    I Got My Hopes Up

    I bought a new white polish hoping it would be great for stamping. It’s from the George @ Asda range, which are all quick-drying, and I’ve had two great ones from there – both blues – but this wasn’t as opaque as I was hoping. I still think it’s good for stamping, just not as great as the Stargazer white I normally use. But still, a nice subtle effect.

    I Lost my Sally’s Virginity!

    I went to Sally’s for the first time today and it was very exciting. They had OPI’s for £9.99 and China Glaze’s for £5.99 which is very expensive for a 15ml bottle of polish but I don’t know if they retail at a similar price in the States.
    I was on the lookout for some ASP Nail Whitening Paste which was recommended to me by Beata but it was £5.99 (which I knew before I went but I just wanted to go and see it!) so I ended up leaving without it but I did buy a monster (500ml) bottle of acetone which works out at half the price of buying a 50ml bottle each time in a pharmacy.
    I’m trying to grow my nails a teeny bit longer and get them all at the same length but even as I type this, the nail on my ring finger is winding me up! I keep hitting all the wrong keys, especially caps lock instead of the A. I don’t know how all you ladies do anything with such long nails!

    Bebé Blue

    This is one of my most popular mani’s of late. I got complimented by two ladies at the bank who initially thought they were false nails and were very curious about how I did it, and the lady who runs the Hula Hooping Class I went to.
    I like this pattern because it’s hard to tell which colour has been stamped and which is the base (except on the middle finger where you can see the edges of the stamp!)
    Don’t you find it hard to explain Konadding to someone who has never seen it before?! I’m always saying something along the lines of… ‘Uuuh, it’s a metal disc with embossed patterns and a scraper and rubber stamp and you just transfer it over!’ or something else equally incomprehensible and long winded. People just look at me blankly and pretend they get it!
