This is another one of those never-ending teas! Thank goodness, since it is a favourite.
Drank it with a tiny bit of sugar added, while painting my nails. Or, well. Attempting to paint my nails. And then I remembered I didn’t have any acrylic paint left so I couldn’t finish the manicure but that’s OK. Just the sponging took for-freaking ever. http://instagram.com/p/s5v4tAR5Ay/ The nail on my middle finger is honestly even. It curls as it grows, which annoys me.
The tea is as delicious as usual. Yet another I should drink more of, but I continuously reach for black teas without thinking. Maybe I should organize my cupboard by steeping temperature? Then I could set the kettle, and pull down a bin. It’d be faster than choosing a tea then setting the kettle!

Nice manicure! Nail polish is my other obsession, though it’s been ages since I’ve made the time to do my nails.
It’s almost a good thing that tea doesn’t last forever, or I’d have as much tea as I have nail polish and no one needs that much of anything.
Thanks! I’ve finally found a base coat that works for me, so I can actually do my nails and they’ll only start chipping on day 3 or 4, instead of being half gone the next morning. I also have a gel kit, but removing it with acetone just kills my nails.
Beautiful! I’ve been going a little crazy on nail polish these past few months but haven’t gotten into trying any of these techniques. It does look very time-consuming.
I really want a dotting tool so I can do polka dots. That seems fun, and like it wouldn’t take too long!
Yeah, that should be pretty straight forward. I’d consider getting that striping tape maybe too. But for now I’ve been too lazy for that haha. Just toppers and that’s it.
I used to have a base coat that worked fabulously for me, but my body chemistry has changed and now it makes my nails peel, so I need to do some experimenting.
You can use a toothpick or the tip of a pencil as a makeshift dotting tool, and scotch tape works well for masking – just touch the back of it with your finger a few times to make it less super sticky.
I really love colourful french manicures. One of my favourites was a black nail and tip with a white line dividing them, and then red on the underside of my nails, though it’s been ages since my nails were long enough to pull that off.
I’m feeling very inspired to do my nails now. Maybe that’ll be on my to do list for tomorrow.
I’ve been sucked in by textured nail polishes. I keep buying more when I see them on sale! I think they’re so neat, although annoying on the toes as the texture catches the sheets.
Thanks for the tips, Anlina! I’ll have to play around a bit more. :)
I have one of the pebbly nail polishes but it’s untried at the moment. I think it looks very cool, but I’m extremely neurotic and I’m pretty sure if I do put it on I’ll be touching my nails constant from the moment it’s dry till the moment I remove it.
That’s why I like it! :) It’s very soothing to me.
