The Nail Nerd

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all having a good day! I'm feeling productive, lots of posts today, 3 so far, whew! I have a poll going in the sidebar. Since I've had no motivation for nail art lately I thought maybe it'd be fun to do a nail art contest for inspiration and maybe get some new ideas. I wanted to check on the response from your readers first to see if there's even an interest in one, so please place your vote :) Also feel free to come with suggestions for themes and prizes for such a contest!

I also have a little request, to anyone who happens to live close to a Claire's. Like many others I read Brookes blog, Getcha Naild Did and recently she posted the most fantastic mini collection from Claire's with bright pastels and I NEED it! I'm also on the hunt for Claire's Dream Catcher as I completely missed out on Chanel Jade. So, is anyone out there interested in maybe doing a swap, or could help me shop for them and ship them over here? Pretty please *puppy eyes* If you are willing to do this, please send me an e-mail!

EDIT: I found someone to swap me get the polishes I wanted, BIG thank you to everyone who offered to help. You all ROCK!

I have been recieving e-mails from readers who are unable to follow my blog, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a post about it to explain it and try to solve it for you guys.
The problem is when the followers box (located in the right most column, named Other Nail Nerds) either go missing completely or will load as an empty white box, sometimes it'll even load a part of an ad which is not supposed to be there!
It can look something like this:

WRONG!
Using latest version of Mozilla Firefox

If this is happening to you, note what browser you are using. It seems to only happen in older versions of various browsers and in Firefox (doesn't matter which version here). The easiest fix is to install and use the latest version of Internet Explorer or Google Chrome and you shouldn't have any problems viewing my site. I know Firefox had some issues in their latest update, maybe something that affects this, so I hope that soon there won't be any problems using that browser either.
This is what it should look like:

RIGHT!
Using latest version of Internet Explorer

I know which script is the "bad guy" and interfers with the follower box, but I do not know why it would not display correctly, why it's only the followers box that is affected by it or why some browsers have no problems with it while others do. I have been trying different things to try and solve this but so far I've got nothing. I'll keep trying, but updating your browser might still be a good idea!

If you find any other problems on my site, please let me know so I can get right on to fixing it, try to anyway :P

Hi everyone!

I've not only made a new design this weekend, I also formated both of my computers and forgot to save Photoshop, doh! So until that is sorted there wont be any new NOTD's =(
Just letting you guys know why the blog has been quiet for a couple of days, hopefully I'll have all necessary programs back up and running shortly and I can get back to my daily posts!

Until then, take care and don't forget to enter the giveaway! It's open to EVERYone!

I'll be back in a couple of days!
Merry Christmas and I hope you all have a great holiday and get lots of great gifts!

Today I got a swap package from Kirsten from Een Minder Mutsig Nagelblog! My first ever swap and it was great! It started as a one bottle swap and totally got out of control with 10+ bottles going each way :P
Of course the mailman came like 5 minutes before I had to leave for work, so I haven't had time to play around with them yet. But here's pictures!

Nfu-Oh #52 and #55

P2 Glory, Dangerous and Rich

Essence All Access, Groovy and Most Wanted

Essence Spicy, Spotlight and Iced Chai Latte

Last but not least: Goodies!
Cuticle Oil, Lipgloss, Essence Stampy Kit and Dutch Babbelaars
which are hard butter candies, super yummy!

These are my first Nfu-Oh, P2 and Essence polishes so I'm super excited! They all look great! Thank you so much Kirsten! If you're curious to see what I sent her, click here! I'm definitely looking forward to hopefully doing more swaps in the future, had alot of fun!

Hi guys!
The headboard is DONE! YAY!
It's a pretty basic padded headboard in black faux leather, was going with fabric first but there's just gonna get a bunch of dust stuck in it, and I realised wouldn't be able to take the cover off to wash as it's attached with staples on the backside of the wooden frame. The reason I decided to build my own was cause they are insanely expensive to buy! Atleast over here they are, no matter where I looked they were far over my budget. Making it myself cut the cost down to 1/8th of the store prices. Totally worth the extra time, it was fun too!
This is how it turned out:

When the headboard was done I could paint my nails!
I went with Nubar Conserve, which is a really pretty green shimmer with a tiny hint of blue. I was a little dissapointed though as it looks more blue toned and kind of teal'ish in the bottle, but it's still a gorgeous shade of green!

See how it looks more blue in the bottle than on the nail? It's even more apparent in real life.

This was 2 coats, and I had no application problems what so ever. I really like Nubar polishes, they have a good formula and goes on smoothly. Great brush size which makes them easy to control. The only thing I don't like is the bottlecaps, they're not that comfortable to hold, had hoped they would have a rubber coating like Orly does, and they are slightly too light. I think the brush would be even easier to control if the cap had a little more weight.

Thats all for now! Thanks for reading!
