Festive Nails!

Hello!  I feel like I haven't posted on here in sooo long!  I'm not even sure why?  I've just been  busy working and applying for jobs and stuff, not really had any motivation for blogging sadly!  

I've kind of decided what I would like to do as a career if possible.  I'd like to get into merchandising; they are the ones who work out how much stock goes where, and when to run promotions and markdowns going by the sales figures etc.  I have a background in maths and also in retail so it seems like something I can do!  Unfortunately most head offices are in London which would mean moving away from home but I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for something like that yet!  I have found one vacancy in Scotland so we shall see...  If anyone knows of any head offices that are in Scotland please let me know so I can investigate haha!

Never mind blogging, I've not actually painted my nails in over a month, it's shocking!  I actually felt like a 3 year old when I was doing it, I'm so out of practice... Also my nails are such a mess at the moment but never mind, at least now they look kind of cute and Christmassy.

I've used Nails Inc Victoria & Albert as the red underneath (only needed one coat!) with Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow over the top.  There are smaller gold particles which are much more visible in person and give it a nice shimmer.

PS do you like my Christmas duvet set?  I got it from Primark - love it!

NOTD: Bad Romance

This polish is Bad Romance by Deborah Lippmann, I got it in February to go with an outfit for my friend's wedding (click here to see my make up).  However I don't think I like it anymore... I think it's a bit dark for me, I seem to have gone off dark colours now which is not very seasonal of me haha.

I have now realised that the tip wear is caused by Seche Vite which shrinks the nail varnish - you learn something new everyday!!  I painted them at night then took photos the following evening and you can see how bad the ends are.  I've only noticed it with a few polishes but it's certainly a downside of using Seche Vite.

Also I think Seche Vite are cruelty free, which would be really good.  They are owned by the same people as Zoya who are, but I'm not 100% sure yet and will let you know as soon as I find out!

What do you think of this colour?  Maybe I will add it to my blog sale...
