Lunchtime nails is gonna be BIG!!!
I'm really working hard building up my new business 'Lunchtime nails'...
Here's a copy of my new flyer
Big Eyes, Little Soles
One of my closest friends Yanina blogged about me today, which i couldn't thank her more for but obviously returning the favour.
Although our blogs are completely different i still love hers just as much as i love her.
Most of her blogs are about her crazy sneaker fetish...why not...they're hot right! But there are snippets of other topics in their (now including Lunchtime nails).
Here's a sneak preview...but make sure you go check it out!
Nike, why must you taunt me with such amazing Blazer releases, when I have no dollar!
Wow, is all I can say..
I present you with the Nike Blazer Hi Vintage Spice/Sail..
The spice suede upper may clash with my hair, but still is vibrant and looks good enough to eat.
A plus is that they would look amazing with denim.. perfect!
I believe they’re only available in USA, but I’m sure sourcing them won’t be too difficult..
I’m definitely going to try!
See more of my Want of The Week here..

Keeping with the trends!
I love my Gelish soak off gel product - its incredible! When i am having to do clients everyday my nails were just getting ruined and never looked perfect for my clients, which gave me a bad look. So being able to use Gelish i have perfect nails ALL the time!
Not only that but i like to keep on trend... i always keep myself up to date with the beauty pages in magazines and all the different blogs such as Grazia daily.
One of the trends i heard about a while ago was having your thumbs a different colour to the rest of your nails as we use our thumbs when were on our mobile phones. So i incorporated that with my Gelish products....
LOVE IT <3

The Katy Perry Collection by OPI
Very excited as i love O.P.I nail products and i love Katy Perry... what do you get when you mix the two together... The Katy Perry Collection by OPI!!!!!!
I don't know when the polishes will be coming out, but i will be first in line when they do...check them out!
Colours include - in order Teenage Dream, Not like the movies, Last Friday Night and The One That Got Away!
Black Shatter at the end is probably the most exciting...but just like the Barry M Instant Nail Effects, you apply the black over your nail polish once its dry and it cracks to give a really cool effect!!!
Check out the Barry M polish on their website http://www.barrym.com/make-up-tutorials/video-tutorial.asp?vid=107

Burlesque
I have been very slack with my posts recently, been busy working etc...
Got very excited about receiving my GELISH products and have started using them, so far they are coming out amazing and i am hoping people love them as much as i do!
One of the beautiful Gelish colours :-)
Im in the process of building up a portfolio of photos to get some inspiration in nail art designs...
I also went to the 'Olympia Beauty Show' which i found really disappointing, but i always get very excited to have a look at the new O.P.I winter colours. The collection is called Burlesque and has a mixture of shimmers and glitters. To start off i bought two of the new glitters...
'Show it and Glow it'
( much more pink than it shows )
'Sparkle-icious'

Its a new GELeration!
Soooo...i am very excited as i just placed my order for the new GELISH - Soak off Gel Polish by Nail Harmony.
There the next big thing...if you have heard of Shellac by CND then you will know exactly what i'm talking about because there pretty much the same.
http://www.nailharmony.com
And these are ones done earlier....
I was so impressed seeing them...they have such a nice gel finish but without the weight of a normal gel and takes no time to do them, so i am very excited about getting these out there, and also doing some nail art with them :-)

WELCOME TO ME!
Hey Guys
This is my very first blog post and ahhhh im scared, but excited!
Now...i guess you've already figured this is a blog about nails...but i will make it a lil different as there are so many out there, and i'm going to introduce everything that inspires me or just things that i love...and then obviously my love for nails.
This is quite a new love for me but as time goes on I LOVE NAILS even more.
Just a lil about me...
Im 21 and live in London (sounds better than it is) but im still pretty proud!
I always loved art at school..but walked away from it to start a career in beauty, which i have been doing for like 3 years now!
I've decided over time my biggest passion in the industry is nails, and i am constantly researching everything nail related. One blog i LOVE at the moment is 'Laquerized' so everyone check it out.
I'm also a big lover of everything O.P.I and wish i could have every single nail polish of theres...
Now... as everyone knows nail art is becoming more and more popular, especially as it is being seen on fashion magazines, celebrities etcc...and i don't think there is anyone better than 'WAH NAILS' and i am just a little bit obsessed. Also 'MINX' nails, easy answer to nail art but so amazing and so effective.. i had the metallic cheetah design on my toes in the summer and loved it <3
Everyone is trying out nail art now and its my turn to try..so i have just bought myself 'nubar' nail art pens, and also 'Konad' nail art plate, so watch out for nail art images :-)
'WAH nails' - obsessed (http://wah-nails.com/)
'MINX nails' - amazing! (http://wah-nails.com/tagged/minx/page/)
'nubar' nail art pens
'Konad' nail art plate
There's a lot more i could tell you about me...but to be honest i don't think its relevant right now, and you will learn more about me as my posts continue.
So thanks for reading and i hope you are as excited about my blog as i am... going to leave you now with an image of a few things that i love.
xoxo
