In and Out! Plus a few collection pictures.

Hi!

It is absolutely miserable weather here today. So much so that I can't for the life of me, get a decent picture of the nail polish I currently have on. The polish I have on has shot straight to the top of my favourite list so I want to show you guys some decent shots of it so I'm going to see if it's a bit brighter tomorrow... I won't hold my breath, I do live in the UK after all!

So in the mean time I thought I would do something I've seen Sophie from melovemakeup do on her blog - Ins and Outs!

Ins

- HJ Manicure's Midnight Sky - I am SO in love with this nail polish! I will post pictures soon :)

- Urban Decay's Box of Shadows Vol II. I love every single thing about it. I have used it every time I've done my makeup recently. SO pretty!

- Preparing to put up the Christmas decorations tomorrow! The 1st of December is the earliest I feel I can put them up!

- Bernard Matthew's Mini Kievs - random I know but I just love them. I think I could eat them everyday forever.

- Getting excited about the Christmas Party this Friday! Posh hotel, open bar, lots of turkey, what else could I ask for!

Outs

- Not being able to sleep. My insomnia is so bad at the moment!

- The days getting gloomier and gloomier. I want to take pictures of my manicures!!

- Christmas shopping rage. I love Christmas shopping but I'm not so good with the crowds and queues. Maz says I get the shopping rage look on my face and the elbows come out :)

- Not being able to go back to hometown until after Christmas :(

That's it I think!

For those of you that didn't want to watch the video about my storage in my last post, here are a few pictures of my nail polish collection -

I didn't take pictures of my makeup, you'll have to watch the video if you want to see that ;)

Nail Polish & Makeup Storage.

Hello!

It's taken several attempts but I've finally managed to upload a video to YouTube to show you guys my storage!

The reason I don't sound very bouncy in it is because it was about my 5th attempt to record a video under 10mins long! I couldn't edit because as soon as I edit anything it seems to increase the upload time to about 10 hours!

Anyway I decided to do a video because there were just too many pictures. For those of you who don't want to watch the video then I will put a few pics on later :)

Sorry about the quality and lack of good lighting!

So here it is -



As you can see my collection is not nearly as big as most people's but I'm having a good go at increasing it :)

Hope you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you want to see anything more closely or have any questions!

Storage, Sinful Color's Secret Admirer and Some Nail Art.

Hi!

This is another post that's going to be picture heavy but this time it's all about polish!

I was looking on youtube earlier and saw this tutorial by Nihrida. Seeing as I already had a dark polish on I thought I'd give it a go! Nihrida's blog is one of my favourites to read and great for inspiration!

Here are the results -

I used Sinful Color's Secret Admirer for the base (see below for more about that), Sinful Color's Queen of Beauty as the glitter and BarryM's Silver at the nail bed.

I'm quite pleased with this. As you can see I messed up in a few places but overall I'm happy with the result so thank you Nihrida! I should try things out more often :)

As I said earlier I used Sinful Color's Secret Admirer as the base so here are some pictures of just that before I glittered it!

Isn't it gorgeous! It is another of the polishes that was in the birthday parcel from Niki and it may be one of my favourites... 

It only needed 1 coat (1 COAT!!) and dried really fast compared to other Sinful Color's I've tried. 

Lastly, I went to Ikea on Friday and bought some new storage for my nail polish and accessories. I was thinking about getting a Helmer like I've seen other people using but in the end I went with the Andy because it's more my style and my collection doesn't really justify a helmer at the moment!

I absolutely love it and I can just pull it round to wherever I'm doing my nails that day. Maybe one day I'll have enough polish to need another one.... ;)

Finally, I just cant resist adding a non polish related picture so here's a picture of the dress Maz bought me yesterday as an early birthday present. It's from Jane Norman and was love at first sight for me! I loved it so much that Maz had to get it for me :)

That's it for now. Hope you've all had a good weekend!
