Surviving the lock down? The one question I have come to hate during this time is, "how are the wedding plans going?". Like seriously? Did you think that one through? How am I supposed to make any plans when there are no service providers working?? Fortunately, I have all my service providers. Now it's a case of waiting to see what's going to happen with this lock down. And deciding at what point do we start to worry.<br />
<br />
Anyway, nails! I decided to do mermaid nails for this one. Besides that I have a mermaid on my nail, my polishes are also mermaid inspired. I started with two coats of Ulta3 black satin on my pinky. On my thumb, index and ring finger I have two coats of Catrice mermayday anyway and on my middle finger I have two coats of Hean 401. I then added a coat of Sinful Colors green ocean to all my nails.<br />

On my pinky I stamped a scale image from Moyou Sailor 4 with Painted Polish stamped in scales. On my middle finger I added a mermaid decal. I think I should have used a slightly pink base for the mermaid, like China Glaze let's chalk about it. It would have made the green jelly less obvious.<br />

I actually went naked for 3 days!! I can honestly say that was three pretty bad days. We had to do PPE training at work, how to don and doff face masks, face visors and how to properly sanitize our hands. And sanitizing my hands 4 times in a row, actually lifted my polish... That's one of the reasons I stopped wearing my engagement ring weeks ago. I don't even want to know what the over exposure to different kinds of sanitizers would do to the integrity of my ring. <br />
<br />
Anyway, Joyce and Michelle was super understanding and allowed delaying the post by two days. It was my turn to choose our inspiration and I chose <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BRSddUKj0HJ/" target="_blank">this</a> manicure done by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kt_tk1/" target="_blank">@kt_tk1</a>. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of Fair Maiden Polish vintage romance on my thumb and index finger. On my middle finger I have a coat of Tip Top pink lemonade. On my ring finger and pinky I have two coats of Catrice oyster and champagne.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I then stamped an image from Moyou fashionista 11 with Nicole Diary white on my middle finger. I actually like that I managed to pick up the gold in oyster and champagne. Normally it just looks slightly pink in photos.<br />

What do you think? I kinda like how it turned out. I wish I had more time for nails... I'm actually behind with the 52weeknailchallenge and I don't mean with just posting. Normally I have time to do 3 mani's in the space of two weeks. That way I stay slightly ahead, now I only have time once maybe twice in a two week period. Which is very depressing for me. Doing my nails is essential ME time. I always feel better with a new mani.<br />

Maybe I can get back on track again this week. Although I can only do my nails on the weekends now, as our times have changed. So I spend less time at home.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not a huge fan of Easter mani's. I always struggle with ideas and then egg-xecution (see what I did there?). For this one I browsed Pinterest for a bit and came across <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/297800594113518772/sent/?invite_code=0b3cdd5b0d844d2d9cb28e45952bd5e7&sender=297800731518352670&sfo=1" target="_blank">this</a> and decided to use it as my inspiration.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I started with three coats of Hean 879 on all my nails. Top coated as I was going to use vinyls. While I was waiting a placed some bunny ears vinyls from the <a href="https://becauseishop.co.za/product/easter-two-theme-set/" target="_blank">Easter two set</a> from <a href="https://becauseishop.co.za/" target="_blank">becauseishop</a> on my miracle mat. I painted two coats of Hean 401, removing the vinyl immediately. Once that was dry, I added a strip of China Glaze hang-ten toes to the middle of the ears.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-KeFDSRDRdfHoidl7q-DtoB8T-qRhPS4dMo-hjsGQ1YGd0k6hhDZ-Wga96J0_vIHGbrLNvolkqe2pPsru57fNdlpuMZDtzcxNBg2XyeDHC2lnFRJUwqiXKXLVEu4cS0DnWKav1iHrxnQ/s1600/PicsArt_03-28-11.08.00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="1355" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-KeFDSRDRdfHoidl7q-DtoB8T-qRhPS4dMo-hjsGQ1YGd0k6hhDZ-Wga96J0_vIHGbrLNvolkqe2pPsru57fNdlpuMZDtzcxNBg2XyeDHC2lnFRJUwqiXKXLVEu4cS0DnWKav1iHrxnQ/s320/PicsArt_03-28-11.08.00.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the ears were dry, I placed one on my ring finger and top coated again. While that was drying I used the grass vinyls from the same set as the ears on the rest of my nails. Placed them at the tips of my nails and painted a coat of Celestial you can eat the grass?, removing the vinyls immediately. I then added some dots with Painted Polish stamped in scales, China Glaze meet me in the mirage and hang-ten toes.</div>

My ring finger getting the same treatment once it was dry. What do you think? I do like how this turned out. I feel like I should have made the grass longer though, but then it would probably have been too long.</div>

And Good Friday. And as a nation we were informed last night that our lockdown will be extended by another 2 weeks... Instead of ending 16 April it will now continue to the end of April. I feel devastated, not for myself, but my friends. Some of them are business owners and have staff that need to be paid. I can't even imagine how the rest of the country will be handling it.<br />
<br />
For this prompt I asked my other half for some assistance... Gave him Lina twirls and swirls 1 to choose a design. Then I asked for colours. Ans this is what came from that.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of China Glaza let's chalk about it on my index and ring finger. On my pinky is two coats of China Glaze meet me in the mirage. Lastly I have two coats of Hean 440 on my thumb and middle finger.<br />

Someone sent this to me the other day and it's been with me since then... It pretty much sums it up how I feel about this situation. I'd pretty much do almost anything to be at home and not have to go to work and put myself and my family at risk, but I don't have a choice.<br />
<br />
Anyway, let's do nails!! I kinda got the idea from Pinterest for this one. Grey with florals, so since the prompt is purple and grey, you have purple leaves and grey.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On my thumb and pinky I started with two coats of Essence gossip girl. On my index and middle finger is two coats of Essence rockablue. On my ring finger is two coats of Catrice plumdogmillionare.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now, about rockablue, I thought it was grey when I picked it up. Didn't even look at the name until I had to make a note of it. Then I looked at it and it looked rather blue, but I think that might just be because of the stamping. The stamping is done with Konad 17 and Essence prom-berry from Lina @kombucha_witch collab.<br />

I really liked how this turned out. I was actually tempted to use this image for our Triad post, but I decided against. I really do want to use it again. Any ideas? Colours|? What do you think? How does rockablue look to you?<br />
<br />

And since my one is late as usual, I've seen some very pretty ones pop up on Instagram. I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do for my one... But I'm not sure about how it ended up.<br />
<br />
Let me show you what I did... I started with two coats of China Glaze flying dragon on my thumb and index finger. On my middle and ring finger I have two coats of Tip Top bare with me. On my pinky I have two coats of Hean 856 sugar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then stamped an image from Lina make your mark 1 with Nicole Diary NS05 at my cuticle. I then stamped another image from Lina twirls and swirls with Nicole Diary white.<br />

What do you think? Flying dragon ended up darker than I expected, but the blue flecks in it is gorgeous. I'm also having some trouble with my pictures. I got a new phone recently and I'm not used to the camera yet... So for the next couple of posts the colour will be slightly off until I get it right. Any tips?<br />

The next post's pictures was still done with my previous phone, so those will be normal.<br />

I started with two coats of OPI DS pewter on my ring finger and pinky. On my thumb, index and middle finger I have two coats of OPI don't touch my tutu, with a coat of OPI int'l crime caper over that.<br />

I then stamped from Lina @shannasnailartadventures collab with Mundo de Unas light grey and then Nicole Diary black.<br />

Top coated and then added a coat of essence matt to meet you. I feel like this polish is a dud... On my middle finger it's a proper matte polish, looks and feels matte. On my thumb I added two more coats to get the same effect as my middle finger. Which is annoying!</div>

You can see here my thumb still looks shiny compared to my middle finger. Anyway, what do you think? I love this! I'm bummed about my right hand not being properly matte, but I can live with that. Don't forget to see what <a href="http://whatsonmynailstoday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joyce</a> and <a href="https://ordinarymisfit.com/" target="_blank">Michelle</a> did with our inspiration.</div>

Today is also the first day for our country wide lock down... Since the lock down was announced two days ago, people have lost their minds. Everyone and their aunt has flocked to the shops, ignoring the whole distancing thing. I won't be surprised if there's an increase in the amount of Covid cases because of this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just calm your tits and chill. You will still be able to go to the shop and get food, as there will be food. The only thing that is changing, is that you can't go when you want and with your whole household. We are trying to prevent the spread of this virus. Not encourage it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I, however, will be at work. Among all the other essential workers. So, if you aren't essential, stay home. Get to know your family again. Spend time with them, make the most of this. Start a new hobby, do that thing that you've been putting off because you didn't have time. Read a book! Because I kinda wish I was in your shoes... At home, with my other half. But I can't. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just. Stay. The Fuck. Home!! Do what you can to prevent the spread!</div>

I'm not going to tell you to wash your hands and cover up when you cough and sneeze, because you should KNOW to do that in any way!!! As most of you might know, I am a medical receptionist at a practice with 13 Dr's. On an average day we see about 250 patients per day. On a busy day we have closer to 300, now imagine having to deal with over 300 people for a couple of days in a row...<br />
<br />
In the past 2 weeks I have experienced people lying about traveling, people refusing to follow our protocols of sanitizing their hands before they enter our practice and refusing to wear face masks. Putting our whole practice and subsequently putting all of the staff members, the Dr's and our families at risk. The selfishness of people shocks me to my core. BUT I have also seen people in our community offer to do shopping and odd tasks for the immune compromised and the elderly and that gives me a tiny bit of hope for humanity.<br />
<br />
And as exhausted as my colleagues and myself are, we still try and do the best to our abilities for our patients. So if you happen to find yourself in a medical facility and the staff look harassed and exhausted, try and take it easy on them. We are worried of being a risk to our families and we are worried for the well being of our patients. We don't need you to be assholes. Hell offer us a cup of coffee! We will love you for it. With that said, be safe and look after each other.<br />
<br />
Now to the nails.... That's what we here for right? It was easy finding an unused polish, but doing a manicure with it is the tricky part. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with three coats of ILNP funhouse on my thumb, index and middle finger. On my ring finger and pinky I have two coats of Catrice PLUMdogmillionare.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then stamped a design from Lina @urbannailart collab plate with Nicole Diary black on my middle finger.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then that didn't work... So here I am with something super easy, pretty and very much open to interpretation. Because no one got it. Let me show you what I did and judge for yourself.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of China Glaze beaches and toes on my thumb, index and middle finger. On my ring finger and pinky I have two coats of a Pahlish mystery polish.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then stamped an image from Lina Summer 3 with Nicole Diary white on my ring finger and pinky. And there we have waves...<br />

Easy and pretty, well I think so. What do you think? I really like beaches and toes. I wanted to add a stamped bikini to it... but it looked like a smiley face, so I decided against it and surprisingly I didn't have foot prints in stamp form... And since my original idea didn't work out, no way I was going to freehand that shit.<br />

I knew I didn't want to do another gradient, as I did one last year for the yellow and green prompt.. And I used neon polishes for that... But then I thought screw that and did a gradient anyway.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats Ulta3 tahiti on my thumb, on my ring finger and pinky I have two coats of Ulta3 fruit tingle. On my index and ring finger I have one coat of Hean white not worrying about opacity.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzj0vROshIwBMzg0FBiddmNsfTvCjAueSTrpjGl_NGnNSuzlLXpGJVsYKo4J_4LFoLHy7jm6nm5oHJkMJnj-V1sIIuukR-6CbtE2-f_MHX3YWZpbvz5n9PISMqa9YqxzkhAe1qXkZavMc/s1600/PicsArt_02-07-05.38.30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="911" data-original-width="1367" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzj0vROshIwBMzg0FBiddmNsfTvCjAueSTrpjGl_NGnNSuzlLXpGJVsYKo4J_4LFoLHy7jm6nm5oHJkMJnj-V1sIIuukR-6CbtE2-f_MHX3YWZpbvz5n9PISMqa9YqxzkhAe1qXkZavMc/s320/PicsArt_02-07-05.38.30.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
For the gradient I used Ulta3 tahiti and Ulta3 fruit tingle. It looked better blended in real life than in the pictures. It definitely didn't have a visible line. Once that was dry I added a tattoo-esque stamp from Konad Square 7 with Nicole Diary black.<br />

What do you think? I liked it, mostly because neon polishes make me look more tanned!<br />

This time it was Joyce's turn to choose our inspiration and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOvp-yFMcC/" target="_blank">this</a> mani done by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gert_nails/" target="_blank">@gert_nails</a> was her choice. I did this mani early in the month and I nearly forgot about the post. So I either forget about it entirely and do it too late or I do it to early. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of essence a hint of love on my thumb, ring finger and pinky. On my index and ring finger I have three coats of OPI don't touch my tutu.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then stamped a square from Lina feeling shapely 9 with Nicole Diary white. The vertical and horizontal lines are from Lina feeling shapely 1 stamped with Nicole Diary black.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then added the leaves from Lina Summer 3 and Autumn 1, also with Nicole Diary black. I had to add a matte top coat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the OPI one and I do prefer it to other matte top coats. The rest doesn't have the same affect.</div>

I have foils, but I've never used them before and they always seemed a little finicky to me. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of Essence gossip girl on my thumb, index finger and pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have three coats of Hean 870.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf5rdTCguo7t8x6uM43Bfvp4rQM3XbR9PVwI1XsiFGiY6BsJESelvmcwxuWu_g32hkR9Cl2uJQGXjFQST-aJxy7LJYE_wDwm_en4oK006gEhnpLYhisisz4WfAc_uvhcMdKIvmNCyIReA/s1600/PicsArt_02-07-05.35.17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="1270" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf5rdTCguo7t8x6uM43Bfvp4rQM3XbR9PVwI1XsiFGiY6BsJESelvmcwxuWu_g32hkR9Cl2uJQGXjFQST-aJxy7LJYE_wDwm_en4oK006gEhnpLYhisisz4WfAc_uvhcMdKIvmNCyIReA/s320/PicsArt_02-07-05.35.17.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I top coated my middle and ring finger as I was going to use the foil on them. I waited about 20 mins and then used Nicole Diary foil glue. I tried for a brush strokey distressed look, but it didn't quite work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On my index finger I stamped a single line with Nicole Diary black from Lina feeling shapely 1. I then used a piece of foil immediately after wiping some alcohol on the back of the foil. It didn't transfer as nicely as I wanted it to, but at least its there.</div>

I generally have all these ideas I want to use, but I can't seem to pull it together. And that frustrates me. But let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />

Everytime I remind myself to sit my ass down and start, I'm busy with something else. And when I do have time, it's when we have loadshedding. And then I obviously don't have internet. <b>sigh </b>Maybe one day I'll be ahead or on time.<br />
<br />
So, blue and gold. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of Hean 852 sugar on my ring finger and pinky. On my thumb, index and middle finger I have two coats of OPI keeping Suzi at bay.<br />

So I combined a couple of looks. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I started with two coats of essence gossip girl on my thumb, index and pinky. On my ring finger I have two coats of OPI DS pewter and on my middle finger is two coats of essence pink dreams are made of this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then stamped the zig zag image from Lina feeling shapely 1 with Mundo de Unas light grey. I'm pretty happy that light grey matched so well to gossip girl.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I added a dot of pink dreams are made of this to all the nails with gossip girl. What do you think?<br />

This month it was my turn to choose the inspiration, so I went with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BXnRcd9DmpX/?igshid=1a835n1s6apwl" target="_blank">this</a> mani by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/manicure.d/" target="_blank">@manicure.d</a>. I just loved the look of the metallic with the marble. I know some people (<b>eyes Joyce</b>) was a little daunted by the fact that actual watermarbling was involved in achieving the look. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of China Glaze swatch out! on my ring finger. On my thumb, index, middle finger and pinky I started with a coat of Tip Top perfect look. I then stamped an image from Lina @tanya_wish collab with Nicole Diary black.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added another coat of perfect look. Once that was dry I stamped another marble looking image from Lina make your mark 8 with Mundo de Unas light grey. I then added another stamp from Lina @kombucha_witch collab with BPS gold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I top coated and waited for it to dry as I was going to use vinyls. I used half moon vinyls from TwinkledT and painted a coat of swatch out! in the area between the vinyl and my cuticle, removing the vinyl immediately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I really enjoyed this. I was considering adding another layer to it, but decided against it. I like how the black is darker in some areas. What do you think? Don't forget to head on over to <a href="https://ordinarymisfit.com/" target="_blank">Michelle</a> and <a href="http://whatsonmynailstoday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joyce</a> and see what they did. I'm not even going to hazard any guesses as to what they may have done. They've been surprising me lately.</div>

I really struggled with this one last year and now here it is again! I decided to keep it simple this time.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of China Glaze for Audrey on my thumb, index and middle finger. On my ring finger and pinky I have two coats of China Glaze meet me in the mirage.<br />

Let me show you.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of Catrice good lack! on all my nails. I then stamped the lines from Lina feeling shapely 1 with Mundo de Unas sky blue and orchid.<br />

I've been wanting to use it for a while, but now I don't know if I did it justice. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of Cirque Lapis Lazuli on all my nails except my middle finger. On my middle finger I have two coats of Hean 870.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The stamp is from Moyou tropical 04 stamped with Nicole Diary black. I coloured in the birds with Lapis Lazuli, the eyes with Hean 440.<br />

And that's that. I think that lapis lazuli may have been a little dark, or maybe I should have made the eyes a different colour. Anyway, lapis lazuli is gorgeous.</div>

I've been terrible with posting the challenge posts as the weeks just seem to get away from me, all the time. Since I'm late already with the new year's challenges, I decided to post the remaining ones from last year all together and hopefully this year will be better... But with planning the wedding I might not.<br />

And I have a not so funny story to tell as to why my post is about 2 hours late... I lost track of this month. Even with Xmas being two days ago, I thought I still had another week before this was due. Face Palm right?<br />
<br />
This month it was Joyce's turn to choose and she chose <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B3H0poGHjeY/?igshid=kcxpxmkr6s4d" target="_blank">this</a> manicure by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B3H0poGHjeY/?igshid=kcxpxmkr6s4" target="_blank">@melcisme</a>. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with two coats of Pahlish Gryffindor on my thumb, index and pinky. On my ring finger I have two coats of Pahlish Golden Snidget. On my middle finger I have two coats of Catrice good lack!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then stamped the lines on middle finger from Lina Feeling shapely 1, with a gold born pretty polish. Adding a bow decal afterwards.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What do you think? I obviously haven't worn this long enough yet, but I'm starting to like it...<br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out what <a href="https://ordinarymisfit.com/" target="_blank">Michelle</a> and <a href="http://whatsonmynailstoday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joyce</a> did. I can't even hazard a guess as to what they did as I haven't checked it out yet. Ladies, sorry for being late!!! At least it wasn't a midnight mani!<br />
<br />

I need a break. From everything, but then, thinking of next year and I get butterflies! Next year I get to say "I do".<br />
<br />
With this prompt I browsed Pinterest for a bit and then combined some of the looks. Let me show you what I did.<br />
<br />
I started with three coats of Hean City Fashion 163 on my thumb and pinky. On my index and middle finger I have two coats of I love Hean 401. On my ring finger I have two coats of China Glaze meet me in the mirage.<br />

Hopefully I'll catch up soon.<br />
<br />
Let me show what I did for this prompt. I started with three coats of Morgan Taylor go for the glow on my thumb and index. On my middle and index I have a coat of China Glaze daisy know my name. On my pinky I have three.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
