CHINA GLAZE I'M WITH THE LIFEGUARD & GLITTER LAYERING

Happy Friday guys. I'm in a very good mood today, not sure why though!

 I've just spent the past hour glequining and I need a break so I thought I'd show you these nails I did a while ago; very bright and in your face ! 

So I completely skipped over the China Glaze Summer 2012 neon collection and got this shade by accident in the big lot I showed you in my previous haul and I fell in love with it, well mainly the shimmer in it! I'm thinking I need more of that collection now, hmm! 

Anyways if you would like to recreate this mani, then you'll need 2 coats of China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard, followed by 1 coat of China Glaze Glistening Snow for some sparkle and finally top it all off with one coat of the best glitter topper in the world ie. Ninja Polish Sticks n' Stones (or any of it's many many dupes!)

It was rather difficult capturing the true colour of these nails because when my camera saw neon it just refused to co-operate ! I tried to make it a bit more colour accurate whilst editing but that didn't really work and I've ended up with funny looking skin ! 

I'm With The Lifegaurd - Very neon and green, with gorgeous gorgeous shimmer which makes this shade a lot more wearable imo!

Ok, so that's all folks, have a lovely weekend and I'll see y'all soon ;)

BLUE NAILS FOR WORLD DIABETES DAY

Today is World Diabetes and it's lovely that I can show my support through my nails and my blog : ) I have a friend who is a year older than me and has type 1 diabetes so I know how difficult it can be; a couple of years ago when she being as careful with her diet as she should have been she took a turn for the worst and ended up in hospital for a couple of months but thankfully she's much better now. I also have a few family members who suffer too so I had to join it today. 

Diabetes is a chronic disease that arises when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.  Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that enables cells to take in glucose from the blood and use it for energy. Failure to produce insulin, or of insulin to act properly, or both, leads to raised glucose (sugar) levels in the blood (hyperglycaemia). This is associated with long-term damage to the body and failure of various organs and tissues. (Taken from the International Diabetes Federation website where you can find out more about diabetes and today)

So for the nails I did 2 coats of Kiko 336 (the Nails Inc Baker Street dupe) and then topped it off with one coat of Ninja Polish Sticks n' Stones and 2 coats of topcoat. The accent nail is supposed to be an accu check testing strip, complete with the drop of blood on the end. 

Check out everybody else's blue mani's and share your own : )

STICKS N' STONES AGAIN

Hi guys, I'm sorry I disappeared for a while but the past few days have been really crazy and stressful and hectic and well you get the idea, and to be honest I haven't felt like talking to anyone either, this is all mainly because I didn't get into university this year so I have to reapply again next year but the entry requirements have gone up so I have to resit quite a few exams in January and it just makes me feel like I'm going backwards especially when I see so many people I know moving onto uni. I just want this so much and I'm having to work as hard as I possibly can to get it. 

I don't really post a lot of personal stuff on here because I strongly believe in the saying "Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them" but sometimes it really does get too much. 

So onto the nails, this is 2 coats of an unnamed red Illamasqua jelly/creme which I got from a blog sale and then 1 coat of Ninja polish sticks n' stones 

Please excuse the chip on the middle finger
