I would have posted yesterday, as I didn't paint my nails until Monday, but the internet got put back to dial up speed, so I didn't really have a chance.
I went out on Sunday, my usual nail painting day, to buy myself a suitcase for my upcoming move, and as I like to give my nails the entire day to dry I had to put nail painting off until Monday. And as I only have a few weeks left in the country, I might continue this. I find I can still work while I paint my nails (or paint my nails while I work), whereas going out on a Sunday really messes up my nail polish routine. Plus, I have a few craft projects I am madly trying to finish, so Sunday is rather wasted.
But because I was working, I went with a fairly simple design. An old favourite - I love painting my nail base one colour, and then painting the tips in something contrasting. This week, the base colour is a fairly new one from the OPI Katy Perry collection - Not Like the Movies - and the tips are done in a colour I used only in the last week or two - Deer Valley Spice. (For anyone who doesn't know, my nails are only ever painted in OPI)
I'm really happy with it. I also toyed with using my favourite colour - It's All Greek to Me - but it's a little gluggy and I needed something that would dry fairly well. Gluggy on my tips is not ideal, as it would be so much easier to smudge it or worse. But I think Deer Valley Spice - which is slightly darker, purpler than Greek - works really well. And I love Not Like the Movies, because it looks silver/grey in some lights and then green in others. Oh, and it's a bit sparkly, which is my favourite bit.
