As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Manicure Monday ~ Multi colours

20140621-092249-33769669.jpg
Hi there welcome to my Manicure Monday post, as you can see I went a bit gaga and painted my fingers with different colours! This is what happens when you can’t choose which nail colour to use when testing your new “nailgirls” 3-in-1 base|topcoat|strengthener polish. As you may or may not know I am reviewing this nailgirls as part of my June Glossybox. Those who are regulars in these parts will know last month or month before I got nail girls fairy pink nail polish from my love me beauty box. Anyway, back to the post, the nail polishes am wearing have all been once upon a time featured on manicure monday posts before. The nail colours and posts are as followings:

NYX|Sally Hansen|Nail Girls|Gabrini|Extra Manicure|

I am seriously enjoying doing my own nails, though they may not be perfect immediately after application I try to clean them up to look a little bit presentable. As I have mentioned previously, I will not spend £25 just to get my nails done especially now with Poundland and beauty boxes stocking them up real nicely and cheaply if I do say so myself.

The fact that summer has started (British version – 4 seasons 1 day), I feel it’s even more paramount to have both hand and feet nails done in as summery nail polish as possible. It doesn’t always have to be all floral or bright it could be whatever you fancy and since I felt like wearing all the nail polishes I have in my box and am coveting I tried them all and so far it’s been great (except for the double takes people are doing).

    What beautiful colors! I also like to mix up my nail colors when I give myself manicures. It looks much more interesting that way.

    • Betsy Gettis says

      June 24, 2014 at 4:45 pm

      I think that’s what I’d call it! I mean, in interior decorating, monochromatic means using one color and just different shades, so I think that could apply to nails as well!
