    Well it'll be an early night for me tonight!

    CND are launching their additives at their UK HQ. It's only a five-hour drive... means leaving around 5/6am :o :eek:

    I'm loving everyones nail, beautiful :)

    I bought myself some nailtiques (2) as recomended by starrystarry (I hope it wasn't someone else now or I look stupid :o) Anyway it's going ok, definate improvement!! I did have to chop my nails right back yesterday though after undoing my sons watch and taking a big v shaped chunk out of one. Befor I knew it I'd gone mad with the nail clippers :(

    I've ordered a stamper and scraper and when I've got a bit more money will buy myself some plates too. Hopefully my nails will be a bit longer by that time.

    My money spending is 100% blaming this thread btw :p

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Not sure that I'll be doing blue this week as I'm off to Barcelona and I don't do nail repairs on holiday so I shall be going neutral, in case of chips.

    Picked up some of the glittery top coats by Chit Chat in £land yesterday, I am in love! Would love to have a go at frankening them into other polishes too :) Really want to frankenpolish but I don't have much idea where to begin, I can see what combinations would be good but other than that :S

    Frankening is basically just mixing them up, so get an empty bottle and tip them in. If you want shove more glitter and flitter and bits in

    Do you do it? Where do you get your supplies from? I think a while ago I looked for empty bottles but they were really quite expensive for a mess around. Also I feel a bit stupid mixing - what aren't really, but are to me - expensive nail varnishes :o

    Also, how did you get the spreadsheet on your blog? I would love to put my stash on mine but I dunno how to do it like that! Looks great!

    Ooh so many lovely blue nails! Mine are still bare as new kitten is making doing anything a little difficult. I will try and do it when she is kipping, but as she seems to want to do that on me its hard to sneak off and get polish and so on as she wakes up and starts bounding around again.
    Oh and no hiding those nails - I don't mind if they work for some and not me. I think that's the way of all things - and I really want to see everyone's nails every day!
