MISSING IN ACTION : Where has christie been?

By : Unknown
So I'm guessing not many people read this blog anyway but i feel like i should explain where Ive been the pass months. Ive had an all together busy few months and something had to give, some things have been bad, some good and some amazing !

WORK

With there beening a few changes at work. i was finally given a promotion ( YAY ). but also meant there was a lot more responsibility given too me. With problems along the way and hiccups almost every day means Ive been working long hours, with only a small amount of own time. Hopefully though this issues will be right from this week, therefore back to having set days where i have time off :)

BRANCHING OUT

Rather than just doing my normally making and doing i took an opportunity to do some voice over work! I'm working with a lovely chap, (when he has the time too) for https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBRm8FteUW22qfV4ek66E3w . Doing some comedy and will be playing daisy flowers in an up coming comedy series for the channel!

On the topic of comedy, i also did my first ever stand up routine for a small audience :D Ive wanted to do stand up since i was 16, then a month back some friends got me to perform some of my writing. Plus the open mic i did it for have asked me back this month but alas Ive not had the time to write. So i hope some time in the future i will be able to take the stage again.

CONS & COSPLAY

Another hobby of mine is sewing i decided to take on the massive task of making a Jane from Disney's Tarzan costume with a steam punk edge :P I made it and got to comic con but just for the one day ! so being the keen sewer i made a Jessie from Pokemon costume for the month after too! which i when to both days. Fingers crossed the plan will be the Whole week end in May with 3 costumes across the week end .
Friday - Jessie again , Saturday- Kitana from mortal combat, Sunday - Jane

Finally another BIG plus of all these cons Ive made some awesome new friends and had Major fun with my old :D

Final words

So your probably what all this has to do with nail. well it means ill now have some more time on my hands to do all these amazing this but with fabulous nails ! so look out for my Christmas blogging and hauls

TGIF : I.O.W Haul part duex

By : Unknown
    So a couple of months ago i showed off my haul for my isle of wight trip. Well that was  the first trip! Ive just come back from my second and the frist thing ive done when landing was buy more nail polish... Theres a shop in the uk called peacocks, the ones closest to us have all shut down. So when we stop in the isle of wight we always nearly stop to stock up . There known for having W7, low and behold they had a stack of polishes.
    £2.50 each i know i had them on my amazon wish list for the same price but i though at lest i can see the prober colours . Ive wanted Space Dust and Space Debris ever since i brought metalic venus . Spearmint i know is a dupe for Mermaid Tears by OPI. Then finally Pearly a powder blue with a green shimmer

By : Unknown
Im back ! (For a bit anyways) work is hectic as always :( i have been doing nail arts though and lots of buying ! Too much buying as my mum would put it ! So for my TGIF haul i have a collection from both the poundshop and online . 

Wedding Glitters, Lite, Lemon soda, sunny side and tarnised gold

I did a manicure with Lite, i added a wave pattern from moyou sailor 04 in china glaze pool party
I when a bit mad on yellows during this hall as i need a yellow gold to print with for a manicure . But theyve not been brought in vein as my old yellow is nearly half way down. 



The last three were purchses this week. Im not keen on the rimmels barmy blue its fairly watery. The spare-a mint dries a lot darker than the bottle . Im in love with the madgenta moves though! prints well and a one coater

Nail fail

By : Unknown
Today I have nail fail for you all ! I had a idea of having striking black and yellow nails. My down fall was my base the white would not dry . Then layered tons of yellow to try and cover the streakieness of the white . Then as I printed on it it smooshed . Not a bad combo just not perfect !

Poundland haul : Isle Of White

By : Unknown
Even on holiday i was to go in to a poundland to see if the has anything different to what was in my own. Guess what they did ! (more polishes to add to the ones i brought before even going on holiday ) . They had mainly sinful colours so i picked up three. they were Tokyo pearl, Timbleberry and lets talk. I also got one of the last China glazes they had and kicked myself when i got back to the hotel that i didn't take the other two for birthday prezzies ! We have the china glaze colour crushed candy.

Tokyo Pearl,Crushed Candy,Lets Talk and Timbleberry.

I also purchased some cute moustache stickers :) If anyone has seen A million ways to die in the west lately youll know what i was thinking of when i brough them. below is a pic with them on a nail. Also Crushed candy over Tokyo Pearl.
Bonus picture !
I also picked up a summer read for a £1! I though the cover looked so pretty!

Nailart: Diabetes awareness week

By : Unknown
Happy diabetes week ! I may have mention before on this blog that i have diabetic. Having diabetes for 9 years has been a eye opener to how much there is to know. I'm sure diabetics old,new ,young and old all still learn new things every day.
  The unpredictability of it day after day is a big worry for yourself and those around you. When a customer asks me at work how my diabetes is or what it like having it, i usually just say its OK . This is because i think of it as a routine but also so i have to explain the ups and downs in one day. That's when the unpredictability comes in yes it may of been OK that morning but this afternoon i could feel c*** !
   JDRF UK have also brought back the #bloodsugarselfie This time if you donate to JDRF UK , diabetes care by Bayer are matching it e.g text "JDRFUK11 £5" to 70070 and they will get £10 pounds.
   Now how does nail art come into this ? Well i think its important to have a way to relax and switch off from the worries of the unpredictability of having diabetes . On the other hand iv always though if my going to to be stabbing my fingers 5-100 times a day they should look good!
For my nail art i tryed water marbling for the very first time. As diabetes colour is blue i used Sally Hensens Blue Bye and Rimmel Lycra Sea Green. I started off with a base of BarryM matt white. Adding the black tear drops (or should i say blood muahahah) from my primark nail wheel .

Nailart: Egyptian eyes

By : Unknown
This nail art i want to use china glaze Lubu Heels. It took me ages to prep my new squishy stamper and i tryed to use it with my plates but alass i couldnt get it to work again. I wanted just a simple design all over. so i desided to use mt Moyou Explorer 17 . Using rimmel 60 second rock and red i printed to create a gorgous nail. very chic looking if i say so my self .

That week end i had my aunties 60th, so to match my nails i put on my new tights which have the same kinda pattern.

Nailart : Lets go crazy

By : Unknown
    Fun little nail art this week ! I printed with my Moyou time travellers 80's 02 . I used rimmels Lycra lets go crazy and NYC lexington yellow . To start with i was going to use Jess neon yellow but that didn't work so i tried going over it in rimmel Lycra sea green . My thumb is a disgrace ! The green did not sponge, plus was too dark to print over . Originally i was only going to do the pattern of the first nail on all of them but i think trying out all the prints came out better .

Nailart: Purple and green

By : Unknown

  So many ideas so little time. I decided to go back to basics and do a plain skittlette. I also wanted to break out my favourite Lycra polishes . Now green and purple: i seem to have thing about this colours together. Whatever colours i pick in anything make up, colouring and nail nail Polish ill nearly always start with purple and green . I remember the first nail big branded nail colour i got where Barry M's a lime green and shiny purple (this was back when a far as i know they weren't given names). The first sinful colours i picked were a shiny green (show me the way) and purple (i love you). Finally the first skittlette i did was using purple and green as it with my favourite books" The Parasol Procreate" by Gail Carriager ( the first book being "soulless"). 
  Any way that was old nail art and old habits die hard. for this look i used Sally Hansen's Kiwi Bikini, Barry M countess on the pinkie,Rimmel Lyra  Night Flight and Posh trash for the printing. the pattern i wanted to use one I've never used, i when to my first set of plates i ever brought and chose one i hadn't even taken the cover off ! its from GALS princess set GA16 . Too finish off i used my primark nail wheel.
