Laying on the beach somewhere in the med

Well i wish i was...but unfortunately not! I have been loving the English weather recently though, I've well and truely embraced the british tradition of showing skin, wearing flip flops and sunglasses everytime i leave the house!

I've been out in the garden this morning and have transformed my garden from overgrown jungle to surbarbun paradise complete with strawberry plants! All with the help of my daddy! I personally don't have a clue about gardening and need all the help i can get!

So anyway, i painted my nails last night

NOTD - Mediterranean Olive

I got this from poundland, for guess what...£1 It's a really shimmery/metallic browny green colour that goes on really well. It only took 2 thin coats to get full coverage, the bit that sucks is that it took forever and a day to dry! Yawn fest!

mourn the loss of 2 nails :(
look it matches my cushion

Have you ever tried any of poundland varnishes? What to you think?

Konad & a catch up!

Hey lovelies,

Sorry for the shocking quality of my posts recently, i don't seem to have enough time in my life to do anything else but eat, sleep and work, i promise to try a little harder! Only another 2 weeks and 3 days until easter break and yes i have been counting! Today we got the very bad news that Ofsted are making an appearence on Thursday and Friday YAY, i am so excited NOT! So lots of very stressed people running around the school followed by lots of awkward lesson observsations and sweaty palms! If you don''t know what i'm on about, please don't worry, i just seem to be rambling.

On a plus note, i have been so good with the losing weight malarky! I have started back at the gym after a good 2 months off and have actually quite enjoyed getting back into it. I managed 40 minutes on the upright bike yesterday, which is a bonus! Today me and my mummy went swimming and i did 50 lengths. Yay go me :) I am on a misson to banish the cupcake belly!

So anyway as promised in my title, i konad-ed my nails for the very first time today. If your not sure what i'm on about have a look on you tube, there are plenty of tutorials and videos on there. Basically is stamping your nails using special nail varnish. I had been collecting bits of ebay over the last couple of weeks and today they all arrived, cue big smiles from me :) So they have turned out a little wonky and the pictures were taken before any clear ups so excuse the mess around the nails.

Firstly i am so surprised at how easy it is, even for a total beginner like me. The nail varinish i used was Collection 2000 Mint choc chip and Collection 2000 top coat. The can i am holding is a my new nail dry spray, which i completely LOVE, so much so it deserves a post of its own.

Have you tried konad? Does it get easier? How long does it seem to last?

Hope you all have a fabby evening
