    Saint George the Stamper

    It seems that I’m using the same couple of colours for stamping these days. If it’s not silver or gold, it’s black or white. I think I need to rummage in my stash and start experimenting with some new colours to see if they work for stamping.
    I wouldn’t normally choose a design with so many edges! My pattern choices most days are very organic and swirly so I thought I’d try something geometric and I love the way it looks. Very funky.

    Here’s Time Traveller, one of my new colours from Cult Nails. I couldn’t believe that this perfect TARDIS blue polish would have that name by coincidence so I had to ask Maria, Cult Nails’ founder and owner, if it was in fact named for Doctor Who and it is which just makes me love it even more!

    Pink is out of my comfort zone but I love Pink Wednesdays for making me wear it! This pink falls way way outside of my comfort zone but as soon as it’s on my nails I feel like I need to put my hair in pigtails and giggle excessively. It’s so cute and bubblegummy!

    Baroque is pretty much my favourite kind of pattern ever! I’m immediately drawn to anything that’s covered in it so, naturally I love to wear it on my nails but for some reason I’ve never tried this colour combination before. My god it’s beautiful.

    Would You Believe Me?

    If I told you I haven’t worn nail polish for four whole days?! Well it’s the truth, and that’s definitely the longest I’ve gone naked-nailed for at least 3 years! The main reason I never leave the house without polish on my nails is because they were so stained from years of wearing it daily. I sat down on Sunday with a buffing block after witnessing the removal of yellow staining using the buffing method and I finally got rid of all the yellow. My nails are now stain free and ready to see the sunshine.

    I’ve been doing some decorating this week (the reason for my long absence), alongside neglecting my nails for a few days so they’ve taken a bit of a battering and I’ve been forced to cut them quite short but I actually really like having super short nails!

    I have some good news and some bad news to share with you today. I’ll start with the bad news – I’m officially unemployed. You might know that I started a job at HMV before Christmas but it was a temporary position and I knew it would come to an end at some point. The resulting good news is that being jobless means I’ll have a bit more time free for blogging. Hence the recent infusion of blogging mojo!
