    I had my last exam today. I’m so so so happy to have them over, even though I think I failed 3 out of the 4.
    After the exam some friends and I went out for a pub lunch and just chatted for nearly 2 hours which was so much fun as I’ve been stuck inside for nearly 3 weeks. I was planning on going out with my friends tonight but decided to stay in eating, sleeping and watching movies since I haven’t really had a chance just to chill for the so long, but I’m looking forward to going out tomorrow – it should be a crazy night!

    My mouth has been annoying me recently. My wisdom teeth have been causing me trouble on and off for years now but I’ve always just done my best to ignore it and wait for it to pass. I know I should really go to the dentist but I know they’re gonna say I need them out and I hate getting anaesthetic, doesn’t everyone?
    Anyway, my whole jaw has been aching for a few days now and I hate it but I’m handling it like a boss!
    I used a different camera for these two pictures and they’ve come out totally different colours! The first is most colour accurate but I love the second one because it looks so sunny and it’s nice to be reminded at this time of year that the sun still exists.

    Houndstooth

    I forgot how much I love this pattern. I had so many compliments about my nails yesterday. I think this houndstooth pattern is great because you can’t tell which colour is stamped on, it’s so seamless, the only problem is the size of the all over Bundle Monster patterns – they’re quite small and don’t always cover the whole nail which is when you get seams starting to appear!

    A New Chrome Discovery

    Hey guys! I know I’ve been M.I.A. for a few days, other than my constant twitter moaning, but it’s exam period in Uni at the moment and I have 4 exams to study for. I got the first one out of the way this morning so I felt I deserved a break from revision and stressing to do my nails properly.
    A few weeks ago, I saw swatches of a chrome polish from Avon at Goose’s Glitter. I know how amazing chromes are for stamping and since I know Avon is a brand I can get my hands on here in the UK, I started my treasure hunt to get my hands on a bottle.
    Avon aren’t actually selling this on their website or in the book, but I found a few bottles on eBay and eventually won the bidding on this one at a good price. It popped through my door on Saturday but due to my lack of studying last week, my weekend was crammed full of it so I had no time to play with my new polish.
    So today, as a reward to myself for all my work, I went a bit overboard with manicuring. I painted my nails about 5 different colours today before I was happy!

    Hey guys. Sorry I’ve been out of action for a few days. I could excuse myself by moaning about my exams and moving all my stuff back to uni but the truth is I’ve just been lazy this week. Super lazy. Soz.
    I’m not sure about this base colour. It’s a light purple shimmer and I normally don’t go for light shimmers but this one was purple and in the sale so I had to get it! I don’t think I would ever wear it on its own but it’s nice for under a pattern like this.

    McCreamy

    I picked up this beautiful grey polish from La Femme in a £1 shop today. I spotted the display of polishes and zoned in on them. Most of the colours were not really my kind of thing – a lot of metallics and pale shimmery shades – but I spotted this one at the back and bought it thinking it might be good for stamping since it looked creamy and pigmented.
    I haven’t put it to the stamping test yet but I think it looks great on it’s own. It is a gorgeous creamy polish that is perfect in two coats. The only down side to this polish is the brush. It’s kind of stiff so it leaves streak marks but they do settle themselves – it’s just annoying. Nothing I can complain about considering it was such a bargain.

    Did anyone make the connection between today’s colour and the post title?!
