Bonfire night nails and bargain lashes

Whilst snuggled up at home with the sound of pouring rain and fireworks outside, I decided to add some firework themed sparkle to my nails.  I'm not an expert at nail art, so rather than attempting to do something fancy I instead mixed up two of my favourite sparkly varnishes. Two coats of China Glaze C-C-Courage topped with a coat of OPI Designer Series in Original 003 (I think this is the name!) and I think these sum up fireworks night rather well, don't you?

On another note, after dropping my car off at Kwik Fit for what I thought was a simple service & MOT (turns out it needs a LOT of work!!) I trotted into town and had a browse in TK Maxx, where I spotted a stack of Ardell lashes, which you may know are my favourites.  They had lots of styles I haven't seen in Boots/Superdrug so whilst they were £2.99 I grabbed a few - Babies, Luckies, Sweeties and Demi - Luckies are definitely the top ones so far.  So if you are a fan of these...get yourself down to TK Maxx sharpish!

I'm off to our big fireworks display in the park tonight so let's hope the clear skies last!  Are you planning to wrap up warm, crack open the sparklers and hot chocolate tonight?
