Nail Catch Up Part 1: Aug-Dec '13

Like I said in my previous post it's been a long year and even though I've not been blogging I've still been playing with my nails! So here's catch-up Part 1: a round-up of what I did throughout August to December 2013...

1. Matte crazy...

Last summer I finally invested in a matte top coat in the form of China Glaze 'Matte Magic' and naturally I went matte crazy! This is just a sample of what I mattified in 2013. My favourite look is the Chanel 'Blue Satin' matte manicure (top right).

Daisy daisy...

...give me your answer, do.
I'm half crazy,
 all for the love of you.


So I thought I'd start the relaunch of my blog by sharing my current favourite look with you through the art of a tutorial! 


My current obsession is definitely daisies. I've always been in love with 90s grunge fashion: teaming floral prints, romantic laces, and floaty dresses with big boots and jackets or chunky knit cardigans. One of the dominating prints of this style is the daisy and I've been going mad for it in dresses, skirts, jewellery, and now nails!

So how can you achieve this look? Let's find out...

It's been a long long time...

...but Charbop is back!

About a year ago I wrote my last blog post fully intending to continue but unfortunately life got a little in the way and I had to take a hiatus until I finished the year at Uni. BUT I'm back with more nail art, more reviews, and more ramblings for your reading pleasure! 

Just because I've not been blogging doesn't mean the nail art has stopped and I will be catching you up on some of the best of what I've done over the past year! And of course 12 months is a long time so my nail and beauty collection may or may not have expanded ridiculously... >.> so enjoy a whole heap of reviews coming up in the next few weeks.

So that's about it really! As always I'd love to hear from you guys so leave comments and questions in the comments section below. I'd love to hear any tips, tricks, or nail art ideas you have so be my inspiration and come say hi :D
