Spring Inspired Skittle Mani

I'm baaack! Did you miss me?

I apologise for my hiatus but sometimes life gets a bit hectic. But I am all moved into my new flat now, and slowly getting everything sorted. So I now have a bit more free time and have finally managed to do something interesting with my nails.

For this design I took a lot of inspiration from The Nailasaurus, her blog is one of the first that I started following and she is a truly awesome nail artist. If you haven't seen her blog already (where have you been hiding?!) there is a link to it here, I highly recommend you check it out.

A Little Update.

Hello everyone,

No nails today I'm afraid, just an update to inform you that I may be a little absent from blogging for a few weeks. But I will be back as soon as I can.

My schedule has gone a bit crazy lately - I am working A LOT. I work a lot of late shifts too which  means I don't have much time in the morning to do anything, but when I get home all I wanna do is sleep!

The main thing that is taking my time however is that I am moving out in the next couple of weeks, so most of my spare time is going into getting organised for that. I currently live with my parents but me and my boyfriend are getting a flat together, which is all very exciting - but a lot of hard work. I can't wait til the move is all sorted and I can put my time into my nails again (my nails are suffering badly, they haven't been this neglected for ages!)

I just thought I would post this so people know I haven't disappeared and that I am still going to be blogging as much as I can. But posts will very few and far between for a while. I hope you all understand!

Random Swatch: Cirque - Book Of Shadows

Hello everyone. I have been sooo busy the last week with work and trying to find a flat, my nails have been plain all week! But I finally have a day off so hopefully I will be able to squeeze some nail art in today. But for now I shall show you what I was wearing last week; Cirque - Book Of Shadows.

Pretty Purples

Hello, I hope everyone is having a good day. Today is my only day off this week so I have been relaxing this morning but I am viewing a flat later - very excited!

Today I have some nail art to show you. I recently bought a bottle of OPI - You're Such A Budapest and I just had to use it. I am quite pleased with how this design turned out, but I think I could have done the triangle half moons a bit neater. But I will work on that next time I do something similar.

Random Swatch: Ciate - Strawberry Milkshake

Good evening, I hope everyone has had a good day. Mine was okay, I had work but I have a day off tomorrow which I am looking forward to.

Tonight I have another swatch to show you which is Ciate - Strawberry Milkshake. This is a super girly, light pink creme and its a very pretty colour. I got this in one of Ciate's Caviar Manicure sets which I was not really a fan of - I tried it once when I was going out for a meal and most of the beads had fallen off by the time I went out! Then I think I ended up eating a few of them that fell in my dinner and the rest ended up on the floor of my boyfriend's car (he wasn't best pleased haha). But I thought the polish was quite pretty so I kept it to use on its own.

For the photo I used 3 coats as I found the formula a little streaky, but it evened out quite nicely after the third coat. I didn't use a topcoat for this photo.

 I felt like barbie wearing this polish, which is totally not my usual style, but I actually really liked it. The bottle is also really cute, although I had to rip the bow off because I kept dragging it through my wet polish when painting my nails which was very annoying. I don't know if I am the only one who has done this?

I do rather like this polish, despite a slight issue with the formula. It is the only Ciate polish I own but I would definitely try more of their products in the future.
