Exploring Nails and Rings

Since this months theme is Exploration i thought i would make a post on exploring a few minor parts of fashion so you can stand out and hopefully this will influence you to step out of your normal drab fashion habits and explore something new! I picked two things to focus on today which are your nails and bling!

Nail Care
Instead of picking at your nails and biting them when you're bored, start taking pride in your nails. Here are some quick tips to keep your nails healthy and strong!

• Moisturise your hands often including your cuticles which will stop them from cracking and peeling
• Do not pull at hangnails (those annoying little bits of skin at the sides of your nail), instead gently cut them away as not to rip the cuticle. 
• Eat foods rich in Vitamin A such as apricots, broccoli, carrots and cheese. Drink a lot of fresh juice and water to keep your nails hydrated and prevent them from becoming brittle and dry. 
• Put nail hardener on your nails. It's just like a clear nail polish except it helps prevent your nails breaking. With your nails breaking less, your nails will grow longer. 

Once your nails are healthy and strong, you can shape them! Personally, at the moment I'm loving almond shaped nails as they elongate your hands and make you look feisty!



Once shaped you can apply colour! Here are some nail trends I'm loving at the moment

ALEXA CHUNG EYES


PLAIN BLACK


HEARTS




PASTELS


Accesorise; you can never have too much bling
At the moment double stacked rings and layering necklaces is right on trend, but a lot of people are too scared to try it as it seems a bit too out there. Be confident in what you wear and if wearing lots of rings and necklaces makes you feel good; wear them! Explore different ways of layering your necklaces to find something that is perfect!

This is @_belindaliana_ rocking this trend as daring to be different. Her layering of necklaces is eye catching against her plain tee and her rings are absolutely gorgeous. Quite a few of these pieces are from http://www.lovisa.com.au/. It has a lot of incredibly cheap jewellery and they have some really neat rings and necklaces.
Stay away from lots of chunky necklaces and instead use lots of fine necklaces with dainty little charms. You can find tons of these at etsy https://www.etsy.com/market/layered_necklace. The likes of Kate Moss and Kate Hudson and many more have already latched onto this rapidly growing trend.
  



Hope you guys enjoyed and remember to explore new trends and even look through your mums old jewellery and you never know, you might just find the perfect statement piece!
