Try and say that ten times fast?!
I just want to say thank you for all the lovely birthday messages. I truly loved them, thank you so much. It’s so good to hear that plenty of you are still acting young for your years and getting away with it!
I’ve gone for a patchwork look this time with the scotch tape. The base is BYS Metallic Fuschia, then I painted on the purple sections with Barbara Daly Velour and the last layer is Rimmel Lycra Wear Black Satin. I used a thick top coat of NYC in an attempt to flatten out the lines.
Then I added some little sequins which I think is a nice touch but I preferred it without.
I know you’re probably getting sick of my unexplained, extended absences and I’m really sorry! So far, this year has been one crazy whirlwind of events and I’m finding it impossible to make time for blogging. I’m trying to get some structure back in the blog so I think instead of attempting a new mani every day, I’m gonna aim for three a week on set days (I’m thinking Monday, Wednesday and Saturday) so you’ll know what you can expect.
The internet connection in my house has been down since Sunday and no-one’s called up to fix it since it’s an 08 number and we only have cell phones so it will cost upwards of 35p per minute to call the ISP (I know it doesn’t sound much, but we’re all really stingy).
I’m blogging from home home today (my parents’ house) since I had to come back to get one of my wisdom teeth pulled. I’ve been complaining about it for months so I’m glad it’s finally gone. It wasn’t half as bad as I was expecting and I barely even felt the injections. It was actually the nicest procedure I’ve ever had done in a dentist’s office, if anything that takes place there can be called nice!
For the mani I used:
Carla Di Roma – Grape Wine
A coat of BYS Tinkerbell
Barry M Blue Glitter sponged from the corners downwards
GOSH Metallic Blue freehanded for the lines using a striper brush (eBay)
I’ve made a few additions to my list of regular polishes that work well for stamping. This GOSH Metallic Blue is on there! Head over to the Stamping Polishes page if you want to see all of the polishes I use for stamping.

Here are some more goodies from Viva La Nails, hopefully this will make a nice change from all the stamping. These are Water Decals and I’m gonna say again that they are great – so pretty and easy to apply. Enjoy all the pictures!
The base colour is Barry M Berry Ice Cream.
I forgot how much I love this pattern. I had so many compliments about my nails yesterday. I think this houndstooth pattern is great because you can’t tell which colour is stamped on, it’s so seamless, the only problem is the size of the all over Bundle Monster patterns – they’re quite small and don’t always cover the whole nail which is when you get seams starting to appear!
