Nails (9) + Needing French Manicure tips.

Before I begin, press play on this and listen to the song whilst reading, it is so so beautiful!

I haven't blogged in forever! I just haven't been on the computer since I can do most of what I need to do on my phone, which you don't expect when you look at it, but I'm here now. I had half term and used that week incredibly unproductively, I did learn the Horid Henry theme tune words which when you've heard it wont be that impressive. However, I went to a halloween party and that was really fun, I went as a vampire (reality was just a dress, £1 cape and some 5p fangs that didn't fit in my mouth) I looked a treat. Also I have a job! Woo. It means leaving my netball group and moving to one in the same club that train on a different day, so i'll still see a few of them but I'll miss the others :(.
 Anywaaaaay.





I did these nails for my mum and then really liked them so did them on mine too, so yep we match right now. The base colour is a Beauty UK polish called 'Lilac Girl' (cheap and cheerful too) which dries really fast and I used two coats to get the opaqueness I wanted. The glitter polish is Models Own 'Purple Haze'. That takes a while to dry properly but looks really nice I think.
The overall effect at the end is quite a deep purple with a gorgeous glitter. 


I did my nails as french manicure this week so I've been practicing the white tip as I don't like using those stickers. I'm pretty pleased with them but they never last very long for me before the tips start peeling off or chip. I use a top/gloss coat on them. 
Does anyone know why they do this or what I can do so that they don't?

Hope you saw some pretty fireworks last night!
