Halloween inspired nails...

Well hello again,

Fancy seeing you guys here so soon after my last post...!What can I say though, my brain has been working overtime so I thought "What the heck...one more post won't hurt"!
Now my nail art skills are not the most advanced in the beauty blogger community however I am trying to develop them as I go along. Some of my past attempts can be found HERE and HERE). 
Without further ado here are my designs for Halloween...:)

                                                                Getting ready...

I used all sorts of colours and techniques and as with most tasks there was a lot of trial and error...

However, one polish that is worth mentioning in this post is a recent purchase of mine and it is the Glow in the Dark nail varnish by American Apparel in the colour Moon. 

My inspiration for the nails was ,of course, halloween and in particular my favourite Halloween/Christmas film which is Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I also drew a lot of inspiration from designs on the internet.

The designs are not 100% accurate of course but I did give it my best try so I hope you like them :) 

I also tried to take a picture of the nails "in action"(glowing in the dark :p)

It is blurry but thankfully some of the designs are still visible. 

What are your plans for this Halloween?

What's in my shower/tub.

Hello and welcome back guys...
I am trying to get back on my blogging schedule which means I will be trying to write two posts during the week and a "Random Post Sunday" on......SUNDAYS! :p

Now, I have been cleaning out every single nook and cranny of my room and bathroom these days.
And since I am happy with the products that are in my bath (since I have a tub and not a shower) at the moment I thought I should do this post before I start hoarding products again.

This is my tub...with some non-slip smurfs...yep I am aware of my age :P

On the right, between the jacuzzi button thingies I have a shell with my sign carved in it. I think it makes my tub less dull. And, of course, a loofah hangs from the tap because I girl has got to exfoliate. 

I am still looking for the perfect placement of my products however this set up will have to do for now.

And here is a close-up of all the products that are currently in my tub.

On the foreground from left to right: 

L'oreal Mythic oil hair mask

Tiny loofah

Soap and Glory "Scrub 'em and Leave 'em" body scrub

L'oreal Ideal Fresh Foaming Facial Wash

In the metal basket from left to right:

Wilkinson's quatro razor 

Head and Shoulders "Classic Clean" shampoo

Foot file rasp

Organix Coconut milk conditioner

Lush Snow Fairy shower gel

Yves Rocher Apricot Gommage Gourmand

L'oreal Mythic Oil Shampoo

L'oreal Elvive Keratine Conditioner and Shampoo

Aaaand these are all the products I currently have in my tub. 

I didn't plan to give my opinion on any of these products however I would be happy to answer any questions in the comments ;)

 I have, also, been putting together an empties post since I have a few items that I would like to show you. However this will be up in a couple of weeks since I have several products about to run out.

Let me know if you like this post and please give me some suggestions on future posts that you'd like to see.
