APRIL CATCH-UP

I have not been on for a while, kids, life, half term, back to work etc got in the way.  I did however manage to do my nails just not enough time to load on here.  So this is just a re-cap of what I wore in April.

12 APRIL 2011
This is OPI Give me the Moon.  A nice light shade and great application.

18 APRIL 2011
China Glaze - Thistle.  We went to the London Aquarium today, it was a treat for my daughter as it was her 17th yesterday and that is what she wanted to do!  I have also filed my nails down a little, not too short but not long either!

24 APRIL 2011
LA Girl - Light Show. A bright vibrant orange.  I did a little nail art with the dots here, they come out white, but in actual fact they are a pale blue, just my camera refusing to pick up the colour!

27 APRIL 2011
Zoya - Felina.  An oldie that I have had for years but I don't think I have ever worn it!  So here it is.

Just noticed in this last Zoya set of pictures, my cuticles are just awful.  Did I mention I have been helping re-decorate my sons bedroom?  Maybe that is why.  Or it could be that I have been neglecting them, I must start applying my cuticle oil as often as possible.

Nail Dis-colouration!

11 April 2011
Just wanted to show how awful the nail discolouration of my nails is.  They have been like this for a few weeks now.  I have tried all sorts of ways to whiten or clean them up but to no avail.  Oh well, just as well they get dressed or they would look awful naked :o)

Look What I got in the Post.....

 ....... I should have shared with you last week but I just never got around to it.

Are you ready??            

Well this is what the posty bought me....
                 
                     Monday......

            Then on Thursday......

They took just over a week to arrive, all packaged really well, and best of all, all in tact.  I am really happy with the communication, packaging, delivery etc I got from beautycosmetic.  There were just two shades that were out of stock and some I only got 1 of.  But as you can see I got doubles and some triples!  Why I hear you ask, well, I shall be doing something special with those, so keep a look out in the very near future.
But for now here are the ones I will be keeping.

B-Girlz it is Pink and Untried

I was going through my list of polish/lacquer last week and to my utter amazement (not!) I have SO many untrieds.  So therefore I am making it my mission to wear only those polishes/lacquers that are new and untried.
So obviously it called for a manicure change again this week.  This is the GORGEOUS B-Girlz by China Glaze. This is a lovely shimmery shade which is almost opaque in two coats followed a top coat of SV.   My natural nail at the tips is quite white/ish opaque anyway that no matter if I did put on three coats you would still see VNL.  So I stick with two coats.  Loving my nails but looking at these photos my cuticles need a serious seeing to!

Love Nails - Sinful

A manicure worn at the beginning of last week.  I would say this is a close dupe for OPI Sea? I Told You as worn here?  This is Love Nails by Sinful Colors @ only two coats, I think with three coats it would be damn close.  Any way like said two coats here and you can still see VNL.  But I don't mind, as this was lovely and shimmery.  I accented my ring finger a day later with my Sticky Back Plastic and some black polish, did not have time to do all nails.
