Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . How was your week ? Hopefully not too hectic . Mine has been very busy with juggling parenthood (and a kid with a million and one activities ) with work and blogging. But I survived - so a big yeah for that.  Today I will be sharing my Top 5 Everyday Nude Nail Polishes with you guys. As you know I love a good nude nail polish - and they are usually my go to shade every week ( well at least until my good friend Siobhan convinced me to do the #52weeknailchallenge with her) .  For the last few years I usually just went with nude nails and the occasional pink nails as my go to. I love how classic it looks and that it goes with everything. Most work environments require a more neutral look and nothing too over the top.  Do I think it might be a little boring and predictable ? Sure , perhaps if you like more bolder colours ... But these are my favourites that I recommend to anyone looking for a good nude polish staple in their collection.  ...

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . How has your week been so far ? Mine is actually pretty good so far so I don't have any complaints.  Back in November Born Pretty Store contacted me to offer me some goodies to review on the blog, and while the postage time did suck over the Holiday period - I finally received the goodies last week and I'm sharing the first nail look I did with them with you today . THESE  decals from  BornPrettyStore  includes some fun Christmas inspired owls , as well as some everyday owls. While Christmas might be over , I couldn't wait to play with these decals as I love Owl everything. Water decals always have the prettiest designs - and they are super easy to use too. I love using them as accent nails instead of full Mani's - I find that way the look doesn't look too overly done . So onto the nails :  The colours used : Essence White On White China Glaze Glistening Snow China Glaze Fairy Dust Tip Top Milkyway OPI ...

Hi guys ! Hope you are having a great week so far. First off... Sorry for being "missing" for a few days... Sometimes life just gets a little hectic...   Last week I got some awesome grey flocking powder from  KKCenterHK  and couldn't wait to start playing with it. I have to say ... I LOVE their flocking powders. It's super fluffy ... (I do own another brand of flocking powder... But this one is so much easier to work with... brushes off your skin so much easier and lasts longer ... And is really pretty and fluffy even after washing your hands) They work pretty easy too.. Apply your polish , and gently take a little flocking powder with a tweezer and gently pat it on.  So onto the pics ... For the mani I used : Pink - OPI Sparrow Me The Drama Grey -  Essence Grey-t to be Here topped with  KKCenterHK  Grey Flocking Powder Light Pink Pearly Studs Remember to check out their online store here   KKCenterHK  . They h...

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great week. Sorry for no post on Wednesday, I came back a little sick from my holiday last week, and with the cold hitting JHB again and being sick I just wasn't in the mood to write up a post. But I'm finally getting better .. YEAH !!! Today I'm sharing my current #NOTD with you (And this doesn't happen often ... ) OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE nude nail polishes (next to OPI My Vampire is Buff ) . OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons applies like butter and the wear time on this polish is AMAZING !  I decided to pair it up with an accent nail of OPI Extra-va-vaganza! A gorgeous orange and gold toned opaque glitter polish . Again another two coat perfection polish. So onto the nails - How has YOUR week been ? Any fun weekend plans ??
