Just too easy!

It is far to easy to buy online!! You could be casually looking a uv nail polish and the bam! You've spent £160 (or is that just me) if for example you are buying something in a shop, while you are waiting in the line for the cash out you have time to think *do I really NEED these shoes...?* bad example you always need shoes! *do I really NEED this top?* where as buying online all you do is add to basket and click ship, and done! You are the owner of a god awful dress that looks like a sack on anybody! They should have a little timer on the checkout page called *are you sure you need this* pause although that might cut down business, maybe I should just get one for my laptop...

I for example wanted a really pretty nail polish roll thing that is £10 but then I saw a little case and you get a matching roll!! Ooooh pretty and only £19.99!!
Crap I just doubled what I intended on spending but without a second thought I was on the conformation page tell me it will be with me in 2/4 working days.

She gets a day off but I don't

So when I got the stables today belle was grazing out in the field, so I did all my jobs (muck out, get clear water, hay nets) also it was my day to clean the fields. But io course it was raining I got wet -.- belle was happy as larry with her grass. I left it last minuet to bring her in and put her rug on so she had a day off. When do I get a day off? Well tomorrow technically but have a lot to do so I don't :( 

I seem to spends most of my time at work on forums, whether it be on Horse and Hound or Saloon Geek (nail section). There are some really interesting posts :) 

I did my first set of Gelax nails on my self today!! It was from the Crystal range called Sherry Baby. Looks lovely but will see how long it's lasts, says up to two weeks but with a horse....hmm we shall see! 

Also attacked my mums credit card again with the email code I got from EN last night, 5 new Gelax polishes should be here be tomorrow!! Along with some other stuff but that's not as exciting ;) 

Here are my nails tonight :)


I didn't die and I got 30% off

Took belle out today with Major (lovely grey cob) and she was brilliantly behaved! To say she does like being out on her own she strides in front of anybody she is with! Maybe she is still racing minded and wants to win.

Got an email from Essential Nails saying I have an item left in my basket from when they had the 30% off day. Then went on to say 'we recognise you would still want the 30% off!' So have given me a code that lasts all week!!! Well thank you, I'll take that and go spend some money money!! 4 new polishes? Yes please!! Saved about £20 so very happy!

Here is belle when she went for walkies yesterday :) love my mare!!

Belle walkies!!

OMG the pain! I had a lessons with my yard owner on Saturday and it was brilliant belle went amazingly very happy with her but then Sunday walking down the stairs was the most painful thing ever!! I have pulled my quads but only in my left leg was worth it though :)
Yesterday due to the heat and belle already very hot in her stable I didn't want to school her so wanted to go for a hack, she isn't the best horse to hack on her own so want to go with somebody, but there wasn't anybody to go with :( so there was me walking down the road with a big ass thoroughbred leading her -.- felt slight better when I found out my mum had taken one of our cats for a walk (he has issues) we might as well get a dog!!

So might have gotten a but carried away with my nail comp ideas :( found it didn't work as well as I hoped and so had to adapt it :( and the adaptation isn't going well either. My feeling I could have a good chance of winning are running off and hiding :(

Oh well better get up now...

And when you lift up the skirts!!

You know when you get an idea in your mind then your imagination take a fancy to it and nicks it and they have a fling? Well that just happened! 

*Ring ring! Ring ring!*
"Hello pizza doner?"

Really need to stop blogging at work, keep getting interrupted by rude people wanting pizzas! -.-

Anyway, I was struggling to think of a unique concept for a nail art competition, then my idea hit me in the face on Facebook (of all places) it will take time but man I'm excited about!! Will post pictures once I enter, don't want people to steal my idea ;)
Also started my assessment nails that will be sent off today but after seeing some feedback on others on Essential Nails Facebook page I may need to have another look :S

Belle's cuddles trick is coming on well, it does help she is a very clever mare, makes training her a million times easier :D

Side note, why is the word unique so special? It's seems to be the only word that begins with a vowel which, if it follow a, then a doesn't change a "an"  -.- that's the English a level student in me waking up, better go before I rewrite my whole post.

Bye!

But look how much I saved!!!

Ooops! Maybe went a touch crazy on a spending spree today :S I got an email from essential nails who I do my gel course with say "hey look 30% off EVERYTHING today!!" How is a girl to say no? I had my sensible head on, thinking okay I can get a few more files, buffer blocks, sanitizer spray and wipe off solution while its in sale! Great plan! Then I saw the tips were on offer so got some of those then the glue bottle nozzles too then sensible Kim got kicked off the laptop and 'ooooh that's a pretty polish' jumped on! So top and base coat got added (which to be fair are very useful things to have!) and then 7 polishes...spent about £110, but I saved about £40!!! So totally worth it!!

I did my own gels this morning with a ton of dusty pink glitter!! Love how the came out and they lasted great being down at the stables sorting Belle! May have cracked how to stop them lifting!!

Started teaching Belle to "cuddle" today!! That mare will do anything for a treat! I'll post a pic tomorrow of her progress :)

But here are my gels from today :)

Extra day, extra money!

I got told today that the other lady I work with is willing to give up one of her days and so I can have it! It's such a weight to be lifted as since buy my car I gave been on the skinter side of things :S but this extra day will help an incredible amount!! 

Did some schooling with Belle today and my YO said to let go a bit as I'm holding her back in trot and so she isn't working correctly. I did so and the improvement was instant! I feel bad for holding her so tight and telling her off when she acted up as all she wanted was for me to let go of her mouth!! 

Also bought a new brush today for putting glitter on nails and got some new tips on applying, maybe now they won't ping off as easy...I'll try in the morning and post some pictures.

Night!

"Careful as she will get the better of you"

So my yard owner said I should start taking Belle out on hacks again (a few weeks ago I had gone out on my own and all hell broke lose meaning me doing the walk of shame back to the yard leading Belle). So I went out with my friend Lauren and a pony named Ted, she was totally chilled and very good until we got to the grass bridle way and I asked for trot...she tried to canter off totally ignoring my attempts to pull her up. Managed to stop and turn around and Lauren suggested we trot back que belle breaking back in to canter -.- once back on the roads she was fine! Good as gold again, maybe shouldn't have bought a ex race horse -.-

YO said I need to nip the bad behaviour in the bud or she will know she can get away with it, and then I'll have some really problems. 

Belle is a pain at times but I do love her.

Shall I start from scratch?

So by now I was meant to be in Canada, living there with my brother for a few months. This had been my plan since I was 15, now 2 months in to said planned trip and I'm still in Yorkshire...sliver lining? I bought Belle. An under weight, under worked and slightly skitty ex race horse...hmm. But I do love her, even when she is trying to bronc off across the arena I walk in her stable, look at her and know she is mine. 
Another sliver lining? I figured out what I want to do! Nails have always been a passion if mine (long before horses actually) so now doing a gel course so I can be a nail tech. Yet that seems like a long way off from where I'm sitting (stuck in a corner of a pizza shop taking orders, but hey it pays the bills, just) 

But I will make, at some, I have the will power! The same as I have the will power to get Belle jumping by the autumn, although maybe need to work on her picking up the correct canter lead on the left rein...
