Bohemian Birds // Dark Blue & Gold Bird Feather Design

Oh my god, what happened to October? I blinked and it's gone and I only did 1 Halloween look...cue the see no evil monkey emoji; 🙈.

I won't lie though, I barely did any nail art last month mainly due to work and just overall lack of motivation to do anything really. It's harder than I thought, moving away from everyone and everything that you know so well and you've just gotta get on with it. When I was younger, I moved to Dubai to work for Emirates and it was very different as I was 22, and we were all in the same boat (or plane) in that we were single girls, ready to party and surrounded by lots of great things to do. Here, even though I'm in the same country as my family again (just a 3 hour drive away) it's even lonelier because everyone I work with is married with kids and there is nothing around for miles and miles. I program at work, go home, program at home, watch Minecraft videos and sleep...rinse repeat. I love doing my nails though but I'm starting to become overwhelmed with all the different things I could do thanks to my inability to stop buying nail products so I think I'm going to do a no nail spend November...it's going to be so hard...especially if MoYou release a new collection and you just know they're going to.

Anyway, these nails are inspired by a shower gel I bought from TK Maxx by a brand called Sara Miller. I honestly thought it was one of TK's in house brands however you can buy this shower gel at John Lewis for £15!

It smells wonderful though and lathers into a thick and creamy foam. I'm super impressed and I'll keep my eye out for other things by Sara Miller now. I'd love to make some nail oil in this scent though. I already have the vanilla but just need to invest in some good Tuberose and Sandalwood essential oil.

Polishes/Tools Used:-

- Jessica // Bohemian Rhapsody (dark blue)
- Barry M Liquid Chrome // Bright Lights (gold metallic)

- Essie // Platinum Grade Top Coat
- Harunouta Plate // ?? ( I can't remember right now)
- MoYou London Plate // Princess 04

Look Fantastic September 2019 Nails // Green & Gold Chevron Design

Oh it took me a hot minute to do these, but there is also a video *gasp*. This look was insanely easy and took me about 20 minutes, I've just been seriously procrastinating everything this month. But I'm hoping to get back on track for October and finally start doing stuff for my YouTube which has just been sitting there since I created it.

Anyway, this months LF box was amazing but it wasn't awful either. It was saved by the decent sized Caudalie eye cream and an eyebrow pencil that is actually good. But the two bath products are a miss because I never use the bath (#teamShower) and another cleanser. I have too many cleansers, it's insane.

The box art is nowhere near as nice as the pastel watercolour design from last year ( I can't believe the blog is a year old already!) but the design is nice and easy to stick on your nails. I was tempted to watermarble this design, however I would have spectacularly messed it up so I used a stamping plate.
