Pound Shop & Kleancolor Blue Holo

I recently bought 2 polishes from the pound shop, that's two for a pound not each!  You never really know what they are going to be like, but hey ho thought I'd give them a go, afterall it's only a pound.  Not bad really and with Kleancolor Blue Holo on the ring finger.

And here's the pair, thinkK i'll give the purple one whirl next time.....

Another Gift from my Boss - Nails Inc

I'm so lucky to be appreciated at work and my lovely boss buys me the most amazing gifts.  Last week I received the following

First set (which was a freebie for buying the others), 50ml Kensington hand cream, Crystal nail file and 3 mini polishes in Lowndes Square, Lennox Gardens & Berkley Square

Next up The Glitterati Set, Hatton Garden 10ml – Silver Glitter, London Bridge 10ml – Magenta Glitter, Chelsea Embankment 10ml – Gold Glitter

And finally Little Miss Chatterbox & Little Miss Naughty, hope my boss is not implying that I'm either of these!!!



Home Made Water Decals

I decided to have a go at creating my own nail Water Decals and it was actually easier than I thought.  I bought a sheet of water decal paper off Ebay, you can buy as little as one sheet at a time, printed my photo onto it, cut out the image, gave it a coat of top coat to seal it in, waited for it to dry, put in water, removed backing and placed on nail with top coat on top, now I've got my pussy on my nails!!  Love my Bobs x

And here is my handsome man...



My Favourites of the Moment.....

I'm loving the new polishes that have a lot of gold in them, here are my 4 faves.....

L-R, Nails Inc New Burlington Place, OPI It's my Year, NYX Sea of Cortez, Zoya Faye

I'd love to get more polishes like these, Zoya do loads, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know x

A Gift from My Boss - Nails Inc Little Miss

I was very lucky to be given 2 Nails Inc Little Miss Polishes, Little Miss Naughty & Little Miss Splendid from my Boss.
