Esta Noche

Words cannot say how obsessed I have become with Azealia Banks, I adore her. There's something about her voice, and she is just sublime on 1991 in my opinion, its like a mixture of the female artists I loved as a teen: Aaliyah, Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, to name a few. There haven't been many great female rap artists and although Azealia has said she would like to move away from that scene, I feel its her appeal, the ease with which she is able to switch between rapping and singing. Esta Noche is from her Fantasea mixtape and means this night in Spanish, which translates as tonight in English. I do love learning other languages words :)  

Onto my nails, I had a craving (yes a nail colour one, very odd) to wear hot pink. Autumn has definitely arrived and I love moving into deeper, richer and darker tones on my nails. When I want to wear a colour I have to do it, its very strange, like a food craving, it doesn't go away. I also didn't want just plain pink nails so opted for a gold crackle effect.

I am eagerly awaiting the postman to bring my Models Own order, I was so excited for the half price sale. Like a fool, I raced home, filled my basket, then got distracted and when I went to pay later my basket had reset itself and emptied, and some of the polishes I really wanted had sold out! You win some you lose some. 

What's on your nails this week?

National Anthem

Two reasons for the name of this post. Firstly because the British National Anthem has been played quite a lot in recent days with our haul of gold medals at the London 2012 Olympics. Secondly I LOVE Lana Del Ray's track of the same name. I love it so much its made me highly curious about Jackie O and JF Kennedy as her music video is about their marriage. So amazing.

Anyway this week's nails look like this: 

 I haven't had time over a hectic last few weeks to do anything except paint my nails all the same colour. This week I decided to go for multi colour nails with a crackle. I wanted something bright and summery so went for this. I love the results!

I used: Barry M 290 Spring Green, 305 Flamingo Pink, 294 Cyan Blue and 321 Gold Glitter Nail Effects

Just over a week until I go away for a weekend with my boy. Words can't describe how excited I am. I started writing lists today of what to pack, what I still need to buy and all the bits I need to get into order before I leave. I can't believe the Olympics finishes this weekend, it'll be so weird not seeing stuff about it online, facebook, twitter, tv and hearing about it on the radio. Its amazing the talent we have for this country and I am so proud of Team GB for all the medals and performances they've shown us.
