bridal fog! four weeks to the wedding! :)

i'm getting married in exactly four weeks... everything important is now sorted... so i am spending my days in a bridal fog wondering which nails to buy!!! hahahah! i swear i have spent literally HOURS comparing nails on ebay! those ones are too expensive, those ones are the wrong colour, those ones have too much gold/silver/not enough bling...

isn't it ridiculous the lengths we go to :)

i do love nail shopping tho ;)

  • lol fake nails... to cover up my skanky finger nails!

    although i'm sure DIY type nails will come in handy on the day to aim at annoying family members' heads ;)

    Mimosaurus, I'd have some done at a salon, to be honest - they lok better and you wont be worried about them pinging off!

    I'm having acrylic nails done for the wedding ~ I wouldn't use stick on/glue on nails incase they came off, which in my experience, they always blummin do!

    I know they're meant to knacker your nails, but I'm only planning on having them done the once, so they last the wedding and honeymoon.

    if only i had the time i would but there's no way i can fit it in :( my mum is ill and most of my family don't drive so somehow i have managed to find myself spending the days before the wedding being a taxi over most of england... not that i really mind.

    also, i had acrylic nails done before and they really started to pee me off after a while, then they were a complete pain in the rear end to take off!! perhaps that's just me, i'm not very patient, i'd rather be re-gluing all day... to be fair they only need to last until the photos!! hahah! :)

    Lol - Are you sure that *everything* is done???
    I just know that if it was me, I'd want to see the nails in the flesh, so to speak, to check for the colour etc.

    Wedding planning can be fun - maybe you can encourage some friends to get married so that you can help them!?
