Goodbye October, It Was Nice Knowing You

  
So today is the last day for pink manicures for Breast Cancer Awareness. Tomorrow is Halloween and I have a special mani for that one. 

This manicure was much nicer in the flesh than it looks in the picture. No17 Miami is something I have had fora  long time. It is a lovely colour and goes on well. Infact, its a one coater. On top I put a wonderful coat of Picture Polish Festival which is a mixture of beautiful pretty creamy sparkles which go multi coloured when they catch the light. One of those polishes that you have to look at all day long.

Suppose this reflects my mood aswell. I am happier, I feel more sorted and know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am just looking for an overnight break for us somewhere amazing, somewhere in Europe. Travel makes the heart go boo boom.

Breast Cancer Awareness Bites Back


It has popped back with a vengeance today, and my stamping skills had to come to the fore. I used No17 Pinking Sheer as the base, and Barry M Gelly in Pomegranate as the stamping colour. 

Pomegranate stamps as well as any other stamping polish out there, and DRK-A plate for the stamp. I think it looks lovely. Pity I didn't start wearing it at the beginning of the summer as the sun might not have been scared so far away!

Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? No its ANOTHER pink manicure!


Before we start, can I admit I adore this mani? The No17 polish is something I have had for a long time, its called 'Love' and it was here before my long term polish addiction started. I have had it about 18 months and it needed a bit of seche restore, but, it was as good as new and the application is wonderful.

The top coat is China Glaze 'Luxe and Lush' from the Hunger Games collection. I didn't buy any of this collection originally, but I was tipped off to them being on sale at Sallys by someone on the forum and that was that. 8 of the babies were mine. I am SO pleased I got this top coat. It is lush, it looks like little bit of mirrors which are chipped up and dropped into polish. So pretty I could eat it all up!

Tomorrow will be a hard day. Master Dobbert the cockapoo is due to have the snip to prevent him being a baby daddy ( and to stop him humping my sisters leg). However, I am having kittens at leaving him and I am bound to spend the whole day worrying until he is back home again. Wish me luck ladies, its going to be a rough one.
