It was a warm dusky summer evening and
the air was heavy. She was feeling lethargic as she lay on the bed
resting the dull ache within her ribs. The clock read 9.05pm and she
smiled knowing it was a good time for a glass of wine and yet another
episode of Bate's Motel. She drew the make shift table which once
began life as a cardboard box on the bed closer to herself and
admired the collection of beautiful polishes and tools that laid out
before her. Heaven. She gasped in shock at the latest drama's in her
new favorite tv show as she rubbed the cotton pad over her nails,
absent mindlessly removing the traces of blue and green polish that had
once been worn with pride. There was a snag. Her eye's instantly
darted to her finger nails and in sheer horror and disbelieve she
gasped at the rip in her middle finger. It was a rip, defiantly a
rip, no two ways about it. She ran down the two flights of stairs and
into the kitchen, swinging kitchen cupboards open in a crazed frenzy
and began searching for her miracle. She gave a sigh of relief as she
found what she was looking for, an old forgotten tea bag that wouldn't be missed! ...But she knew this was far from over.
As she dragged her defeated body back up stairs she surveyed the
spread laid out on the box, deciding and undecided on a course of
action... With a heavy heart she picked up the clippers and
knew...Things would never be the same again...
Allo, polish Pals!
Well I hope you enjoyed my dramatic
tales over a trivial subject! Luckily the nail survived with length
(It ripped right at the start of the free edge) but I used the tea
trick and I don't think you'd know its ripped without me telling you.
While I was at it I decided to try a different
shape and a shorter length and I am quite liking how my nails look
now – what do you think?
For this manicure I started with two
coats of Color Club's 'Cloud Nine' and stamped my index, middle and
pinky with Model's Own's 'Purple Grey' and this gorgeous pattern from
my MoYouNails 221 plate. On my thumb and ring finger I created a
white triangle and added Barry M's 'Diamond Glitter' back on top.
What do you guys think of this
manicure? Do you like Holographic polishes with stamping>
Hope you enjoy the rest of your
weekend!
Love
