    Broken Nailed

    Consider this a slightly early Pink Wednesday post!
    My nails are in a sorry state at the moment due to my dwindling supply of OPI Nail Envy. I need a new bottle and I normally save my credit on Valued Opinions to buy it on Amazon but I’ve recently neglected my account so I need to do a few more surveys before I have enough virtual pennies.
    I’ve been meaning to write a review of the Nail Envy for a while and this shortage has reminded me how much I love it and need to tell you all about it! Basically, it’s the sole reason I have been able to grow my nails and keep them long, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

    Thicken Up

    I know it’s well documented that polishes will thicken as they get old and used but I definitely notice it most with Barry M polishes. When you first buy them, they are fairly runny and nearly all of them need at least two coats for full coverage but after just a few months, they are thick enough to use for stamping. 
    Great for those of us who are always on the lookout for stamping polishes, but perhaps not ideal for people that want their polishes to last until they need to scrape the stuff from the walls of the bottle!
    The weather here was kind of crappy today and I could really tell that winter is setting in. Unfortunately that means more pictures with this crummy lighting will be coming very soon as the days get shorter and generally more morose. I got some advice from Cristina about her lighting and I think I need to get some white fluorescent lighting from somewhere so I too can have pretty, colour correct pictures!

    Leave It To The Professionals

    Sorry for the eerie silence around here. I’ve been busy this week looking for a full-time job since I don’t think I’ll be going back to University in September. These are my ‘interview’ nails, I don’t want to wear anything too loud so I went for a nude with some subtle stamping.

    My Kind of Cool Aid

    My Cult Nails order arrived last week and I had to go and pick it up from the sorting office because there was a £13 customs charge to be paid. If you’re in the UK and are thinking of purchasing polish from a country outside the EU, consider yourself warned about these charges. I was hesitant to buy these polishes in the first place because it’s quite unusual (actually, unheard of) for me to spend so much on polish and in the end they worked out at £9.50 each which makes me cringe every time I think about it!
    Wow, way to start on a bum-note but don’t get me wrong, I am really, really happy that I decided to bite the bullet and buy these. I went for My Kind of Cool Aid and Iconic from the ‘Inaugural’ Collection and Let Me Fly and Cruisin’ Nude from the ‘A Day At The Races’ Collection. Every single polish applies like a dream and is perfect in two coats.
