Gosh Holographic Konadicure and The Google Game

Hi!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was pretty quiet but I did go to a party on Saturday night so I did my nails for the occasion.

I finally bought Gosh's Holographic so thought I'd give that a go topped with Konad black polish using image plate M70.

I really loved the result -

Excuse the cuticle area... I've been picking!

I got lots of comments on this manicure, always a good sign :)

I absolutely love Gosh Holographic, I don't know why I put off getting it for so long.

Lastly, I saw the Google game on several people's blogs and thought I'd give it a go. It made me laugh a lot!

My life according to Google - Type in the following and choose from the first description found.... Be honest, don't just pick one out to be funny!

Let me know if you have a go at this game, I love reading other people's!

My Bling!

Hey!

Just a quickie post to show those of you who have asked, and are not on twitter, my engagement ring!

Here it is -

I love it so much. Maz chose it all on his own and he couldn't have chosen anything more perfect.

I'll show you what I was wearing on my nails that day because, this is, of course, a nail blog!

The pictures were taken several days into the manicure though so there's alot of tip wear.

Also, for some reason I didn't take very many pics so these aren't the best -

The base is OPI's Absolutely Alice with Stargazer's silver chrome printed on the top with konad image plate M60.

I've chopped my nails off today to as short as they'll go because they're in such bad condition. Think I might go naked for a couple of weeks to try and give them a break... bet I don't last more than a couple of days!

Hope everyone's doing great! Sorry about my appauling lack of responding to comments... I will really try to catch up!

Hormonal Balance (boys beware), a NOTD and some news!

Hi! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted anything. I am truly a slacker. In my defence I have had a lot going on and still do so posts will continue to be a bit sporadic!

Firstly for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter or aren't friends with me on Facebook - I got engaged! I am very, very, very happy, gobsmacked and excited and I will do a proper post all about it at some point.

Secondly, and this is completely un-nail related but something I had to tell you all about, I started taking Seven Seas Hormonal Balance tablets a few months ago and they have literally changed my (and Maz's!!)life.

I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I have PCOS (polycystic ovaries). PCOS effects women in different ways but one of the ways it effects me is I have very irregular periods. When I do get a period they're very painful and my hormones go COMPLETELY crazy turning me into an irrational mad woman. Even if I don't get the actual period, my hormones go crazy once a month without fail and I used to take it all out on Maz.

After one particularly bad 'pyscho' month I decided to try to find some sort of supplement to try and keep my hormones more under control and came across Seven Seas Hormonal Balance -

"Contains an effective combination of the minerals magnesium and zinc and the key nutrient Vitamin B6, which helps you maintain a healthy hormonal balance so that you feel like yourself, every day of the month."

I bought some, started taking it and WOW! It really works. Like really, really, really works. Not only has it balanced out my hormones so that I don't have the mood swings I was having, I also don't get nearly as irrational as I used to, I don't wake up wanting to kill someone (well not as often anyway!) and I don't overreact as much as I used to.

On top of that, when I get my actual period, there's no pain! Well the odd twinge but nothing compared to what it was like before.

I can't believe it. I was hoping it would help but I had no idea just how much it would. As I said, it has changed my life and made Maz's life far calmer ;)

I had to tell you all about it in the hopes that it can help someone else too. Obviously though everyone's different and it will work to different degrees on people.

I get it from Tescos and it costs £3.99 for 30 tablets (1 a day).

I can't recommend enough for anyone with hormone issues to go out and give this a try! If anyone does try it let me know how you get on.

Lastly, couldn't do a post without any nails at all so here's a NOTD -

Photos were taken after me having worn it for a few days thus the tip wear!
I used OPI's DS Extravagance with konad black special polish and image plate M79.

That's it for this post! Post about my engagement to follow in a few days!

Hope everyone's well and have a great weekend!

KOTD - Color Club Wild at Heart

Hey!

I recently ordered 2 of my biggest lemmings - Color Club's Wild at Heart and Revvvolution. I realise how far behind I am on these but I always been a 'I'll do it in my own time' type of girl :)

So, even though I know you've probably all seen Wild at Heart a million times already I couldn't not show you the konadicure I did over it!

I used Color Club's Wild at Heart as the base and China Glaze's IDK for the stamping with image plate M35 -

Make sure you click on these pictures for full holo effect!

Ignore my shortie index nail! It broke and I haven't evened them all up yet.

The first 6 pictures are in full sunlight (yes, we do get it occasionally here) but the last one is taken indoors to show the konading a bit more clearly.

I love it! I'm so glad I finally got Wild at Heart.

Lastly, for those of you who haven't already seen this on twitter, my pillow last night was a bit lumpy and uncomfortable...

Color Club Love 'Em Leave 'Em Konadicure

Hey!

This is a very quick post to show you what's currently on my nails -

Click on the pictures to see the full holographic effect!

I used 2 coats of Color Club's Love 'Em Leave 'Em with Konad black polish and image plate M65.

I don't usually buy colours like this but I surprised myself by absolutely loving it! So I will be buying more like this in the future :)

Oh and just because it's been a while, here are some Bobo and Barnaby pics -

Both sleeping in the airing cupboard on the nice clean towels.

Sometimes I worry that he can't relax... ;)

My beautiful girl!

OPI DS Mystery Konadicure

Hi!

Long time no see!

I have been taking a break from blogging and going online in general but I think I'm ready to get back into the swing of things now!

I went back to my home town a couple of weekends ago and had a night out with the girls. I wore a black and pink dress for the occasion and this is what I wore on my nails -

Ignore the big chip on my middle finger! I took these pictures after wearing it for about a week.

2 layers of OPI DS Mystery and Konad pink polish with image plate M65

I was really pleased with the result and I LOVE DS Mystery polish SO much! It looks black in the pictures but it's actually a very dark purple with gold flecks in it. I will be definitely be wearing it sans konad someday soon.

I have lots to catch up now, about a million blog posts to read, comments to leave and answer and emails to respond to! I am such a slacker :)

Hope everyone's been keeping well - I've missed you all!

Konadicure and 3 Things About Me

Hey!

I thought I'd show you the konadicure I did for my weekend away last week. I didn't take many pictures of it though so the photos aren't the best!

I used Sinful Color's Secret Admirer as a base with China Glaze's Devotion for the stamp using image plate M64 (yes, it's a favourite!). This was a winner judging by the number of comments I got about it :)

Also, I saw a post on Niki's blog that I just can't resist doing as well. You all know I'm a sucker for these things!

OPI's Purple With A Purpose Konadicure

Hey!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently. I have been feeling a bit disheartened with the whole thing due to various reasons so decided to take a bit of a step back. Not much of a step back though as I can't resist showing you my latest konadicure :)

I used OPI's Purple With A Purpose as a base and China Glaze's Devotion with image plate M64 for the konad.

Purple With A Purpose is a gorgeous purple. It doesn't show in any of these pictures but there is a hint of red running through the purple.

This image from M64 is definitely one of my favourites even though it still reminds me of wallpaper!

This weekend I am going away again. My friend from Australia is back for a couple of weeks so I'm going to see her! I can't wait. This time though, there will  be a lot less shots consumed!!!

Oh and for those of you who asked, Valentine's Day was great! Maz spoilt me loads. We went out for a lovely meal and he bought me lots of pressies :) The roses he got me are still going strong despite several attempts from Bobo and Barnaby to eat them.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

OPI DS Extravagance Konadicure

Hey,

Just a quickie today!

Not my favourite konad I've ever done but I do love OPI's DS Extravagance!

I used 2 coats of OPI's DS Extravagance for the base and China Glaze's Devotion for the Konad with image plate M25.

DS Extravagance is such a gorgeous colour! I've worn it before but never taken pictures for some reason... sometimes I forget!

I've added a new widget in the left hand side bar for formspring.me so if you have any questions, ask away! I'll answer most things :)

Chi Chi Moondust Konadicure!

Hello!

How is everyone? Good I hope!

I have been feeling a little strange for the past couple of weeks. When I say strange I don't really know how to explain it...just kind of uneasy I guess. Uneasy but unsure exactly what I'm uneasy about?! Does anyone else ever feel like that? Well anyway, I'm feeling better now so my blog post rate should go up a bit :)

I have a konadicure to show you today. I am very happy with how it turned out and I think it might just be my favourite one yet.....

I used Chi Chi's Moondust, which I got as part of my fab Christmas present from my friend who currently lives in Australia (I say currently because I'm hoping she's coming back one day!), as the base along with China Glaze's Devotion, which I got in my swap with Beauty Judy, as the stamp using image plate M35.

Be sure to click on these pictures to see the full loveliness of Moondust!

Moondust is SUCH a gorgeous colour. I absolutely love it, it is much more purple in person that it appears in these pictures. It is definitely a contender for favourite polish ever!

Devotion is a perfect polish for konading with. I didn't have any issues with it and now want some more similar China Glaze colours!

As you can see, my nails are quite short at the moment. When I first cut them down so short I almost cried because I thought they looked so bad but it was worth it to finally be rid of all the yellow! Plus they've grown on me now (no pun intended!) and I quite like them short :)

I have a post coming up soon of answers to some questions I've been asked a lot recently. If anyone has any more questions then ask away now and I'll answer them in the post!
