Okay so, it’s currently 01.46am and I’m listening to Gangnam Style VERY loud and sipping a hot cup of tea, what could be better? I thought it was probably about time I updated my blog… at last! I’ve actually set myself a goal to write a blog post every two days as part of a personal development plan which has really helped me get back on my feet. If you’re interested, ask me more in the comments!

Before I start, I wanted to give my Tiny Granny a quick mention, she sadly passed away last Sunday morning after cancer overcame her body, but it seemed a peaceful end so for that I am grateful. Sending her all my love.

I actually created this design in September, while I was doing the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge (which I accidentally forgot read:failed to keep up with!), so apologies that this rather summery design comes to you mid-winter…! So here is day 14: flowers, finally!

Day 6 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge! Day 6 is violet. For my birthday last month my Andy kindly took me shopping in Reading. Of course nail polish was at the top of my list. We went into Boots (which was pretty huge and amazing!) and I found an entire counter dedicated to Revlon nail polish – heaven! I saw the Revlon French Mix polishes and just had to buy one… I chose All The Rage, a green and a purple polish. I’ve always loved how bright green and purple look together so this one was perfect.

The basic idea of the French Mix polishes is that there are two polishes (each contained in a small bottle at either end of the stick) which can be used together to create an accent nail, and more importantly, an ‘alternative French Manicure’. This pushed all the right buttons for me and despite the rather hefty price tag (£7.99) and the rather small bottles I had to buy it, if only to see whether the idea was effective.

Day 5 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge and I’ve finally caught back up! Day 5 is blue, so here I have a pretty blue glitter which has been around for a long time in the US, a lesser amount of time in the UK: it initially came out a few months back with the 80th Anniversary line but was mostly stocked only in large Boots stores, but it’s now hitting Superdrug shelves and some of the smaller Boots shops too.

Here is day 3 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge (late, still! … I am trying to get back on track!) and day 3 is yellow! Yellow is not a colour I usually wear as it tends to look a little insipid on my skin tone but I really like this shade of yellow, and kept it on for 2 days in the end. It’s kind of an egg-yolky colour, which is my favourite yellow shade.

Rachel-Karina at Polished Criminails has set up a “30 Days of Untrieds Challenge“, in which the idea is that you post a new manicure (using the set theme of the day) every day for 30 days, each one using at least one ‘untried’ polish. The theme today (1st September) is red. I am a little late posting this as I completely forgot it was September already…!
