With flash  Well the mystery of me feeling fluffy and dreamlike is that I've come down with a terrible cold, booooohooooo! My brother and his family came down on Tuesday and a couple of them were ill, so I'm guessing that's who I caught it from. As you know from yesterdays post ( click here to see it ) I started this mani with Sally Hansen Double Duty , then two coats of Sally Hansen Deep Blue Sea .  With flash .  For the next step I picked out my Bundle Monster BM201 plate and used it with Sally  Hansen's Blue Away . This particular design was very easy to work with and I actually didn't have to start again with any nails which is a major improvement for me.  For some bling I decided to add pale blue heart shaped rhinestones with LA Girls Diamond Top Coat . I didn't realise as it was late at night, but some of the stones were slightly different colours, whoops! To finish I added an additional layer of the top coat over the whole mani...

Right, I know this is getting out of hand now, but do you know what? I don't feel bad... It's hard work being a single Mum, especially when you live with a disease that effects you on a daily basis, so why shouldn't I treat myself to things for my nails?  Left to right, Sally Hansen Supershine, Gel Cuticle Remover, Advanced Hard As Nails, Double Duty, Continuous Treatment.  First off let's start with the Sally Hansen nail care. You know I like to try out base and top coats, plus I use them up really quickly as I'm painting my nails pretty much every day at the moment.

I was really impressed with the others that I've alrea...

Left to right, Orly In A Snap, Orly Top 2 Bottom, OPI Did You  Ear About Van Gogh?, OPI  I Don't Give A Rotterdam, OPI Pedal Faster Suzie One night last week I was sitting looking at some nail blogs on my phone and realised I hadn't been on a favourite website of mine for a while. I wasn't actually planning on buying anything, but when I saw they had some of the OPI Holland Collection, I just had to indulge. As you can see I also grabbed a base coat and top coat in one, and then a quick dry top coat. I always like to try new base and top coats, and as I've been really loving Orly polishes I wanted to see if these were as good. I bought these from Cheapsmells.com as I have had good experiences with them several times. Delivery is quick, they come well packaged inside a sturdy box and I've always been happy so never had to contact them. They have random polishes on there and their stock is always changing so worth having a look. They also offer free postage a...
