Summer favorites and haul

Hello my lovelies! August is over, which means a little recap is in order. I didn't do one of these posts for July, just because there wasn't much to show, so now I have two months worth of favorites and purchases to show you (hence the title). It's been quite a busy summer for me so nail art wasn't my priority. I didn't post much and the manicures I posted were quite simple. I did manage to gather a few favorites though so here they are.

July and August favorites

First off we have a very elegant vintage wallpaper manicure that I was absolutely in love with. In terms of Monday Blues, my favorites were the houndstooth gradient and the blue camouflage. Finally we have a very special mani swap I did with my friend Kinga, which resulted in this gorgeous rose nail art. I adore it!

These two months haven't been rich in terms of purchases but they have been better than the ones before them, especially because I was away and I always have to shop when I'm in a foreign country. I apologize for the quality of these pictures. They were mostly done on the go. I promise I will try to take better ones for future hauls. First off we have the Head2toe Beauty haul I did almost two months ago.

Color Club Look, Don't Tusk and Disco Dress, China Glaze Strawberry Fields, Sky High-Top,  Glistening Snow, Feel the Breeze and Be More Pacific

At the beginning of the month I was away on vacation in Italy and these are the beauties I brought back with me.

Kiko 466, 465, 520 and 663, Layla Ocean Rush and Sinful Colors Cinderella

The lovely people over at the Born Pretty Store sent a huge package of goodies my way as a gift. I already played with a few of these things and they will show up in future posts. I'm also running a Born Pretty Store giveaway currently on the blog so if you haven't entered you can do it here.

Finally, a little end of the month haul from the Beauty In The Bottle sale.

Essie No More Film, OPI Big Hair...Big Nails and Can't Find my Czechbook

That's it for Summer! I hope you all have a great month of September and a wonderful Autumn. And don't forget to enjoy every minute of this month because you won't even realize when it will go by!
