Oh yea... That's hot you say?!

This week's nail colour of choice is OPI's "That's Hot! Pink" With a China Glaze silver shatter over the top!
I really like the OPI nail range, and when I saw this little mini brights collection on sale in my local Salon Services I couldn't resist. The bottles are so small and cute and the colours just pop out at you!


I already had the OPI silver shatter in my basket, but the assistant on the till mentioned that she thought the china glaze one looked better on your nails, so I swapped them over. I think they look lovely...


I also promised yesterday that I would update you on how my hair went last night... well I was really pleased with the results.
Check out my before and after...


New Hair Colour... with my goofy before face :S
 It's nothing to drastically different to be fair, but I'm really fussy with my hair, I like very thin strands for my highlights and as close to the roots as possible so I get my money's worth and don't need to go back to the hirdressers too often!
So my new hairdresser officially gets my seal of approval that much I have even offered to help her design her leaflets & price list!

So time to get get creative! :D

Green finger...Nails!

I wish I was actually green fingered, unfortunately most green things I try to grow die a miserable horrible death, also known as "my mummy forgot about me".

The only exception to that case has been some strawberry plants that I bought this year. I managed to keep them alive long enough to get about two strawberries from each plant, before the summer drastically ended and the horrible torrential rain that came mid July, dashing our hopes of a nice long summer, also drowned my poor little strawberry plants!

But who needs plants when you can have nails like mine!? 



This was how I spent half my lunch hour this afternoon, yip I really did paint my nails. My colleague got an order from e.l.f and it included the lovely colour Teal Blue. I volunteered to test it for her, just in case it was faulty and made her fingers fall off! The colour was lovely a really nice jade green rich colour! Although I think it lasted all of 8 hours before it chipped and I started to pick at it subconsciously, meaning I'll now have to redo my nails for my night out tomorrow! :(

Since I was feeling a little green fingered, I made the most of it! For dinner I had some lovely broccoli, mange tout, asparagus, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms all mixed with some chopped chicken, spaghetti pasta and a carbonara sauce! I took some nice pictures while I was preparing to cook as I was waiting on my sister coming to my house for dinner, unfortunately though once it was ready and on my plate, I was halfway through when I though “Oh Paula!! A nice little final dish photo would have been a good idea!”
So my prep photos will just need to do!



 
It was a really nice dinner. I really like it when you grab some random ingredients and throw them together and it works out nicely! I had a couple (ok maybe more than a couple) of blunders where I’ve thought ingredients would go nice together and it turned out horribly, and I turned out hungry!

OK... I’m off to take off what’s left of my lovely green nails and pick an outfit and new nail colour to go with it for my wee night out tomorrow with my work!

Take Care
