To build a home.

Hey guys sorry it's been so long! I've been really busy with work and never really have the energy to do my nails often so i have decided to change this blog to things that inspire me everyday, things i've bought and just random crap that i feel like sharing :) so now for a picture post of what i've been upto!
This is Reuben, he delivered a newspaper to my door and i knew from then i wanted to be with him. Weird how these things happen?
The beautiful cake my wonderful mummy and sister made me for my 21st.
Fun times at the beach with my nephew
A ring and oversized clutch i bought myself for my 21st.
Much needed new jewellery holders.
My halloween mani which lasted a whole 10 minutes.
My gorgeous little Coco.

Penguins

Hi guys, I've started a new job on my days off this week i tried a mani inspired by forever the ugly duckling you can find the mani here. I highly suggest you check out Marina's blog, I'm always getting inspired by everything she posts. Onto the mani.

I tried out one of my new wetnwild polishes called Shiver, i love the colour but it chips so easily so i don't think il be using it again until i find a way to make it hold better. So i started with a base coat, then wetnwild Shiver. For the snow i used a generic silver glitter. For the base of the penguin i used Sally Hansen hard as nails Xtreme wear 28 Black out which is a great black, it is almost opaque in one coat and only cost me $12. For the stomach and eyes i used Lancome white. For the beak i used a peachy orange and then a coat of Seche Vite.

I'm not that fond on it, i think i would use a different base and a more vibrant silver for the snow, other than that i love it. I did really well on my first day at work so i decided to treat myself to one of color clubs scented  nail polishes. I just couldnt get it to dry properly so kept smudging it :/ I got Gimme a grape big kiss, and it smells delicious even when i took it off my nails still smelt of it, yum! If i can figure out how to make it dry and not smudge i might look at getting the whole collection.

Meows and kisses! xoxo

Turquoise Shatter

Hi guys sorry its been a while, I haven't done my nails in a while but i decided to treat myself to the turquoise shatter by OPI. At first i hated it because i put it over black, then decided a pink would look good.
I've been wearing it for about a week so excuse the chips but i just had to show you! I think these colours work awesome together, and i was so impressed with this shatter. The application is great and the cracks don't seem to get bigger over the days which is a big plus for me. The only thing i can complain about is the bottle, on all the shatters on the top there is the silver crackle thing, they just slip off because they're a plastic cover which put me off but I will be collecting all the OPI shatters now!

I sorted out all of my polishes and found them a new home because shoe boxes seemed mean.
Theres a few missing because i never seem to put them back after i'm done haha.

Meows and kisses! xoxo

Panda

Sorry i haven't updated in a while, been busy with a few things. So i have two different manis for you, the first one is a very teenage girl inspired haha!
This was for the hubby and i hadn't cleaned up yet. I love it because it reminds me of being 13 and having a huge school girl crush and putting it onto your nails! I've been using a different base coat to try and make my nails a bit healthier its a rimmel one i think, anyway i started with that, then two coats of For Audrey China Glaze, coat of SV then did the letters with Art Deco nail art polish, the heart with Elephantastic Pink OPI and Lancome white for the little dot then a coat of SV. Then i've got my next one to show you.
This is probably my most favorite nail art I've done. It was SO simple and easy and only took me 20 mins. You will need a dotting tool or a toothpick. So i started with a base coat, then For Audrey China Glaze, then with my Lancome white i did the little semicircle (i did this free hand because i couldn't get the tape right) Then with the dotting tool i made the ears and three smaller dots, i used Art Deco black, then when thats dry just put two little dots for the eyes! Its very simple. I suggest buying a dotting tool, its the best thing I've bought so far!

Meows and kisses!! xo
p.s here is a different picture of one of my earlier manis
Hands look real manly but whatever :')

Black Mesh

I wanted to try out my new Sally Hansen green and decided to put crackle over it, probably my most favorite colour to put under it!
This about 4 days of wearing and i'm not really that fond of how big the cracks have gone so i'd probably only wear it for a few days.

Meows and kisses! xo
