Its Sunday, Its Got To Be Nail O'Clock

I cannot believe that another week has past. It is almost like the world has started spinning faster and I just can't keep up. The hours we are missing are the ones during the night I am sure.

Worked out this morning that I have 440 polishes, and have only used 137 of them. Quite frankly I am going to fail at my intention to use all of them before Christmas. With 14 weeks left that is only 98 days, Even with the best will in the world and using two new colours per mani, thats only 196 towards my goal.

Taking all this into account my no buy is going to continue. But, with a different purpose. All the cash I would normally spend on polishes I am going to piggy bank up and my husband and I can go on holiday with it. Now how cool is that? This holiday will have to be the USA, and I don't want to be more than about 5 nights as I will be leaving little Dobby at home and that will be super hard. Done New York to death, so where the hell should I consider? I quite fancy Washington DC, but neeeed to go to Florida to the Harry Potter park. Who knows where the polish shopping is really good ? ( don't tell my husband its all about that lol)

Anyway, todays mani. I had a bit of a bargain a few weeks ago at TKMaxx and came across OPI Stranger Tides and Come to Poppy for £9.99. Stranger Tides is a lovely pale green which is almost a pastel khaki and Come to Poppy, well its pink, sometimes its orange, sometimes its pale red.

Although not supposed to go together I think they look quite good.  What do you think?

Holidays are over :( here comes the hard work!

Cannot believe how long it has been since I last blogged. Feels like forever, although the nail painting hasn't had a break.

Holiday was wonderful, cannot believe how the English weather changed so suddenly to give us a wonderful summers week. Gave us the true break we needed to get away from all the stresses and strains of life and most importantly give us some quality time with our pup.

But onto the important business.

Throughout my time I did my nails a few times and unfortunately the best manicure I did I forgot to take pictures of! I know what an amateur. But, here are the few I did take pictures of...

Firstly Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lively Lilac with a tip of Essence make Make it Golden

Then Models Own Aqua Violet which I loved, but it is really hard to photograph how pretty this is

Finally we have Catrice Absolute Chinchilly and Dior 886 New World Purple ( which is actually brown with a golden shimmer)

Also have a few newbies to announce aswell, and they are...

Three of the new Gelly collection from Barry M, they are Prickly Pear, Blood Orange and Blueberry.











Ruby Kisses Green Glitter and Fergie Wet and Wild Hollywood Walk of Fame in a swap with a lovely lady called Charlotte in America. ( the WnW is lots of little stars with hairy glitter)

Then we have three new Catrices, Iron Mermaiden which is a duochrome which turns from lilac to purple to golden green, Genius in a Bottle which is a golden green duochrome and Marilyn and me which is red with a sparkle, very similar to China Glaze Ruby Pumps, but not quite as deep red.

Then finally two Barry M crocs and a free white crackle from Superdrug. Although these never work from me after a talking to from Starrystarry on the forum I decided I should give it another go with some quality products.










Oh, and just to melt your hearts, here is the little chap we took on holiday... eating an ice cream ( please don't tell the vet)
