I'm Loud I'm Proud, Get Used to Me


I am unfortunate enough to come from a town where the EDL are protesting today. For people who don't know these people coin themselves as the 'English Defence League' and they are against radical islamist. However, when you read more into them they seem to hate anyone they don't consider belongs in the UK.

I don't like people like this, and I don't want to be associated with them. I firmly beleive that we should live and let live. I don't care where someone comes from, I don't care what they beleive in. I like nice people, and that comes top on my list. So, in defence of my little down I have been trying to let @Official_EDL aware of my thoughts on twitter. At least it has kept me amused for the morning.

As we live near the centre of town I can tell that the Police helicopter has just arrived and is hovering over the town centre. Lets just hope no one has got hurt. Hate really isn't worth it.

Anyway, onto better things. These are my lovely nails. After the brightness of yesterday I wanted something more muted, but just as beautiful, so I have cracked out my stamping plates to great effect. The base is three coats of China Glaze Hook and Line and I have used DRK A and Konad Special Paint in Black over the top. Think the effect is lovely, but very muted. I wonder what it would look like matte?

So goodbye from me for today. Lets hope the EDL don't come to a town near you soon.


Update - I couldn't resist and matted the polish with Leighton Denny Make it Matter and I adore it. It looks like fabric instead of polish. I LOVE IT

BFF Polish Challenge - Challenge 1 - Cartoon Nails

After loving the MSE and the Polishaholics challenge so much I jumped straight in when the call went out to have an eight week challenge with some of the girls there. It was decided that we would have two challenges a week, and each of the eight members have picked two themes.

Our first theme is cartoons which is a difficult one for me because I haven't watched a cartoon in about 20 years and never ever do nail art like this. I decided my theme would be something I knew and went for Minnie Mouse because she was even around when I was a girl!

The colours I have used are Essie - Tiny Wine-ey, NYC City Blackout, Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener and Hits Speciallita Powder Puff Girls Doce de leite.

I am quite impressed with the end result, ( other than my pointer which looks naff). So without further ado here are the pictures so you can make your own minds up!

Here are the blogs of the other ladies taking part so you can see their efforts aswell.

Sally Of Nail Pron

I have already been challenged by someone at work to do spongebob nails, but that will have to wait until the next round of challenges.

So do you think I have done okay?
