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 ...

Happy New Year !

  Hi guys ! First off - HAPPY NEW YEAR !!  Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and hopefully a stunning New Year's Eve. Mine was a blast, enjoyed spending some extra quality time with family and friends.  Today I have a fun 2014 mani to share with you. I wanted a fun New Year's Eve mani that was playful yet sophisticated. So here's my look - For the mani I used : Pinky , Index and thumb - China Glaze I am Lion, then I used some striping tape and used Tip Top Black Forest on top and peeled the striping tape off to reveal a fun design. I then topped it off with China Glaze Fairy Dust (I looove this polish ... it will be in tons of looks in the future too ) Middle and Ring Finger - Tip Top French Manicure White, topped with Miss Signature Special Effect Glitter in Midnight Party and used a striping brush to design the numbers. And topped it off with China Glaze Matte Magic.  How was your festive season ?? And special New Years Resolutions ?...
