Nail fail
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
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.
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.

Nailart: Diabetes awareness week
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
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.
