    What fruit is this?

    I don’t actually think there is a blue fruit. I remember watching a Blue Peter once where they said that we are immediately put off food if it is blue in colour and if you think about it- it’s true. There are hardly any blue foods and definitely not ‘natural’ ones. The only blue food I can think I’ve ever seen is sugary stuff like sweets and icing. Any thoughts?

    Anyway…

    This is a new colour I picked up at Asda when I went looking for some new storage for my polishes.

    It was marked at £1.50 but came out at £1 ($1.45) at the checkout – I love it when that happens.
    Plate: BM04
    Base Colour: George@ Asda – 49 Hoax

    Stamp Colour: NYC Glossies – 243B

    I bought a plastic drawer set to house my collection – there are 4 drawers just the right size for most of my polishes but some of the taller bottles have be laid down. Like Sally Hansen’s and No7’s.
    It is just big enough to hold everything and the bottom drawer is dedicated to base/top coats and extra bits and bobs like all my plates, files and brushes etc.

    It was about £7 ($10) and no doubt I will be buying another one soon to keep up with my ever-growing stash.

    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. 😀

    Konad Plate: M57
    Base Colour: Barbara Daly Make Up – Velour
    White: Stargazer 118 – White

    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.
