emerald city

last saturday i ordered some glitter nail polishes from models own (is it just me that feels there should be an apostrophe there somewhere?) as they were doing a "buy three, save £3" promotion & i was in the mood for something decadent.

these are the three polishes i chose, pink fizz, emerald city & bluebelle. i was originally going to buy purple haze instead of  bluebelle - because how could i not love the jimi hendrix reference! - but it was out of stock! i'm pretty happy with bluebelle though, although it's quite a bit darker than it appears on the website.

yesterday i painted my nails with emerald city, which i think is my favourite of the three. the polish is pretty good quality, but it does need two coats. i applied this pretty quickly yesterday morning before going out, so it's a little messy & probably would look better if i'd spent more time on it! also, my topcoat isn't the best quality so it smudged, meaning i had to retouch some of my nails this morning.

i have a weird hatred of having long painted nails by the way, so that's why mine are so short in the picture! i don't know, to me i just think they can look a little talon-like.

i also painted my toes with the pink fizz polish, which i actually love! i only applied one coat for these, but i actually think it's worked pretty well. i also have a weird hatred for dark nail polish on toes, so i will be trying the bluebelle on my nails in a little while.

i finished all of my rotation on my course, so now i'm just waiting to see if i get on the specialism i want to do, fingers crossed! i decided to go for textiles, and put fashion as my second choice. i really had to fight the urge to put fashion first, but i think in my heart i know it just isn't me. basically i only have to go into college on wednesday & thursday for lectures & an interview and then we have half term, so i am so excited for all the free time i'm going to have!

ten things i am going to do this week;

• re-watch the virgin suicides and across the universe.
• take jewellery pictures & list lots of new things in the shop.
• see my friend liberty at her stand-up comedy gig.
• cut the sleeves off the blouse from this post.
• buy a young person's railcard & train tickets to see my friend kate!
• catch up on blogs & schedule lots of posts.
• finish on the road by jack kerouac and start slaughterhouse five by kurt vonnegut.
• eat my body weight in cheese twists.
• start booking myself on open days & drafting my personal statement (eek!)
• watch copious amounts of family guy.
