Ciate's 2013 Christmas Advent Calendar

It is way too early to be thinking of Christmas, but I received an email a few days ago from Selfridges informing me that Ciate was going to be doing another nail polish advent calendar this year. I have checked it out, although it is not yet available to buy. 

I am a little disappointed that they have also decided to show you all the colours this year, where's the element of surprise? I understand the logic, people want to know what they are buying, but then on the other hand now I've seen the colour range (a mix of pastels, metallics and caviar beads) I'm not sold! My opinion may change the nearer we get to Christmas, when I'll have to face the dilemma of whether to get a traditional chocolate calendar or this little beauty again!

Until next time...

Ladybird Nails

I'm not entirely sure I remember how to even post on here, it has been so long! Anyway, I began to worry I had lost my nail art mojo as the months went by, but I rediscovered my love of all things nails a few weeks ago when procrastinating from having to do work by searching through Pinterest. I found this beautiful ladybird design and wanted to see if I still 'had it'...

I used Revlon's Coconut Crush (it actually smells like coconuts!) for the base of the little ladybird nails, and Rimmel's Red Carpet for my accent nail and the ladybirds themselves. 

I love this design, it is simple and understated.

Until next time...
