Whimsical Sunday

I believe that Sundays should always be light hearted and fanciful, and I deteste working on sundays. But little lucky me had the day off today :) and as I have to be on the ward at 06.45am (english time my lovelies) tomorrow morning, I did not want to have a strenous day.

Saturday involved shopping in the city nearest me (but sadly not London) with beau and the friends, which meant embarking on the department store which stocks my beloved OPI. 

I was unsuccessful in finding a wedding outfit, I may have to recycle a previous dress which saddens me, also do you think I could have a change of outfit half way throught the day for the reception, or is this me being shallow lol?

Anyway I did recieve a little present from the beau, which was an OPI polish :)
I will do some nail swatches for you on a day off I may have in the near future. I am already deciding on my next OPI purchases (wow I am so lame lol).
 
I am currently watching the re runs of Russell Howard's Good News, (In England Russell is a comedian) and have actually developed a crush for Mr Howard. Not my usual type, but I think every day with this guy would be a right laugh. 
 So Russell if your reading (which I doubt very much) hook me up yeah!? lol

Talk to you petals later

The spice of my life

Working as a nurse is a brilliant job, life long learning, respect and of course buliding a rapport with people everyday.
One of the downsides to working in the hospital is that we have to have toned down make up, and strictly no nail polish.........under no circumstances :( *tear*

So for OPI to release Hong Kong Collection I thought this was damn right unfair :-)

My nails and toenails have been crossed, dying for local department store to get them in stock sooner rather than later.Lucky Lucky Lavender was originally the first colour I had set my eyes on


All this changed when I quickly hurried into the department store, when I should have been sitting nicely and paying attention in a very tedious lecture.  Seeing the OPI stand made my regrets of skipping class just float away. 



Jade is the new black was the colour I decided to treat myself, as it caught my eye. And whos knows if I play my cards right the beau will buy me a few more this weekend when we embark on a magical shopping adventure, mainly because I need an outfit for the beau's cousins wedding, perhaps an OPI to match my outfit?

What colour should I sport for the wedding?

Wishlist: February

Hello Petals,

As you can tell, I have quite a bit of free time on my hands. My neice jessica is 11 months old and is keeping herslef amused with her activity table and America's Next Top Model.............ok thats on for my amusement, but she loves it too so everyone is happy :)

At the moment in the sparkly world beauty and fashion there is so much I want, but as usual with my student wages I can not afford everything that I want. TYPICAL!

Valentines day is on its way round, maybe I could treat myself, or be treated ;-p
Marc Jacobs Lola
 
This as well as Nina Ricci's Ricci Ricci, was on my Christmas List, but Santa decided Nina Ricci would be more deserving. So I am still eagerly waiting for this................Valentines Day anyone!?
