Autumn Floral Tips

It feels like forever that I have written a blog post and not gonna lie, it's weird! Today felt like a good day to start up again as it's my birthday and a good time for a new start! For those of you that have followed Jo and I throughout the years you will know that we used to post every single day and kept this up for at least two years. Then life happened and before we knew it we hadn't posted in forever. Jo got married and is now expecting her first child and I am so so happy for her! And I hit thirty, had a nervous breakdown, and just went a bit MIA.

Sally Hansen Moisture Rehab

After the crazy cold winter we've been having in the UK, compounded by a week in the Alps my nails are in an absolutely shocking state. I struggle a lot with dry, thin and splitting nails which is only worsened by cold weather. Sally Hansen's brand new moisturising treatment could not have come at a better time!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

We had our work 'End of Summer Party' this week. End? What?! Summer can't be over yet, I'm not ready!! I figured that there has been a significant lack of summer or festival themed nails on the blog this year, so I should mark the 'end' of the season with something bright and fun. We just got our hands on this summer's new Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Superdrug exclusive shades - perfect!

Barry M and Boots Limited Edition Golden Sands

Now I finally feel like I have a grip on the wedding logistics I've finally got around to thinking about my beauty regime - a little late but oh well! What I really need to decide is what to do with my nails. As a nail blogger everyone has been asking me, and most people want to know if I'll be wearing nail art. I'm sorry to say that I won't be, although I secretly love the idea I don't want to look back on the photos in years to come and have any regrets. 

Sally Hansen Royal Spendlor Miracle Gel

I know I say it every time I post but we're so sorry we have been absent for the past few months. I have been completely wrapped up in wedding preparations but as there's only 3 weeks (eek!!) to go now I'm starting to see the light at the tunnel and am itching to get back into blogging. My nails are in awful shape after being neglected for so long so please be patient with me whilst I get them back up to standard! 

We were very excited to be welcomed into the Sally Hansen Insider Group recently, not just because they sent us flip flops with a cat face on!! Mainly because it gave us the perfect excuse to pull our finger out and get back into blogging. 

Easy Matte Pink Gem Nails with Pretty Up Front

Although we've not been posting very frequently this year, it doesn't mean we've stopped doing nail art. We've been busy working with Pretty Upfront on a new video for you which they posted a few weeks ago. A bit slow to get round to sharing it with you all here - oops!!

This video tutorial is super quick and simple but the design is a stunner. Soft matte pink nails with a cute gem designed inspired by the always gorgeous Rihanna! We love this look, and it's perfect for wedding season. 

Take a look and let us know what you think...

Love,

Florals for a French Wedding

Recently we received a gorgeous package of new summer gel polishes from Red Carpet Manicure. Their 'Escape to Paradise' collection is the perfect mix of brights, neons and pastels for your holidays! I already tried out Until the Sun-Sets* for my holiday to Portugal a few weeks ago. It's an absolutely stunning neon coral and was perfect! I have awful thin bendy nails so it did start to peel a little for me, but lasted a good 7-10 days before I couldn't resist peeling it off (naughty!) My Mum went for Frolic in the Sand* and hers lasted ages so that goes to show the benefits of looking after your nails!
