Artsy Wednesday: Inspired by the view from your window

The view from my window aside from the gardens and snow at the minute is my car, it sits at the front of the drive underneath my dressing room window and these are the nails which represent my ickle car:



This is the point I need to share the pic of my car isn't it?


This is an old picture because at the minute my car is a bit albino cos of the snow!

Products used:



Can I just give a little shout out to Brook St Mews at this point?  It's part of a range that Nails Inc brought out AGES ago... it's basically a polish which you don't need a base coat for, it never stains, coverage is amazing and I wish they would have them permanently because this in particular is a life saver.  You know when you're going out and you have the best intentions of getting ready and doing your nails and then time runs away with you and you're dressed (just about), your taxi is on it's way and ooops your nails have been neglected?  Well this saves that trauma.  Two coats of this as I'm about to leave, it dries in the taxi and is just generally amaze.  NAILS INC IF YOU'RE LISTENING... BRING THIS BACK PRETTY PLEASE!!!



St James is my favourite red EVER.  I adore it.  I've harped on about it before though so I'll just leave it there!

I've just realised by writing this post that my love for all things animal print has really got out of hand... even my car represents my love for it.  I have no shame.

Also, in other news, our Arsty Wednesday group members have dwindled down to just 8 of us so if any of you guys fancy joining us AW gals please get in touch and we can go from there.  It would be fab to have some new members :))
