NOTD - OPI Catch Me In Your Net

This is a beauty of a polish, when I heard the name I assumed it was part of the Pirates of The Caribbean collection as the colour looks like a shimmery mermaid tail. In fact it is from the Summer Flutter collection of 2010, inspired by butterflies.


This is a beautiful, foiled green with flecks of blue, green and turquoise shimmer. It absolutely dances in the light!



Application was a breeze, I used 3 thin coats as two left just a hint of Visible Nail Line (VNL) it dried super quickly as most shimmers do. I ruined the look a little by using Chip Skip before the last coat was dry and it caused drag lines and made the polish patchy tsk tsk!



Catch Me In Your Net is discontinued, as the collections sell out quite quickly unless they stay in the core range. But if you are lucky it can be found on ebay or a good dupe is Charla by Zoya http://www.lucyrose.biz/zoya-nail-polish-14ml---charla-4105-p.asp

So drum roll please....... my weigh in

Went to Weight Watchers yesterday, I knew I had lost and thought, being first week and all that it would be about 3-4lb.

So tentatively removed all my baggage, believe me when I say that if the sight of my in my scanties wouldn't cause me to kill the elderly in the class then I would be standing on those scales in my kecks! I was scared, always am, no matter how good or bad a week I have had I am scared. Witless! Although being a morning weigh in the shaking may have been more to do with a lack of food and of course my caffeine fix that I normally have 2 or 3 shots of before 9.30!

So there I was, standing on the scales and I nearly pass out, I look at the number and am in total disbelief, I don't think the babble that came out after made a blind bit of sense to the woman weighing me......

I was 16st 1.5lb, if you follow my blog you will know that last week I was 16st 8lb. So I lost 6.5lb, me, really now?!

As awful as this will sound, I am now petrified the scales were wrong and that next week I might show a gain as it was wrong this week. Silly eh, but having done all manner of diets, healthy eating plans, exercise plans etc I have lost more on this first week than I have ever done, even when I used to live on diet coke and little else.

But I guess time will tell, as long as I am super good this week then next week should see a result, maybe I will get my first silver 7!

Are any of you doing new years weight loss plans?
