A Rainy day manicure

Hello all! Today I bring you a manicure inspired by the current weather we're enjoying here in the UK.

Yep, it's been raining...

The saviour of the clumsy nail artist by Barry M

Hello all! You'll have to bear with me, things are a bit manic with planning for holiday, hen days, and work being work, so I might go a touch quiet every so often. So today I bring you an offering from Barry M!

Am I feeling Angelic...

Today, not so much if I'm honest. However you are not here to read about my problems, unless they are make up related! So I bring to you Angel Wings by Ciaté. Oh Ciaté I struggle so very very hard to like you, and this is another delightful example as to why.

Pop on some Party Shoes

Huzzah! It's a polish post, and today we have Ciaté Party Shoes. Now Ciaté I am finding at a discount everywhere, from TKMAXX to Moneysavingexpert.com (brilliant deal on a gel nails kit there at the moment), and this the Boy picked up for me for £2 in London *joy*.

Ooops...Let's try this again.

Okay so my regularity sucks, I blame life...

So to make up for it I have an oh so pretty nail art post for you.

Kor that's bright!

As winter shuffles on I find myself looking towards fresh colours and summer brights to perk up my mood in these dark wet months. The Spring 2014 edit from Michael Kors makeup is just the ticket to cure me of my winter blues, look at these lovelies!

Sporty set

Maybelline takes on the street.

So I wander through Superdrug and what catches my eye but the new top coat collection from Maybelline Colour Show. The Street Art collection is bright, eye catching, and funky, and adds an interesting edge to nail art. Glitter and texture top coats haven't really grabbed my attention so far but I couldn't resist spending my reward points on two of these beauties.

Now I get the idea behind these and I love the concept, splattered paint to mess up your manicure for an edgey look, but do they achieve what they set out to do?

Nails for the vamp in me

I did promise something for my vampy readers and here it is today, winter purples to fight against those winter blues.

Ciaté take my fancy

Can I just sing the praises of TK Maxx just a little here? Two Ciaté ripped to shreds foil manicure kits, but still with the paint pots in at £4 each, and then a freebie paint pot because the guy behind the counter saw I was buying the other two sets and another nail polish bargain of 3 Orly polishes shoved in a bag at £2.99 (pricing mistake on their part but
who am I to argue?!) Yes two of the paint pots are missing their adorable bow but at £8 for the three, with nail wheels and nail effects glue I'm not going to sniff at that. Right onto the actual polishes!

L'Oreal clouds give me a silver lining

I never said my titles would be good...
So I've done perfume, it's now on to nails. First up two from the L'Oreal Color Riche range, Blue Reef and Sublime Platine.
