Birthday Manicure

It's my birthday! Today I turned 29. All around me, people have been turning 30 for the last couple of years. Now I'm the last to go and I'm at the point where I actually wish today had been 30 so it was over and done with! Anyhoos, I had been hoping that a sight such as this would have greeted me this morning, but it seems my hubby is determined to keep my life puppy free...

As a consolation prize, I took myself off to Preen Beauty, my favourite salon in the city for a BioScultpure gel manicure. I'd plumped for a french, still shunning the brights & darks of winter, but remembered last time I was there talking to one of the girls about a greige called 'fudge'. So I went for that instead. Remind anyone of Chanel Particuliere ?! It's lovely, isn't it?

So this will last 2 weeks, no chipping, flaking or peeling. Such a treat!
