Purple cherry....

Purple Cherry, perfect name...

Glorious colour... Autumn seems like the perfect time for these colours :-)

2 Coats topped with seche

Applied easily and super glossy , love love this brand - wish they would come to the UK!!

I am currently taking Biotin & Hair, Nails & Skin vitamins, just started with the latter, so hopefully my nails will improve, they aren't breaking but just not as good as they have been!! - of course I also want to grow my tresses.. so it all goes hand in hand!

Hot and Not....

Yes its that time again for the week....

HOT

Holiday from work..didn't go anywhere but it was sooo lovely just to relax... (back to the office in the morning..boo)

Snoods ... I love my snood... think I might need a thicker one mind!!

Hair Powders...loving Amla and Cassia (neutral henna) at the moment...so amazing..Its worth the mixing/sitting about with mud on my head for two hours!

Aussie Haircare... hair is becoming a bit of a second love for me at the moment, adoring Aussie Moist and 3 minute Miracle... Gorgeousness!

Getting the teapot on..deffo teapot weather!

Gettin back in the gym..so nice after my flare up..feels fantastic!!

Hair accessories.. other half got me some little leather roses on hair pins in the week...soo cute.. lusting after giant bows.. chunky headbands and all sorts of hair sticks...droolie


NOT

The cold snap here... brrr... I have taken to wrappping up like I am off to Antarctica when I get home! sooo chilly

Pushy doctors... No means No!!

Tights.. I am resisting wearing tights at the moment, but don't think that will last too much longer...they are always a pain in the rear!!

Primarni... yes.. I said it.. Primark was a huge disappointment in the week... was so gutted, my poor fiance had to deal with my moping for an hour -All a girl wanted was some nice oversize jumpers.!!

Dark mornings... brrr..pitch black at 6.30am....dosent make me want to run off to the gym!!

Unnamed franken

Here are some quick swatches of my un-named franken... leave name suggestions below :-)

1 heavy handed coat over ASOS Alexa (dark creme navy)

So blingy its unreal!!

This started as Rockstar overdose - purple & blue fine glitter

Added in loose gold glitter & red glitter

Gave it a good shaking up before slowly adding in just enough Models own Silver Spangle - flat sequin silver glitter

Since I am on a bit of a no buy...I am having to franken to amuse myself lol Any nail art requests or other post requests go for it!!

TTFN lovelies xoxox

Just a sneak peak... franken

A sneaky peak... sparkle-tastic franken :-)

swatches soon (I may need acetone for removal first!!)

xoxo

Pure Ice TEASE...over Megan

ASOS Megan topped with Pure Ice TEASE... gives a gorgeous deep fuchsia hint as well as a blue shimmer! I love Pure Ice.. can completely make over any colour (Not that Megan needed any!)

This is 1 coat, topped with another coat of Seche( excuse the pre-cleanup!)

My untried box is slowly whittling away... so may be time for frankens or a bit of nail art, any suggestions post them below.. I am trying to be good now until xmas ..no buying :-)

Icing Blackout

My first Icing polish, I got this a wee while ago however I knew I would find it wayy too distracting whilst studying!! lol

This is two coats... it was very weird in formula... gloopy yet very thin... weird.. maybe I need to thin it out... hmm.. 6 good shakes and the second coat behaved slightly better!! Seche fixes everything!

Lovely, exactly what I expected.. cant go wrong with this one! Maybe a 3rd coat would make it more black... the holo glitter is fantastic and very fine, completely smooth!

I also got with it Icing Glamorous which is basically the same as Chg Fairy dust...holo suspended in clear always a must for frankens :-)

Anyhoo lovelies, am slowly catching up on all the naily news.... now lemming Barielle, amongst others lol .....gonna search out BarryM Crackle tomorrow....doesn't appeal to me but sure it would make for a good giveaway, fingers crossed they have stock left!!

ASOS Paints Megan

Yes I am a creme - a -holic

This is a lovely purple creme, reminds me a lot of the WnW creme's .. perfect in 2 coats, topped with seche :-)

Cant go wrong with this one, and for £1 ...cant beat it!! Wonder if ASOS are bringing out more of these ...or they are going for good ..hmm

Like the packaging on these, very cute!! Have yet to try any ciate main line.... the formula on these is cracking, glossy and quick drying

Am getting back into the swing of things atm, have a few days relax time so no doubt polish play will be on the cards :-)

Mood changing...Grey

Now this one I wanted forever, so chuffed to have it in my collection

This is 2 coats topped with seche - so far it is wearing better than the others- ie. more than 12 hours wear!! it is a little cracked now...but can easily last until tomorrow!

I never tire of mood polish... bit of a big kid at heart!

Playing with my untrieds..in the attempt of diverting my eyes from the unattainable holiday collections & burlesque!!... So here you go.. Claire's Grey mood polish..and oldie but a goodie!

Milani dressmaker

This was a complete surprise from a sweet MUAer - I also got the Jordana version thanks to darling J ..so I was spoilt with my Jade dupes!! Quick and dirty swatching...did I mention I am a bit manic atm!! LOL

I was not feeling this at first, but people at work were swooning all over it, so I decided its growing on me :-)

2 coats + seche ... 24 hours and its already wrecked..but I think that's my typing/cleaning/chewing my nails/doing my hair...NOT the formula!!

This is my first Milani..I absolutely love some of the nudes they recently released..magicmaid made them look yummy!

Gorgeous, definitely be pulling this one out in Spring...it doesn't seem very seasonal!

Time for bed!!
