Seriously, this is just a preview. There's more!

Dear readers,

let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to paint her nails. She enjoyed combining different polishes, making nail art, and buying new polish. She even blogged about it.

But then one day she realised she had used only two polishes for the last four months. She didn’t have time for nail art anymore, and the sight of the polishes in her drawer now filled her with anxiety, not pleasure.

With a heavy heart, she decided to sell some of her polishes. She kept a few, but the others she posted on her blog for sale so that others might give them a better home.

Yes, I’m having a blog sale. Yes, there’s tons of awesome, once-swatched indies up for grabs (and even a few unopened ones). There’s also some commercial high-end and drugstore polishes, and some polishes that have been used more than a few times. These will be clearly marked and priced lower.

Buying more gets you cheaper polishes: Buy 5, get the 6th one (of equal or lower value) free, buy 10 and you get 3 (of equal or lower value) free. If you’re buying more than that, I’ll be sure to throw in some extras!

Prices are in Euro, but since payment is via Paypal, you don’t have to worry about that – you can set it to pay in € and it will apply its conversion rate and charge you in your home currency.

Shipping is from Austria, so it’s a great opportunity for Europeans to get some of those indie polishes without customs and with cheaper shipping. I’ll be in Germany in early July and can post packages from there at domestic rates for Germans (and cheaper rates for others than from Austria), same with the UK in late July.

Overseas shipping, however, is pretty expensive, but might be worth it for out-of-stock polishes, that’s up to you.

The first part of the blog sale (indie polishes) will be going up today, the second part (high-end commercial and drugstore polishes) probably tomorrow. You can reserve items for 72 hours.

But now let’s get back to the story, because there is a happy end.

Our heroine decided she’d just use the polishes left over for a while and see if she felt like blogging. She wasn’t done with nail art completely, she felt, just waiting for inspiration.

Love,

Captain Spacenails

Hey there, dear readers!

It's been a while since I posted geeky nail art, so how about some River Song?

I didn’t think I’d have that much to write about her but once I started, a whole post happened. Because she is wonderful and mad and at first I didn’t like her at all but it’s hard to resist the lure of someone so badass and resourceful. I confess, I was jealous of what she had with the Doctor, but now I’m rather more jealous of what the Doctor had with her. And I just know we’d be best buddies, because I’d ask something and she’d be all “Shh, spoilers!” and I’d be all “Thanks for the warning, never mind then – in fact, please don’t tell me, I hate spoilers!” and then she’d grin at me and snog me with her psychedelic lipstick and wait, what? Did I type that out loud?

Right, let’s get back to the lady herself. I have two wonderful polishes dedicated to her: Melody Malone aka River Song from LynBDesigns and Hello, Sweetie from Nail Pattern Boldness. (Well, actually I have three, but I'll have to feature LynBDesigns' Bespoke Psychopath some other time.) Interestingly, they’re all varying shades of purple. It’s not like she wears a lot of purple, but somehow the colour seems right for her.

For nail art, I chose her alter ego Melody Malone as shown on the cover of the book the Doctor is reading in The Angels Take Manhattan (then they take Berlin). Did you know that this story has actually been published as a book and, more importantly, as an audiobook read by River Song herself? I got it from Audiogo but you can also get it directly from the BBC store and other places.

I think it looks better before the addition of the smoking gun, because that causes the lines to muddle up, but I thought it was a good look for Hello, Sweetie as well so I just added three coats of that on top of Melody Malone aka River Song for the second look.

Melody Malone aka River Song spreads nicely and evenly like the other LynBDesigns shown in this post, though I did have some striping on the first layer. It’s a gorgeous lilac full of golden sparkles, pretty and still something you might be able to pull off at work. Like River, there are hidden depths to it.

Hello, Sweetie by Nail Pattern Boldness is simply glorious! The translucent reddish purple base is filled with gold, black and red glitter and spreads beautifully. Nail Pattern Boldness is one of my favourite indies – Slow Invasion blew my mind and this isn’t far behind.

With matte topcoat

I'm not even going to get into the feels that I have about the last appearances of River Song. Nope. But the feels I have about these polishes are wonderful, so why don't we focus on that? (Feel free to let your feels run wild in the comments though.)
