Olympic Manicure

As the Olympic torch is making it's way to the North East tonight I thought I'd go with the Olympic theme.  (I bloody love a theme!)


Now given that I done this mani at midnight after a glass of wine I don't think I've done too bad... My eyes were burning with tiredness (and a lil alcohol) so yes I have impressed myself with this!

Thumb - Nails Inc St James with OPI I've Red the Script polka dots.
Index - Barry M Spring Green with green nail crystals.
Middle - Barry M Black with Nails Inc Big Ben polka dots.
Ring - Barry M Lemon Ice Cream with yellow nail crystals.
Pinky - Nails Inc Baker Street with Nails Inc Hammersmith 3D special effects over the top.

Each one of my nails is supposed to represent one of the rings:





Also note my nails have got shorter again.  I decided they needed it.  I think being unwell as taken it's toll on my skin and nails.  They weren't in a bad condition as such but were bad for me because usually my nails are in a really good condition.  My skin is looking a bit sallow too... I was thinking about getting a vit c booster but my skin is also super sensitive at mo so I don't know if it'll do more harm than good?  

If anyone has any suggestions on a good facial serum or moisteriser please let me know... I know I need something desperately because this grey look isn't all that fetching.
