Oh no lucysmam Not again :(
cardamom I think you may have found the cause of my problems - I use nail nurse base coat religiously, and conditioning hardeners, but never gave a thought to my remover! Turns out it's got next to nothing in it to protect the nail, and is stated to 'remove even the most stubborn nail varnish' so I'm assuming it's been stripping the goodness from the nail too. I'll change it pronto.
karbea those wedges and top will look amazing on you! You shouldn't have too much of a problem getting into town on the heels, they're pretty low but will probably feel a bit high to start with since you're used to flatties. I wear 2inch heels generally, and wore ballet pumps to work the other day. My calves went on strike and I ended up with cramp like aches for two days afterwards!
Hair has been washed and intensively conditioned, heat protected, l'oreal oiled, dried, straightened and is looking goooood! Will run the straighteners over them again tomorrow before going to the hair dresser, but to be honest I'm amazed at how lovely and straight the trim-line is from last time still. It's growing really quickly!
Two weeks and three days until B-day (braces day), I can't wait!
