Orange Tribal Print Nails

Everyone and their dog knows that I love to do nail art. It is evident in my nail art posts and new blog series called nail it. I also showcase my colourful nails on instagram, but when I do showcase my nails, I get the same questions over and over again "how do you do them" "They look tricky, I could never do that". In reality they aren't hard and usually take me 15 minuets to do. To prove to you how simple nail art can be, I have created a step by step post on how to create a tribal nail design, which is one of my personal favourites. Let me know what you think!

DIY Lipbalm


Hey there!
I'm Maxine from Sugar 'n' Chic and I'm here to share a huge beauty secret with you! It's quick, easy and perfect for everyone!

I know in my bag a beauty staple has to be either a lip balm or moisturizing lip tint! And I thought how great would it be to create your own custom lip balm/tint! So after researching for a while I decided on a super easy and great way to make your own lip balm from what you already have at home. So are you ready to make the most perfect lip tint ever! Lets get started.
















And voila! Your lip balm is done. Store it in a cute jar, put a ribbon on it and it makes a perfect gift! If you liked this DIY I'd love to have you take a peek at my blog www.sugarnchic.blogspot.com where you can find even more doable DIYs. If you have any questions, don't be a stranger! Feel free to comment or email me any of your questions or concerns! Let me know how your lip tints turn out, I'd love to know! xx

Wednesday Wishlist: Spring Fling by Cherry!



Wearing bright, pastel colours really puts you into a good mood and I'm loving all of the clothing that's currently in stock. 

This spring/summer I'm aiming to branch out a bit and really be creative with my wardrobe. I'm terribly sick of wearing jeans all of the time and seem to have got stuck in a bit of a clothing rut. I pretty much adore the polka dot pleat dress I've picked - it's like nothing I've seen online yet, I think it's cheerful and pretty and perfect for a summer's day or even a special occasion teamed with some nude heels. Gorgeous!

Nude shades are really popular at the moment and it's a great way to ease yourself in to spring colours. While it might be getting warmer there is the odd day that's a bit chilly so I always opt for some spring knitwear that you can just throw on casually. Will you be wearing nude and pastel shades this year?
