    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.

    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 ๐Ÿ™
    So, basically, don’t buy Beauty UK top coats ๐Ÿ˜€

    Half n Half

    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. ๐Ÿ˜€

    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.

    Franken No.2

    Okay, it’s gonna be a long post today.

    Firstly, I have to thank Susies1955, Audrey and anyone else who’s shared this blog. I loved logging on this morning to find 5 followers up from 1! And the number is rising every hour. If anyone else wants to spread some love and share my blog, I would loove it.

    Secondly, my second Franken. I am falling in love with making frankens. My collection of polish is so large now (75 at the last count) that it’s good to use some of the older ones making new ones. My own little recycling plant ๐Ÿ˜€

    Frankenpolish
    It is a shimmery light pink made from four existing polishes – white, shimmery pink, shimmery red and hot pink which you can see in the picture below.

    And here is the polish on…

    The Silverfish
    Finally, the bug I found in my room! It’s no secret among us students that the university halls where I live have a Silverfish infestation but I have been lucky enough not to seea single one in my room between September and now. But last Wednesday (28th) I spotted one on my noticeboard!!
    If you’ve never seen a silverfish, they look just like earwigs. I’m not a bug fan but I’m not terrified of them so I can get close but never touch them directly. Blurgh. And this was the fastest bug I’ve ever seen in my life. I tried to get it on a piece of paper and out the window but it practically flew away. It really creeped me out.
