Watch a gift

So it seems I've been away longer than I thought I had. September and October have been pretty busy months for me. With a holiday in September and completing my acrylic nails course in October I feel like I haven't had a minute to spare. But hey I'm back now and ready to get right back into my blogging stride!

And what better way to start than with this fab watch I received from the lovely people at watchagift.co.uk. In a stunning rose gold colour, my new favourite metal. And with a sparkly leopard print face, my always favourite print. This watch was right up my street!! The face is bigger in real life than it looked on the site, but that's a good thing in my books. I've included a pic of the watch on my wrist so you can see what it looks like in relation to a real arm.

At just £25 this watch is such a bargain, you'd need to really look closely to realise it's not a more expensive, designer style. I'll definitely be back on the watchagift.co.uk website as I continue my Christmas shopping as they have so much choice for men and women and the styles are all really reasonably priced.

Nails of the day - neon leopard print

After having a touch of the midweek blues today (I've got a cheek after a 3 day weekend!), I decided to cheer myself up with some fun nails. I applied Nails Inc in Floral Street as a base, two coats gives a gorgeous, bright white shade, it always reminds me of the old days when we used to paint our nails with tipp-ex! Then I did the leopard print design down one side of each nail using Nails Inc in Chelsea Park, a bright neon coral shade, and the Models Own Wah Nails nail art pen in black. And I finished off with a quick coat of Seche Vite.

I was really pleased with the outcome. What do you think...?

 

 

Nails of the day - lather, rinse, repeat

I'm starting to worry a bit about my obsession for animal prints. Whether it's in my clothes, my accessories or my nails I can't seem to get enough of it. Last night I decided to give my nails a new twist with some bright  pink leopard print. Inspired by the lovely Gem Fatale this is actually the first time I've managed a successful leopard print, my other attempts usually end badly!

The neon pink nail polish is by Misa, I picked it up after a manicure in my local salon way back last year and, I'm not gonna lie, I think the main reason for the purchase was the amazing name "lather, rinse, repeat" I love it! I can't actually find anywhere to buy it online in the UK, but try your local salon or good old eBay of course! The leopard print was achieved with the Model's Own Wah Nails nail art pen. 

 

Now that I can finally do it, I think leopard print might be my new go-to nail art style!

Nails of the day - leopard lovelies

Yay it's the weekend! Have you all got lots planned? I've got a busy one with a couple of parties to go to (including our own house-warming, wooop!) so I decided it was time for some new nails...

I've had these Nails Rock nail wraps in my house for months since I got them in a Glossybox. I have a bit of a thing for leopard print so I was really pleased that was the design I received. I've been meaning to use them for ages but I just keep forgetting about them, so I decided now was as good a time as any to try nail wraps for the first time.They were really simple to use although I only applied them last night so time will tell how long they last.

I decided to just use the wraps on my ring fingers as a highlight and use Models Own in nude beige on the rest of my fingers. I think they look really effective together and the beauty is that I now have loads of wraps left over for more nail fun, yay! What do you think? Have you used nail wraps before?
