    ♪♫ Red and Orange, Yellow, GOSH and Blue

    Sorry about the late post. I’ve had trouble with my internet connection all day but I finally got it working. Turned out to be as simple as turning the router off and on.. DUH!
    This is my new GOSH Holographic. Now I know what you’re thinking… Sammy, whatever happened to your budget?
    I’ve been lemming this for a while and yesterday, my darling Mummy was nice enough to buy it for me when she saw it on my nail after I tested it in Superdrug. She is very attracted to shiny stuff and bought one for herself too.
    It chips easiliy and application is a bit frustrating but once you get the hang of it it’s fine. You just have to make sure the first coat is dry before the next one else you will just smudge off the coat underneath. It says ‘Special Formula’ on the side and you should buy a special base coat for it. This is probably why. 
    The picture doesn’t show how eye catching this is. I will get another one up soon and maybe a video to show you the full holo-ness.

    However, I did spend more money on some Collection 2000 polishes that were on sale in Boots. There was a big tub of them reduced to £1 so it was really hard to resist such a bargain
    For them to be reduced I assume they are end of line. But I saw the two ‘Maxiflex’ shades after in Superdrug and they were in different packaging – well, the same but with black lids so I guess that’s the reason for the reduction. The one on the left, ‘Moonlight Shine’ is great for stamping too!

    I Lost my Sally’s Virginity!

    I went to Sally’s for the first time today and it was very exciting. They had OPI’s for £9.99 and China Glaze’s for £5.99 which is very expensive for a 15ml bottle of polish but I don’t know if they retail at a similar price in the States.
    I was on the lookout for some ASP Nail Whitening Paste which was recommended to me by Beata but it was £5.99 (which I knew before I went but I just wanted to go and see it!) so I ended up leaving without it but I did buy a monster (500ml) bottle of acetone which works out at half the price of buying a 50ml bottle each time in a pharmacy.
    I’m trying to grow my nails a teeny bit longer and get them all at the same length but even as I type this, the nail on my ring finger is winding me up! I keep hitting all the wrong keys, especially caps lock instead of the A. I don’t know how all you ladies do anything with such long nails!

    My new blog…

    I have just started a new blog called The Beautysaurus.
    I started this blog to post Daily Konadicures but recently I’ve been diverging from that purpose more and more with mentions of cooking, bands and all sorts of other stuff, so I think I will put all of those kind of posts in another blog. I don’t know how often I will be posting on there. Probably not every day as I do with this one, but I’ll see how it goes.
    There are no real posts yet, but if you have enjoyed any of my non nail-related posts/ramblings, please feel free to check it out.
    Credit goes to Carli @ Konad-licious for this amazing design which I bareface stole! I hope she doesn’t mind. She wears it better than me anyway 😉

    No ramblings today…

    I’ll just leave you with this mani. Not sure if I like the colour combination but I will definitely be using this pattern again. I can’t believe I haven’t used it before 😀
