Nail Prism: Purple Diamond 03

Well this is disappointing. My version of Purple Diamond 03 is a watery dull purple with a sprinkling of holo particles. I used three coats. I couldn't bear to anymore. The formula was watery and difficult to apply. Ok so it would have been easier if I had any patience!

Ok, I'll admit Purple Diamond does look pretty cool in a watery glaze kind  of way. The dull purple is actually more unique to my holo collection. I'll admit it, I actually like Purple Diamond...despite my complaints!

What I Wanted...

Well, what I wanted was not what I got for tea. All I wanted was delicious Hells Pizza. A large Pandemonium (chicken, cranberry and brie) and chicken tenders to share with Nick. Actually I changed my mind...not to share. He's mocking my spelling.

What I had for tea was salad...lettuce, tomato and cucumber. With a mince pattie I made with just mince from the left over mince I cooked Nick in his delicious smelling pasta...

I love salad...but mmmm pizza would have been good!

Oh well, it's all worth it for the wedding!

In awesome nail pictures, it's been raining heavily on and off today and most of the week actually. I haven't been able to take any new pictures. The good news is you wont have to look at my stubby broken nail as it grows out! In the mean time here's BB Couture Sea of Cortez.




Sea of Cortez.
Wow! Sea of Cortez is an amazing blue with awesome glitter. It's such a pretty polish. Like omg stare at my nails pretty. Yes, there's some visible nail line on me, but I put that down to my crazy nail whites and my laziness to do another coat! Everyone that loves blue needs Sea of Cortez.

I has muscles...they hurts.

 Day two back at school and I'm so exhausted already! Thank goodness I have a release day on Thursday! The kids are tired out as well. They just start wilting after lunch, they couldn't even play cat and mouse today.


It doesn't really help that it's just under 3 months until our wedding. I have a dress fitting in one month...
so it's crazy diet and exercise time. I kept meaning to get back into exercising...this is just the push I needed I guess. I'm really not into gyms and exercising in front of other people. I draw the curtains when I exercise at home even. So I've been hanging out with the Wii. Wii Fit and The Biggest Loser to be precise. Biggest loser every 2nd day and wii Fit everyday. It's day 3 and I just did my first Biggest Loser work out in a long time...I have muscles in my stomach. I know I do, because they hurt! I couldn't bear to hoola hoop on the wii fit today so I went for a walk to the supermarket and carried my shopping home instead.
At least the wii fit tells me I lost weight....so it can be my friend still!

Here's something totally un-nail related...my new hair clip!


 Personally I think it's awesome. I love bows at the moment. I'm eyeing a very nice pair of silver studs that just so happen to be incredibly cute bows. And it has sparkle! What's not to love? I'm finding myself letting me hair be at the moment. Rather than straightening it embracing the wave.

Just a quick Nail Prisms post today to show off the awesome Mandarin Garnet.

Mandarin Garnet is a pretty orange toned coral shade. Definitely orange toned, but not quite completely orange. It has a bit of holo goodness thrown in and was three coats.
