    Mixing It Up

    I had my last exam on Monday and it’s such a relief to resume normal human activities like sleeping and eating! And of course it means I can get back to blogging more than once a week. Thank you to everyone that has liked my new Facebook page. I’m still working on getting lots of pictures up and just deciding how best to organise it!

    Reprise

    This W7 polish is one of my all time favourites. I had a bottle of this all the way back when my collection was 15 strong but unfortunately it went all lumpy and weird so I had to chuck it. I thought you couldn’t get this colour any more but I spotted a bottle in a bargain shop that sells all kinds of odds and ends and snapped it up right away!

    Got Daisies?

    This is my favourite so far of all the ones I’ve done with the new Bundle Monster plates. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out when I decided to add a bit of extra detail by filling in the flowers. Sometimes, especially if I pick a bad colour, details like that can make things look overdone but this isn’t one of those times. 
    I wouldn’t expect that green/blue to compliment the purple shades as well as it does but it’s just one of those lucky combinations that works without even trying.

    Bright Purple for a Bright Day

    The gorgeous weather we’ve been having is starting to dwindle but it was still bright outside today so I went out in to the garden to take my pictures. I think they come out much nicer in direct sunlight. Normally I just take them in my bedroom.
    I ordered a new mp3 player from Tesco today which will be ready for me to pick up at my local store on Thursday. Now, you may not think this a particularly exciting event but I’ve been rocking various really old Creative Zens for a few years now and I finally decided it was time to catch up with the rest of the world and get something a bit more modern. Also, my Zen Micro keeps switching off whenever it pleases thanks to some rattly insides and is so old that it’s not really even compatible with my computer!
    I went for the Sony NWZ-S754 in blue which was a bargain because I took advantage of the double up your Clubcard vouchers offer so I only had to put £20 towards it. Apologies to anyone not in the UK who’ll have no idea what I’m talking about. ‘Clubcard’ a loyalty card scheme for the massive supermarket chain, Tesco, and you can get some amazing rewards from them. I’ve already had 3 annual magazine subscriptions without a penny coming out of my pocket.

    Tips Please

    Belated Happy Easter to everyone! I’ve had a such a great weekend, I really don’t want it to end but unfortunately it’s back to reality tomorrow. I’m back home from Uni at the moment so I saw plenty of my good school friends on Saturday night and spent Sunday and today with family. Now I really have to knuckle down and study for my upcoming exams before I get a nice big break for the Summer.

    I posted a make-up look on my other blog today. When I went to see Sucker Punch last week I couldn’t stop staring at the make-up so I decided to try out Baby Doll’s look. It’s a picture heavy post so I didn’t feel like it would fit here!! Click here or on the picture to see the post.

    Sitting, Waiting, Swishing

    I want to thank everyone for the amazing response I had to my recent EOTD post. You all seemed to like it so I’m looking forward to doing more in the future. You also reminded me that it’s my blog so I should basically post what I want which is something I sometimes forget and I then start worrying about the fact that I’m not a nail art machine when there’s no reason to get all stressed out about it!
    I don’t really have much of an opinion on these nails and I wasn’t even going to post this because I really can’t make up my mind about them. I don’t dislike the mani but I’m not in love with it either! I think it’s kind of ‘pretty’ but just not something I’m used to seeing on my nails, it’s a strange feeling!

    I used a striping brush to paint on the ‘swishes’

    Have you voted for me in the Bundle Monster competition today? I hate shamelessly nagging and pestering you all but it would be really lovely if you could click over to the competition and give me a thumbs up! Just click here or here. Thanks!!

    Starlight

    What an eventful week I’ve had! I had a great night out on Saturday with my friends and managed to wake up bright and early on Sunday morning to catch a train home to surprise my Mum for Mother’s Day. I came back to my house on Tuesday afternoon and spent the evening relaxing. 
    I was looking forward to a fun packed Wednesday. I’d planned an afternoon in the park while the sun had his hat on and was looking forward to either another night out or a trip to the cinema but it all went downhill on my way home from uni. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know all about my woes!
    As I was walking home I tripped on some uneven ground and reeeeallly hurt my ankle. At first I thought it wasn’t that bad and that I’d be able to hobble home but then I looked down and it had already swollen a lot (picture of the swelling here if you like injuries and whatnot!). I called my friends to come and rescue me and we got a lift to the hospital where we spent the rest of the afternoon. I had an x-ray and luckily it isn’t a break, just a bad sprain, so they sent me home with crutches and some information about caring for a sprained ankle. I’ve spent practically every hour since then stuck in bed with my foot propped up and I’m starting to get cabin fever! It will be a long while until I take my ability to walk for granted again. Everything is such a hassle with only the one leg functioning properly.
