    Barely There

    I wanted to use this base colour today but when I actually had it on, it was really hard to find a colour that would stamp over the top and match and show up! But I did try.

    E.L.F Purple Pleaser Swatch (and with Konadding)

    Here is E.L.F’s Purple Pleaser. This comes very close to the colour I was expecting when I ordered Punk Purple last time which I was very disappointed with. But this colour definitely makes up for the disappointment.


    So if you are buying one of these purples from E.L.F be aware that this is Purple Pleaser and Punk Purple looks dull pink IRL.
    Then I added some stamping to the colour but I think it looked better before.

    ♪♫ If she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will

    Here are my Dalmatian patterned nails for tonights fancy dress. It’s a Disney theme so I’m going as one of the Dalmatians!
    I used the leopard print pattern from Konad M57 and used a brush to fill in the holes to make spots.

    Nailympics you say?

    I’m moving out tomorrow… properly… for good! Well, for the year anyway. I have a birthday party to go to with Disney dress up tomorrow night and I’m going as one of the Dalmatians so I’m gonna go for spotty nails which I will post as soon as I can.
    I think some of you might enjoy reading this. It’s a story about the ‘Nailympics’ which were held here in the UK last weekend and has some piccys of amazing, you could call it novelty, nail art. Although it’s admittedly not the kind I would try myself, it’s still very good. I’m sure you could find more pictures somewhere else too.

    Sorry for the bad pictures recently. Everyday gets shorter and more dreary so it’s hard to get any good sun light for taking pictures. For this picture I resorted to using the light from my phone’s camera since all of the lightbulbs in my house give photos taken under them an orange tinge.
    A comment from Mistress Zombie a few days ago has given me the idea to compile a list of regular polishes I use for stamping. Hopefully it might come in useful for you guys that are into stamping without using the expensive polishes.
    I actually don’t own, nor ever have owned, any Konad special polishes myself and do all my stamping with regular polishes that I’ve found through trial, error and good guesswork. I’m aiming to get the list up some time soon – I just need some good lighting to get decent pictures of the bottles… how annoying.

    It’s beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart

    I’ve just taken a ‘Personality Type’ quiz that Steph from Imperfectly Painted shared on Twitter and found out that I’m an INTP.
    Then I found this website called The Personality Page where you can read about all the personality types and how they are in relationships and at work and such. I find it all very interesting and I thought you guys might like to give it a go.
    You can take the quiz here.
