    I’m going to LANDAAN

    I’m going to London with my brother tomorrow and I’m sooo excited.
    We both have friends in a band called Crash and Berney who are playing in the Live and Unsigned Grand Final in the O2 Arena in front of thousands of people. They’ve worked so hard to get through the auditions and regional finals among thousands of entries and if they win, they will be offered a record deal. They are currently in second position in their category. How amazing is that?!
    Please go to their Myspace to listen to their amazing songs or Facebook for all the news and updates.
    They’ve already been featured on Mercedes Benz Mixed Tape and are destined for big things. So watch the video below to see them performing Fresh Prince of Bel Air and their original song Doo Doo Doo at the regional finals of the competition. It’s amazing, and I’m not just saying that because I know them!

    If you like them and want to see more of them in the future, it would be great if you vote for them. Voting closes 10pm (GMT+1) on Saturday 10th (tomorrow). Just text unsigned16 to 84222.(It will cost £1) Go to the voting page if you want to check out the competition.

    And here’s today’s Konadicure!

    A bit of babbling – I will forgive you if you don’t read this

    I will get to the interesting bit before I start babbling so… here are the polishes I bought on Wednesday:

    Left to right:
    Barry M – Fuschia
    George @ Asda – Twister, matte finish
    Barry M – Raspberry
    Barry M Polishes and Lip Glosses areon offer at 2 for £5 in Boots at the moment.
      
    And here is my current collection of chromes. They are really good for stamping, so I love them loads.
    They go in order of acquisition from left to right.
    There is a little story behind these.
    My Mum gave me my first one (Garnet Chrome) for stamping when it got too thick for her to use. Since that started to run out I have been desperately seeking any I can get my hands on. She bought them as discontinued stock so I knew the search wouldn’t be easy.
    I bought the second one (Lilac Crystal) from Martian Delights. I was a bit dissapointed because it’s pigmented enough for stamping but too runny.
    A few days ago, my Mum gave me ‘Amber’ which is, again, amazing. The day before that, I bought ‘Anemone’ on eBay for £2.29 and it arrived today.
    So if you like stamping and you ever see one of these – nab it!

    Now I will babble…

    I have a lot of time on my hands at the present. That’s the reason for all of these loooong posts – sorry.
    I have no job (not out of choice) and no school so I spend my days doing nothing much in particular – but here are some of my favourite bum activities…

    • Playing Playstation (Harry Potter Lego and COD)
    • Shopping (with money I don’t have)
    • Watching/catching up on old TV series’ (Mad Men, Arresteed Development) because I have used up all the current ones (Grey’s, Desperate Housewives, The Mentalist)
    • Cooking/Baking
    • Trips to the Cinema (I can’t wait for Inception!)

    And of course blogging – but I did that before, when I was productive too, so it doesn’t count.
    By the by – I got the Results for my first year at University yesterday. Well, not a breakdown, but a pass/fail mark. I got a fail which I knew I would because I failed my ‘Priciples Of Business Managent’ exam in January. I had to call my tutor to see which modules I hadn’t passed and would have to resit and she said it was just that Business exam so I didn’t fail any of my summer exams!! I was chuffed to say the least!

    For any make-up fans in the UK

    In this week’s more magazine (the one with Lily Allen on the front) there is a voucher for a free Barry M Dazzle Dust @ Superdrug worth £4.50. The magazine is only £1.50 and you can chose from any of the shades.

    I popped in today to get one (I chose No. 39 – Tan) and also came away with two new NYC polishes:

    A new top coat – ‘In A New York Color Minute’ Quick Dry
    Hopefully it will live up to my favourite NYC Top Coat that I can’t find anywhere 🙁
    and

    Colour No.238B1 – MoMa (Konadicure up in a sec)

    Which were two for £3.50.

    Freshen Up

    The beautful Marina @ Forever The Ugly Duckling sent me some of her old polishes that she doesn’t get any use out of anymore. I will get a picture up tomorrow but for now, here is a manicure with one of the Barry M’s.
