XL D + ' Peachy Snake-Skin '

Hey ladies

Here's a quick post from me today as I'm feeling unwell =(.

Here's my interpretation of the snakeskin manicure =). 

(Picture with Flash).

For this Manicure I used:

- Beauty UK - Peach Melba.

- Rimmel London -Matte Finish.

- Konad Special Black Polish.

- XL plate C.

(Picture with Flash).

This manicure isn't meant to be 'Stamp' perfect and I love the overall effect =).

I'm a total sucker for pastel nail varnishes and I found that Beauty UK's Peach Melba was a perfect peach for my skin tone.

The application was brilliant - i think i may have to invest in more bottles of polish from Beauty UK - i love every single bottle of polish from them i own so far =).

(Picture with Without-Flash).

I was shocked to research that some people pay £185.00 ($300.00)

for a 'real' snakeskin manicure - I don't know how I feel about 'real' snakeskin 

manicures ... what do you guys think about this?

Here is the the stunning XL D plate

Thanks for reading =)

For this manicure i used:

- Milani's - Hi-Tech (As the base colour) 

- With... Milani's Cyberspace and Digital.

- Konad Special Black Polish. 

(Picture with Flash).

Unfortunately my camera doesn't want to capture this manicure properly!! ...But I'm loving my Shiny *Sparkly* nails =).

I started my manicure with Hi-tech (the picture below) as my base colour. 

(Picture Without - Flash).

I then dabbed patches of Milani's Cyberspace and Digital onto the base to give my nails a 'Petrol Rainbow' appearance (See below).

Hey Ladies!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

....But....

 How quickly did this weekend go =-/ .

I cant wait till July..I have a week booked off - to relax, and it cant come soon enough!

It feels like ages since I had time of work and I'm in real need of it atm.

Since last year Ive not had 100% health (Ive felt constantly tired and I'm always cold) .

Though I did not instigate this with my doctor .. till 3 months ago ( Yes I know naughty me =-/) 

My iron and thyroid levels are dropping every time I have a new blood test (To date Ive had 3 to investigate the problem). 

I recently started taking Multivitamins with extra iron - which has showed in my latest blood results...however my thyroid levels have taken another drastic drop =-/ 

Since Friday Ive been taking medication to help boost my thyroid levels - ill have another blood test again in 2 months to see if the dosage need to be lowered or upgraded =-/.

So that's where I currently am =-/. 

Therefore I decided to do a Manicure yesterday to cheer me up yesterday!.

For this Manicure i used:

- Gosh - Silver.

- Konad Special Black Polish.

- Stamping Plate - XL A.

Ive been wanting to use this design for ages.

I am very happy with how this manicure turned out!. 

I absolutely love this Silver polish. The above picture is after 2 applications.

Its one of my favourite polishes I own - Plus its a fantastic stamping polish =).

Thanks for reading - and don't forget you have until Midnight tonight (UK time) to enter my giveaway
