Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday. How was your Monday ?? Did you have a nice weekend ?  Today I will be sharing my first Breast Cancer Awareness mani with you guys - as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As always PinkDrive has a few great options on their site to donate. They have such amazing brooches this year you can buy to support the cause - and let's be real who can't do with a pretty brooch for a great cause ??  As I always try to donate to Breast Cancer Awareness causes  , I did a matching mani to show my support. There is also quiet a few brands that bring out a "PINK" version of products and donate a percentage to Breast Cancer Awareness causes, if you can try and support them.  If you would like some more info on PinkDrive , I'm including all their social media links : http://www.pinkdrive.co.za https://www.facebook.com/ ThePinkDrive So onto my first Breast Cancer Awareness mani for 2016 -  For this mani I used : W...

Hi guys ! Happy November. I know I know... I've been missing most of the month ... Work and personal stuff just kept me so busy I hardly had time to blog ... But luckily I'm back now... Yeah ! As you know , each year as with the Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns , I support the Movember campaigns too. The one I personally support is -   https://za.movember.com/  . You can make a donation to a friend or team , or to the cause in general ( Like I do ) The website also gives more details so I won't go to much into that . So as always, after I make my donation, I do a mani in support of the cause too. This year I used some nail vinyls from  BecauseIShop  - she has a little Movember set that's perfect for any Movember mani . These are pretty easy to use - you polish your nails , wait about 10 / 15 minutes . Gently peel of the nail vinyl... Place on top of your nail . Paint over in a different colour and voila ! Easy peasy nail art. I have to admit - I did ...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! Hope you had a great weekend . Today I'm sharing a fun and super easy Breast Cancer Awareness mani with you using two Catrice polishes. This look is SUPER easy, so I included a little tutorial at the end of the post.

I'm so aNude is a polish from my own collection ) So onto the nail look - And the tutorial.

  Hi guys ! Hope you had a great weekend ! As you all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month , and as part of this , Catrice Cosmetics would like to cheer survivors and support the fighters.  I was asked to come up with a fun pink inspired look. I will show the look at the end but I'm also giving a mini-review about each product and a little give-away in the end too ! Catrice Liquid Metal Eyeshadow Mauves Like Jagger This is a stunning metallic eyeshadow colour , and really gives a liquid like effect. I love how the eyeshadow is shaped too with little "waves" in the eyeshadow. I used this on the centre of my eye in the make-up look. Catrice Better Than False Lashes Ultra Black Mascara One word - WOW ! I love the volume this mascara gives your lashes .. But the best part for me personally is this has staying power. I do tend to "rub" my eyes through the day, and this mascara stayed in place. I even had to work to take it off at nigh...

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is as glad as I am that it's Friday ! For those of you who might not know, the beauty community lost one of it's most treasured members on Tuesday morning ... Talia Joy Castellano .  Talia was a beautiful thirteen year old girl who was battling two horrible forms of cancer, neuroblastoma and preleukemia. She was also a supremely talented make up and nail artist.  You might have seen her amazing appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show , where she was also made an honorary Cover Girl! The last mani she posted on Instagram was a mint green mani , and a bunch of bloggers decided to dedicate this Friday to her,  and wear a mint green or green mani in Honor of Talia Joy. So here is my mint green mani to remember the wonderful Talia Joy - For this mani I used two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Green Tea . It's really a gorgeous light mint green colour . I am really starting to love mint green colours now, I pi...
