Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Number 1 - Valentines!

Happy Valentines Day!

 Or in our case - Happy Steak Day!

This is my first entry for The Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge - valentines/love. Unfortunately this didn't survive my procrastination cleaning - you know, where you're like 'I am definitely going to get this work done but first I'm going to beeswax the furniture and alphabetise my DVDs'? I didn't feel like being all pink and girly (although I have LOVED the pink and girly nails I've been seeing) so I did something a bit grungy instead. Pink and grey is pretty much the combo I love most - so here is my valentines mani!






Here's what I used:
Sally Hansen No Chip Base Coat
China Glaze - It's Alive!
Chick Nails - Gr8 Grey Owl
China Glaze - Purple Panic (I know it's CALLED purple panic but to my eyes it's definitely pink!)
a-england - Excalibur (for the stamping) 
Seche Vite

Me and my boyfriend are so similar to eachother. We're into pretty much the same things and as such, all presents we buy eachother are presents that we'd want for ourselves too! This is what I got him for Valentines (steak) day:


YEAHHH! Mick Foley's greatest hits and misses! And here's what he got me:



YAYYYY!!!! I still haven't seen this so I'm excited. That makes my Ghibli collection up to date! Hoorah!

I hope you guys have had a great day, whether you're in a relationship or not :)

Thanks for reading

    1. Doesn't it?! It looks so sophisticated with silver stamping! It's so grungy without it :) I love it either way though.
