Belated Happy Easter to everyone! I’ve had a such a great weekend, I really don’t want it to end but unfortunately it’s back to reality tomorrow. I’m back home from Uni at the moment so I saw plenty of my good school friends on Saturday night and spent Sunday and today with family. Now I really have to knuckle down and study for my upcoming exams before I get a nice big break for the Summer.

I posted a make-up look on my other blog today. When I went to see Sucker Punch last week I couldn’t stop staring at the make-up so I decided to try out Baby Doll’s look. It’s a picture heavy post so I didn’t feel like it would fit here!! Click here or on the picture to see the post.

I know you’re probably getting sick of my unexplained, extended absences and I’m really sorry! So far, this year has been one crazy whirlwind of events and I’m finding it impossible to make time for blogging. I’m trying to get some structure back in the blog so I think instead of attempting a new mani every day, I’m gonna aim for three a week on set days (I’m thinking Monday, Wednesday and Saturday) so you’ll know what you can expect.

The internet connection in my house has been down since Sunday and no-one’s called up to fix it since it’s an 08 number and we only have cell phones so it will cost upwards of 35p per minute to call the ISP (I know it doesn’t sound much, but we’re all really stingy).

I’m blogging from home home today (my parents’ house) since I had to come back to get one of my wisdom teeth pulled. I’ve been complaining about it for months so I’m glad it’s finally gone. It wasn’t half as bad as I was expecting and I barely even felt the injections. It was actually the nicest procedure I’ve ever had done in a dentist’s office, if anything that takes place there can be called nice!

For the mani I used:

I’ve made a few additions to my list of regular polishes that work well for stamping. This GOSH Metallic Blue is on there! Head over to the Stamping Polishes page if you want to see all of the polishes I use for stamping.
