Today brings the last manicure from the WAH Nails Book of Nail Art!!!
I find it amazing that I managed to see this through, patience is not my strongest trait...

The final look is called Double Studs -

The black is Barry M 47 Black and the gold studs I got off ebay for about £1.50.

I hope you've enjoyed this little saunter through The WAH Nails book as much as I have :-)

I'm going to go and give myself a pat on the back for completing the first challenge type thingy I've ever set myself!

See you next time,

Swatch: Chanel Beige

Today I have a swatch for you of the latest Chanel nail colour, Beige.

I must admit, when I first heard Chanel were bringing out a colour named Beige, I thought 'great, they've lost it.' 

But they haven't!

Here come the pictures - 






The colour is beautifully warm and neutral. And as you can see from the extreme (!) closeups (with flash) the subtle pink shimmer is one of those added details that always make Chanel polishes so special.

In the picture I have on three coats.

Once again, I am not disappointed!

Beige cost me £18 from Debenhams.

WAH Look #24 - Rhinestone Rain

First off, I'd just like to raise the terribly important point that today is.....
....MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Hurrah. Now, to business!

It's the penultimate mani from the WAH Nails book! How exciting! 

Today's nails are called Rhinestone Rain - 





I used Chanel May as my base colour. Then I added Barry M Silver glitter over the top. Bad news, the glitter was actually a limited edition but I am positive that other silver glitter polishes exist out there!

The look calls for three sizes of rhinestone, but since I actually only own two sizes, that's what I used...
I really liked these nails. Lots of fun, and I am a fan of texture, although, not fun to wash your hair with!!!!

Hope you like these, have a fabulous weekend, and I'll see you next week,

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As I hope you're all aware, October is the official Breast Cancer Awareness month!!

So, boys and girls, it's time to check ya boobs. And if you don't fancy it, get your fella to check 'em for you   ;-) Go to Breastcancercare.org.uk for more information.

Here are some pretty pink nails - 


I added Chanel Suspicious to the tips and to paint the ribbons, and then I used Barry M 273 Raspberry to create the shadows.

The base is Models own Northern Lights over Paul & Joe 026.
I swatched the Models Own Wonderland collection yesterday - HERE 

On a serious note, please will you all go and check your breasts!!
If you're worried, or unsure go to your GP straight away. And if you feel too embarrassed always remember, THEY'VE SEEN A WHOLE LOT WORSE THAN YOUR BOOBS!

I hope you like these nails, and I hope you all go for a good feel,

Wonderland, from the Models Own website.

"Five magical polishes ranging in gradients of subtle to dense glitter for a sophisticated grown-up glimmer. For a manicured finish use the iridescent shades to give an accent of glitter, or be brave and layer up the polish until it's opaque! Each polish gives a different nail finish from frosty to full on snowstorm!"

So what do we all think of Wonderland? I can't decide on a favourite! 

Hope you enjoy, and I'll see ya next time.
