I had this really elaborate plan for my nails, in my head it looked great, but when I was cutting the fimo canes disaster struck!! I managed to cut a huge chunk out of one of my fingers! It was so gross and there was blood EVERYWHERE, I tend to faint around blood too so it was a mad dash to the bathroom to run it under the cold tap. There was still nail polish remover on my skin because I had just finished removing my nail polish too and it stung SOO BAD, I have no idea how I didn't pass out. Anyway, because of the traumatic incident I didn't go through with my original plan (will have to do it when my finger has healed) and just did boring blue with glitter.
I couldn't paint the nail on the finger I cut because I managed to cut it right up to the nail. I'm so clumsy.
Nail polishes I used were: Barry M Cyan and a Bourjois glitter.

First Konad Attempt
I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt, I had a real problem with the stamping though, I could never get the stamp onto the part of the nail I wanted. Annoying!
This colour is AMAZING! I normally don't buy Gosh because it's a bit expensive for my liking, but I really liked this colour. It's called Ocean and I love it.
The camera didn't do the polish justice. These are the nail polishes I brought today:
The Accessorize is like a dark blue with glitter, looks kinda cool and was half price! Can't turn down a bargin!

New Shoes!!
Now if there's something I love as much as nail polish, it's shoes.
My delivery from Forever 21 came today! Yaaay! Super happy about what I got, so here's a picture spam of the goodies!
I don't normally go for shoes like these because I'm not the biggest fan of chunky heels and they're not high enough for me, I'm more of a 6 inch stiletto heel kinda girl, but I'm a sucker for floral print so I had to have them. Because Forever 21 is an american site it's tricky to know which sizes to buy, I'm a UK size 5, and the website said to buy a US size 8 (I'm so glad I don't live in the US or I'd feel like I have massive feet) but the 8s were out of stock so I went for a 7 instead. They fit fine even though they're a bit tight, a 7.5 would have be perfect.

Well there you go, that was my little splurge at Forever 21 :)

That's so fetch!
Another pink Wednesday is here! I used the nail polish I brought yesterday, Models Own Pink Fever and the NYC glitter, and here it is:
Without flash, sorry for the blur!
With flash.
I would have taken it in sunlight, but there is none, hah! And it also looks more purple than pink, but oh well.

Goodies I Brought Today!
Even though I said I wouldn't, I did go out and buy some nail polish, oops! Wasn't many nail polishes I wanted luckily, so I only brought 4 and I forgot to buy a clear topcoat which was the main reason I went out. Annoying! Will have to buy one tomorrow. So, here's what I brought:
The first one is Pink Fever and the photo really doesn't do it justice, it's such a gorgeous colour! The middle one is a crackle polish, hopefully it will crack as well as the Barry M ones and not be a complete disappointment like the 17 crackle. And last but not least is just a glitter top coat, I already brought this a month or so ago, but I lost it, so as it's cheap I brought another one.
Now the 4th nail polish I brought deserves its own picture because, well, I think I'm in love! I never normally look at the NYC nail polishes, because I don't like how they apply, but today I thought why not have a browse and I saw this and had to have it, it must have been fate as it was the last one! Result!
It's silver glitter then blue and light purple bigger glitter things! It's amazing and a nightmare to try to photograph, haha.
I also got these in the post today and as you can tell, I was clearly more excited about these than my new polishes, because what kind of girl doesn't love maths books more than polish!

Gold Digger
I'm back at uni from my short stay at home, and I've been reunited with my nail polish collection!! Best thing that's happened to me in weeks!
BOOM!
I counted my nail polishes when I was reorganising them and it turns out I, somehow, have 86 bottles. I was going to buy some more tomorrow, but after that revelation I might wait a while, haha. So to celebrate being reunited with my collection I had to do my nails again (and because I ruined a bunch of them hauling suitcases up and down stairs) and I decided to on gold, 'cause I was in a gold kinda mood. It's another Barry M nail polish, because 90% of the nail polishes I own are Barry M.
How gross do my nails look with the flash on?!

Barbie Girl
I'm kind of obsessed with pink nails at the moment, not helped by the fact 70% of the nail polishes I brought back from uni with me were pink, so I have another pink mani! Doesn't this colour just scream barbie?! There's like microglitter in it, but my crapo camera wouldn't pick them up, boo!
Sorry for the messiness!
I wanted to do some Konad stamping on top of them but my right hand (I'm right handed) is kind of messed up at the moment and have limited movement in it, so weird and painful! So I'll have to wait a week/few days until my hand is better to try it! I put Barry M white shatter on top instead, with glitter on top!
I was going to crop the picture, but I thought my dress in the background looked nice, haha. Shame you can't see the glitter, but the pic was taken at night, so no sunlight.
I might not post much in the next few weeks because I have exams so I'll be busy revising... or I'll be posting lots if I'm procrastinating, haha!
