I'm having great fun. Working on a set of Hobbit ones at present. If they sell its a bonus, if not it's keeping me occupied hehe

I've also just completed a set of Dr Who nails!

I shall

I'm working on some Halloween themes at the moment to try and grab that market. I've got nothing to lose really as I had the stock of false nails so may as well use them up

Finished a set of Hobbit nails which I adore this morning

You're very talented.

Good god my OH would go mad! Stoke in this house

I'll have a crack at it next week, could be fun and I could use a guinea pig.

Excellent, let me know when and how to pay

Concidentally, the only football match I've ever been to was Liverpool v Stoke lol. xoxo, have you seen my attempt at a liver bird [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]? Looks like a slightly overweight dragon...

It's much better than I could do!

I love the footie, we did have season tickets but with Steve working so far away now it became a bit impractical.

As for payment, I've told you, you're my guinea pig so postage will do. You may hate them yet anyway!

Don't be daft, i'll pay for them I'm sure they'll be wonderful

Playing catchup a bit here, I've been stupidly busy and quite ill this last 2 weeks so things have been sliding a little.

Firstly, xoxo, I haven't forgotten the nails, I have started them but not had chance to finish because my Etsy store has been amazingly busy! I put a few sets on ebay and a few on etsy and have actually ended up having to make up a lot more because people are buying them (and loving them thank god!)
I'm currently in the middle of making up another 5 sets of potter nails to ship out.

On top of this, Dominic Monaghan who played Merry in Lord of The Rings tweeted a pic of my LOTR nails which caused my twitter to implode and people from the USA wanting to know which salon I worked in and could they book an appointment......when I'd come down from the ceiling I found my orders springing to life with people contacting me directly and via twitter and the blog.

So, mad few weeks all round really! Did make up a quick new set which were more for fun this afternoon, I have a horrible histories obsession and I've always thought the Georges would make fab nails.

Hey pulliptears! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Good to see you back, sorry to hear you haven't been well.

I was wondering how your Etsy store was doing as I noticed you haven't been around for a while - it sounds like things are going very well indeed! Well done.

thanks hun.

Mat Baynton just tweeted me and said my HH ones were fabulous. Life is now complete. **swoon**

They are amazing, and I am so happy that this is successful for you hon, you deserve it.

That's amazing! Well done

Updated with a new 'accidental' design that came about while waiting for something to dry

Those Cat in the Hat nails are amazing!

Wow

Can I just say, the nails Pullip makes are amazing! I highly recommend trying them

Awww thank you

I was actually making 'The Snowman' nails. I sat all afternoon hand painting them and used a new W7 topcoat on them which for some reason bloody cracked all the paint. Never had that problem before but it reacts to the paint. had to start again
