MCBUSTED! ♥

Hey guys!
I hope you are all doing well! 
One month ago yesterday (3rd May 2014) I went to see McBusted at the LG Arena, Birmingham with one of my best friends Jess and one of her friends from college. I had already seen Mcfly back at Fusion Festival back in Sept 2013 which may i add they were amazing but I wasn't planning on going to this concert as I have never really been a big fan of both Mcfly or Busted... Wait to tell a lie I was a Busted fan back in the day and was devastated when they announced their split but my fangirl heart for Mcfly was never really there if i'm honest. When I first heard about this new super group that were forming I honestly didn't wasn't falling off my chair with excitement but when asked by Jess if I wanted to go I thought to myself "Why the hell not? I love concerts and it's another artist I can say I have seen!"

The beginning of the concert was hilarious they had a little video of James and Matt from Busted talking about the break-up of the band and how devastated they were and that it was a split second decision etc and after the interview section had finished they said their goodbyes and got in two cars and drove away... After a split second they were both back on the screen making back to the future references saying how they had to go back into the future to be with Mcfly and perform all together! They got into a delorean and zoomed down the street on the video and ended up on the stage in the same car floating down from above which was insane! The whole room started screaming and stamping their feet with excitement!
They sang a few songs and 1/2 way through they disappeared and appeared at the back of the area on a UFO/spaceship type stage! All lit up which changing colour for the next song including light up guitars and everything! AMAZING! After that they made their way back onto the main stage via the crowd which was brave in my opinion!


While they were making their way back to the stage there was another funny video which was one of many of the night! Honestly the video had people around me in stitches! They came back onto the stage one by one with the thunderbirds theme song playing over head, truly amazing! As well as the funny video between each change over the video being played behind then through the songs were amazing! Some had lyrics flashing on the screen but my favourite and i'm guessing many people's favourite was the emoji one, I couldn't stop laughing when i saw them haha!



The whole night i danced and sung as if I was a child again and I loved every second of it!

I'll never forget Dougie making the whole area chant do a back and forth of "pe" "nis" and wearing a horse head of a section of the show as well as a whole chocolate cake being thrown over Matt while wearing a wedding dress singing Crash The Wedding, HUGE balls being brought out by what look like security guards for the fans to bounce around and who can forget the three GIANT inflatable boobs at the end when they sang Year 3000 before they left the stage...




The concert was amazing, I am so glad I went along and saw them, they were amazing and i would honestly see them again to relive my childhood all over again haha!

Post Soon

Gradient Sunset Nail Tutorial ♥

Hey Guys! 
Many of you will not know this but i love doing my nails and experimenting with new designs and colours.
Recently i have been loving the gradient look and with it sort of being the summer time i thought it would be a great idea to do a little nail tutorial which you guys can do yourself or to your friends. There are many tutorials on YouTube which shows you how to add a palm tree or little birds onto this design but for me i just wanted it to be plain, simple and bright!
So i hope you enjoy my step by step picture tutorial to help you achieve this vibrant look!
I first started off with 3 beautiful colours. A red, yellow and bubblegum pink!
Now you can use any colours that your guys want but due to me watching the 'sunset' look i decided upon these.
The colours from left to right: ELF Smokin' Hot, NYC Lexington Yellow, ELF Gum Pink.
These colours really did blend well together creating the contract between the colours.
 The next thing you will be needing is a cosmetic make up wedge sponge, you can get these rather cheap if you get them from the right places. I got mine from ELF while on a little bit of a spending spree in the past and have never used them for makeup as ive always used a brush. You get 8 of them online for £1.50 from ELF which i feel is a bargain!
The next thing i did was apply these colours onto the sponge in stripes, starting with the yellow and then pink followed finally by the red it should look something like this 
Now you have your colours ready get your nail prepared for the colours with a base case! (For this mini tutorial im just going to used a fake nail so you can really see the end results) If you want to save some time paint the base before you start.
If your do end up using sheer colours i would add a base coat of white to enhance the colour. I however didn't do this as the colours i have very bold and do not need any help enhancing.
Time to apply the colours from the sponge into your nail! 
You're going to do this by placing the sponge on your nail directly and start to rock the sponge over your nail to allow the colour to transfer. Once you have done this it should look something like this! 
As you can see the colours have blended really well and you can fully see where one colour should start and end.
Next your going to allow this to full dry and then add a top coat to seal in the design! For this I used a matte topcoat.
or you could give the Sally Hansen super shine top coat if you're looking for that shiny nail look (or any other topcoat of your choice) ! 
Once applied it should look something like this (all adding a top coat will really do is hold your polish design for longer and blend the colours together more evenly! 
And that is it! 

Simple right? I told you but would be, even though the summer time isn't really the classic summer time here in England doesn't mean you nails can't be bright and colourful! 
I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial I hope to do more in the future for you guys if you liked them! 
Have a good day/night
 Take care x
