Half Term and Hauling

Sigh, half term is over :(

But I genuinely needed that break. I guess it was because I just needed time to recover. Life can really take over, make you lose control and just totally tire you out!

BUT, that's not to say I was just sat at home sleeping. Oh no, far from it.  To be honest I don't even feel refreshed if I do that... Just even more tired! Actually, I was only home for two out of ten days.

The first weekend I was at my friends sleepover, that I've already told you about. Then on Sunday I went to Trafalgar Square to see Diwali on the Square. It was actually really good! Monday I was at home then on Tuesday I was off to my aunt/cousins house until Thursday to see them and their two daughters, who might I add are sooo cute and adorable! While there I went to a kids Halloween party on Wednesday where I did face painting. It was actually so crazy but still cool. And then on Friday I went off to my grandparents house with my mum to see them and my (slightly mad) cousins. Monday was only my second day at home. Soooo, in between all of that I had to get coursework, homework and (of course) shopping done! It was a busy week! But totally amazing!

I've already told you I went shopping... So what did I buy?

Well... A LOT!

Oops!

So here it is. (okay this is only about a third of it. It's the only spree I took a photo of... Imagine triple this amount and you'll probably start getting and idea of the amount I actually somehow managed to accumulate.)

And of course here's the polish:

Free Nails Inc

Okay that looks really bad! I feel kinda guilty now. :S

I actually got quite a lot of clothes for a change... Hmm maybe the clothes obsession is starting to kick its way back in..?

Ah well.. The next time I'm probably gonna go on a shopping trip/s like this will most likely be after Christmas so I guess that kind of in a way justifies this huge haul??

Anyway, I've been back to school since tuesday and I'm already ill so I've been stuck in bed yesterday and today :/

31 Days of Nail Art Challenge - Day 1 - Red

Red.

A colour that i used to hate simply because it was the only colour that I used to wear on my nails. It was only because that was all my mum had, she wasn't big on cosmetics (still isn't), and I think it may be an Asian/Indian thing but red was the only 'suitable' nail colour.

Oh well, we have kissed and made up now and I've started appreciating it again.

Sooo... What have got on for red nails??

China Glaze Ruby Pumps!
Ah I love this polish!

And because today is Guy Fawkes Night I went for a themed mani.

Fireworks!

Although I think this looks more Christmassy to be honest...

These are the polishes i used:

And don't forget to check out what Stephanie and Wendy have created this week!

31 Day Nail Art Challenge.... Is here!

So I finally decided to go for it!

Starting on Monday for the next 31 weeks...

... Stephanie of Never mind suzi, Wendy of Wendy's delights and I (and anyone else who wants to take part, just let me know) will be taking on the 31 Day Challenge!

Instead of posting daily, which we all agreed would be too much, we're going to be posting once a week. This also gives us time to get on with other things, blog related or not.

Hopefully we all come up with some awesome manis, have fun and maybe even learn something new!

Feel free to join in too! (and add a link to your post so I check out you fabulous work too!)
