    Calling All British Nail Bloggers

    27th May 2011

    I’m on a mission to find as many nail bloggers from the UK that I can. I really want to find some blogs with content more relevant to me. As much as I love drooling over swatches from the latest OPI, Essie, China Glaze etc. collections, it sucks that I can’t actually get hold of them at anywhere near a reasonable price.

    I’d love to see more info about brands that I can run in to Boots or Superdrug and throw in my basket. So if you are a nail blogger blogging about British polish or you know of any of blogs that do, I’d love it if you leave a link for me to visit in the comments.

    Blink 182 Nail Art

    Blink 182 may just be my favourite band ever. Not in a crazy, superfan way – it’s just that I’ve been listening to their music for years and years and I never get fed up of hearing it. I was supposed to be seeing them play in July but the tour was postponed since they haven’t finished recording the new album. The gig’s been postponed a year, yeah you heard me right, 12 months! WTF guys?! But whatever, I’m not gonna stop loving them because of that. So I thought I’d pay tribute the best way I know how… on my nails.

    Here’s a better one of my thumb, it’s at a

    funny angle in all the other shots.

    If you want to know any of the products or techniques used, just leave a comment and I’ll reply below.

    My First Pink Wednesday

    Pink Wednesdays is a great little scheme thought up by the ladies from Colour Coated, Glitta Gloves and Life and Polish. The premise is really simple. On Wednesdays, you wear pink polish and post it on your blog. If you want to join in, just click here to see more details.
    Today is my first pink Wednesday! 
    I don’t post (or even wear) many pink manicures, but when I was deciding which pink to use, I saw that I have way more than I thought and I hardly ever use them so this will be a great way for me to get more use out of my pink polishes.

    Not much to update today. I know it’s been a few days since I last blogged but it seems like nothing has really happened except a trip to the dentist today where I had another wisdom tooth pulled out. I’ve spent a lot of time sat inside staring at all my notes from school because I have an exam on Friday which I need to study for but it’s such a mammoth task I have no idea where to start! My plan is to knuckle down tomorrow and cram enough information in to my brain to pass.

    I originally posted this on Thursday in the midst of the Blogger break down, so it might look familiar to those of you that caught a glimpse before it disappeared. I found it yesterday tucked away in my drafts so I thought I’d post it again! Here’s hoping it’ll stay put this time.

    Got Daisies?

    This is my favourite so far of all the ones I’ve done with the new Bundle Monster plates. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out when I decided to add a bit of extra detail by filling in the flowers. Sometimes, especially if I pick a bad colour, details like that can make things look overdone but this isn’t one of those times. 
    I wouldn’t expect that green/blue to compliment the purple shades as well as it does but it’s just one of those lucky combinations that works without even trying.
