Oh yes, that's true, we used to get additional bills for the extortionate nurshing home costs for my grandma, for 1 x Tea & Toasted Teacake, 1 x Daily Telegraph, etc for when they took her out.

I managed to find some wraps, but couldn't put them on very well on Wednesday evening in the hotel, so they look a bit shit.

I'm going to have a go with just nail polish before Sunday though.

I'm not keen. :)) They feel a bit clunky. And the bronze on its own was lovely so I sort of feel like I've ruined it.

I do not have freakishly small hands, this is wallopette's entry. I will do mine tomorrow. I forgot and had a large glass of wine with dinner and I'm not the steadiest at the best of times.

I tried to do gold tips earlier but it was catastrophic. I will try something else maybe Monday. Meanwhile if anyone has any tips for my tips....

Mine are GOLD, some are also sparkly and I will be adding flags tomorrow. I did have quite a good Union Jack on but I took it off this morning.

Just on the silver ones, Ruby.

I did try marbling but three metallics didn't really work.

That would have been ace, Wend. I bet you could do a good gradient with metallics. I can't be arsed but someone should. No pressure.
