New Nails #13
I made the mistake, with my previous nails, of adding a topcoat. I now know nail stickers and topcoat don't work! Within a couple of hours the topcoat had seeped under the stickers causing them to bubble up and start to peel away... oops!
So, I was going to just re-do them with the stickers; partly because I just love the Beth's Blue colour I had as my base coat; and partly because it was so simple; but then I was flicking through my Wah Nails book and spotted this little cutie of a design...
I really need to start referring to my Wah Nails book more often; I seem to have forgotten about it and it's many simple-to-achieve looking designs.

New Nails #12
I've not been very well this weekend; boo! So to cheer myself up I spent the day in bed drinking tea, eating home-made cheesecake, watching films and painting my nails; in other words, the perfect Sunday!
I purchased these stickers off eBay a few weeks ago; I must say, they were difficult to get off the backing; I did rip a few before they'd even reached my nails! But they are cute for a simple yet effective manicure.

Swatch Out
I accidentally placed an order for 8 more Models Own nail varnishes like 11:30pm on the last night of the Models Own 50% off Sale; don't you just hate it when that happens!? I must have been sleep-walking or something!
Hehe!
Anyway, they arrived yesterday morning (sorry Models Own, but that was shoddy delivery, considering I ordered them on the 2nd!); and here they are...
So last night, I spent my evening swatching all the colours I own. I mainly did this for my own benefit, to help me decide more quickly which colour I want to use (instead of rummaging through all the boxes, splodging quick blobs of polish on my nails to see how it looks) but I thought I'd share...
Be warned; there's a few!!
Maybe I have a slight addiction...
