Tip wear, parcels and mags.

Hey friends.

I've noticed that there are a few more people subscribing now.  Hi to you all and I'm so sorry that I haven't updated much. I'll make it up to you :-p

This was my first, full week back at work. Okay, so I work part-time but my schedule is still nuts.  Please observe:
Getting up very early, getting myself and the two kiddies ready, dropping them off, going to work, working, leaving work, picking them up, bath, dinner (for me), bed (for them), ironing, tidying, chatting with hubby, sleeping and then doing the whole thing all over again the next day.  Culture shock? Ya think?!

After the end of the three days my Nubar mani looked like this:

Yeah, there's a piece of polish actually missing from my index finger :-S

I received a couple packages this week too. When the postie asked me to sign for them, she was concerned that I was over the age of sixteen. Seriously. I was wearing black cigarette pants, black kitten heels, a white t-shirt and this:

Okay, so you may not know what I look like, but I don't believe for a second that I look any younger than sixteen!!

I was rushing with the pictures so they look rubbish. Sorry!
I got these image plates from Shirley. I am really looking forward to using them because the images are bigger than Konad and Bundle Monster so I won't have to double stamp or turn the images sideways.

 See? Those images will fit the width of my nail (finally!)

She also sent these water decals as a little freebie. The ones on the left will look wicked on a white base.

I got this from Vivalanails...remember I said I was going to order one?

It's half-term this week and the hubby and I are taking the kiddie to the circus as a surprise. She thinks she's going to Burger King because the hubby told her that this was her surprise. She was still pretty happy though - poor thing!  If I can set up the mobile blogging before we go, I might take some photos with my phone.

Vivalanails stickers and Famous polish

Today was my first day back at work. Admittedly, I was a little anxious, because the work can be pretty intense at times. Thankfully, today was filled with a little gossip, some welcomes and some promises that I'll be eased in gently.  We'll see what it's like next week :-0!

In my last post, I mentioned that I was sent some water decals for review by Vivalanails.  As it happens, I was a little wrong (lol). After painting my nails, I had my little pot of water ready to go...and then I realised that the packet that I chose to use were actually stickers. The packaging only has the site name on it (no instructions or description), so because I didn't take plastic off the packaging to have a proper look I was a tad confused! So I actually have three packs of stickers and three packs of water decals!

I also found a polish I haven't tried before too...huh. Can't find anything when I'm organised, but I find new polish when everything is languishing at the bottom of a plastic bag. The story of my life.

 This has little gold particles of glitter in it. Very Christmassy.

The stickers have a 'rhinestone' in the middle of the larger flowers.

 They are pretty sturdy actually and there are 58 individual pieces.

I only used one layer of top coat and the stickers laughed at my nail polish remover when it was time to take them off. Like I said. Sturdy.  I really like these actually. What do you think? Would you wear them yourself?

By the way, I thought I should mention that this is the first European website that I have seen that sells such a large range of nail art supplies including nail art magazines. I intend to buy one of these soon so I'll keep you posted about my findings.
