Weekly nail: Green

Here's a little nail look I did using Rimmel Lasting Finish Misty Jade, Rimmel 60 seconds Sky High and Ulta3 Mermaid Green. It seems Misty Jade is getting quite old and is running out - it's so gluggy and I'm finding it hard getting enough polish on my brush to get decent coverage. I haven't actually used Mermaid Green before, it's such a lovely colour I think I should get it out more. I still can't seem to get the hang of manicure guide stickers, no matter how much I use them I always end up with uneven lines and texture. This wasn't my favourite guide either but I couldn't find the ones I wanted to use. I'm going to try using guide stickers more often so I can really get the hang of them.

This past week has been really great. I flew up to Brisbane on Wednesday evening with my boyfriend and another friend. We stayed on the 24th (top) floor, overlooking some of the city, which the boys enjoyed but I really didn't (I'm a little scared of heights. The flight wasn't fun either.) On Thursday it was meant to thunderstorm so we decided to hit up Wet'n'Wild instead of Movieworld like we had originally planned. Turned out to be a good move because it was practically empty! I think the longest we waited was about 20 minutes. When we got in, we went straight on the newest slide - the Aqua Loop (which has a huge almost free-fall, then a loop-de-loop) before I could realise how scary it actually was. I seriously have no words! We went on almost every ride twice, and almost went on the aqua loop again, but I chickened out and had to do the walk of shame down the stairs. No regrets.

We found a really nice pub (Criterion for anyone is interested) which had great (cheap) food and even cheaper beers. Friday was spent shopping and walking around the city with an early night ready for breakfast with some friends in the Valley before Soundwave on Saturday! It was incredible and not as big as I expected, Grooving the Moo being the biggest festival I've been to. Blink were just as amazing as I expected and I managed to stay close to the front, even though it got me covered in sweat (tmi?). I also saw Paramore, All Time Low, a bit of Sum 41 and The Offspring, Bullet for my Valentine, and possibly my favourite for the day Motion City Soundtrack.
I think it got me even more excited to go to England, if that's even possible, because I hadn't been on a holiday in a really long time.
