And Now A Lack of Sleep

Can't sleep at all at the mo, so thought that I'd play around with the design of the blog and do my nails at the same time. Quite surprised the nails didn't get wrecked, what with the frustration of dealing with the possessed trackpad on the laptop and mindlessly grabbing cups of tea.

Wearing OPI Ink Suede today because it goes with me new plugs. Came out a bit blue in the pics because my newer, lovely camera that I deeply love and adore doesn't like purple all that much. There's a more accurate swatch here if that tickles yer fancy.

The Ink didn't go on terribly well because it's been sitting around for a year and was a bit goopy so the Konad stuff got dusted off and I made a mess.

Went over the nails with black special polish and plate BM201, decided it was a bit boring and wanted flowers as well, and went for the dangly flowery things on GCOCL plate K03. Boring old top coat that came from the pound shop finished it off nicely.

Be a shame to ruin it tomorrow.

A Lack of Time

So I got some time today to do a quick pink and red EOTD that made me happy face, so I'm posting it.

Inner lid and lower lashline: Madd Style Strange Potion - a blooming gorgeous shimmergasm of peach pink.
Crease, outer lid: Hi-Fi Cosmetics A Vampire Scorned - shiny spectacular brick red.
Brow Bone: pale pink highlighter from that massive ELF pallette.

Usual base of Two Faced Shadow Insurance and Pixie Epoxy. Did chuck some glitter on there as well but it looked rubbish TBH. Now it just looks scary, but a nice scary.

Have to say that I really miss blogging but I'm not getting any time at all since proper starting up Lovely Plugly (we're a business now, got a company cheque book and everyfink), no time for nails (but they're knackered at the moment anyway), no time for blog stuff, certainly no time for Assassin's Creed: Revelations which has been in my 360 since March or thereabouts.

I will be posting pretty pictures of nails and EOTDs on the Lovely Plugly Instagram (not really a pimpage thing, well, maybe, it does have some pics of plugs on it, but mainly its glitter and cats and macro shots of flowers). Would do a seperate account but I can't be arsed with faffing about with multiple accounts anymore and, as I am no longer in the fabulous world of computery disaster management, I don't really have to have multiple accounts anymore. Result :)

EOTD: Hair Dye Gone Wrong (Sort Of)

Thought I would revist the 80s by bleaching the very life out of my hair (and the Crazy Colour Fire) and it went a bit wrong (sort of). It's not that it went completely wrong, per se, it just wasn't what I was anticipating -- I was hoping for a lovely, uniform blonde with no silly colours in, but it's now white blonde with pink and peach streaks. Observe.

Nails are utterly bolloxed.

I loves it, I do, sorta (still wearing a hat) and, as an added bonus, it gave me a chance to restart the ELF Challenge as I fancied eyes that matched the hair. Didn't have spreadsheet available, so no idea whether I've used these.

Applied the usual base of Two Faced Shadow Insurance, then slapped on some of the A3 (yellowy) over the lid. Some F5 (purpley brown) went over crease and outer eyelid, bit of E1 over the F5 up to the browbone, then some more A3 as a highlighter.

This photo is the wrong size and it's annoying me.

Colours look rubbish on the photo, but they were pretty well pigmented, good job there ELF.

My Creme Egg Was Stolen

And I was looking forward to that all day after a hard day's coding.

Sigh.

Anyway, I've had a chance to do somthing with my nails as they're in a right state and need colour and care and attention instead of the horrible, horrible treatment I've been giving them.


Started off with a base off Opi Ink Suede, then some Max Factor Fantasy Fire, then some NYX purple glitter stuff, more Fantasy Fire, more glitter, cup of tea then put a little decal of a butterfly and flower on. Top-coat on, bish-bosh, I am now going to kill the bastard who stole my Creme Egg with my pretty, pretty nails.

Boo.
