    Nail Art Review | Academy of Colour

    Today is my day off so what better excuse than to get the nail polishes out & create pretty nails?

    Just after Christmas I spent a mere £5.96 in the sale on 4 packs of 3d nail art kits. I don’t normally like to buy cheaper versions of nail polish because I like to make sure it lasts longer than few hours before it chips. But on this occasion I thought I would throw caution to the wind & buy something “fun”.

    I wanted to create a very dark but glamorous look. So I decided to combine two different sets. I painted four nails black & it actually went on very well. It was easy to apply which is the main thing that makes doing my nails enjoyable. I blame my left handedness for the many mistakes I make when painting my nails! This has to be one of the nicest polishes I’ve used in a long time. On each hand I went with the 3d gold balls on the fourth finger to complete the look.

    Overall I loved playing around with this kit & would not hesitate in recommending it to others!

  • The obligatory round-up of 2013!

    2013 you have most definitely been an interesting one. I’ve seen quite a lot of things this year, some beautiful & some not so kind. I can certainly say (as cliché as it may sound) one helluva rollercoaster.

    January is always a tough one for me, I work every hour god sends and work full weekends to keep on top of the travelling wanderlusters. It is always our busiest time of the year for holiday bookings and this year was no exception. January feels a lifetime ago now that this year is nearly over & done with. Nothing exciting ever happens except for our annual meal out for my Mama’s birthday which was always a lovely affair. This year was no exception & we enjoyed a meal at our favourite pub www.thefoxandhoundswalton.com where the food is always delicious. If you are in the area I highly recommend it, so much so, we have asked them to do the catering for our impending wedding day! We also booked our wedding day with the Church & we couldn’t have been happier that everything was set in stone for what will be our most magical day.

    February is again, a very slow month for us. I still end up working weekends. Whilst February is the month of love, James & I are never ones for celebrating Valentines Day (We are Vday Scrooges!) we actually went all out & I created a steak dinner with a baked cake delight for pudding. He did the obligatory flowers & prosecco which certainly did not disappoint.

    March I lived for my week off in March. End. March sadly saw my Grandads first illness and was in hospital for a week or so. I’d never seen my Grandad ill so it was really hard to take it in, luckily he was home but there was a huge difference in him. I only hoped that he would get back to himself very soon. (more…)
