    The title’s not relevant but I was just listening to the Tinie Tempah song and I can’t get that line out of my head.

    P.S I made cookies yesterday from a new book I found – 1 Dough, 50 Cookies. All the recipes look really tasty and easy so if you are a cookie/baking fan, I would recommend it.

    I know, I know. It doesn’t look that appetising, but they are sooo moreish.

    Oh, and the title has just become relevant! Haha.

    This is another from Carli’s giveaway. I love this one – it dries matte and bright orange but I put a top coat on to preserve the stamping and it turned a slightly darker, blood orange.

    Sorry about the bad colour in this picture – I ran out of sunlight. The base colour is a realy fancy hot pink, not red as it looks in the picture.

    Beauty UK or Beauty No-K?

    I have a few Beauty UK polishes. They are only cheap – but some if the colours are nice – so they chip easily and are not amazing.
    Since I am running out of my beloved NYC Top Coat, I need a new one that’s not too expensive since I only ever wear it for a day and get through it really fast.
    So, I bought Beauty UK’s ‘2 in 1 Top Coat’ which is fine as a base coat but rubbish as a top coat.
    Last night, I finished my nails, with top coat, at least 30 minutes before bed but when I woke up, they were all scratched and dented. Since then, I’ve painted on the blue and added a coat of NYC.
    You can see on the thumb where the polish has basically ‘stretched’ because the top coat didn’t do its job and dry the polish underneath 🙁
    So, basically, don’t buy Beauty UK top coats 😀

    It’s 8.30pm and I’ve just woken up. I had an exam this morning so I stayed up revising until 4.30 and had to be up at 6.30, so when I came in I did my nails, watched Arrested Development and went back to bed (check the link for some chickeny goodness, haha. Sorry, I just love this show).
    To do this manicure, I had to use guides. Now, I normally avoid these at all costs because they really bug me and I can do a neater job with less fuss free hand but I had to use them for this one to get the Konad to stay in the right place.
    When I say guides, I mean hole reinforcers cut in half because they are so much cheaper. 😀

    Also, the wonderful KarenD at Frazzle Aniploish has tagged me with the sweet blog award and I will be working on tagging some of my favourite blogs as soon as I have some free time.

    I had a bit of an accident with this one. Right after I’d finished, I managed to spill acetone all over my hand but I didn’t have time to do it all again so I just tried to shake it off – so that’s why it’s a bit smudgy. Haha.
