August challenge

Sooo i found this challenge on pinterest and it seemed fairly fun and manageable. I used to really enjoy nail art challenges... I'm not sure im really up for the 'pressure' of a link up atm (are there even any anymore? Lol) but i think it'll be fun to play along on my own.

So far im off to a good start following prompts but a bad start posting them Haha.

Prompt 1- gradient

I decided to go all summery for this one. Cos, why not? Lol. Plus i challenged myself to something new with a stamping gradient, which ive never done before. I have to admit it's more just stripes than an actual gradient but i quite like it anyway lol. Polishes are models own polishes for tans over Barry m something or other (i think it might just be called white? Lol). And the plate is mo you London pro but i forget the number lol.


Prompt 2- recreation

Recreation of an old mani? Recreation of someone else's? I dunno. I went for the former cos the bell ropes happened to fit really well with the fact i was at a ringing event all day lol. Technically this is a double recreation cos i already recreated it once lol. I think it looks better this time though. And i matched the colour of the 'sallies' to the bells ive been ringing Haha. Base is cupcake polish, im afraid i forget the name lol. Yellow is rimmel bee my honey, green is Barry m spring green and black is rimmel black out.

So that's me all caught up... for now! Haha. We'll see how the rest of the challenge goes lol. x

Sooo... it's been a while!

Having decided to write a blog post i can't think of anything to say! It's been such a long time and lots has happened (good and bad lol) and lots has changed... but equally lots hasn't lol.

I guess the point is ive recently started painting my nails again, after about three or four years of leaving my polishes pretty much untouched in a cupboard. And im really loving it. Ive been keeping it really simple to start with, i want to enjoy it not stress myself out! But im thinking of finding a challenge to do next month, just on my own not like a link up or anything so no pressure. I think that's the thing, i let the blogging (and nail painting by extension) become about other people, performing for an audience, albeit a very small one! When it was always supposed to be my thing for me, you know?

So now im trying to embrace 'me' a bit more and the nail polish is part of that... and i thought maybe blogging could be too. I don't know how much ill post and it'll probably be mainly just nail dumps so not very interesting for anyone to read... but that's ok, i don't expect anyone to and im happy with that Haha.

I might do a life update type thing at some point when i feel more comfortable... but then again i might not lol, we'll see. Im just here to enjoy myself! Now if only i could remember how to insert pictures on this app! Lol
