I’m sure you’ve all noticed a few of the changes I’m making around the blog by now ^_^ I’ve been quite busy over the weekend and fixed a lot of the issues we were talking about last post, there is still more to come so when I’m finished (probably in the next few days) I’ll do a round up post of what has changed. Please keep in mind that I’ll be tinkering so if something doesn’t work, don’t stress just wait a little bit and try again

So it would seem that my heart shaped measuring bowls and spoons are a bit of a hit! I was inundated with emails and comments asking where you could all get one. So here are two websites that apparently sell them or very similar to them. These sites both stock the spoons and other cute things as well.

Hear Mum Roar found this site: http://www.littlebetsybaker.com.au/store/pc/Heart-Shaped-Bowl-143p962.htm

My Mother found this one which is definitely the same: http://www.chalet.net.au/home

Now onto what you all really want to see: NAIL ART! Because I’m going to be spending the day making a heap of sets of nail art for my Etsy store I though I’d treat you to some eye candy I know a lot of you have only just started reading my blog recently so I wanted to show you some nail art I did quite a while ago, most likely before you all started reading ^_^ If you’ve been reading for over a year feel free to skip this one Apologies for the size of the photos, these were all edited back when my blog was even tinier on blogspot.

These ones are all done with a Konad stamper for a competition, there are non-konad ones at the end.

Omg back when I had red hair

Hope you enjoyed and look forward to the designs I’m doing today, some of them are pretty spectacular ^_^

The OC Nail Art Konad competition is ooover! I had so much fun doing it though, I ended up making like 13 or so entries. These are my latest ones…

Tiger stripes and Kanji. I can’t get enough of the sparkly orange base! It’s got tiny specs of gold in there which catch the sun really well.

Strawberries and cream. Mmmm makes me so hungry. I had permanent french tips during this phase so I wanted to use them. I had also just gotten all those delicious fimo fruit stripes.

I can’t remember if I already posted these but oh well here they are again! I did James’ Mum’s nails for Mother’s Day. It’s her first set of acrylics ever and she loved them!
Unfortunately I still can’t find a fantastic glue. She does a lot of cleaning and she managed to snap most of them off within a week *_*

This was be just being lazy. I spent so long trying to get french tips painted on nicely that I wanted to keep them as long as possible. I kept top coating over and over!

Hearts! I love hearts!


We did a presentation at Neis all about websites and how they can be good for your business. I decided to get some subtle advertising in by painting Blue Crane Design on my nails
Here is the ring I ordered from Pretty Paris too!

And the last one… purple chains!

When I saw this tiny little delicate chain unlike a normal girl who thinks “Wouldn’t that make a prety necklace?” I thought “I wonder how many top coats I would have to use to stick that to my nails?”.


And that’s all she wrote for now. I’m much too busy watching these silly people going over budget on their ridiculous house on “Grand Designs” to blog I want my own house, I hope Australia’s property market goes bust soon! Then again, from my time working at a bank I have learned that they aren’t exactly happy to give a mortgage to two 22yr olds even if they are incredibly responsible and could pay it easily. Sucks because our rent is as much as a mortgage would be anyway *_*

Get ready for it guys… there is going to be an overload of nail art in this!

As some of you might know I’m trying to win a competition for the most creative design using a Konad Stamping B kit. It’s over at OC Nailart, they are awesome if you ever need any Konad supplies check them out!

…well here are some of my entries, what do you guys think? I know, I know, I’ve gone pretty crazy! I want to win this so badly though!

Cutesy umbrellas, go away rain!

Used: Blue base coat, silver umbrella konad, white umbrella konad (to give depth), blue glitter polish as rain, blue nail pen for the lines.

Woo Konad! Give me prizes!

Used: Purple polish, white swoop tips, white flower stamp, pink ceramic flower.

Omg I love these, I’ve upped the contrast in the photo above so you can see the design. They are stamped with really light pink so it’s a barely there pattern. Stamp was repeated several times to create a pattern.

Sunflowers at Sunset. Orange polish with gold flecks, black konad, yellow glitter.

Love my B Kit!!

This is so much shinier in real life! Started with the turquoise base, white paisley konad and matching butterflies to make a pattern. Blue swirls to fill the gaps and green glitter.

/>Farily self explanitory… I like stars.

Green fairy garden. White base, green glitter over the top, green konad, pink tip and more glitter and jewels.

A pink garden. Pink base, gradiated silver glitter tips, white konad butterfly then a bunch of stickers.

This one is awesome, the base is actually tissue paper Then a red and white stamp over the top!

This was inspired by fireworks. Black base, light orange and white konad with transparent stars. LOTS of clear top coat!

Look they even match my eyelashes!

So there you have it! What do you think, am I in with a chance?
