Something has been really winding me up today. And it’s this twitter debacle involving the aforementioned imbecile. Sorry, but I can’t bring myself to write his name again. I don’t know if anyone’s been following it?
Basically, he’s glorifying eating disorders as lifestyle choices and proclaiming his belief that every woman should have one so they can be ‘skinny’ and ‘fashionable’. Obviously we can all tell he’s a bit of a prick who lives a shallow and fickle existence.
Some of you in the UK may recognise from a series of Big Brother where he was portrayed as an international playboy millionaire. I actually watched some of the show when he was in there and he seems to me like a smart guy (a complete douchebag, but a clever one). He knows about celebrity and the business world in general.
So what I don’t understand is why this guy continues to expose himself in such a bad light. It seems to me that he’s just desperate for fame and recognition.
First he goes on one of the most shameful TV shows in existence. That didn’t work but now he’s got himself some twitter followers so he figures he’ll cause a bit of outrage and get himself mentioned (in disgust) enough times to become a trending topic.
What I’m trying to say here is this guy knows exactly what he’s doing. I believe he likes his girls to look like twiglets but he knows what he’s saying is wrong and outrageous – he’s just doing it for the attention. Now the celebs (Rihanna and Simon Cowell to name a few) have started putting their two cents in and the guy is revelling in it. Look at the guy, he’s no George Clooney and about 5 foot tall to boot so who is he to be telling us how we should look.
So I’m urging you all just to ignore it and not mention or tweet him at all. Maybe I’m defeating the point and you can call me a hypocrite for writing this rant about him. I just want everyone to know that it’s pretty clear he’s only doing this for the recognition. Don’t recognise it and he’ll go away back to under the rock he emerged from two days ago.
Anyway, here’s today’s manicure. I hope you like it…

I apologise if I offended anyone with any of my words or language. I’m not worked up about it and I’ll sleep fine tonight, I just wrote this in the heat of the moment. I may take it down soon.
I’m still waiting on some sunlight so I can swatch Barry M Dusky Mauve but until then, here’s another ‘dupe’ for Chanel’s Paradoxal. It doesn’t have the lavendery shimmer but I would say it’s a good match for the underlying dark purple colour.

It’s CHRISTMAS!! Well nearly anyway 🙂
I spent my Christmas eve shopping with my mum and then at the cinema with my dad so I’m super tired and hopefully won’t wake up too early out of excitement. Yes, I’m almost two decades old and I still can’t sleep through the night on Christmas Eve!
Today’s nails are kind of Christmassy. I think this pattern would make awesome wrapping paper in festive colours.

Over the Christmas season, I’m going to be doing less manicures. I’m aiming to stick to a post every other day.
I couldn’t get the lighting right for this picture so the colours are a bit cruddy, sorry.

I’ve had this polish in my drawer for months now but have never worn it because I was so disappointed with the way it looks IRL compared to the swatch on the website. After looking at a few other people’s swatches (here, here and here) I’m starting to think I got a dud bottle. I can only describe it as muddy red.
I was appalled at this colour when I first applied it but it’s growing on me now. I don’t really have anything else like this in my collection – probably because it’s kind of ‘blah’ and wouldn’t stand out to me if I saw it on a shop shelf – so I’m not going to throw it away but it won’t be a polish that I pick out very often. I can’t even think of any occasions when this would be a good shade to wear.

It was really hard to pick colours to match for the nail art but I think I picked some good ones which have helped in making me like this colour a bit better.
It’s weird to see a picture of my nails upside down like this but I thought I’d shake things up a bit today and take some photos from different angles. I’m very particular and normally like uniformity but I realise the front on pictures everyday get a bit same-y so I’ll be trying some more exciting shots from now on.
