Would You Buyasaurus?

I've been thinking for a while about painting my own nail sets and selling them. Last week, I finally got round to ordering some sets after the lovely Paige gave me a link to a good seller on eBay. I need to do a bit more research about pricing etc. but I'm trying to gage whether anyone would be interested in buying my sets. They will mostly be freehand designs but I'll take personalised orders for any nail design you've ever seen on this blog! So... would anyone consider buying a set of nails from me?

What an eventful week I've had! I had a great night out on Saturday with my friends and managed to wake up bright and early on Sunday morning to catch a train home to surprise my Mum for Mother's Day. I came back to my house on Tuesday afternoon and spent the evening relaxing. 

I was looking forward to a fun packed Wednesday. I'd planned an afternoon in the park while the sun had his hat on and was looking forward to either another night out or a trip to the cinema but it all went downhill on my way home from uni. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know all about my woes!

As I was walking home I tripped on some uneven ground and reeeeallly hurt my ankle. At first I thought it wasn't that bad and that I'd be able to hobble home but then I looked down and it had already swollen a lot (picture of the swelling here if you like injuries and whatnot!). I called my friends to come and rescue me and we got a lift to the hospital where we spent the rest of the afternoon. I had an x-ray and luckily it isn't a break, just a bad sprain, so they sent me home with crutches and some information about caring for a sprained ankle. I've spent practically every hour since then stuck in bed with my foot propped up and I'm starting to get cabin fever! It will be a long while until I take my ability to walk for granted again. Everything is such a hassle with only the one leg functioning properly.

I've been really lacking in ideas for nail art this month but finally came up with something decent for today's mani!

And thanks to Cel for helping me choose which colour to use today because I had a really hard time deciding.

I'm loyal to nothing... except the dream

These nails really remind me of Captain America! They just need a bit of blue to be the perfect match. I know how my nails will look when I go to see the film now :D

♪♫ 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!

Here is a bonus mani from last week before I had my biting session. There will be another one up later.

Freshen Up

The beautful Marina @ Forever The Ugly Duckling sent me some of her old polishes that she doesn't get any use out of anymore. I will get a picture up tomorrow but for now, here is a manicure with one of the Barry M's.
