OOTD 08/04/11 casual park day, mani/pedi

Hey friends and blog viewers,

how are you on this fine day?

as most of you uk'ers known, it has been quite a nice day today..and what a fun day it has been, it started off with me and ma soeur/sister sat in our garden, i was reading Chosen, the 3rd house of the Night novel and sitting in the sun....i was expecting to see my friend Grace at 12pm but turns out she only woke up then so we made it 1 so i sat and waited.......then she arrived, finally......
we have a tradition of on the first full day of holidays, we started Easter hols yesterday round midday, and we meet up at my house and go to Camden and get magazines, sometimes starbucks, bit o food like sandwiches - i had cheese and ham from Cafe Nero but we ate in Starbs where i had a skinny WHITE chocolate mocha frappy and she had a choco frappy...we then went to sit in Regents Park in the sun......

we were there reading magazines such as: More and i think Heat was one then 2 really hot shirtless young adults doing karate...mmmm


we strolled down to camden again to book manicures - shape & paint and pedicures - shape & paint scheduled for 15:30 at Camden's Nail & Beauty, £4 for mani and £8 for toes-  cheapest i've seen..btw this is the new Top Nails, that shut down and now they opened up a cheaper one in a new place with the same lOVELY people...


obvs i chose o.p.i and since flip-flop season is in i thought i would get a colour on my toes to mach my fave Havaianas which i made, brown with pink strap, and since i've not been able to buy it myself or seen it at a salon i chose: Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, grace got this with the black shatter topcoat on top but i found that would clash with my flippys but grace's were black and studded so it looked so good, here is a google image of what they look like on hands..

it was a slightly thicker coat though on my toes, i love it <3, they also didn't file them too low and nicely shaped them which i find places like Prim do. i <3 it...


i looked at the prices and i think and a full manicure + french polish is £13, i noticed grace got the shatter coat and teenage dream for still £5 no added so i realised if i found a light pink i could ask for a white tip and it would still be £5 <3 yay.....so i found O.P.I's Passion which looked slightly darker in the bottle, after only one coat - which they only offer, it didn't make a difference more like a high gloss top coat which i didn't liked so i begged for another coat and they did - next time i might go with Essie's new French Affair as a base, wait i'd add the plain colour next..

this is looks like quite a few coats, the girl did the tips quite well, not to big or small and i like the look of it....but still a bit to faint...
next time i go, on my toes, if i dont get teenage dream i'm gonna get something from the pirates of the carribean collection (potc).. i really like Sparrow me The Drama, Planks A Lot and Mermaids Tears with the silver shatter coat on top..

these all would look really pretty on toes <3, i probably would always get a french on my hand, i quite like Steady as a ROse though for the base colour now i've looked closely at them....
oo i'm also gonna show you a picture of my outfit, im wearing a playsuit from a stall in Ibiza, i got in the summer...

i <3 this,


how has your friday been?
