Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday. How has your week been so far? I'm back at full swing at work again this week, and with school only starting so much later this year, it will be a bit of a juggle with work and holiday life for the kiddo.  Today I'm sharing one of my favourite posts to always do - some of my favourite nail care essentials. Not a lot of you know this but this little blog started out as a nail art/swatches blog for all things nail related back in the day - and has since evolved into so much more. But I still adore nail looks and sharing what I love using.  With constantly sanitizing my hands (even before Corona ) I love using an extremely hydrating hand cream at night. I'll admit during the day I hardly put on any cream (eek!) but at night I love using a super hydrating hand cream. My current favourite - the Avon Concentrated Hand Balm with glycerine and jojoba oil. This hand cream has an extremely thick consistency, is unscented and protects and repairs extremely dry...

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 ! Happy Monday . Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was nice and relaxing. Had a great Mother's Day weekend with Alex . Essence recently came out with a million new releases ( I will be sharing some of the new make-up releases later this week too ) and I couldn't wait to pick up a few of the new products to test out and review for you guys. This isn't even half of the new goodies they have, just a little taste of the products I picked up.  (Some of the products were PR samples I received a few months back too ) Essence Studio Nails Triple Care * R34,95 This is a great treatment that aims to repair , strenghten and care for your nails. So far I really like to use this treatment as a base coat before I apply my polish . It's really a great budget friendly nail treatment. Essence Studio Nails Pro White Care R34,95 This is the treatment I can see myself reaching for most over winter time. This treatment claims to help whiten your nails , which i...

Hi guys ! First off .. HAPPY NEW YEAR ! I took a little blogging break over the festive season, but I'm glad to be back in full force today. Hope everyone had a great festive season with loved ones.  Today I'm starting off a little mini series like last year - Back To Work - where I will share some of my favourite goodies that are great to help you settle back into work and the new year ahead.  Today I will be sharing a little Sorbet Set that I got for Christmas ( I got a few more sets... But for now I am sharing my thoughts on this little set ) The Sorbet Au Naturelle set contains a Sorbet Melting Moments (a nude/pinkish nail polish) , A Sorbet Base & Top Coat, and a cute cosmetic bag. The colour is perfect for work (As most of you can't wear crazy bold colours to work) & will look stunning on almost any skintone.  Melting Moments is a soft pink-ish nude nail polish. This polish applies like butter and is fully opaque in two coats (If you use thicke...
