    Examinations and their Procrastinations

    Sorry guys, but due to it being exam period at the moment, I haven’t had time to do a Konadicure for your musings today. I have had my head in books and lecture notes for the past two days, attempting to buff up on the basics of economics but I still feel pretty doooomed to fail 🙁

    Anyway, during one of my frequent procrastination breaks, I read around a few blogs including Susie’s Home and Hobbies. Her latest post was a really pretty Fauxnad design and I decided to buy the bundle of Fauxnad plates that she uses from Bundle Monster at Amazon.com.

    Since I am in the UK, it was $4.00 (£2.60) for shipping. I’m so excited to get these and hopefully by the time they arrive, I will be free from exams and free to Konadicure to my heart’s content!

    NYC Top Coat

    As suggested by KarenD, here is a picture of the New York Color Top Coat (201) I use everyday in case you want to look out for it. I’ve mentioned this top coat before because it’s good for Konadding, as it doesn’t smudge the designs. It also dries really quickly so you can get on with other stuff without worrying too much about messing up your nails.

    I think it’s discontinued stock as I bought it in a seconds store, but I’ve seen another NYC Top Coat stocked in Superdrug which I think was this.

    As you can see, it’s very cheap, but it works for me.
    P.S. If anyone see this stocked in any shops in the UK, please let me know 😀

    EDIT
    Look what I just found. Perhaps, it’s not discontinued. Perhaps it’s new. Who knows? Anyway, hope this is handy.

    BYS Haul

    I love BYS nail polishes, as you might have deduced from my constant use of them!
    They sell the range of make-up in a small clothes shop called QS for the bargain price of £2.50 each and they are factually amazing. I haven’t seen them on sale anywhere else but if you’ve seen them, please let me know. There are so many colours to chose from and they go on smooth and wear for a long time.
    So.. when I visited QS on the weekend and saw that all BYS make up was on offer at 3 for £5, how could I resist. And with my 20% student discount, I got them for £4!Definitely my bargain of the week. I like these colours so much that I thought I would show you…
    They are…
    Left: 108 Metallic Fuschia
    I wouldn’t call this metallic, just very shimmery. It’s a nice warm pink, without being too ‘in your face’ like some hot/neon pinks.
    Centre: 137 Pink On The Brink
    A mix of pink and silver glitter in clear polish.
    Right: 09 Flirty Sparkle
    A reddy pink polish with tiny pieces of silver glitter. Nightmare to remove but worth it.

    Fauxnad Haul

    This is my recent Fauxnad haul from eBay. It was £12.99 for 12 plates plus a plastic scraper and stamper. Good Times 😀
    I bought them from eBay seller Syster from Hong Kong and they only took 6 days to get here (over the bank holiday weekend might I add) so I didn’t have to wait very long as I thought I might. And – no customs charge – BARGAIN!

    I’m pretty chuffed with them. The scraper is not very good – it leaves lines of polish everywhere. But then I don’t like the metal one either as it leaves scrape marks all over the plates so I just use one of my old student cards.
