Urgh

Just a little note to let any of the 4 of you who read this that I haven't fallen down the rabbit hole. I have however, had my computer crash, burn and die a terrible death resulting in the loss of all my pictures, data, e-books and knitting patterns. :( The good news? It's till under warranty, but I have to ship it away to get fixed. It was only 5 months old too.

I'll be back as soon as I have a new mani to show you. Right now I'm on day 5 of Essie Sew Psyched. Not a chip in sight! I'm working from a wee netbook so have to do some work arounds.

Have a gorgeous weekend.. and back up your data. LFMF.

Please enjoy some pictures from the past that I can actually access.

My Husband and the nail polish

I haven't really talked about my husband here much. I wasn't sure how he would take my nail polish re-addiction (when I met him in 1997 I had an enormous collection. that I sadly gave away when we moved. or something. I don't know why I got rid of them :/) this past year,

Turns out he thought it was cute. He bought me my Helmer, and put it together, He suggested I re-arrange them by colour. He also suggested I paint the nail wheels I've had hanging about for ever.

Last Sunday he insisted I get onto painting those wheels and even offered to help. He wrote down all my polishes and made me a spreadsheet for them! He is *such* an engineer. Totally organised!

He had an ulterior motive... he wanted to see what polishes would be good to paint his little plastic bombs and bullets. The bullet is dry brushed with Orly Dazzle, and the bomb is Jordana Wicked and SH Hidden Treasure. He says polish has way cooler finishes than acrylic paint and is just as easy to work with.

He is too cute.
