Ice Cream Nails

First time in a while I have attempted nail art, it took a lot longer then expected! Well in case you couldn't guess, the red parts are meant to be cherries, and the other parts are sprinkles. Most of the colours are China Glaze, with a couple of Barry M's chucked in for good measure. I have seen ice cream nails all over the place at the moment so thought I would catch onto the craze, they fit in quite nicely with the fact that its a lovely sunny day outside!

I'm going home! And NOTD

It is very early on a Saturday morning as I start work at 8am today. None of that matters though because I get to go visit my parents for 9 days!

Me and my mum will be getting our hair done and going to Covent Garden and I will get to see my old work friends on my way home after work tonight and lets not forget about all the parcels waiting for me! Hopefully a Trans Design order, some Sugarpill and some ebay purchases!

So a very excited and happy me today!

To keep this beauty related, here is a NOTD, because I am a bit too obsessed with them at the moment.

So from left to right starting with the thumb we have:
Barry M - Berry Ice Cream
Models Own - Dove Grey
China Glaze - Something Sweet
Essie - Mint Candy Apple
Models Own - Utopia
And the polka dots where done using my Models Own nail art pen. Have a great weekend!

Small Boots Haul

So I wanted a couple of things from boots, but when I get there I discover a £20 gift card in my purse! I was quite pleased because there was some more bits that I wanted to get. Its silly how much this small haul excites me, but its pretty much all inspired by beauty blogs so I'm hoping it all lives up to the hype! Here is what I got:

First up we have Oilatum. This has been recommended by Pixiwoo which is the main reason I got it. I have also ran out of my Eve Lom products so it was good timing. This is supposed to be quite a heavy cream, which is good for me because since I changed contraception my skin has been very dry, so lets see if this works!
Next up is a Barry M fine glitter dust. It is in number 15. It is just a white with lots of gold glitter in it. I got this so that I can recreate Xsparkages latest tutorial (the white swan). If you haven't checked out the tutorial I would really recommend it!
Then we have the Barry M Nail Effects. This has been sold out for soooo long that I had given up hope on it, but when I popped into Boots and they had it I know I had to snap it up. For those who don't know, it is one of those crackle polishes that shrink when you put it on top of another colour.
The last thing I got was a white nail polish. This is from 17 and is called Mini Skirt. I wanted a white polish to do my valentines day manicure. I would've got one from Barry M but they didn't have any on the stand so I settled for this one. Lets hope its not thin and streaky!
So that's the end of my haul. I can't wait to try it all out. Any of the latest 'must haves' tempting you?
