epic 30 day catch up

Day 5 - things you want to say to an ex

I don't - how fab is that!!

#6 Your views on mainstream music
 
ngl, I'm more of an indie fan, but everynow and then I won't say no to a bit of pop... but you won't really find it on my iTunes... except for a bit of Kylie ♥
however, I HAAATE processed, X-factor etc music. I just hate hate hate it. agh.
 
#7 Five pet peeves
 
1 - odd numbers.
bit weird, but I really, really can't stand odd numbers. I used to be quite OCD cause i never really used to eat anything and that kiiindaaa makes you crazy! most of it's gone now but odd numbers still get to me...
 
2 - poor spelling.
again, this is an OCD leftover. despite the fact that before year 9 when i literally sat, read and memorised a million spellings, i couldn't spell a thing... i can't stand poor spelling/grammar (took english language a year early ;L) so yeah. don't do it :)
 
3 - orange people.
nothing against umpaloompas, and I have been known to whack out the ol' gradual build up moisturiser... I hate fake tan. like, obvious, spray on, orange, nasty chavvy fake tan.
 
4 - two facedness.
again, I am very two faced at times, but I try not to be... but I really really hate people who are you're best friend one second and then act like you're dirt the next. really unnecessary.
 
5 - people who go on about how the were 'sooo stooooneeeed'.
says it all really.

necklace nails :)

helloo my loverrs.
sorry about the lack of 30 day challenge. i'm really, really lazy.

so today, i really struggled to come up with a design, i started out with another deisgn which i willpostassoon asi can find the photo (it's gone missing on my hardrive :L) but then changed my mind about it... it was Disco Pink my Maxfactor (a pretty, hot pink) with a silver gillter gradient on the diagonal... very cute but this is the last time i can really do big nails til my GCSES are over, so i thought i'd make the most of it. so, i played around with a LOT of designs, and eventually decided to do a play on this necklace...



sorry, you're gonna have to tilt your head there, :L it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland...  i laaave it :D

on nails, it came out okay!
i used regular base/top coat; Models Own 25 Carrat Gold; Barbara Daly Wicked; Revlon Ruby Ribbon; OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous; and looooadsa Andrea Fulerton crystals. so much wffort to apply, but they do look cute.



Left Hand

pinky- this is a kinda crystal ball on the necklace
ring - ace of clubs
middle - heart
index - clock
thumb - ribbon



Right Hand

pinky - same as LH
ring - a camera, it's slightly clearer in realily, but didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but by the time I'd done it, I just really couldn't be bothered to change it :L
middle - head
index - clock
thumb - ace of diamonds

BOOM.

it doesn't look like much when it's all shoved in a box, but there are 79ish bottles in there :)


and this little beauty, is what i brought today :) it's beaautiful, i think that there's a Sally Hansen polish like this, but they're difficult to come by over here... it's Andrea Fulerton and i'm in love with it. i can tell that it'll look amazing over a dark blue and i'm gonna use it asap!

Spring Florals


hi again!
I realise that I just posted about ten minutes ago but I had another mani to post :L this is the one that I am wearing on the 23rd to match a skirt I brought :) this took a couple of tries to settle on a design, but I'm still not entirely happy with it - the flowers are too big. I had them perfect but i added a dark green revlon to the leaves (emerald city) and it looked all wrong so i had to change it... also, just incase anyone notices... I have BDD thumbs (aka club or royal. i prefer royal!) so they look like toes and the nail is a weird shape.
i used... revlond complete car base coat, rimmel scented lemon drop, barry m blueberry ice cream + blue moon (v. good channel imitation!), collection 2000 french white + show off + blue my mind and sally hanson maximum growth and ceche vite to finish :)
seeing my boyfriend later today  and buying shooooeees which is gonna be nice, but yeaaaah :)
will probably post again tomorrow night, planning to do american flags and a palm tree on my thumbs :)
seeeyyaaaaa ♥

Anchors Away!


heellooo!
this is my first post, and I'm not really sure what to write... I've started a few blogs before but never really stuck to them but I'm hoping (preying!) that this one works out. I don't do nail art all that often but i'm going to try to do it more often. if not, I'll just post my polish hauls or NOTDs... will probably also do some personal stuff so yeaaahhhh, I'll try not to be too boring :)

soo onto this mani.
I used revlon nail care basecost, WAH nails nail art pen in white, barry M in blueberry ice cream, collection 2000 5 day wear in French white, sally hanson maximum growth and seche vite to finish :)
i wore this to work (i'm a waitress :L) and it went down a storm!

think that's all for today :)
