Thinking || A DIY Anniversary

I am a dedicated card sender. Many a cost increase may have been implemented on the British stamp, but I am quite certain I will still be posting cards until the day I die – there’s nothing quite like receiving a card or a note to brighten up someone’s day.

Nailblazer || Mini Mani Manor Days 16-18: Angel

Behind Door #16 – Cupcake Queen – a hot pink creme. I found it had a similar formula to Day 1’s Headliner – not the easiest to work with.

Nailblazer || Mini Mani Manor Days 14 & 15

Behind Door #6 is Runway Ribbon – another special effects pot, this time of loose red glitter. Another one I’m going to save for when I’ve got time to clean after the mess I’ll make with it

Nailblazer || Mini Mani Manor Days 3-5 – Nudes

Behind Door #3 was A Girl With a Pearl – one of Ciate’s special effect pots.

This one is full of gorgeous little pearls in a variety of sizes. I decided to save this one for a time when I wasn’t going to be running round like a maniac at work!
