    It’s beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart

    I’ve just taken a ‘Personality Type’ quiz that Steph from Imperfectly Painted shared on Twitter and found out that I’m an INTP.
    Then I found this website called The Personality Page where you can read about all the personality types and how they are in relationships and at work and such. I find it all very interesting and I thought you guys might like to give it a go.
    You can take the quiz here.

    A Tragic Loss

    I got into a little skirmish with a shower curtain and the shower curtain won. And it took the tip of my thumbnail with it!
    This is a new polish that I found reduced in Tesco from the Barbara Daly Make-Up range. I haven’t captured it very well in the photo, but it’s a gorgeous, deep royal purple.

    Hulk Fail

    I was going for a Hulk look with this one. Anyone who is familiar with the comics or the films will know Bruce Banner wears his trademark purple shorts whenever he’s angry!

    The little pink bits you see are some weird tiny foil strips from Viva La Nails. It’s hard to come across ideas for using these.
    I tried to make a line with them but ended up just making a mess instead!

    I’m staying away from home for a few days and trying to travel light which means I won’t be packing many nail supplies or my beast of a camera so I won’t be able to post anything for a while. I should be back on Friday.

    ♪♫ Autumn leaves under frozen souls…

    … hungry hands turning soft and old.
    This is a beautiful song by Paolo Nutini. If you’ve never heard it, please give it a listen.
    I just think ‘Autumn Leaves’ when I look at this brown stamping and then the song popped into my head!

    Flower Power

    You may notice that my post is a little later than normal today. I spent most of my day at the house I am renting this year and shopping for decor to go inside it!
    I was a bit disappointed when I first moved my stuff in as it hadn’t been cleaned properly and had a miserable feel to it, I think because it was empty and really seemed hollow. But now that me and the other girls are filling it with stuff and making it a bit more homely, I think it looks and feels much nicer. 
    I also received some great news last night. I passed the exam I had to resit last month so I get to progress to the next year of my course! Phew! I’m sooo happy now!
