BURGERS & NAILS!!!

Every since my friend Jess Love put me on to the great Tumblr Burgers & Nails I have wanted to get involved. But I rarely eat burgers these days so I just adored from afar...

Then I found myself with my 2 year old daughter in an urban orchard in Perth after watching mermaids cavort in a giant tank needing to fulfil a promise of burgers for dinner. JACKPOT!! About half way through my delicious Wagyu burger I remembered BURGERS & NAILS!! So I took a photo and had uploaded my submission within the hour.

Then I forgot all about it until a friend asked if I ever submitted a post and I checked the Tumblr and THERE I WAS!! I cannot believe how ridiculously excited I am about this. Go with me... If you are reading this you like nails. And I can only assume you love burgers (who doesn't). So go ahead, get a big fat juicy burger (hell, mushroom burger if you are a vegivore) and GET IT ON!!

Show Nails

So my tour of my show ALCHEMY was due to start in Perth at Fringeworld so I wanted to paint the perfect show nails. They had to be right classy and have an element of gold. I went for full gold when I did the show in Edinburgh but I wanted to get a little jiggy with it this season.

So I out it out to the lords of Twitter and Facebook and gave everyone these options:

I used Chi Chi Blood drops with some gold nail decals I bought in the UK (& threw away the cover so I have no idea of the name but they aren't very good anyway so, meh...). It is a great way to use decals as you only use about half a pack (less if only tips). You just cut to shape and stick on, slap a top coat on and you're done!

This seemed to be the winner and look how lovely they look with my subtle glitter shoes in the background!

Gold flakes on pastels

While watching 'Genova' on ABC tonight (even with Colin Firth being lovely this was a very unsatisfying movie) I painted my nails in my current favourite ice cream pastels and popped some gold flakes on (craft foil cut into scraps). They are catching the light a bit weirdly here but I reckon they look pretty summertastic & I bet all the mums at the playground tomorrow will be totes jealz. Or something...

I also painted my thumb nail with an Aztec design but it was a bit shoddy. Firstly because it was a bit dark & secondly, even though I waited ages the black ran when I put the top coat on. Devo.



Merry Christmas y'all!!

Btw did anyone see my lovely Christmas nails on tv (Carols in the Domain?) I should have asked the director to do a close up... Next time! X

Ladies Night

I had a night on my own so I went to my friend Lizzie's house, drank a lot of white wine and painted my nails for her amusement. I was pretty happy with them...

Flash Gordon on Holiday in St Tropez

Wendy from Edinburgh

I am a singer so my nail get seen quite a lot and I like them to look pimping. My favourite nail guru is in Edinburgh. Her name is Wendy and she has a salon in a hair salon there (Neil Barton Hair). She does my nails every year when I am in Edinburgh doing the Fringe Festival and she always comes to my show and at some point heckles me about my nails so that I have to mention her and make the audience give her love.

Here she is:

(she has purple hair and is divine)

Here are the first gel nails she did for me:

This photo was on the front page of the Scotsman and her dad was so proud he had it laminated. Go Dads!

And here are the Golden nails she did for my most recent show ALCHEMY:

I added a little 'Louboutin' red on the underside. No one could see it but I knew it was there so I felt totes classy.

And if you are wondering If I look like that all the time. I don't. It takes hours and bags full of MAC to make me look anything like the drag queen you see before you...
