a Cornish Wednesday.

I had a day off today (so glad, sick of work at the moment) and I had lots to do so I was up out of bed and showered super early ready to start my day!

First off was collecting my grandmother from the care home she is at for respite and take her to a day centre. It was better than I imagined, a wonderful environment for older people who need a bit of company and stimulation in their life so I was really happy with that!

Next, I drove down the A30 to Penzance to see my sister and nephew Harry. What a lovely afternoon we had, I am so happy spending time with them. She is my best friend and we are so close, we have such giggles! Highlights of the afternoon were having a clothes and make up swap & Harry doing a poop on the bathroom floor! We were in stitches :-)

Then I went home to my fiancé and haw a lovely dinner and a chilled night in front of the TV.

The photo below is 'dim sum plum' by OPI on my nails that I did last night. I've had this for a while and recently re discovered it-fab for autumn!

And PS-check out the weather this week! So depressing :( I LOVE autumn and winter but hate rain!

bikini so teeny.

Isn't this just the most lovely nail colour? Another new one for me from Essie, bikini so teeny (as well as having the sweetest name ever) is a gorgeous pastely sky blue. The consistency is brill and with two coats give excellent coverage. I've had so many compliments on this already and although I think it's more of a summery colour, I will get a lot of use out of this! I've had it on for 4 days now (with no topcoat-I forgot!) and only a couple of chips have a appeared.

I bought mine from eBay for £7.50 but you can pick it up on several different online shops.

cute as a button.

Today's nails of the day is a new purchase. I've recently bought three new Essie polishes and live them all. Today it was time to try the infamous 'Cute as a Button' a creamy pink orange. Verdict; I love it!

NOTD: Nails Inc 'Chelsea Square'

I'm not one for glittery nail polishes usually, it looks too 'messy'. But when doing a bit of online window shopping I could not stop looking at the Nails Inc 'Vintage Rose Collection'. A trio of pinky polishes, a collection beautiful enough to make any beauty-junkie go 'ooooooooh!'.

Vintage Rose Collection £19.14 from QVC

Bruton Street is a dusky pink shade, subtle but very beautiful. No shimmer or glitter in this shade.

Chelsea Square is one of Nails Inc 3D Glitter shades. The most dense glitter polish I've ever seen and in a gorgeous mid-pink shade.

Brompton X is a shimmery baby pink colour; my least favourite in the collection, but my opinion could change once its on my nails!

First up to try was, of course, Chelsea Square. I couldn't wait to try this baby out! But unfortunately my excitement was short lived. Firstly, the formulation was very gloopy, I understand that its glitter polish so it's never gonna be a smooth consistency but I just found it really hard to apply. And secondly, the time it takes to dry is about 4 times as long as any other nail polish! I got so bored waiting for it to dry.

Overal, I'm not really impressed with this polish. Although I'm not too bothered as I'm not a glittery nail polish person. 

Here's what it looks like on my nails...

I used OPI's Nail Envy as a base coat and treatment, Then 2 coats of the Chealsea Square. Followed by a coat of my all-time favourite top coat; Seche Vite.

3D Glitter polishes-worth all the hype? I don't think so! But looking forward to testing out Bruton Street. Review to follow.
