I haven't had the most productive day off as first I spent hours researching Blythe dolls and actually bought one, omg! It's a Pow Wow Poncho and was sort of a birthday present to myself as it seems weird to have it as a present off someone else when I ordered it myself. I just need to think of a name for her?! My favourite girl names are Queenie and Barbie, and I doubt I'd ever find a guy who would let me name any children those but Barbie isn't appropriate for a different doll! I'll wait until she arrives from Hong Kong to see if she looks like a Queenie! I'll have to find a great first outfit too.
The rest of the day was spent doing my nails. I did grow to like the white doves on black and a lot of you liked them too, but after a week I got bored and had saved loads of Hello Kitty nail inspiration from Fuck Yeah Pretty Nails and the nails category of the Hello Kitty Tumblr.
I tried!! You can't really go over and over the polish of nails and keep perfecting it because you mess it up even more and they go all lumpy, but I don't want to buy any nail pens as I already own a tonne of polish! I was using old liquid eye liner brushes but next time I'll make sure I'm in really bright daylight and go especially slowly. I know it would look neater if all the lines and dots were perfect but hopefully from afar they look OK! I also stuck on some pearls that I got in a nail art set from Poundland haha! On my right hand I've got pink and lilac leopard with pearls too.
Going to sort out the thumb! I mostly tried to follow a YT video and this girl does it absolutely perfectly! I can't embed it but click here if you want to see. I also made a video on gel nails on my YouTube channel! For those who wondered, these are what gel nails look like when you take off any polish.
Oh yay you will love your blythe!!! I have four blythes hehe, in fact one of my friends took the photo that is under your about me bio :) are you on flickr, there is like a whole blythe community there :)

This is so wierd that you posted a video about gel nails, as I just got mine done last night! I haven't gotten gels in a solid year and I just really wanted to have some nice nails to experiment with and paint over. They hurt SO MUCH this time when they went under the UV lamps, I have no idea why! I don't ever remember them hurting this much! And now today it looks like the gels are already lifting!! I think I need to stop in there again tomorow because I really don't think they should be lifting after one day!
Oh and I only recently (about 2 years ago) stopped biting, so yey for us!

Your nails are epic!! Well done! Nail art is so time consuming isn't it? You just end up hating the world, but it's worth it when you wake up the next day to amazing nails.
Re: your boyf-related tuesday tip (which cracked me up!) I find you can buy love quite effectively with ice cream and sweets. I wish I was joking.
