October Nails

Never been one for a red nail, but I fell in love with this colour after my husband put in a request for me to have red nails! 

Little bit of gold tape really finished them off! 

Next I went for this gorgeous maroon, such a lovely autumn colour with a different accent nail. 

So happy with this set, I've already had loads of compliments and I've only had them a week! Still so shiney and pretty :) 

September Nails

This month I used a new nail technician and won't be changing again! Finally found someone I enjoy going to who did my nails exactly how I like them, hooray!

My nails were feeling a bit sad and a few had broken quite short, but I love how they look now! 

I chose 'Bubbilicious' for all but my ring finger, opting for 'Princess Pink' glitter dust as an accent nail. This is such a perfect pink! I've had so many comments in the week I've had it on my nails. 

If you're in the Solihull area I definitely recommend Belle's tips and toes, search belles_tips_toes on Instagram, or Facebook! Thanks Belle! 

Calgel Nails

I love having my nails done, before I had my daughter they were always painted perfectly, on maternity leave I would enjoy sitting quietly and taking my time to paint them. Definitely can't so that anymore! 

Amber is starting to ask for her toe nails to be painted (I can do my toes and I don't (usually) need those to go about my day!) so I have to be inconspicuous these days. 

I used to either have acrylic or shellac done. For our wedding I had calgel sculptured nails. My poor, usually long nails suffered the pre wedding stress! I had a simple, pretty French. 

Once they had grown out I went for a much brighter option...hot pink, glitter and hearts! 

As you can see my nails grew happily underneath, while the gel stayed looking perfect. So happy nails, and a happy mum! The time I spend having them done is mostly my only baby free time and is very much enjoyed. 

Just before holiday I had them done again, this time going for a peachy coral colour with diamantes and again, the glitter accent nail! 

They're at that crazy grown out point now, so I'm busy searching for what to have next! Too many pretty colours and ideas...
