After com­plet­ing my 101 things in 1001 days task of stop bit­ing my nails about a year and half ago, I started bit­ing my nails and this drove me crazy, I could not seem to stop myself, every time I got stressed or wor­ried I would bite.  This hap­pened a lot due to the fact I’ve had exams every year for the past three years and learn­ing how to drive made me very ner­vous and on edge.

My fin­gers have been all short and to the stage where they would bleed.

My friend and me plus my bit­ten nails

So I went to visit my father and sis­ters in Scot­land, my youngest sis­ter who is now 12 told me she use to bite her nails but she found a solu­tion, if I kept my nails painted then I would not bite them, I was uh huh crazy kids and their nail painted ways but I hate to say it but it works! I haven’t bit­ten my nails since my sis­ter painted them when up there (crazy paint job I ended up with half my fin­gers cov­ered in red paint!) and it has been about two or three week, they are get­ting quite long.

I know this is a silly thing to ded­i­cate a whole blog post for but it’s a big deal for me, I’m try­ing to learn dif­fer­ent ways to cope with stress and these do not include chew­ing my nails until they bleed, but hav­ing long nails means I can paint them!  I’ve never been more excited!

I ordered a base coat and a top coat plus researched fash­ion colours for this year.

Sum­mer 2011

The first one is nudes, pale nudes and peach, I just brought these two from Barry M and can­not wait to try it out. These are men­tioned as the colour for Sum­mer 2011.

 

Spring 2011

The sec­ond is baby blues/blue or pale greens.  This one is for Spring 2011.  I need to get a more of a paler baby blue so will have to spend some time hunt­ing I like these ones.

Fall 2011

The third is lilacs, pur­ples & vio­lets for Fall 2011, I love love pur­ples in gen­eral so this is fab, I have this darker shade of pur­ple which I have been wear­ing and I have this new lilac shade which is called ice cream, yum!

Win­ter 2011

The fourth is Gun-Metal Grays metal­lic, I have a grey ish colour but I am unsure what is meant by this colour.

Another favourite trend at the moment is the whole crack­ing top coat, I have ordered it in black so will have to post a review once I start play­ing with it, hope­fully it should look pretty cool

I also think these are pretty cool!

I will wear nor­mally any colours minus yel­low, what are your favourite colour nail pol­ish? I do love red nails and spent two weeks with red nails now I am enjoy­ing paint­ing them dif­fer­ent colours.
