My Kukee Jewellery


The first time I heard about Kukee was on twitter and then I gradually saw it mentioned on many different blogs. After browsing their website I decided that I definitely needed to buy a few bits for myself!

One of my favourite things about Kukee was that it is SO CHEAP! both of these rings together only cost me £2.50 (what a bargin!)

The two items I decided to get were an over the knuckle ring (it was gold but i'll explain later on) and a gold cross ring which are both pictured below. The first thing I liked about the over the knuckle ring was the fact it was different as it didn't sit like normal rings and I had seen that many different bloggers had purchased one and I loved the look! As all of the other rings I where are gold I decided to get both of the rings in gold. The second ring I ordered was a cross ring as I just really liked it. 



(Left: over the knuckle ring. Right: cross ring.)


The picture above is how the rings look when they are being worn.

Now for the bad points...

Unfortunately, when I received the rings, the cross ring was actually completely broken and as it was the first time I have ordered from Kukee I was extremely disappointed. However, I contacted them and they replied straight away saying how sorry they were and they would send one out straight away so I received a brand new one the NEXT day! (Amazing customer service!).

As I know had both rings, I wore them both and only from about 2pm till 4pm and my fingers had turned completely green. I did expect this as it obviously isn't real gold but I didn't expect it to turn green so quick. Due to this, the inside of the cross ring is now a black colour (horrible) and the over the knuckle ring has gone silver (you can see this by the first picture at the top of the post). I won't wear things rings now as they look so cheap as the colour has come off. What a shame!

Let me know about your Kukee experience!

Have a brilliant day!

Half and half nails!

I thought i'd do my first ever post on one of my favourites things to do: paint my nails! For this look I used:

Barry M nail varnish- blueberry
Barry M nail varnish - berry
Sellotape

I started off by painting one side of my nails blue using the blueberry nail polish, once this was dry, I put little bits of Sellotape on the blue sides so even if I made the purple a bit messy it would come off. Once the purple was dry I took off the Sellotape and this was the final look! I'm super happy about how it turned out (it's looks better in real life).

Have you tried this look? Let me know by commenting!

Have a great day :)
Love Laura x

The Lucky One

The book I've been hooked on recently has been 'The Lucky one' by Nicholas Sparks. As I had never read a book by Nicholas Sparks before I was a bit sceptical but I have been pleasantly surprised!



At the beginning of the book I found it to be a bit slow but as I got further and further in I realised how much of a good book it actually is! The film has recently come out at the cinema and I cannot wait to see it because the main character in the book 'Logan' is played by Zac Efron who is rather yummy!

Welcome Post!

Hello everyone! 
Okay, so I'm extremely new to this so it might take me a while to get used to how to work everything haha! I thought i'd give anyone reading this a bit of information about myself and about what this blog will be about. My name is Laura and I'm 18 years of age. I'm hoping to go to university in September and study criminology and forensics. I enjoy many things but I love reading, playing the piano and I'm extremely into fashion and beauty. This blog will consist of things to do with fashion and beauty but also what adventures I get up to in everyday life. Hope you enjoy! ox
