    This is one of my most popular mani’s of late. I got complimented by two ladies at the bank who initially thought they were false nails and were very curious about how I did it, and the lady who runs the Hula Hooping Class I went to.
    I like this pattern because it’s hard to tell which colour has been stamped and which is the base (except on the middle finger where you can see the edges of the stamp!)
    Don’t you find it hard to explain Konadding to someone who has never seen it before?! I’m always saying something along the lines of… ‘Uuuh, it’s a metal disc with embossed patterns and a scraper and rubber stamp and you just transfer it over!’ or something else equally incomprehensible and long winded. People just look at me blankly and pretend they get it!

    I had such a good time in London on Saturday. One of the best days of mmy summer so far. I even managed to restrain my polish spending and not buy a single one. It wasn’t too hard considering I hardly went in any shops!
    I have to share one of my favourite pictures from the day. We drove past Big Ben and I quickly grabbed a snap out of the window of the coach and it turned out so you can see my brother reflected in the window! I love it!
    To the nails…

    My polish budget for the year ahead…

    I have decided to set myself a Polish budget from now on. I’m not allowed to spend more than £5 each month on nail polish and I’m going to try to stick to this for at least a year.
    Buying polish is my vice these days – whatever shop I go into, even the supermarket, I’m always on the prowl for polish and it’s breaking the bank! Not to mention taking up a lot of space.
    Being a jobless student, I just can’t afford to go on the way I am, so I have to stick to this goal. It’s not unobtainable because I’m tight with my money as it is and never really spend more than £2.50 for a polish, so I could realistically buy about two new shades a month.
    I have been keeping a record (as of last week) and have so far spent £11.50!! So not the best start, but I’m easing myself into it!
    When I think about it, £10 in two weeks adds up to £260 a year!!! 😮 That’s a shock to the system. That’s a month’s rent for me, with some quids left over for the weekends! So… I’m going to write down every polish purchase from now on and hope I have the willpower to cut down my purchasing.
