well buy the most disgusting way to over the top case while the trend is still around!


Whats your most embarrassing phone case? xx

The 12 Nail Polishes Of Christmas

 13 days until Christmas 





Christmas is a time of magic and sparkle. From dressing up for christmas parties, to having a cozy nights in watching christmas movies. The best way to dress up any outfit is through nail polish, a simple black dress can be transformed into a christmas classic with some glistening gold nails. So I'd thought i'd give you a few simple ideas to make you nails party ready! And of course there's 12 nail polishes because I like to play on words like that ;) 

1 Polish Wonders 


Sharon- Andrea Fullerton 

Paired with a white coat or black jumper, a simple grey can really add a classy touch to an outfit. It also adds a subtle winter wonderland feel without being to in your face christmasy. 

Jingle Bells- Barry M 

Talking about in your face christmasy, even the name of this nail polish is OTT christmas, with a black dress this polish will glisten and sparkle. The occasion flecks of red really make this polish stand out. 


Crush- Barry M 

A classic all red nail is always a christmas favorite. This matt nail polish will stand out beautifully against a cream cardigan or even go with your cringe christmas jumper. 

Frozen 


Bottom Coat: Office - American Apparel 
Top Coat: Aqua Glitter - Barry M 

A true Elsa nail polish look for you Frozen fans! I know most of you wont have a blue dress made out of ice hanging in your wardrobe but don't worry, these nails will add a glistening winter touch to an all white or black outfit. 



Tinsel Town 


Bottom Coat: Don't Pretzel My Buttons- OPI
Top Coat: Sugar Crystals- Maybelline 

Simple, classy and a touch of sparkle, who wouldn't love this combination? Anything from a leopard print skirt to a onesie this colour will literally go with anything and give you a gorgeous twinkle when they catch the light. 


New Years Eve 


Purple: Ice Queen - Maybelline 
Silver- Light Up - Maybelline

Although these are christmas nails, I think this combination will be a perfect New Years look. The bright purple will contrast against the silver and add a real sense of party to go with your new outfit. 

Chocolate Truffle 


Gold: Oil Slick- Accessorize
Brown: Wooden Shoe Like To Know - OPI

Everyone loves a chocolatey treat during the holiday, even your nails. If you want to be christmasy without too much sparkle or red then this look is perfect for you. Against white or cream will give you a cozy winter look. 


Candy Cane Lane 


Bottom Coat: Crush- Barry M 
Top Coat: Light Up- Maybelline

Christmas wouldn't be christmas without a candy cane, too sugary and sweet but so pepperminty and delicious. Your nails will bring the party to any gathering, paired with red the silver will shine against both the nails and your outfit. 


Classic Christmas 


Gold: Gold Flash- American Apparel 
Red: Crush - Barry M 

You can never go wrong with the classic christmas colours red and gold. The red matt colour will be a subtle touch but paired with a gorgeous gold you'll be ready to collect a kiss from under the mistletoe. Paired with black or any other dark colour will really make them stand out. 


Hope you are all up to date with your christmas shopping and decorating. Which nails are your favorite? xx
