Nails - Holographic & leopard accent

I CANNOT STOP LOOKING AT MY NAILS.

When Lucy blogged about this nail polish, I knew I had to get my hands on it. I had been after a good holographic nail polish for a while, and can definitely recommend this. Just look at it! Such a beaut. And the photos don't even do it enough justice, it's just so lovely!

The nail polish in question is the Jessica Holograam Chic Duo - expensive, but worth it for this prettiness. Plus it's free delivery which is always a massive bonus in my eyes! You apply one coat of the Retro Revival base coat, then one or two coats [I used two] of the Disco Diva hologram polish. As I love accent nails I also leopard printed my ring finger up using Barry M Berry and my Models Own Wah nail art pen.

Florals & leopard spots.

Hannah of Bow Dream Nation held a Krisp giveaway in November. I entered, but forgot about it until a month or so later when I received a tweet from Hannah to tell me I had won!

The prize was an item of my choice. I picked the shirred waist belted tunic. The print and shape of the tunic stood out to me, so I emailed them with my size and received it a week or so later.

My blog isn't very fashion/outfit post orientated, excuse the rubbish photos - got my Mum to quickly snap these for me in our living room!

The tunic came with a belt to tie round, in the same material, but I prefer to wear a proper belt with these kind of things.

I really love it, the print is gorgeous and it's so easy to wear, and such a flattering shape too. I've already seen some other items on the KRISP website which I like the look of, and may end up making a purchase - such good prices too! Thank you to the lovely Hannah for holding the giveaway!

Nails - lilac leopard

Definitely one of my favourite nail colour combos to date - Models Own Utopia for the base colour and Mystic Mauve for the leopard spots.

I originally painted just my ring finger with the leopard, as I didn't have much time before going out last night. But I woke up early [to a cider induced headache] this morning, the boyfriend was still fast asleep, so I occupied myself by painting the rest!

Had a good night out last night, a friend from work left last week so we went out for her leaving do. One of the guys from work brought a pack of cards with him and we were using them for drinking games in 'spoons! So I'm totally blaming him for my headache this morning, he will be in trouble on Monday morning. Ha.

Had a lovely chilled out day today :) I managed to get some more sleep after painting my nails, then my boyfriend brought me tea in bed. We then headed into town for a mooch around, had nando's [yet again] and I got a red cup [gingerbread latte] from starbucks :D I also bought these boots - have been after a pair like these for ages, I'm not keen on uggs - I think they're horribly bulky and ugly! - but these look better somehow, plus they are sooo comfy!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend. I'm going to make a cuppa and watch Vampire Diaries. The rest of the evening will be spent watching X Factor [much to the boyfriend's distaste] and The Walking Dead [something which he does like!] xx
