The freehand flag is great.
I'm going to do a proper olympic ring colours one this weekend, to bow out with.
Is this going in to the Paralympics too?

Is there anywhere in real life I can buy stickers or tape and that? My nails might just grow enough to make a last ditch entry on Sunday.

I was in Claire's again yesterday and they had loads of stickers and stuff.
They even sell stamping plates which I will be taking a closer look at tomorrow

Please do Skips. I need someone that I can live through.
I could easily buy everything in there and Accessorize.

I went in Claire's on Sunday and felt like someone's mum.

I have to stay out of Claire's these days because I struggle to remember that I am 34 when inside.
Perhaps I could become a very old emo?! :think:

I wouldn't go in on a weekend day and only went in because it was quiet. Otherwise I feel the same ~ even though I am someone's mum

Cheers George!
Bean you can get it in nail art kits, so Sally's or some larger Superdrugs maybe but it will be more expensive as it's part of a kit.

I like that Jewel Britannia.
I have Barry M's gold paint on order and I thought it would arrive today, so I only painted four nails on each hand.
I'll slap some Rainbow Connection on to take a photo, but my nails are not as good as I would wish. I did them better last week but never took a photo, like an idiot. (Scribble can verify I had Olympic nails, and that they were rubbish).
Shall we continue through the Paralympics? What is the Paralympic flag?
ETA Inspired by Povvo's blog, I also ordered striping tape, and have been trying out marbling.
