<br />
Christmas is SO close! I've had a busy few days helping family out, & didn't get to take photos 'til tonight, so there is a teeny bit of wear on these nails & I've destroyed my fingers with all the manual work crap (My Grandad moved houses yesterday,) but thought I'd share them with you anyway.<br />

MY POOR SHREDDED FINGERS!!!<br />
<br />
I'm trying to decide what nails I want for Christmas Day! Too many ideas. This was going to have much more detail but in the end I quite liked the simplistic design. I will be making my fingers all pretty again in the New Year.Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-55104848000185152982013-12-15T13:11:00.000-08:002013-12-15T13:11:06.741-08:00Quick Christmas Mani!Hi Girls!<br />
<br />
So, I did a quick Christmassy mani this afternoon whilst talking to a friend. I started then realised I needed a cup of tea, so it was a bit of a rush job, & I used it more to practice mixing up colours & seeing what I could get. I also wanted to get back into doing freehand.<br />
<br />
Ignore the messy finish & pretend it's magificent!<br />

<br />
I'm hoping my next one should have a bit more focus on neatness. After abandoning my poor hands & nails for a few months, they're in a very sorry state. New Years resolution is to get them into a beautiful condition.<br />
<br />
I have a few ideas of what I want to do next, so may get to work tomorrow evening & get another post up.<br />
<br />
I will get back into it. Rawr!Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-17486749389518358442013-12-10T09:54:00.001-08:002013-12-10T09:54:54.402-08:00Worlds worst blogger?Hello!<br />
<br />
I know I've been MIA the last few months, & I'm really sorry about that. I'm going through a few things that I wont bore you with, & I lost all love of nail art.<br />
<br />
This is a tiny short post, but a friend gave me a little inspiration, so I managed to come up with this.<br />

I have a few ideas so I really hope I can get myself back into it, because deep down, I'm still in love with it.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm so very near catching up. Go Me!<br />
<br />
I've had this idea in my head for a few months now, & lucky it fit in with this challenge. I have no idea what the typical idea for this challenge would be, but who likes following the norm!<br />

<br />
I have to admit, I wasn't a huge Powerpuff Girls fan. I don't remember ever watching it as a kid, I much preferred the cartoons aimed at 'boys' Girly stuff was not my thing.<br />
<br />
I did not get on anywhere near as well as I'd have liked, still I did it, sort of.<br />

I hate free-hand. I'm not an artist, I can't even draw a stickman to save my life.<br />
<br />
I'm stuck in the bedroom at the moment, not feeling too well, hence bad lighting. I keep promising I'll sort it out, & I really will. I just remember that lighting is crap, then can't be bothered to do it or the current photos, & tell myself next time I will do it. I really need to stop putting things off.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping the next challenge will be quicker, easier, & far less stressful, though, watching Downton Abbey whilst doing the nails made it a bit more fun. I live down the road from Highclere Castle, so it's always fun watching it.<br />

<br />
So, this challenge is inspired by your hero. This was a toughy for me. There was an obvious person, but I did not want to go with that. Turns out, I had to go with that person, I don't have too many heroes!<br />
<br />
As I've said before, I lost my Nan in May. I'm very glad I have tape over my webcam right now, because talking about her still breaks me.<br />
<br />
My Nan is amazing. I mean, one of a kind. There were many roads I could have gone down with this. She liked socks, but, if I was doing this in her memory, I can't use 'socks' as the one thing that defines her. I sat back & thought about what made her my hero, & not 'just' my Nan. It was pretty obvious in the end.<br />
<br />
My Nan, though we lost her when she was only 70, had to deal with so many shitty illnesses, the fact she made it to seventy is amazing. The last couple of years of her life she suffered from Dementia.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>(My Brother is doing a charity event at the end of the month for Alzheimers research in her memory. Link to his Just Giving page is <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/Kieron-Evans">HERE</a>. Please consider sponsoring him.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
She also had diabetes, though she was a terrible diabetic.<br />
<br />
The main thing, she had Lupus. Now, if my Mother reads this, I apologise, but I fucking hate this disease. My Nan must have been diagnosed twenty odd years ago, though it took a long time for her to get that diagnosis, as it's really not easy to do so. I grew up watching her suffer with this, & she didn't complain. The disease itself, to make it easier for people who have only ever heard it in House M.D, is slightly like AIDS, however, you don't contract it. The immune system will attack itself. My Nan ended up with a blood infection, & died of multiple organ failure. Whilst Lupus was not put down as the cause for this, it most definitely was. Her body could not fight off the infection. She fought so hard for so many years. Any time she got ill, she would fight & win. This was just one fight too many. I was there with her when she died in hospital. Something I swore I'd never do, as death scares the shit out of me. But, she was my Nan, & I needed to be there. It was heart breaking, & the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but there was also a sense of "She's not suffering anymore'<br />
<br />
So, the obvious thing to do, was to go with Lupus. She inspired me with just how hard she fought against it, how she did not let it run her life, even if that did get harder as time went on, & adding the other illnesses. She was the strongest person I have ever met, yet she always put the kids & Grandkids before herself. She could be having a really bad day with pain, but never spoke about it, & if I rang her up in tears about some stupid thing, I was her first concern. I was her favourite Grandaughter. (The only one, but that's beside the point) & she was my Old Woman. An inside joke that went on for nearly fifteen years.<br />

<br />
One of the symbols for Lupus is a purple butterfly. One of the symptoms is a butterfly shaped rash over the face, which is why it seems like a pretty symbol.<br />
<br />
So, I did purple butterflies.<br />

<i>Note the ring. My Nan gave me this ring years ago. When I was in hospital with her, 24 hours before we lost her, the gem 'fell out' I have no idea where. I was devastated. However, a friend pointed out to me, that I should look at is as if the Old Woman took it with her. Naive, maybe, but I like it.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
They're not the best images, & I'm not even going to go self critic, as doing something for my Nan like this, I was never going to think it was good enough. She liked looking at what I'd done on my nails though, so I'm pretty sure that even if they were total shit, she'd tell me they were amazing.<br />
<br />
I love & miss my Nanny more than I can say. You can't describe this in words. The pain will always be there, I'm sure. I just hope more than anything, a cure for Lupus will be found in my life time.Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-69297790268525364812013-08-07T15:09:00.000-07:002013-08-07T15:09:00.361-07:00Challenge 28 - Elegant - FAILJust a quick post.<br />
<br />
I am the least elegant person in the world. I don't do elegance very well, so this challenge was always going to fail.<br />
<br />
I decided to play with the my Rio lace foils again. I let my boyfriend pick the colours, & well, I was impatient.<br />
<br />
I said I'd post the superb fails too, so here it is.<br />

Owning a cat & doing your nails is hard, cat fur EVERYWHERE.<br />
<br />
So, I didn't let the glue dry enough, & boom, ruined manicure! There is a chance I may come back to this one eventually, but this is it for now.<br />
<br />
The main reason I've rushed this, is that I have an idea of what I want to do for the next challenge, & I'm pretty excited about it, should it go the way I have it in my head.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I HATE BLING NAILS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I honestly do. I think they look tacky & cheap. I don't know if this manicure can be considered bling, I tried, I really did. I even put on some cheapy rhinestones to try and 'bling' it up. Don't get me wrong, I adore jewellery & pretty, shiny things. But on nails, meh. Considering most packs of the rhinestones you get are worth a quid, & you do get a lot in there, again I say cheap & tacky. </div>

As you can see, I got bored of the rhinestones, so you get half a nail. Points for trying though! I had to take the photos in two different lights, as the Grit FX polish looked different in different rooms. However, I do love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm glad that one is out of the way!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Going to do my nails tonight after I've done the washing up, so hopefully a new post sooner rather than later.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I did get an email asking me if I'd do a tutorial for the seaside nails. Short answer, no. Honestly, I have no idea how I do half the things. I don't put lots of thought into it. I will either have a film on, or watch the kitten cam whilst doing my nails. My attention is never fully on what I've done. If I paid the extra attention & photographed each bit I did, I think I'd get even more critical of myself, & I'd grow very tired with nail art. Besides, there are so many blogs with amazing tutorials, I'd feel like I'm taking the piss.</div>

On a completely different note, Dennis my diabetic cat has a vet appointment tomorrow. He has been a bit off colour the last few weeks, so I'm very nervous about it. My boyfriend also has an operation on Saturday. I'm an awful girlfriend, I'm more nervous about my cat... oops!</div>

<br />
Oooh, I'm back sooner than I thought I would be. I managed to catch a couple more hours of sleep, so felt all refreshed. My boyfriend was asleep on the sofa, so figured I'd just play around with my nails.<br />
<br />
Today it's all about 'Think Pink' I decided quite quickly I would do something like my blog background. I should learn that my thinking never does any good. I despise striping tape. A lot of girls use it in their manicures, but I have zero patience. It's so fiddly, I'm not ashamed to admit I threw the bloody reel a few times. Stupid thing.<br />
<br />
Still, I had my mind set on it, & I didn't have any other ideas for the challenge so I went with it. To be fair, it doesn't look too much like the background, but you get the idea.<br />
<br />

Ignoring the horrible striping tape, it was pretty easy. Normal gradient, then gradient again but swapping the colours. Take tape off & Boom!</div>

As I mentioned before, I watch a <a href="http://new.livestream.com/FosterKittenCam/TheLooneyFosters">Kitten Cam</a>. (I love it, but I always feel when I admit it, I should be dodging Crazy Cat lady jibes!) A fellow viewer has been creating mini felt kittens of the litters, then auctioning them to raise money for Purrfect Pals, the cat Shelter a certain Foster Dad works for. The lovely viewer then surprised a couple of us with out own mini kitties! My red hair turned an awesome candy floss pink, so yay for pink haired kitty. I had a huge grin when I saw the photo of this, & an even bigger grin when she said she would send it to me. It's absolutely amazing! Check out her page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VividFlame?fref=ts">HERE</a>, she is so talented. You will be able to see all her creations. </div>

<br />
I was naughty! I was planning on doing my nails yesterday afternoon, but I fell into a food coma after my Roast Dinner. Buh-Bye normal sleep pattern.<br />
<br />
However, I totally got a reply to an email from Frank Turner. Happy Kay is happy.<br />
<br />
Anyway, nails!<br />
<br />
Inspired by summer, & England has actually had a summer this year. It's crazy! We've had heatwaves! I've been to the beach a couple of times. We went to a place called Lepe beach a few weeks ago. Had never heard of it, but it was amazing. I prefer quiet places, & this place was just beautiful.<br />
<br />
I had to do a seaside manicure. However, I haven't done anything freehand like this in months, so it's not perfect, but not bad for getting back into it. Well, that's my opinion & I'm sticking to it.<br />
<br />
It took me a few hours, purely because I was doing bits every so often. I'd do the base, then do something else for an hour or so, then do the sea & so on. It was a relaxing way to spend the time I should have been sleeping. Not too much stressing over this one. I did google after I'd finished it & saw some amazing seaside manicures. My thought to this "Oh you talented Bastards"<br />

<br />
Like I said, I spent ages doing this on & off. I can't tell you exactly how I did it. I used sponges & brushes, & I danced. I danced lot.<br />
<br />
It's pretty basic, but I'm trying to get back into this, not stress myself out of it. Hopefully one day soon I'll try someone that needs a little bit of talent to do!<br />
<br />
I haven't looked what the next challenge is, but pretty sure I can't be that far off from catching up.<br />
<br />
Hope you have fantastic Sunday!Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-61650391623660444122013-08-03T07:32:00.001-07:002013-08-03T07:32:25.292-07:00Challenge 24 - MetallicOooh, Saturday!<br />
<br />
I did some housework this morning, & I'm cooking a roast dinner, but I've made time to play with my nails! I have been moisturising them like crazy to try & feel better about battering them with so much polish & acetone.<br />
<br />
This morning I got round to doing metallic nails. I've only got one metallic polish, which sounds sad in itself. This is where stamping plates come in use.<br />
<br />
This may be the easiest manicure I've ever done! I quite like the results of it too!<br />
<br />
I used Sally Hansens Navy Baby as the base, & then Barry M's Gold foil for the stamping. I sealed with a crappy unbranded top coat, & Ta Da! Nail Art!<br />

<br />
I will sort out using the lightbox a friend & I cleverly created. I'm terrible at taking photos in the kitchen. Despite my job being a solderer since I was 20, & the fact I love nail art, when it comes to taking photos, my hands do some weird shaking dance.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit sad to take this design off, but I am determined to catch up! I have an idea for the next challenge, though it may make me lose my temper.<br />
<br />
Time to be a grown up. Must wash up, sort out the roast, wash up, then I shall play again! Woo!<br />

<br />
Everything about this Manicure is new!<br />
<br />
I was NOT looking forward to this one at all. I do like challenges, but this one is just a total shit to do. I'm not usually a fan of it when it's done amazingly, so I wasn't ever going to like this one.<br />
<br />
Still. I have it a go, & whilst it is messy, it's not too bad for a first attempt at the design. I just ended up doodling whilst watching my boyfriend play The Last of Us on PS3, watching kittens on Livestream, & listening to Frank Turner. I AM WOMAN, WATCH ME MULTI-TASK.<br />
Sadly, Alan has stopped playing to watch this weird film, Livestream wont let me watch anything &, well, I could listen to music still, but I'm not...<br />
<br />
Anyway! For this design I used Mainly Barry M! I used the fancy black nail art pen for the doodles (Yay doodles!) I also used Dragon, Papaya, Blueberry, a limited edition yellow one & then Sinful Colors (Colours*) Pistache. I also used a couple of studs, just because I hadn't used them before.<br />
<br />
I still haven't gotten new batteries for the cam, so bad photos again. Though, my kitchen light seemed brighter tonight!<br />

I've got a new top coat on the way, so hopefully that's going to make things easier, stupid cheap & crappy top coat that ruins the nail art. I will get back into doing the clean up properly, starting by not being so messy in the first place, & by not using the palm of my hand to wipe my acetone soaked brush on!<br />
<br />
I also need to focus on making my lines sharper. This was the first time using the nail art pen, so it was never going to be perfect. Then again, even if I was amazing, I'd find a fault. I'm my own worst critic sometimes.<br />
<br />
It was a fun thing to do on a Friday night though, & I really think I'm getting the nail mojo back. I didn't have to force myself to do these, which is the first time for a long time. I'm looking forward to my nails being stronger, so I can shape them & make them look awesome, instead of different shapes & lengths.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I shall be doing metallic... I have zero ideas or this.

<br />
I quite like gradient. I never used to be able to do it, & I hate not being able to, or being told not to do things. I'm far too stubborn for my own good.<br />
<br />
Sadly, the batteries on my camera died, & again I'd left it 'til evening so crappy light, still, imagine that the light is great!<br />
<br />
I had a shitter of a time doing the clean up. I love Sally Hansen polishes, but they stain my skin BAAAD!<br />
<br />
I used SH 'Thinking Of Blue' & "Anenome of mine" Plus Barry M's 'Pomegranate' I then used Cheeky plate CH11 with an unbranded silver polish. I finished up with my Rimmel Matte finish.<br />
<br />
I keep saying this, but they really do look better than I'm able to photograph them right now. I am my own worst critic, but I actually like the end result of these.<br />

I do have batteries somewhere, but I tidied, which means they could be anywhere. It's hard taking a photo when you're trying to go as quick as you can because you're being warned the thing is about to die.<br />
<br />
If I remember, before I do tomorrow evenings manicure, I'll try & take better photos of this one.Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-75829971069386609312013-07-31T04:56:00.002-07:002013-07-31T04:58:24.292-07:00Challenge 21 - Inspired by the Supernatural!Hey!<br />

Again, another quick-ish mani. I really need to find somewhere with some decent light though. The photos do not do this any justice at all. Sad face.<br />

Bit messy & shiz, but I will catch up!Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-69963714497259840732013-07-30T14:20:00.000-07:002013-07-30T14:20:03.772-07:00Challenge 20 - Inspired by a book.Evening!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This challenge was inspired by a book. I love reading, but didn't want to do anything so simple like Harry Potter. In fact, I was totally uninspired by this challenge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I ended up looking at my bookcase, & seeing if anything caught my eye. I wish that something had been one of those books you own purely so house guests will see it & automatically think you are well cultured & bordering on genius. Instead, sorry, chic lit it was.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do actually love this book quite a bit. Sometimes a girl just needs a good trashy book to escape from the world for a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is definitely not one of my better manicures. I really want to make sure I do every challenge, & catch up so I can be back on target of doing them weekly & being able to do whatever I fancy in between. This was a ten minute jobby type thing.</div>

<i><br /></i>
<i>Rainbow nails! These were done by my beautiful friend, Quinlan, Who, as you will see, is awesome. I shall pass you over to her!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
AHOY MATEYS. I'm taking over this here blog for the week! I was actually invited to do so by Kayleigh herself, so I suppose this makes me a pretty bad pirate. My name is Quinlan, you can call me Quin, or Q, or whatever you like as long as it's nice. I'm from South Carolina, which makes me an American *flags and guns and eagles HUZZAH!*<br />
<br />
I was very honored to be asked to do a guest blog, as nail art is not exactly my forte (as you will soon see). I just don't paint my nails often enough to master nail art. I didn't use any kind of acrylic nails, which is why they are so uneven. This week's theme is "rainbow" I used a stippling technique to layer the colors and make a "confetti" effect. I randomly alternated colors on my left hand until all my nails were covered. On my right hand, I followed more of the standard ROYGBIV rainbow order, just in monochromatic stippling on each fingernail. I had a lot of pink polish so I kind of threw that in there on my thumb.<br />
<br />
Nail polishes used: WAY too many to name. See the photo provided!<br />

<br />
I promised I'd be back sooner, but bleurgh.<br />
<br />
Still, I think I'm getting back to my old self.<br />
<br />
This challenge is Water Marble. Not going to lie, I HATE WATER MARBLE!!! When I first got into nail art, it was this technique that made me fall in love. I spent so long trying to perfect it, I was so proud the first time I managed it.<br />
<br />I then completely overdid it. Again, & again, & again. Doing anything too many times will turn love into hate. I last did Marble back on Valentines Day, so it has been a while, & it took me more time than I'm proud to admit to.<br />

They're not as good as I would have wanted, but I did get fed up with them. The light was also TERRIBLE!<br />
<br />
However, guys, those are my REAL nails! Oh, yes! I've had extensions & fakes for so long, as my nails have always been weak, & nothing worked to strengthen or harden them. Then in Sainburys they had a nail hardener on sale, so thought, why the hell not, it was only a couple of quid, & I had that in change.<br />

I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, & it's AMAZING! I keep thinking I have false nails on as they're so hard & long! I haven't tried filing them into shape yet, hence why they're no so pretty. I've never been able to file my nails as they'd just split, so I'm going to wait a couple more weeks before attempting that!<br />
<br />
The next challenge is Rainbow! I have a friend who has done a mani for the challenge. It's pretty!<br />

Hi! First off, I'd like to thank Kayleigh for asking me to guest post on her blog, I'm truly honored!<br /></div>
I 'know' Kayleigh through a Livestream Kitten Cam. I knew she was awesome when I discovered not only is she a cat fiend, but a nail art fiend as well!<br /></div>
A little about myself - My name is Nicoya. I was born and raised in Santa Cruz California, a beach town that I feel is one of the best places on Earth ;) I just turned 25 this past June, and have been living with my boyfriend of 5 years in the mountains of Santa Cruz. I discovered nail art around Halloween 2012 and have been hooked ever since. To be honest, I had no clue nail art was such a thing, but I have been religiously painting my nails for the last five years.<br /></div>
I decided to share one of my favorite designs that was inspired by a top of mine. Vintage/floral/roses/wallpaper etc... </div>

<br />OPI Nail Envy base coat and Seche Vite top coat </div>
<br />OPI Light My Sapphire (shimmery dark grey, bluish, purple) I felt was the best color I had to portray the color of my top. Two Coats.<br /></div>
OPI Alpine Snow I used for the Polka dots with my largest Bundle Monster dotting tool. Since then, I've discovered a better way to place the polka dots, and if I ever do this design again, I'd use a smaller dotting tool.<br /><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
Essie Fiesta (dark pink) I used for the roses painted with the regular brown brush shown in picture. Essie Off the Shoulder (medium pink) was used to add more depth to each rose using same brown brush and not completely covering Fiesta. And lastly, Essie Fiji (light pink) I used to make the petals using the striping brush shown.<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
With floral designs I always save the leaves for last. Revlon Posh was used for the base color of the leaves painted with the brown brush. Then to add a little extra to the leaves, I smudged Sinful Colors Pistache on each leaf. </div>

<br />
Just a quick little post. I know I featured the Rio Lace Nails in my Black & White challenge, but I wanted to play again!<br />

As you can see it comes in a cute little case, which I love, purely because I am NO good at keeping things tidy & together. Whilst it does come with the red polish, you can use your own, & we did.<br />
<br />
For the base colour, we used OPI - If You Moust You Moust. I have become a HUGE fan of OPIs. & Fragrance Direct have a large selection for the bargain price of £3.99! Yay for Birthday pennies.<br />

<br />
As you can see, this was before the clean up. The lovely Megan let me play with her nails. We did this before football, so it was a bit of a rush. This only took two coats. We could have gotten away with one coat, but it does smell quite nice.<br />
<br />
The instructions say to leave the base coat to dry for 30 minutes. When this is done, you put a layer of adhesive on each of the nails, as I'll explain, we ended up doing on the accent nails. The adhesive smells JUST like the glue you used to use at primary school. I could easy take up a glue sniffing habit! You leave the adhesive for ten minutes,<br />
<br />
Next was putting the foil on. We did have trouble with this. It says cut out enough for all the fingers, so we cut the foil in to ten little squares, as we were going to do every finger. Bad idea. Seriously, unless there is an easy way to tell which way down the foil has to go, you can easily bugger it up (which we did) You put it on the wrong way, when you take it off, you get no design, & you lift up have the base coat too!<br />
<br />
We decided to just do the accent nails, & cut off as we needed it. You place it on the nail with the adhesive on, then it needs pressing down. They supply you with the same cuticle pusher you get in the Rio UV Gel Extensions kit, but honestly, I like causing Megan pain, so I just you my hands to push it down & make sure it's all smooth,<br />
<br />
Then, you carefully peel it off, leaving behind pretties!<br />

<br />
With a bit more practice I will definitely do all the fingers, & I do have some ideas of some colour combinations.<br />
<br />
I will also sort out getting batteries for my camera so I can take some better quality photos, these were done with Megs iPhone, so not the best, but you get the idea.<br />
<br />
I do have some exciting news. For the next challenge, I have a guest post! Is that cheating? I don't know & I don't care. She is a fantastic nail artist, I can't wait for you to see her design.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a manicure from a few weeks ago.<br />
<br />
I originally took a break from blogging as I broke my wrist & I was quite poorly. I would have been back sooner, but on the 14th May, I lost my Nan.<br />
<br />
My Nan was one of the most important people in my life, & I'm still struggling to come to terms with the loss.<br />
<br />
For her funeral, the dress code was bright & ridiculous.<br />
<br />

<br />
My Nan was a big fan of colourful knee high socks. I'm sure people who saw the funeral goers had to take a double look.<br />
<br />
Because of this, I wanted bright nails. To be honest, I was a little disappointed with them. I did them the night before the funeral, & I just wasn't getting any inspiration, so I went with something very simple.<br />
<br />

This was before the clean up, & taken on my phone, so again poor quality, but I didn't expect to blog about them, but it was definitely inspired by bright & cheerful colours.<br />

<br />
I didn't realise how far behind I am on the challenge. Bollocks! Going to take a while to catch up.<br />
<br />
This is just a quickie, something to try & get me back into the habit of doing my nails.<br />
<br />
My Birthday was on the 16th & a friend bought me Rio Lace Nail Foils. I tried them how on her on Monday but couldn't get it right. I figured I'd just stick with an accent nail when I tried it on myself, which I managed to get right.<br />
<br />
The annoying thing about this, is there is no clear indication which side down you're meant to stick the foil, or if there is, I'm blind to it. Still, it's pretty, & the adhesive reminds me of primary school!<br />
<br />

There is only one photo as my camera has run out of batteries so I had to see what I could do with my phone.<br />
<br />
I actually painted my nails black at the weekend, so there is a little bit of wear<br />
<br />
Hopefully the next mani will have a bit more oompf!Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722097628276711356.post-88109935956680964092013-06-21T13:06:00.004-07:002013-06-21T13:06:43.378-07:00Will be back soon!HIIII!<br />
<br />
The last few months have been a bit shit, with illness & major loss in the family.<br />
<br />
However, I am hoping to have a new post up this weekend!<br />
<br />
Exciting times! It's taken a while to want to even do my nails, but I've got that itch back.<br />
<br />
Also, I dyed my hair:<br />

This is me with my brand new laptop Hilda. Some amazing people got together and raised the money so I could get her, as sadly, Lawrence decided to give up on me.<br />
<br />
All my laptops have had male names, & they've all let me down. Will be interesting to see if now I have a 'female' laptop, she will last forever.<br />
<br />

Sorry for lack of updates. I'm not very well. I fainted getting out of the bath, smashed my head, & broke my wrist.<br />

I'm getting over the concussion now, I still can't eat without being sick though.<br />
<br />
The worst thing - No pretty nails.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to being able to get back into it in a few weeks.<br />

<br />
Sorry for the absence. My laptop has been naughty, & wont charge, I've managed to get enough charge to do this post, & send an email!<br />
<br />
I'm not the biggest fan of Red Nail Polish, but this had more of an orange shade to it. I think Red can look ridiculously sexy on a night out, but for every day wear, meh.<br />

I will say that this polish stains like a bitch. I still have hints of of around my cuticles. *Glare*<br />
<br />
My new job has also destroyed my nails, which has given me a bit of a sad face. Going to try & sort them out later if I can find the energy!<br />
<br />
Hope you're all okay.<br />

These photos were taken Sunday evening, so as it got colder, it seemed to affect the smoothness of the polish on the nail. That's my excuse anyway. I know my hands were shaking. We have no heating, so brrr.<br />
Still, it's a charming shade. Whilst I love the colour, I'd already done two plain manicures, so I wanted to add a little something else. I'd found this Maybelline polish in the 99p shop a while back, so used that on my accent nail, it has teeny tiny bits of glitter in, which you can only see when you move your nail. This still cheers me up. Both Polishes have such a shiny finish, that the photos don't do them justice, You can even see my reflection in a couple of the pics. It's not a flaw in the nail, it's ME!<br />
<br />
As expected for 99p, the Maybelline isn't the best to apply. It's very thick & clumpy, you either have to much on the brush, or not enough. I do adore the colour though.<br />
<br />
The OPI, like the previous swatches went on lovely. This was only two coats, which meant it took a matter of minutes, which is fantastic to know!<br />
<br />
Another Swatch tomorrow, so look out for that.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today will be my first day at work. So nervous! (<i>Edit: I'm writing this today, 02/04, & yes, I'm nervous haha</i>)<br />
<br />
I've done two swatches for today, two of the minis from the OPI The Top Ten set. I'm putting these two together as they're both pretty neutral shades.<br />
I'm not a huge fan of the neutral nail. I know they are subtly beautiful, but when I look at them, they never put a smile on my face as the more in your face brands do.<br />
<br />
First up is <b>Bubble Bath</b>:<br />

The batteries on my camera died half way through the photos, & whilst changing them, my index & middle nails stuck together. I probably should have waited for them to dry fully, but I want to get a few more swatches in today.<br />
This is quite a subtle pink, & it is pretty, but it takes quite a few coats to get any opacity to it.<br />

Next up is <b>Tickle My France-y</b><br />

Despite only taking a few photos of this shade, I actually like this one quite a bit. I did take more, but it's getting chilly & they were coming out too blurry.<br />
Yes, it is neutral, but it almost has a multiple personality. I basically looked at my nails & though "Ooooh, shiny!" This didn't need a top coat at all, & only three coats to get the desired opacity. Sometimes, things in life require you to have muted nails, & I think this will be my go to polish for such occasions.<br />
Again, it applied liked a dream, dried in a reasonable time, & as I said, shinyyyyy.<br />

What are your favourite shades? Are you a neutral girl? A neon girl? Let me know. I'm naturally nosy.Kayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058340176639326996noreply@blogger.com1
