Nails - Autumnal

Some Autumn inspired nails from last weekend. A pretty mix n' match of nail art - fallen leaves, flowers and ombré. Colours I used are Models Own Black Magic and Utopia, barry m Blood Orange, 2true in shade 8 and Nubar 2010. I also used my barry m nail art pen. I love the Nubar 2010 'fallen leaves'...the light reflecting flakes really do remind me of Autumn leaves - so pretty!

Nails - snowflakes.

My first Christmassy nails of the year!


Barry M Racing Green with a coat of Nubar 2010 over the top. I painted the snowflakes on my ring finger using my new nail art pen from Topshop.


Hope everyone has had a good weekend? I spent this morning recovering from last night - it was my work christmas do, had such a good time! We went to a lovely Italian. I had a starter as a main because all the main meals were full of fish/meat - they gave me sooo much pasta, I could not eat it all! I somehow managed some tiramisu for pudding though, which was heavenly. Karaoke after, followed by lots of shots and drinking games...we will have lots to talk about at work tomorrow, that's for sure.
Had a yummy Harvester for lunch with my boyfriend today, and bought a gorgeous dress from h&m which I tweeted a photo of. I might wear it on Christmas Eve, I'll obviously replace the trousers with tights and wear a belt to nip it in a bit at the waist. And after trying my local starbucks for a half price tumbler with no luck, my Mum messaged me to say she'd got me one! Best Mum ever! .

Right I'm off to watch Elf! Hope you all have a lovely evening. Mine will be spent watching X Factor and Misfits. Who does everyone wants to win? I absolutely love Marcus, but have a feeling it'll be Little Mix. Although that could be a good thing, as it's usually the runner-ups who do better isn't it?!

Nails - Nubar 2010

Nubar 2010 consists of flakes of reflective glitter...



It took a while getting a half decent photo of these nails, as it was difficult to capture the colours! As you can see I had been wearing this polish for a couple of days, as it's a little bit chipped. I painted it over Models Own Black Magic. It works well with the black, you get beautiful yellow, orange and green tones. I LOVE this nail polish and can't wait to try it over other colours! Very festive too! I got mine here if anyone's interested.





Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. I went to see Breaking Dawn Part 1 with my friend on Friday night. We got tickets for the 8.30pm showing, but then had problems [as it was so busy], Vue then mucked us around so we complained loads and they refunded us the money and we went to a later showing for free! So it wasn't all bad. Loved the film too. Best one so far in my opinion.
Yesterday my friend and I went Christmas shopping. I've nearly finished mine, so just got a couple of things for people [and this dress for myself, oops], but it was nice to catch up and have a couple of coffees from starbucks!
Today my family [and boyfriend] and I went to help decorate my brother and his fiancé's new house. It was the first time I'd seen their new place, and I think it's going to look really lovely once it's all finished! We had a lovely roast at il Ponte after, Ben and I shared the most delicious dessert! Still stuffed.
Now I'm back home in my pyjamas watching X Factor and looking forward to Misfits later! Monday again tomorrow, that came around quick...but I've only got a 4 day week followed by a 5 day weekend so that's something to look forward to!
