Of course I could just practice this instead... Long fingernails don't matter on the recorder! (But I want to play my ukulele!) #nailbloggerproblems

F is really hard with long fingernails (just look at the angle I have to use on that index finger! At least the middle fingernail can hang over the edge). I am avoiding Em and D and you can just forget anything that requires all 4 fingers. I should just get the swatches done so I can cut my nails already. #nailbloggerproblems

Love my kitten. <3 #nailart

Messing around with my #bornprettystore clear stamper, some #mundodeunas bronze over #nailjuice "Barcelona" using plate #bp66 - I love the clear stamper from BPS, it works really well for me. @nailjuice @bornprettystorenailart

Planning some stuff... #dragonlorelacquer #nzindiepolish

Testing out chrome powder sample packs which came helpfully unlabelled. They all look practically identical so you don't know what colour they really are until you add moisture! Still 12 more to test. I am numbering them as I go so I can mix up polish later and know what I'm mixing! #nzindiepolish in the making. #dragonlorelacquer

Playing with some @nailjuice polish "Sea Lore" (had to buy it for the name, bonus is that it's a gorgeous colour!). #nailjuice #polishswatch on crappy phone camera.

An unnamed colour by @nailjuice with some gold #mundodeunas stamping. I'm at a Scottish Country Dancing School, so they're themed right. 😀 #nailart #nailstamping #nailjuice

Some Snoopy for Boxing Day. #revlon "Mon Cherry" stamped with #mundodeunas "Gold". #nailart #nailstamping

Hopefully this posts better quality than FB, which just made this video look awful. The sparkly goodness that is @nailjuice "Red Ribbon" in the sun. #nzindiepolish #nailjuice

Been a while since I've uploaded any nail art here. Not a proper pic, either, but the inlaws are staying and my photography station has been dismantled. This is @nailjuice "Love Bird" stamped with #mundodeunas "Fuchsia" using #bundlemonster plate BM-719. Such a cheerful shade for summer! #nailjuice #nailart #nzindiepolish #nailstamping

When buying a new bike it's important to match your nails. Right? 😁 #newtoys #nailsandmybike

There's something just really pleasing about a good red gel manicure. #gelpolish
