Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys. Happy Tuesday . How has your week been ? Back at work already or only from today / next week ?? I have a meeting at work on Friday but I'll only be back back at work from next week. My good friend Siobhan convinced me to do the whole #52weeknailchallenge this year (we did the last 4 themes together last year December ) and I decided to do a post on the current products I'm loving for doing my nails. These will include the basics... cuticle oil , base coat , top coat , polish remover and hand creams and hand sanitizers.   So let me jump into my current favourites and why I love them : Sorbet Condition Nail Polish Remover with Lavender Oil Acetone I have mentioned my love for this nail polish remover before ... but this one has to be my favourite. The scent isn't that strong ( which I did find with the more floral ones in the range) yet it removes polish really quickly without drying out your nails too much. I really love the pump bottle on it too . This m...

Hi guys ! Hope you had an amazing weekend ! I was so glad about the little cooler weather yesterday, seriously the heatwave wasn't the most fun thing ever.  So since most of you been back at work since last week, I decided to make a special post about some gorgeous goodies for your hands and nails this week to get you back in the work spirit . (Actually who am I kidding no one wants to be back. )  I know most of you can't wear crazy bold colours to work, so I've put together some of my favourite nude nail polishes for you . All of these are amazing formula wise, and are all my my personal favourite for work too.  All these polishes has a pretty decent formula, and I used two coats of all the polishes shown below. (Except on the Seche colour one, that was a 1coater)  So here's my 12 favourite nude polishes - 1) Loreal Rose Bagatelle  A gorgeous rose pink colour . I love the wide brush and how perfectly the colour suits me. 2) OPI My Vampire is Buff ...

Hi guys ! Wow really cant believe its already going to be Christmas this week . Seriously where has the year gone ??

Hi guys ! So glad it's finally Friday, been a very busy week. I hope everyone is wearing black in support for Rape victims. I sure am doing my part for this cause. It's horrible that any woman has to go through that in her lifetime. ♥ Today I'm showing you a special mani I wore a few weeks back. For this mani I used China Glaze Below Deck, and the accent nail was Seche Colour Simplicity and I stamped with Seche Colour Enamored and Portobello using an Essence stamping plate. I just loved this mani to bits, and so did everyone who attended my little guy's birthday party. So first off let me share the design that inspired this mani - And then the gorgeous mani - The colours are just gorgeous and easy to wear. China Glaze Below Deck is the most gorgeous colour for work and play , as it can easily be dressed up or down ♥ I'm so glad I got this colour for myself as a Christmas Prezzie. Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend ??

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a great weekend ! Mine sure was !! Just wayyyy to short for my liking . Today I'm showing you my version of Cupid's Revenge. This theme had me a little stumped , had no idea exactly what I wanted to do. Then my ex suggested this design. The moment you lose the person you love ( Cupid's revenge ) you feel like your heart doesn't beat anymore ! And so this design was born . ♥ For this design, I used two coats of China Glaze Stone Cold ( a gorgeous matte grey ! ) and drew the heart beat line design using my Cina Nail Art pen in white . For the heart I free handed the cute heart, with Seche Colour Snapdragon ♥ I used Seche Vite for Top Coat . Again , remember to check out the other two lovely ladies that's also doing this challenge designs. I'm always AMAZED by their designs ♥ Erin - LovelyLacqueredLife Elena - EcklipsedByColor

Will show you guys soon which ones I'm getting , so excited ! And it's Wednesday, been a quiet start to my week, but back at work today and working full steam ahead ! Today I'm showing you another great nail polish from Seche .. This one is called Iconic. It's a lovely deep burgundy/ red shade with the most subtle gorgeous sparkle . I just LOVE red nail polishes like these. And it's a one coater again ♥ Below are the photos of Iconic - (I put some cuticle on just before taking photos , so sorry for the shiny cuticles in some photos ) Isn't this shade just to die for ? So far this is one of my favourites from the Seche Colour range , this range is really super impressive with drying time, as well as quality ! And another friendly reminder, the ...

Hi guys ! It's finally weekend ! This week has been a drag , really.. feels like it should have been Saturday morning today... :) Today I'm showing you guys another of the Seche Colour polishes. This one is called Enamored, and is a pink-ish brown. I have to say, this colour is really a chameleon , in different lighting, you can even see some reddish shades too. This was really a fantastic colour, again , a one coater, and dried super fast . I just love this shade, will be perfect for winter time too. And I jazzed it up a bit with a Fimo Nail Art butterfly. I have to say, I am really starting to love the fimo, it can add a little something extra to your mani without even trying so hard ! See how versatile this colour is ? I love the many hidden shades in this little bottle . ♥ Quite magical... And the butterfly just add such a delicate touch to the mani too. The above shown Fimo wheel is full of different cute butterflies. ♥ Hope everyone will have a fan...

And let me tell you, these nail polishes works fantastic ! The first colour I will be showing you today, is Snapdragon, a bright pink creme nail polish. I JUST L♥ve this colour, so bright and vibrant, and perfect for summer ! These colours are ALL 1 coaters (man who just doesn't love one coat polishes !!) and dries super fast ! You can be out the door in no time without smudged nails ! How awesome is that ? I used one coat of Seche Snapdragon in the photos below- Isn't this just such a fantastic colour ?
