• Hi everyone!


    Remember me? I'm the one who THOUGHT she would have plenty of time to do nice manicures when she came home from her new job... boy, was I wrong! It's been very busy with getting used to a new place, new people and new responsibilities and when I came home, I just collapsed on the couch. I don't think I've been happier with all the food I've been stuffing in our freezer than last week :)

    So I've been wearing a-england Her Rose Adagio for an entire week, which is a beautiful office friendly color and I didn't think anyone would be offended by it and it's interesting enough to not cringe when seeing my hands after a few days. Last Sunday I finally finished all the chores and instead of collapsing on the now familiar couch to watch some tv I sat down with polishes, files, cuticle oil and whatnot for some well deserved me-time (and to make sure my nails would look presentable for the coming week at work of course).

    A quick post today as I didn't have the time to do an elaborate nail art. Instead I opted for a gorgeous, sunny holo: LilypadLacquer Orange A-peel.

  • Hi everyone!


    It's past 2:00 am over here and I should be in bed and asleep, instead of running around, shoving my fingers under my hubby's nose for the umptieth time and asking him what he thinks (and the sweet guy doesn't even sigh, he just tells me he thinks it looks great... yep, definitely the world's most patient man :)

    So of course now you're wondering what I did that is so wonderful. Are you ready? This:

  • Hi everyone!


    Just when I was about to remove my manicure and put on something bright, two things happened.

    1. I received an email I have an interview for a new assignment (so no new manicure, I'll just redo the nails that have tip wear at the moment. I mean, if my great-aunt likes it, no one can be offended by it :)
    2. The doorbell rang and the mailman handed me a package with this in it:
    indoors, sunshine
    I am now the proud owner of all twelve Color Club Halo Hues polishes *does a happy dance*

    So after the interview, I'll rush home, get rid of the nude manicure and start playing with these beauties!! We're supposed to have gorgeous sunny weather for the next two weeks... so that means holo!! And I've been told the Halo Hues are great for stamping so I hope to do some nice sparkly manicures and maybe even try my hand at a gradient stamp (if you have any tips, please feel free to leave them in the comments).

    Talk to you soon!
  • Hi everyone!


    Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and, as usual, we're visiting both my own family and my in-laws. Also we're going to check in on a very dear old lady, our great-aunt who turned 95 last month and who is in the hospital after a nasty fall (fortunately no broken bones but a lot of bruises including her ribs that cause her some breathing problems). Now usually I don't really care what people think about my nails unless I have a job interview or something like that. But our aunt always tells me a nice girl (yep, I'm still a girl in her eyes ;) doesn't wear pitch black, acid green or bright blue so as a surprise for her I've given myself a really elegant nude manicure.

    When browsing for some inspiration I came across this manicure. I had a white and a lilac polish on my desk, patiently waiting to be put away and this is what happened next:
