Beauxoxo review and 3 manis!

Georgie, who writes So Full of Twilight Dreams that Glitter has a fucking adorable Etsy shop where she sells the cutest hairbows. I've been eyeing them up for a while, so when she blogged that, in honour of her one year blogaversary (preeetty sure that's a word) all her followers could get a free gift, I thought it would be rude not to! (Clicky to find out how.)

Tempted as I was by the cupcake bows this is what I snapped up: The guitar and the heart bow were my purchases and the blue bow clip and the glittery ladybird were my free gifts:



The bows I purchased were both love at firs sight, and lucky ol' me, the heart bow was on sale for just $3! The guitar bow was $5.90 and the UK shipping was very reasonable - these things are a steal. They seem to be really well made, too, I can't wait to wear them :D They both came wrapped in cute pink tissue paper and I think that the business card and the HK note from Georgie are really sweet touches. Her customer service is awesome, too! She emailed me to check my address, both on Etsy and regular email, because I had one on Etsy and a different one on Paypal, and I got my goodies the day after she sent them. So big thumbs up for beauxoxo!


Sorry that was totally non-make up related, I just think its really important to spread the word about great customer service and cute stuff!

So now some manis:



Little strawberries! These were my boyfriends idea. Cute from far away, but up close they remind me more of this:



Oh well. So then I had to cut my nails because my peelies were despicable, so I did...



...Big strawberries! Super simple and I got lots of compliments.


And then using my new 'fauxnad' I made this mani with LA Colours... er, silver one and Barry M Racing Green which I adore:



A little tricky to get the hand of, but I've been practicing on my Mum and sister and I'm getting there.

Have a nice day y'all!
