    Do You Think I’m Tex-y Too?

    It’s just a quick one today. I did spend quite a while writing about how I think this shade is similar to OPI’s Do You Think I’m Tex-y then realised it didn’t really make any sense! I blame it on the cold I’ve been suffering with since the weekend, my head is all stuffed up and I’m just too tired to make real sentences.

    BYS Fools Paradise

    Tonight I went to see Rango with some friends – it’s now in my top 3 animated films ever. Every frame looks so perfect and the humour is just up my alley. I was more in the mood to see Battle: LA but I’m so glad we saw Rango instead.
    It seems like when I watch films, I concentrate more on the aesthetic than what’s actually happening in the story. I think this is why I love films like Tron: Legacy, The Cell, and Legend of the Guardians which I know plenty of people don’t for one reason or another. I just love watching them for the sake of watching them. They don’t have to please my brain when I can just drink them up with my eyes.

    At Least It Will Keep Growing

    I have some exciting news that I’ve been meaning to mention for ages but keep forgetting for one reason or another. I hope I don’t sound too big headed for telling you, but one of my pictures that I posted on Tumblr has nearly 150 notes! It’s still astounding to me that people find my simple little manicures attractive, or even inspiring.
    In other news, I bleached my hair today. I felt like a change from the dark brown that I’ve been sporting for a few years and decided to go for light brown, think caramel. So I bleached it out today but even after 50 minutes of bleach, it’s still quite dark and there’s still plenty of red in it. I would describe the colour as auburn. The bulk of it is a very nice shade and I’d be happy to leave it but it’s really patchy in some places and my roots are blonde due to the heat from my scalp speeding up the bleaching  process.
    So yep – I have blonde roots and ginger hair. I’m just going to put my caramel brown dye over the top in the morning and pray for the best.

    Back in Blue

    I’m back from my little break and I have so much to tell you. First thing’s first – I handed in a huge assignment today so I’m finally free from big pieces of school work for the rest of the year. It was a 2500 word essay and the longest one I’ve ever written. I really struggled with it but now it’s over I feel so free! I spent my evening tidying and cleaning my room because it’s just gotten in such a tip since I was devoting all my time to the essay.
    I finally went to see the dentist last week. You might have heard me complaining in the past about my wisdom teeth but the pain was intermittent and manageable, then I started getting pain up in my roots a bit further forward so I finally booked an appointment to get my mouth looked at. Turns out the pain is being caused by one of my wisdoms and I have to have it taken out. 
    Sorry if that was boring and gross!!
    And here’s the mani you guys wanted to see more of from my last post. For some reason, I’ve never posted a mani using this konad image before. I don’t know why, because it’s gorgeous. 
    The owner of Born Pretty Store, Jessica, sent me some nail art supplies to review and these little blue beads are one of the items. I got a whole wheel with 12 different colours of beads in! I just love this ‘bullion’ because, even though it’s a tad fiddly, it’s so easy to incorporate in to any manicure. However, if you want some of these beads, I would definitely recommend going for the separately packaged ones because the colours are starting to mix in the wheel.

    How do you like my new banner? I’m not too sure about it so I might make another one or go back to the old one soon.

    I had my last exam today. I’m so so so happy to have them over, even though I think I failed 3 out of the 4.
    After the exam some friends and I went out for a pub lunch and just chatted for nearly 2 hours which was so much fun as I’ve been stuck inside for nearly 3 weeks. I was planning on going out with my friends tonight but decided to stay in eating, sleeping and watching movies since I haven’t really had a chance just to chill for the so long, but I’m looking forward to going out tomorrow – it should be a crazy night!
