After all that deliberation over whether to post my last post or not, I decided to do a kind of follow up post.

Why? Well, because I didn't want to come across as just whiny and irritating, I wanted my contribution to be useful as well.

Mostly because I didn't want it to be a lot of venting - I want it to be useful as well. I originally planned for this to be one post, but by the time I had gotten through my first section, I was already at 3000 words, so I thought I had better divide it into 3 parts! These three parts are going to be covering:

Finding Your Correct Bra Size

Shopping For The Non-Mainstream Bra Size

Tips For Dealing With Un-'Ideally' Shaped/Sized Boobs

Got it? Everybody excited? Then lets do this!!

Finding Your Correct Bra Size
Although this may sound a little silly and even if you are 120% sure you know your bra size, I highly encourage you to do this anyway. It's gonna take you 10ish minutes and it is going to really help you out. Especially if you have big boobs. And I'm talking anybody that's a D cup or bigger. But even if you're smaller than a D cup - don't skip this section! Because I reckon about 80% of you are going to be surprised at the size you find. Do you know why I think that? It's because approximately 80% of women are in the wrong sized bra. Imagine that! 80%. That's ridiculous. So let's get on to changing that number. :)

Right. First, you are going to need to ditch your shirt and get on your best fitting bra. Even, if you know it doesn't fit perfectly, that's okay - we'll deal with this is a minute. Next, grab yourself a tape measure and go stand in front of a mirror. Doing this in front of a mirror makes it way easier to check that the tape measure is level. Or alternatively, get a friend to do the measuring - but really, it's pretty much just as easy to do it yourself with a mirror for guidance. I'm going to break this down into 4 parts, the band size, the cup size, troubleshooting for bra shopping and the different bra styles available.

And before I start, I'm going to be working in UK sizes, because it's easier to do when working out your own size (you'll see why in a minute). If you have no idea of the conversions between UK and US and Australian and other sizes, then you're in luck because I've made you a nice table. :)


Bows and Flowers Nail Art

Hi everyone!

These nails, along with my Captain America ones, are probably my favourite designs I've done in the last couple of months. Halfway through the creation of these I did feel that they were going to look too much like my Cath Kidston ones, but in the end they didn't, which was nice.



The flowers were created using brushes and I followed a tutorial by @sloteazzy on instagram. You should definitely check out her account - she does heaps of tutorials that are so easy to follow and look fabulous! And, while you're at it, come and follow me (@daniwilliams__) for nails, food, selfies and other excerpts from my life.

Also, the flowers are a lot less complicated than they look. :)

Nail Art Inspired By: Avengers Assemble - Captain America

Hi lovelies,

So, I disappeared again.... The reason this time is even sillier than normal (and it's a little sad that I have a 'usual' reason for my occasional and completely unexplained absences but let's move on). Basically, I got stuck writing one post and so just hid from it. Which also included hiding from every other potential post I could have written in the meantime, while I struggled with this particular post.

Anyway, today I thought I'd post one of my favourite nail designs that I've done in a long time. This is my second contribution to my Avengers Assemble collection and yes, I am going to do all of them and no, I have no clue what I'm going to do for some of them (Hulk? Hawkeye?).

Luckily, the Captain was actually fairly easy to translate into nail art, thanks to the simple design of his shield and uniform and I am really proud of them.
