I know I've been AWOL lately, but I have a perfectly good excuse :D

But first onto the nail polish.

For the last month or so, my nails have been so brittle and terrible I had to cut them off. I started to use essence ultra strong nail hardener, and I must say I'm very happy with the result. I don't believe it helped my nails permanently, but I managed to grow them to decent length. I now use it as a base coat as it keeps my nails from breaking.

My second problem is that my hands and cuticles are terribly dry. As I have a puppy, I have to wash my hands a million times a day and I haven't found a good hand cream that will live up to expectations.

Any suggestions?

If you are still with me, I want to show you essence Once Upon a Time :)
I know I featured it before, but I was in the mood for a beautiful red nail polish. I always feel so pretty and elegant wearing this one.

(please excuse my terrible cuticles, I need to buy a moisturizing hand cream asap)



And now for the excuse :D

I started playing Dragon Age 2, and I'm loving it!!!
I love the changes ( Mass Effect-like dialogue wheel, PC voice acting, better gameplay, less complicated inventory), but I also feel that gameplay  it's somewhat simplified. It's also a bit boring that they used the same layout for every dungeon and mansion there is. And you're mostly stuck in Kirkwall. Which isn't all that bad, but I hope it wont end up like in the Fable III where it goes from awesome fun-packed adventure to management game where you have to collect enough coin and everything will end well.

Here are a few screenshots from the game:

You can encounter huuuge spiders, but Hawke is a natural pesticide :D


There are dragons, too (it IS called Dragon Age, after all :D )
They are a piece of cake for mighty Hawke and her loyal company :D




Are you into games? Do you like fantasy and dragons?
I love it :)
