Just one of those days...

Could not get my nails the way I wanted them.


The green jelly I was happy with. Fairly.
The pink jelly wasn't pink enough. Too orange and muted. My skin is beginning to look dirty with some semblance of tan (which I hate).
So I had to look for a pink. Impatiently because I was dissatisfied and always in haste whilst attempting not to wake the OH who is slumbering above.
Finger 1 - Attitudes Cleopatra (not right)
Finger 3 - 2000  Hot Looks Vixen - that's better, more magenta
Phew! Not great but not as dreary


Lastly the improved green


The bar glitter picks up lots of blue and brightens it up.

What kind of nail day are you having?
Good
Bad
Indifferent

  1. That green jelly is gorgeous on you!

    Erm, well right now I'm trying (and failing) to do a steampunk nail art look...argh! If only I had a few more Konad plates and didn't have to freehand it :P

  2. Your fave pink polish? I know pink can be considered beneath the notice of the serious nail-fanatic sometimes.

    Either Nails Inc's Brompton Place (this cute baby pink) or the ridic. hot pink I got in this cute set from Boots :)

    The polish you most looked forward to but disappointed you in reality.

    Barry M's mint green, colour was gorgeous but formula was suckage.

    The best contest/competition/whatever that you have ever won. Gave you the most pleasure - not necessarily the greatest in financial terms.
    I won an iPod nano (the new one, the chromatic one) in a debate last year! I was so happy because it was one of the biggest things I have ever one :)

    4 For what polish, if any, would you (or have you) paid over £15? I don't know what that is in your currency!
    I've never paid that for a polish (for myself), but I've paid similar amounts on nail polish for other people...if I could get some Chanel polish for £15, I'd be quite happy.

    5 Tell me about your pets or thoughts on pets.
    Erm...I have some tropical fish (guppies and platys and some tetras and penguin fish). I'm happy with other people's pets as long as they're well behaved. Most people that own dogs, for example, that I know really train their pets well and they're a pleasure to be around. However one of my friends (just her, no one else) has a dog and it's really not very nice :P It jumped on me the second I visited her house and kept trying to lick me and my other friend (who doesn't like dogs at all, very much) all the way through the visit. Instead of telling it off, the dog owner was like, "Oh, it's excited, blah blah blah". No offence, but if you can someone is uncomfortable with your dog, can't you move it away for just a few hours?

    6 Do you have a charity you particularly favour? What is it?

    I support oxfam, cafod and amnesty international.

    7 Say something positive about yourself.

    Erm...I have nice hair? LOL :P

    8 I have a slight preoccupation with the letters that one has to enter to verify a comment. Here are some recent favourites: entub, normip, sestorta. Do you take any notice of these? Do you have any that have made you laugh? What do you think /sestorta/ might mean????
    Yeah, I do! They're so odd but very funny. Not a clue what Sestorta might mean. I think if you collect all the words up, on a piece of paper, then sprinkle sugar over them, then say the word sestorta (because it's like the king of all the words, amirite?) you turn into a mermaid. Fact.

    9 Is mental health a subject that concerns you?

    Yes. Well, I've not been affected by it directly (nor family members etc.) but I don't joke about it and if someone was doing a sponsored run or something, for mental health, I'd sponser them. Does that make any sense? Sorry if it doesn't.

    10 Say something positive about your workplace.
    Not old enough to work yet :P But my school is pretty cool. Good friends.

  3. 1 Your fave pink polish?

    Well my fav pink polish is the polish that started my polish obsession! Barry M Fuscia i am on my 3rd bottle of it now :)

    2 The polish you most looked forward to but disappointed you in reality.

    Gosh Holographic. It is amazing but it chips within an hour whenever wear it

    3 The best contest/competition/whatever that you have ever won.

    When i was in Year 6 we had to design a picture for a traffic awareness calender and i won first place :) i got to meet the mayor and a £20 voucher for WHSmith

    4 For what polish, if any, would you (or have you) paid over £15?

    I've never bought any that expensive but some of the Chanel ones look good

    5 Tell me about your pets or thoughts on pets.

    I've had 3 gold fish. The first was accidently killed by my sister 'feeding' it with nail polish remover. The other 2 had a fight and died LOL

    6 Do you have a charity you particularly favour? What is it?

    I like small charities :)

    7 Say something positive about yourself.

    I have nice eyes !

    8 I have a slight preoccupation with the letters that one has to enter to verify a comment. Here are some recent favourites: entub, normip, sestorta. Do you take any notice of these? Do you have any that have made you laugh? What do you think /sestorta/ might mean????

    I like looking at them too they're always almost words and they make me smile :) Sestorta sounds like some cheesy Italian guy

    9 Is mental health a subject that concerns you?

    One of my close friends brother had downs syndrome so i know how it can affect people.

    10 Say something positive about your workplace.
    Im only just old enough to work and haven't yet got a job :)

  5. Ms Student: You are so right about not letting dogs slobber and intimidate guests. I love my pets but it HAS to be people first. I shouldn't have revealed sestorta to the world now I know it has such power! I hope nobody tries to become a mermaid after what you wrote because the consequences could be disastrous!
    Vegesaurus: Good luck with jobs or college or whatever floats your dinghy. GOSH holo was frankly sh!te, I agree. What an "interesting" sister. Perhaps you shouldn't have pets... hm... ;o)

  6. I really like the jellies on you, they melt into your nail, or it looks like your nails are made of jelly! The glitter goes well with the green too :)

    I'm having one of those bad nail days after my new nail polish I've been dying to wear arrive with no brush in it! I tried cleaning a old, rubbish nail polish brush and using that and just made a mess, so I'm giving up! Regroup for a better nail day tomorrow!

  7. I've never seen those jellies before but they really look amazing. I'm seriously tempted with the green.

  8. Yey, you agree with me (about the dogs) What pets do you have? :) Thanks for replying Jaljen. And you always write such witty comments :P
    I've never been called Ms Student before, it's quite cool :D And as an aside (about the words) as I was posting a comment on another blog, I got the words "pinis" and "flogbkm"
    Hmm. :P

  9. Thanks, everyone.
    Well, Ms Student, you don't reveal your name on your profile!
    Vix, I love these on my desk too. The sun shines through them like jewels!
    Gem, no! No brush. I have 2 where the brush screws off half the time. Irritating.
