Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Hello my lovelies? How's your week been? I bet your glad it's the weekend! I'm not working yet, but I aim to work again again one day, and ideally it would be working from home doing nails. I need to get my H.S diploma finished, not too much longer at that, only about another 6 exams....yippee!

Once I've done that, then I can go to school to become a nail technician. I think I'm going to wait until we've got orders out of here, there's no schools round here for it at all. Ideally I'd love to go to Okinawa, just because I love to travel, but also because can you imagine? Where is the best place in the world to get training to become a nail tech? Asia. There are some fantastic schools over there, with some really fabulous teachers. They put  the schools over here to shame with what you're taught!

Being realistic though, we've got more chance of orders to Camp Lejeune, NC. Whilst it isn't Okinawa, there is a school down in Wilmington that supposedly has a course, and from what I've heard it's a pretty good school. And I do like NC! It's lame for shopping, but hey, you can't have everything, right?

Anyway my lovelies, I hope you all continue to enjoy your weekend(s), and I'll have a chat with you all again soon! I've been thinking about doing another NOTD, so maybe I'll look into what colour I'm going to use!

That's it from me for now, I'm going to hit the sack. Goodnight darlings, sleep well!

Problems with leaving comments. Any ideas?

Hello my lovelies!
As stated in my title, I'm having problems with leaving comments in answer to some of yours. I don't know what's going on. My google account doesn't work, it asks me to log in, I log in, it asks me for word verification, I do the word verification, then it asks me to long in, I log in, it asks me to do the word verification, I do the word verification, and so on. Round and round in circles.
My live journal doesn't recognize my user name. It's the same one I've always used, so I have no idea what's going on with that either.
So anyway, if any of you leave comments for me and I don't reply, it's not because I'm ignoring you or I can't be bothered to answer, it's that I literally can't answer you.
If you have any ideas how to rectify this, please let me know, because I'm getting quite irritated with it! Thanks loveys!

Monday NOTD -Essie Sexy Divide and Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple

Hello my lovelies! How are you today? I am dead tired, I don't know why the post I did last night says it was at 9:30pm, it wasn't. It was about 2:30am. I've not been sleeping very well of late, and I need my beauty sleep! So anyway, I have some pics for you of my NOTD. They're very messy I'm afraid, I didn't do any clean up, and I have nail polish all over my cuticles and my skin. Having said that I chose some really pretty colours. I chose Essie, Sexy Divide as a base coat, one coat. And I chose Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple as a top coat, one coat. The photo's are pretty crappy I'm afraid! I'm the worlds worst photographer, even with a point and shoot camera! Anyway my lovelies, enough chat! Here's the pics:

Hope you're all in bed.

It's the middle of the night right now, and I should be asleep. I went to bed a couple of hours ago, but got back up when I couldn't fall asleep. I've been trying to figure out new things I can do with the nail polish I already have, so that I don't get bored with them. I know I've got over 400+ polishes and that is one heck of a lot. But it's easy to get bored when you have nothing new to add to the mix. This is an exceptionally long ban (at least a year) and I can't do any swapping either. Now obviously I could try layering with my Clarins 230, my flakies, my glitter polish and any sheers that I have. I have all the time in the world to practice on my nail art. Once my nails have grown out any art on my nails will be limited by my talent. So anyway dear readers,  if you have any suggestions for me to keep my collection new and fresh, please pass them along! Thank you, and goodnight, I'm going back to bed. xoxo

More nail art!

Happy Sunday sweethearts! I have some more nail art to show you today. Why all the nail art and showing you my stash when this is a nail blog, you might ask? Well, a couple of months ago I took of my acrylics. What was left underneath was pretty horrific, and it's going to take a good 4-6months to get my nails back into good shape. So in the mean time, every now and then I'll put a set of glue on nails on, but other than that, I'm just trying to baby my real nails as much as possible, in the hopes that they will grow back to how they were before I put acrylics on them. Once they've grown out, I promise I'll start doing more NOTD's, etc! Anyway, this is what I've done the past couple of days. I hope you enjoy it, and please let me know what you think if it! Thank you sweeties!

Water decals

Hello my lovelies! Today I thought I'd tell you about one of my favourite nail art items, water decals. These amazing decals are way too underrated. Most people have never even heard of them, and yet they are way better than regular decals, which are coming off before you even put them on! Why is it that these little decals get so little notice and are so unpopular? Why is it that hardly any company's  out there are bothering to make them? I've been using these kind of decals for a while now. Granted, they take a bit of getting used to. Granted, they're very fiddly. But once you've put them, on the first thing is that you can't feel them. They are completely flat on the nail. The other thing is, they're not going anywhere until you do another manicure. These decals don't get the attention they deserve, and it's such a shame. I thought I'd put some pics to go with this post, so you can all see how lovely they are. I really want to see a much better variety, and I want to see them made by American companies, and sold by Sally's, Ulta, etc. Anyway, that's my little rant! Thanks for reading! Here's the pics:
