Look how short they are!! Plus konad of the day :)

I cut my nails. I had to do it. I was spending far too much time obsessing over whether to do it or not!! Then yesterday the nail on my right hand ring finger split so I took that as a sign and just chopped them all off! I know some of you will think I'm mad but the reason my nails are so strong and I can grow them so long is partly due to me doing this occasionally. It gives them a fresh start :)

They are so short though... I already miss my long ones! Never mind, it won't take them long to grow back.

Today I thought I'd try out another Nails Inc colour - Chesham Street. It is a beautiful colour and definitely added to my favourites list. My only complaint about it is that the brush was a bit rubbish!


It's described as a blue and admittedly looks blue in the pictures but in real life it looks more purple to me!

I took a million pictures of this polish but I just couldn't capture just how amazing it is!

It just looks like a navy blue in all these pics but there is alot more to this polish than that :)

The below picture is the closest I could get to showing the purple in the polish.


As I said yesterday I am going to see Harry Potter tonight and I was going to attempt to draw some HP themed things on my nails with my nail brushes but I just haven't had the time today so I just did a more simple idea instead.

This is using konad plate m3.

I'm quite pleased with the result :)

Anyway, I am off to have some dinner and watch Harry Potter.
Hope everyone's having a good week! Nearly the weekend - yaya!

I do the same to my nails when several of them start to peel or break. I never wear them very long to begin with (the length your nails are now is the longest I let mine get), so sometimes I have to cut them all the way down and just make sure they're shaped nicely.

Pretty shade! Nail Inc. polishes always look great when someone posts them, but not a brand we have in the US. I always miss my nails too, but find them easier to Konad, for example when they're short. And they'll grow back :)

Your nails still look gorgeous. I love that colour. Very pretty on you. I adore the little stars. That will go well seeing Harry Potter. I hope it's as good as the others. I always hope JK Rowling will revisit Harry Potter at a later date and write another book. I would love that.

I love this length of your nails. I also think that dark polish looks best on short nails. and that fascinating blue on your shorter nails looks great!
I love the konad stars - very harry pottery :-)
enjoy the film! (I'm going next week)

They are short! But they look great, I love the shape of them :)
That's a seriously gorgeous color! In your photos it looks like my OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue! but that one shot, I see the purpley color in it.

Oooh, I'm going to have to get that colour. I love me some dark blue and dark purple, so it's gotta be a winner!

I would miss long nails too but I really like the short-er nails. You've shaped them beautifully. And I love the Harry Potter inspired nails. Colour of polish and Stars fab! :)

I love that color! It is what I was hoping Illamasqua's Phallic would be.
I love the pictures of Barnaby, he is adorable!
