Retro Pastel Nails - Tutorial

Hello everyone,
Thought I'd show you how to achieve this really pretty Retro Pastel Nails! They're all Ciaté mini colours since I find the brushes easy to use, especially when painting a section of the nails!

First I applied a base coat (Lori Greiner's Orly rubberised base coat - I have reviewed this so go have a peak at that!) Then I applied only one coat of Ciaté's Fit For A Queen, I only did one coat since it's really pigmented anyway and you're only going to see a thin line of the silver, plus it saves a lot more time!

When the silver is bone dry, I then used thin nail tape to section up the nail, after that I painted the desired sections with each colour. This was a bit tricky, don't worry about getting the paint on your skin as you can just clean it up when it's all done!

Paint two coats of the varnish and once it is fully dry slowly and carefully peel off all the tape. Then apply the top coat, I used Nails Inc Kensington Caviar topcoat. Once that's dry, tidy around the nails et voila! To tidy around the nails I used Leighton Denny's Precision Corrector which comes with a lovely little brush for extra help!! This is a really good product and you don't have to keep buying the nibs for nail corrector pens!

The nail colours from Ciaté are;
Pink - Hoopla
Green - Apple & Custard
Blue - Chinchilla
Yellow - Loop The Loop

Hope you like! Let me know if you recreate and tweet me your recreations!

Yummy Homemade Salted Caramel Brownies

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all have a wonderful Sunday! My friend recommended the recipe to me so I thought I'd give it a whirl! It's super yummy and I definitely recommend it!!

The ingredients are;

• 200g unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing the tray)
• 200g plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
• 125g light muscovado sugar
• 125g caster sugar
• 4 medium free-range eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1tbs cocoa powder
• 125g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes
• 126g bag of Cadbury's Nibbles (or any chocolate caramel sweets)

Now how to create these beauties!

• First, preheat the oven to 170°C/fan 150°C and grease you tray, they recommend using a 20cm/20cm tray but I just used what I had, which was about 28cm/18cm and it was fine!
• Melt your chocolate and butter in a microwave until fully heated, do 30 second intervals so you don't burn the chocolate. Then allow the cool.

• In a large mixing bowl throw in the eggs, sugars and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric whisk until blended and forms a nice light colour.

• Then add the melted chocolate to the mixture and again whisk away.
• After that, sift in the flour and cocoa powder and mix it in. It should create quite a thick mixture.
• Once you have achieved this, fold in the sea salt.

• Chop up half of the Caramel Nibbles and mix them in. Have a few to snack on whilst you go, why not!

• Pour the mixture into the tray and then press the whole nibbles into the top of the mixture.

• Pop it into the oven for about 25-30 minutes. When you take it out, make sure the top is firm, don't worry about it being gooey inside as it will solidify as it sets! Leave to cool for about 20 minutes then tuck in!! Have it will a nice cuppa or some ice-cream and dust it with some icing sugar!

Enjoy!! Let me know how you find them!

Lots of love,

Alice xx
