Autumn Nails - Essie Bahama Mama

It's not even Autumn here but I absolutely love this nail polish all year round. Essie's Bahama Mama is a beautiful maroon/red wine shade and perfect for Autumn. Shown here is three coats over OPI's Nail Envy and topped with Seche Vite. 
Now for a little life/blog up date. It's the middle of spring here which means that University is finished for the year, except for the last unlucky few who still have exams, which means hopefully I'll have more time to focus on my blog. I have so many post plans, they just need to be executed now. I recently saw a few other bloggers talking about blogmas on twitter and think that I might give it ago this year. I think participating in blogmas could really be the kick start my blog needs. Over the past year I've posted sporadically and never had a really plan but I want to have a proper go at it this time. 

Let me know your thoughts on blogmas in the comments down below and be sure to let me know if you're planning on participating this year.

Nail Care Products

I have an array of hand and nail products which I use on a regular basis to keep my hands and nails in tip top condition. I'd thought I would share my favourites with you all, so let's get started.

Nail Art - Purple Ombre

Hello! 

It's been months since I've sat down and actually written a blog post! Summer has been really busy for me, with working full time, going away on holiday & just being to tired at the end of a hot day too do any blogging. But I am back, I have just started University for this year and my timetable for the first semester is pretty relaxed, so luckily for me that means more time to do my nails & blog! 

I am attempting to do Californails Nail Art March, however I am slacking a bit already since I haven't posted day 1. I did the dotticure for day 1 & when I tried to take photos of it it was too neon to get a nice photo, don't you just hate that about neons. I have posted day 4 ombre and that is what I plan to share with you in the post ( I may also chuck in a photo or two of the neon mani which failed to photograph).

This was my first time doing ombre nails but I really loved them, having only around 100 polishes I didn't think I would have enough of one colour to do a ombre but turns out I do! I actually kinda cheated though by only doing four fingers but I'm sure I could have found a fifth if I tried. 

Nail Art - Floral Nails

Hi Everyone!

Today I've got some floral nail art to show you. These were inspired by lacquerstyle. You can find lacquerstyle's blog post with tutorial here. I really enjoyed doing these and love how they turned out, although I did manage to smudge my pinky with the top coat. 

Polishes used :

Orly Bonder

OPI - My Vampire is buff

OPI - Elephantastic Pink

OPI - My Chihuahua Bites!

Essie - Fiji

Essie - Bahama Mama

Poshe Top Coat

I used a small nail art brush for the design

Over the next few days I hope to have my first Christmas Nail Art up!

Thanks for checking out my blog! Let me know what you think.
