It's been a while


I know I'm still not posting often enough but I still don't have a camera. I don't feel worthy of posting if I don't have a camera so for now I'm gonna tell you about a really cool nail look. It's Lisa Frank inspired and it is sooo cool. I've been told about the great nails of Lisa Frank by my mum in the past so when I heard about this look via http://www.xsparkage.com/ if you wanna have a look I just had to poke my nose in.

The picture is of Leesha(xsparkage)'s nails but the tutorial is by Brooke. Her channel on youtube is http://www.youtube.com/sayanythingbr00ke (the brooke is with 2 zeros instead of letter o's. So if you're interested, go and have a look, I know I sure am!

SOOOO bummed

You know how I was telling you about my manicure done on monday...and how it had no chips.... well this morning I wake up to find my whole nail was bare!!!! So I found my most similar colour nail polish (I don't really own any pinks most of mine are purple shades) but it didn't match well enough.

Sooo I had to then do a coat of that colour on all of my other nails and they don't look nearly as good :( I think I might end up taking it all of and starting again. Bummer...oh well at least my nails haven't all broken off (touchwood)
Lots of love

New camera coming!!!

OMG I can't wait until my birthday!! It's not until August but still... My mum asked me what I wanted for my birthday. She thought there was no real point because I always say I don't know which is usually true. But this time I asked straightaway for a camera!!! Which means I can finally start swatching for you guys!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!
Maybe people will actually start to read my blog which will be even better.

I think I might start up a new blog just for my life and then everything will be kept separate. Nancy's nails on Nancy's nails and Nancy's life on the other one which I am yet to think of a name for.........isn't that catchy??
Anywhooo... this summer I will actually start to do this blog properly *pinky promise*
Lots of love

MANICURE!!!

My mum's getting married on Saturday so she took me out for a treat seeing as I couildn't go on her hen night with her.

We went to the Elfordleigh, which is where my Mum's wedding will be, and I had what they called an "express manicure." It included a cuticle conditioning, shaping the nail and a polish.

She started off by putting cuticle cream on one hand and then I had to leave it in a pot of hot water while she shaped the other hand's nails. Then she applied the cuticle cream to that hand and took my other hand out of the pot and the newly creamed up hand in. She snipped at all my cuticles for quite a long time because they're quite tough. She then filed those nails and took the other hand out, snipped those cuticles, and, finally, got to work on the polish.

I picked a hot pink colour with a really pretty almost bronze shimmer to it. GORGEOUS!!!! And it hasn't chipped yet after two days. I have a bit of end wear but that's good with me, you can't really see it until you look for it
