metallic temporary tattoos (they're all the rage apparently)

temporary tattoos // £1.98 (for one sheet but currently on 3 for 2. i am wearing sheets G, H and I)
rings // 99p

what do you do when you're broke and want to stay in the loop? ebay. duh

temporary tattoos are probably my favourite fashion fad in a while, mainly because my level of laziness is so high that i can never be bothered to wear jewellery (also rings get really annoying when i'm trying to wash my hands, just me?). so tattoos are a convenient replacement, not only do they give my outfits an extra layer of cute but you also get the novelty of applying them and for a few brief seconds you can pretend you're nine years old again and not in crippling student debt. perfect

one little complaint tho: some brands think that it's okay to charge a tenner for a sheet of images printed on water-permeable paper?? like what's the deal with that??
i bought a set from regal rose, which was £6 for one sheet the size of the palm of my hand like great do i have couture temporary tattoos now or what? it doesn't make much difference if they're all going to wash off within a few days however much you pay for them so overall i'm just a lil confused.

the top is from brandy melville and the nail polish is opi's my vampire is buff (sloppy application is my own).

  1. I love the look of these! Bet they look so great with bohemian styled looks! I think about getting them soon too, but yeah the price some websites charge for those is really unreasonable. Great photos though! Thank you for sharing :)

  3. Love all the tattoos you chose! We've definitely had a lot of those here, and I love that you don't have to worry about losing your jewelry or having it get caught in hair.

  4. These looks awesome! I've always seen them in store but never buyed - mainly because I agree $10 is a bit steep but it's good to know their is an alternative

  17. I got some temporary tattoo's in two subscription boxes this month but haven't touched them at all. They look lovely on you, so you've actually inspired me to dig them out and give them a go. I know exactly what you mean about them being so expensive, I couldn't believe the price when I saw them?! Great post and lovely photos x

  20. Top + metallic tats = gorgeous. I love them! What happens when you try to wash them off?? I'm yet to find any you can easily remove without scrubbing so hard you leave yourself looking like a lobster!

  22. I'm kind of obsessed with wearing these tattoos at the moment! Especially for someone like me who can't commit to a single real tattoo design (one day I swear it will happen!). By the way your nails are perfection <3

  28. These look really cool! They are indeed a great replacement for jewelry. I'm always too lazy to put on jewelry but I would take time to stick tattoos on my skin haha
