Sundays often turn slightly into my version of pampering and beauty days. First they often become home hair dying days. I think the John Fredia Deep Cherry Red might just well be the third colour of hair dye this year alone. I get jumpy and bored with the same colour. I thought it would be more redder then it's turned out - in fact its gone rather dark but heys too experimenting. I often get stuck between trying to be more vintage and being more rocky in style - i'm currently refinding my love for the darker side of music so i'm following that flow at the moment it seems. I've spent the morning listening to Evanescence for some odd reason. Those were the days!
My nails have got to the point were i'm constantly having to repaint them because of their pure natural state. They are too stained and chipped not to be painted sadly. They've gone into an orange pinky colour - i'm sure that's not right. I managed to bag some Model Own's varnishes in London - for some reason i can't find them in York [only the Pro range - unless i'm totally blind]. They were on three for two in Oxford St Boots so I managed to bag Feeling Blue, Lilac Dreams and Grey Day [pictured] i've been going between the three colours for the past couple of weeks and i'm totally in love. They apply brilliantly, are really colourful with two coats and stand up to the hell I put them through at work. I want my visa interview just to go and grab some more!
Speaking of visa's nothings really occurring at the moment. Stuck in silly paperwork silence. It's three weeks on Tuesday that I sent off my forms and i'm still waiting for a flipping interview date. I should of expected this but it's just frustrating. Nothing can be booked or planned till we have an idea when I might possibly, could just, maybe be moving.
Plus today is mine and the boy's second anniversary, I don't think we could have ever imagined our relationship would have ever turned out as strong; as successfully or as strong as it has. He's totally changed my world, how I see myself, how I see life. I love him so incredibly much. Gushy I know!
First photo is lovey - like the nail colour in second one! Being unadventurous, I usually stick to pink. Maybe I should try something different!

Have you tried lemon juice for strained nails?
ReplyDelete@ Liz - thank you! I use to be the same with nail varnish now I just try anything!
ReplyDelete@ Sinead - no I haven't, does it work miracles?!
try denture tablets dissolved in water for nail stains!
ReplyDeleteIt works very well. Lemon juice and a fresh air fixes practically anything off-coloured.
ReplyDeleteFake tan emergencies, stained nails, etc.
I make a lot of mistakes... Haha
Happy Anniversary! I wish i had enough nail to paint - mine are a sadly bitten affair - i blame the stress of work. Maybe one day i'll be able to grow some decent nails. Scarlett x
ReplyDelete@ Daisy chain - cheers for the hint - we might actually have some of them in the bathroom.
ReplyDelete@ sinead - I think i'll have to give it a whirl between coats next time. They really need sorting.
@ Scarlet - thank you! I use to have really long nails but they always get chipped and break at work.
My nails are the same! If you find a miracle cure let me know! As much as I love having painted nails it would be nice to take off the polish and not see hideous yellow stains!! xx
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary!!!! x
ReplyDeleteYou look soooo beautiful :) xx
ReplyDelete@ Hazzlenut - i'd totally love to just be simple and have a manicure look, or just something plain and colourless but my nails are too horrid to show. I'll have to poke the shops see if there's anything to stop it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because I don't use a basecoat?
@ Victoria - thank you very much - it's gone so quickly and the boy's totally spoilt me today :D
@ Bethany - Aww thank you :D
You look lovely! I adore that nail polish!

Cheers Katherine - yeah it was good, spent a lot of time just chilling out, msn'ing each other and he spoilt me buying me dresses. Was a nice evening together, however virtual x
ReplyDelete@ Loretta - i love it for how different it is, I guess some people might stay away from it because it is grey but its a lovely tone x
Happy Belated Anniversary to you and your boyfriend! Hope the visas and everything get sorted out soon - must be frustrating.
ReplyDeleteLovely nail colour. x
I love your nail color. It is so pretty. Glancing down at my badly chipped nail polish I really wish I had taken a little time yesterday to redo my nails.
ReplyDeleteYou hair is absolutely stunning, I love it being that dark, it really shows off your pretty eyes.
ReplyDeleteCutex do a whitening nail polsh remover that's pretty good (it's occasionally in the 99p Stores if you have one locally) and I swear by Barry M clear basecoat, it's wonderful. x
Ooo that Curtex might be worth keeping an eye out for - thank you Vix!
