    Vampy Half-Moon manicure… but not as you know it

    A few days ago, an idea struck for a half moon manicure but I couldn’t find the stickers I use for them anywhere. I spent more than an hour searching my room top to bottom for the dastardly things to no avail!

    I found myself in an ‘odds and ends’ kind of shop yesterday and remembered just as I was leaving that I needed some of these and I found a packet of about 500 stickers for 60p. Such a bargain!

    The stickers in question are THESE hole reinforcers. I cut them in half and used them to mark off the half moon shape at the base of my nail but instead of painting a new colour over the top, I used a stamp.

    On Monday, Cris @ Let Them Have Polish, Rie @ Nails and Noms and I will be starting the 31 Day Challenge (click here for details). We decided to do it together so that we won’t be tempted to stray from the strict ‘post every day’ rule! I think it will be fun but also challenging to go back to posting daily after relaxing my blogging schedule since the new year. I can’t wait to start and I’m hopefully my enthusiasm won’t dwindle too quickly!

    BK Matte Pureple

    I have some great news guys! I was one of the winning 25 in the Bundle Monster competition. I want to thank every single one of you that voted for me, I really couldn’t have done it without you. If, like me, you love yourself a bit of internet drama, there was some controversy on Bundle Monster’s facebook page when one of the girls who didn’t place in the top 25 got on her high horse and started complaining about the competition, even going as far as to single out another innocent girl’s entry like a playground bully then continue to talk herself in to a deep hole. I must admit, I did put my two cents in because I just couldn’t sit there and watch her going on like an intolerable toddler.
    This polish is another of Born Pretty‘s new matte polishes called Pureple. No, that’s not a typo, it really is pure-ple. 
    Again, I’m super impressed with this polish. The colour is a pinky lavender soufflé with a lovely frosty finish that I haven’t really seen in matte polishes before. And there’s not a single brush stroke in sight. 

    I didn’t get a great picture of it with the top coat but I can assure you it looks absolutely gorgeous. ‘Twinkly’ is the word I would use to describe the way it looks with a glossy top coat – somewhere between a glitter and holographic. I just love it.
    The design is from Konad Plate M64 stamped with Nails Inc. Victoria and finished with a top coat of NYC.
    You can buy the polish here and as I mentioned before, postage is free worldwide so I really recommend you take a look at Born Pretty Store if you’re in need of any nail supplies.

    Barry M Bright Purple

    This is one of the polishes I got for Christmas. I love this colour! I was looking at it in the bottle wondering if I was going to be too pink for my liking but it’s just perfect – it’s bold and bright without being too tacky (imo).

    I also forgot to show you this cool gadget that my aunt bought me for Christmas. It’s a cute little monkey that blows on your fingers to make your polish dry faster!

    One of my nails broke today so I decided to cut them all down a bit to even it out. I also filed them into a rounder shape but I definitely prefer them square.
