Cheeky trip home

Now, firstly, I apologise for this poorly laid-out post. I have absolutely no idea how to blog using only the iPhone app as this is my first time. Secondly I apologise for the lack of posts lately. I took a spontaneous trip back home to visit my family and best friend and have no computer!


On Sunday, myself and my brother and dad went to watch our Rugby team, London Irish, play. Disappointing results but I won't bore you all with rugby talk.

I am visiting until Thursday however I am reluctant to leave, I get super homesick when back in London. But I am so glad I've been spending quality time with my mum, even if we have just been cleaning the house.





I also let my best friend do my Halloween nails, and considering this was the first time she's ever attempted nail art, I think she didn't do a too shabby job!!

I'll be back to post normally on Thursday and also put up my giveaway! (Hopefully.. Anyone else meant to have been paid a week ago and still have an empty bank account?! :'()

Raspberry Reasons

Now we've broken into the wonderful season that is Autumn, I think it's time to whack out the burgundy! Well, this nail shade is actually 'Raspberry', but just dark-reddy shades in general are a must!

I am a MASSIVE lover of Barry M nail paints as they come in such wonderful colours, the only thing about them is they take a while to dry, but when they do they look fab!

The Nail Enamel with shimmery bits in I've coated the Barry M colour with was actually picked up for me by my nan, at a little boot fair or somewhere, as nan's do. Which is a pain really, as I love it and now do not know where I can repurchase! Luckily, she got it for me in both a pinky shade AND a silver, win!

I can't believe that'd I've gained so many followers already, it's incredible! As you all know, I was planning a 100 follower giveaway, which I still am, as soon as I get paid :)

I get paid any day in the next few days, and when I do, it's straight to the shops to pick up some lovely buys that all of you beautiful bloggers deserve!

No raindrops, just Roses

Barry M - Aqua Green - 285

I'm fairly new at this 'nail art' thing. I see all of these amazing and creative designs online and wish more than anything I could do such things! But, that doesn't mean I can't try! 

These are my attempts at Roses, using 2 shades of green Barry M's and 2 pink standard nail-art pens.

Took a slight while, and also far to long to dry, as they got ruined within a few hours, but they were nice while they lasted.

Lesson is, I may have to invest in a better top-coat varnish.

On another note, I have an extremely bad throat infection which has inflamed all of the glands down my body causing me quite a bit of pain. On the bright-side, my boyfriend's taking me to see 'Ted' tonight and I couldn't be more excited!
