Conceding to Olympic fever!! // leopard spots and humbugs

Heeeey Everyone! 


So  a lot has happened this week. I bagged myself a job at the Olympics!!!! I will admit now that I wasn't really looking forward to it coming to London at all and I didn't even bother to apply for tickets. But I got a last minute job at the Olympic Village and suddenly started loving it! Even just hanging around near the Olympic Park in the huge Westfield shopping centre with my mum, you could defos feel the buzz. On Friday I watched the ceremony in a pub with a big group of friends from school and it really was like the best New Year's ever! People  clapping at the screen and everything! Did you lot do anything fun??


Here are my current nails. No fun Wig Wam editing as photobucket is NOT cooperating with moi today. Also I think I have an obsession with leopard spots... can you tell??

 Awkward pose, yes. But in the background is an opening ceremony party at the Tower of London that neither my friend or me (err grammar fanatics, apologies) were invited to. We spent a good 15 mins bitching about all the nice dresses the women were dressed in. Just cos we were jealous...!

This is my little lanyard that keeps my Olympic accreditation around my neck. It's like an Olympic passport and gains me access to the Olympic Village. How snazzy am I!! The badges in this pic are the hot thing to trade in the village. The only way you get them is if athletes or their coaches casually hand you one. You do NOT ask!!! So it's aaaall about the prestige. Yesterday was my first day and I already have 2! One from Germany and one from Luxembourg. Yeaaaawww!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the Olympics as much as I am!!!

Heeey Everyone!

The sun is ACTUALLY shining here in London and the first hectic-ness of the Olympics is taking hold. The games haven't started yet and already people are waiting 2 hours to get on the tube..... NOT looking forward to the crowds. Seriously.

Anyhooo, these nails are some of my favourites I've done in recent times. I actually decided to get a bit more technical and spend more time doing my nails as lack of inspiration has attacked me recently. Buuut I really like how these turned out! I saw a similar design here from Boom Nails and fell in love.

I hope everybody is having a briiiilliant start to the week. I'm off to the park in the sunshine to squidge my baby cousins.

PS Don't spend too long looking at my cuticles... They are suffering from severe neglect.

Leopards sometimes change their spots... to become tigers!

Hi All!

Today is 'sharemycurrentnails' day so here they are:

The orange is some random little nail varnish I found at Beauty Base in the Whiteley's shopping centre in Bayswater (Londres). There was a crazy special offer on for about 300 different varnish colours (I kid you not dear readers!) where each one was 99p. I couldn't resist! So here is what 'shock' by L.A. Colors looks like. Yeah I know, I have never heard of this brand either but it was too cheap not to buy. I had to paint FIVE layers to achieve even this thin-ish opacity but I still reckon I could have spent my 99p in a worse way (ahem, twix bar).

Have any of you heard of or used this brand before??

From polka dot to red leopard

Hello Readers!

After about 5 days of wearing my polka dot nails (see my Toadstool Nails post) and having mattified them to look new and different, I decided that the last way to update the nails with minimal effort would be to transform them into red leopards. 

It's very simple - all you do is dot some black polish in more or less a random fashion around the original polka dots! Try totally encircling each white dot or just in little 'C' shapes around them. Simples!
