Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How has your week been ? Mine has been crazy busy - but luckily I have a few posts lined up for you guys this week.  Today I will be sharing Part 1 of my Lush Christmas goodies ( I placed an online order when they launched last week Thursday so those goodies I will be reviewing later this week ) Today the Lush Christmas range will be in store in South Africa - and I thought I'd share my thoughts on the goodies I was sent (Part 1) and do a second part once my order arrives. Again - online it sold out pretty quickly - but no fear Lushies - the online store will be restocked a few times leading up to Christmas. Which is always awesome news. And if you are lucky enough to be close to a Lush store and smell all the lovely Christmas goodies yourself you are in for a huge treat.  So let's jump into part 1 : Once Upon A Time Body Lotion R295 225g   Again - as I mentioned with the Halloween goodies - I'm a sucker for amazing Citrus scents - and t...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . Anyone else super excited for tomorrow to be Christmas ? I know I am . This time of year is seriously my favourite time of year, just relaxing and spending time with family.  As I mentioned, I'm a little bit behind with the N.A.I.L  ... But I was going through my nail art goodies and saw these cute snowflakes nail art stickers with some sparkle in them and knew instantly they were perfect for today's prompt . I was lucky enough to get an awesome press pack from Essence last week - and one of the first polishes I wanted to try was The Essence No Make - Up Look polish in Powdery Rose. First I need to rave about this polish on it's own. I LOVE this polish. It does dry matte ... But boy oh boy this is a perfect no fuss nail polish. I wore this for 3 days before I did the nail art and had no chips. That's MAJOURLY impressive for a polish that I didn't use top coat on.  So onto the nails -  For this look I used : Essence No ...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! Hope you had a great weekend. I know I'm a little behind on the Nail Art ideas Link up this week ... Eeeck I'm enjoying the holiday time way to much. But I promise to catch up soon. This theme was Wrapping All The Presents . I decided to dress up all my nails in purple "wrapping paper" , and use a cute little red and green striped bow to top off the look. So onto the nails - For this look I used : China Glaze Get Outta My Space (The base colour - visible as the ribbon on the presents) China Glaze Electra Magenta Essence Stripe Tape Ribbon Nail Art Stickers Who's excited as I am that Christmas is only a few days away ? What will you be wearing on your nails ?

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. I'm in such a holiday mood since being on leave I totally forgot to post ... Oops ! I still have some awesome posts lined up to share with you guys this year still. I'm a lot more active over on  Instagram  - so feel free to follow me there to see what I'm up too.  Last year I bought a few awesome  NailCandi  nail charms, and I totally forgot about them . When I went through my nail art box the other day I discovered them and decided they are way to pretty to not use. I decided to use the Christmas stocking for this mani.  I also ordered some NailCandi Liquid Palisade and couldn't wait to start using it. ( I used it around the white nail to do the pattern with the green glitter polish - it made clean-up SUPER easy .. just peel off and no struggling to remove the odd glitter pieces ) So onto the nails - For this mani I used : China Glaze Merry Berry ( the red polish ) China Glaze Winter Holly ( The green glitter p...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . Anyone else finishing up work this week ? I am , and I really can't wait to just relax . My awesome friend Voni from  ForTheLoveofNailArt  took over the Nail Art Ideas Link Up, and of course it being December AND having a little more free time, I decided to join in the fun. And of course Voni did ask me nicely on Instagram ... ;)  The first prompt is a Pink Christmas. I was inspired by  THIS  photo I saw on Instagram of a Pink Christmas  Glittr  did and knew I had to re-create it. So onto my nails - For this mani I used : OPI If You Moust You Moust Essence Wild White Ways OPI Servin' Up The Sparkle China Glaze Glistening Snow Silver Star Hope you have an awesome week ! Next week's theme is Wrapping Up The Presents ... Exciting !

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday ! And happy 1st of December . The Christmas season is really my favourite time of year, spending some extra time with family and friends, and rewinding after a crazy year. A little while ago Essence released the most epic Merry Berry Limited Edition collection. As always with ANY Essence Limited Edition - the goodies are AMAZING ! I got myself the highlighter, hair fragrance , eyeshadow and this gorgeous polish from the range {as seen on my Instagram photo} . If there is ANYTHING in this collection that caught your eye - run and snag it up before it's all gone.  I fell in love the minute I saw a swatch of this online and knew this was a pinkish / purple I needed.  First off - How GORGEOUS is the polish bottle. It looks so elegant and classy . The polish is SUPER pigmented , I could have easily gotten away with one coat , but as always used two. The polish applied like butter , and the colour for me screams Christmas ( I'm not a huge fan of red nai...

Hi guys ! Wow really cant believe its already going to be Christmas this week . Seriously where has the year gone ?? I would like to thank everyone that reads my little blog this year, for each comment and every tweet / email I get.

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is having a great week so far !! Mine has been super busy so far , but it's downhill from here to the weekend .  Today I have a special friend on the blog today , the lovely Siobhan from  For The Love of Nail Art  is sharing a lovely mani she did . So enough of my rambling, here's her gorgeous mani post. _______________________________________________________________________________ Lynn asked me MONTHS ago to do a guest post for her and I was never quite sure what to do. Sometimes you want to do something different. Anyway one day an idea hit me. Lynn sent me a parcel a while back with some cool goodies but I most of all loved the girly confetti she included in my box so I wanted to try recreate that. What I used: • Sinful Colors 24/7 • Tip Top Surfer Girl • China Glaze Glitter all the Way • Essence Grey to be Here • Dotting tool and thin nail art brush Firstly if you're on Lyn's blog, you'll KNOW ...
