COLOR Match

Apparently I am a CoCo…” someone who likes extreme comfort,with relaxation at the front of my mind, no sofa or bed is free from a throw or cushion and no bath free from a scented candle” According to research commissioned by home furnishing brand Colour Match from Argos 75 % of the UK population worry more about impressing others than anything else when it comes to furnishing their home. Thus creating a home that they believe other people will love rather than a home that reflects their own tastes and personality.

The key findings from the survey found that;

·75 per cent of people are primarily concerned with what others think of their home

·56 per cent only opt for homewares that are ‘unadventurous’

·47 per cent furnish their home with the re-sell value in mind

·26 per cent people are distinctly unhappy with at least two rooms in their home

·43 per cent worry that adding too much of their favorite colour could be too ‘dominating’ in the home

So, I took their colour personality test to see which colours actually reflect the true me and I am happy to say it’s pretty much what I do choose anyway. Argos sent me some goodies (pictured above) from their Colour Match range…and even our dog blends in with them! As a Nester the colours suggested for me from the Colour Match range are Cream, Cafe Mocha and Chocolate.

DIY Glitter Polish

DIY-Glitter Polish

I am a huge sucker for glitter nail polishes. Sometimes, though, it can be frustrating when I have a specific color in mind and either can’t find it or it’s too expensive for me to even consider.

I was in a craft store the other day and stumbled across a gorgeous display of glitter. Seeing that they were pretty cheap, I bought a few tubes and spent the next hour experimenting. I’m so happy to report that the experiment was successful! I love how I can now customize my own glitter nail polish color for a low price and in just a few minutes.

So, I decided to share my method with you! Read on to learn how you can make your own glitter nail polish:

What you’ll need:

• 1 old or new bottle of clear nail polish (you can also use a suspension base, which prevents the glitter from sinking to the bottom)
• 1-2 tubes/jars of glitter
• 1 scrap piece of paper or Post-it note
• 1 toothpick

How to:

Step One

Create a funnel with the scrap piece of paper/Post-it note. Staple or tape it to help the paper maintain its form

Step Two

Using the paper funnel, pour a tiny amount of glitter into the bottle of nail polish.

Step Three

Using the toothpick, mix in the glitter.

Note: if you pour too much at once it might clog up and make it hard to stir.

Step Four

Add the cap back on to the polish, then shake the bottle vigorously until well-mixed. Then apply and admire your new customized glitter nail polish!
