Mini Birthday Haul

So after lots of you said yes yes yes to me doing a birthday haul type post - here it is!
 Just thought I'd share of my photos from Saturday and a couple of the presents I was lucky enough to receive - I truly do have such incredible people around me who made my day so special!
I turned up to my friend's house to see this! Wow! Everyone knows I am a crazy Disney lover and my friends seriously knew what would make me smile! 
Banner, balloons and party food (including princess cupcakes!) - if I hadn't already done my make-up I really would have let the tears flow!
This was bought into me at midnight by my lovely boyfriend! He knew that I'd seen this cake ages ago in Tesco and really wanted it - Finest Red Velvet - and check out those candles - boy did good! YUM!
 Look how cute this is! I love this Micky & Minnie ornament so much - just got to decided where to put it now!
Birthday treat time! Wahoooo I got my nails done! I've actually hated not having them done the past few weeks - having them just make me feel 200% better about myself and so much more glamorous, especially for my night out!
 I got this gorgeous brown/taupe type colour , I really fancied a neutral shade this time round, I know I'm meant to be on a spending ban but I think this is one luxury I can't give up just yet!
Beauty addict alert! Look what I got from my boyfriend - yup... 3 gorgeous Mac lipsticks! All are shades I have wanted for ages - Impassioned, Candy Yum-Yum & Girl About Town. All pink and all gorgeous, I am obsessed! And of course there will be reviews and swatches up soon! (How could I not?!)
 By the name of my blog you may have noticed I'm a bit of a Wizard Of Oz fangirl! (And this birthday I recieved lots of W.O.O. themed presents aswell as Disney - people just know me so well!) My Mum got us tickets to see Wicked this year so this was a perfect present from her! I LOVE musicals and cannot wait to see this, it's been on my to-do list for years!
 I am an obsessive DVD hoarder - I love films! These are both movies I had seen before and loved - one was from my little brother and the other my boyfriend! These are both must-see's I love them and so glad I can watch them again whenever I want now!
I did have one of these until about a month ago- when I smashed it open to pay for my deposit for Disneyworld! 
So what a perfect present! I will be filling this up to the brim and smashing it open just before I go away - perfect way to save save save!
 Since moving out I have been loving getting bits an bobs for my flat! This is the cutest timer for the kitchen! Cath Kidston with the little pup on the top, adorable!
This was such a special present from my parents! Limited edition framed cells from the movie The Wizard Of Oz - only 700 of these were ever made and I am lucky enough to have one of them! The cells I received are brilliant aswell - such an exciting and personal present.

That's just a few of the presents I got - I had such a fab day and evening!  A great way to start my year of being 24!
If you want to see more then let me know as I have lots of other things to share but if you don't like this sort of post then let me know aswell :)

Nails Of The Week : Pretty, Girly, Glam!

Like I said a couple of weeks ago, I want to share with you guys my nail designs everytime I go and get them re-done!
I get gel extensions with shellac colours and I love having the done - I feel messy and bare without them and love not having to worry about chipped nail varnish - one of my pet hates on myself! 
Also where I have tiny child-like hands they make me feel a little more like an adult!
I know you may all have seen these already on wither twitter or instagram, as obviously I can't keep off them, but I thought I'd carry on with what I set out to do and share them with you!
This fortnight I went for a really girly and glam look. The ones I had before were quite bold so this time I wanted something really elegant and pretty.
I've gone for a gorgeous baby pink which is called Cakepop... which makes me like it even more and some fab silver glitter (who doesn't love glitter, especially at this time of year!).
I love having more than one colour on my nails and instead of just the ring finger trend I thought I'd have my thumb a bit different too!

If you want to recreate this look at home I'd recommend Barry M's Strawberry Ice Cream polish along side the Limited Edition Christmas glitter polish from Barry M at Boots which I've also done a post about - use it over the top of a silver polish and bob's your uncle, done!
What do you guys think? Do you get your nails done or do you do them yourself? 
I'm already planning my next set.... Christmas themed I think!

Nails Of The Week : Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

Just a quick post today and maybe the start of a new series for me!
 I get my nails done by one of my lovely friendsevery few weeks and I thought it was about time I started sharing them with you (as I always love them!)
So now, each time I get my nails done I will try and upload and share them with you!
This week I decided I wanted a Wizard Of Oz theme as well....I am a bit of a fan (can you tell?)! So after looking into a few themes I decided red glitter would be a must! Hello ruby slippers!
So what else to have with it? The socks of the Wicked Witch Of The East of course! 
I always have gel nail extensions and the colours are always shellac - perfect for a glamorous and flawless look!

What do you think? Any ideas for my next look? Only a few more weeks and it will be time for Christmas nails!
