<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone! Long time no see! I must apologise for being such a terrible blogger, life has completely got on top of me and I have barely had the time or energy to even do my nails recently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However I did receive four lovely polishes for review from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FrecklesPolish" target="_blank">Freckles Polish</a>, including my very own collaboration polish which I am very excited about - so I just had to blog about them. I have two polishes from The Collaboration Collection (including my own) and two polishes from The Birthday Party Collection to show you, which are celebrating one wonderful year of Freckles Polish!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First up we have my collaboration polish named <b>Spearmint</b>, which is a white crelly base filled with turquoise and gold glitters. I was so excited when I was asked to create a polish to celebrate Freckles Polish turning one - it really is an honour. I didn't have any particular inspiration behind this polish, I just liked the combination of the colours together. My swatch shows three coats with topcoat, but with careful application you could probably get away with two. Obviously I am completely biased when it comes to this polish, but I love it and it's exactly how I imagined it in my head. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second collaboration polish I have to show you is <b>Cinderhellie Wishes</b>,<b> </b>which was designed by Helen who was one of three winners of a competition to come up with a polish for this collection. This is a light blue holographic base with purple blue and silver glitters. This swatch shows three easy coats with topcoat. I quite like how the glitters in this polish are fairly sparse, I think it gives it a softer feel than if it was jam packed full of glitter. This one has a really girly, spring like feel to it which is perfect for the current season. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First is <b>Pass the Parcel </b>which is a light purple holographic polish. This is a really beautiful and delicate colour, and the holo is quite subtle too which I think matches it well. A really strong holographic effect probably would have overwhelmed this gorgeous colour. It was a little on the sheer side but built up well - my swatches show three coats with topcoat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we have <b>Dancing Queen</b> which is a really cute spring green holo. This one has a slightly stronger holo effect than Pass the Parcel, but it is still fairly subtle. The formula was similar on this one too - a little on the sheer side but built up nicely by the third coat. This one is another gorgeous colour for spring.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've managed to get together something for this week's 52 Week Challenge today, and I've combined it with a review for plate <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/kaleidoscope-designs-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-l004-65cm-p-17922.html" target="_blank">BP-L004</a> from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a>. The themes this week are geometric and blue, yellow and green. I knew immediately when I saw this plate that I would be using it for this, as it has some lovely geometric images. I decided to leave out the yellow and green in the end and just went for a blue manicure. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This plate has tonnes of images in a variety of styles - I'm sure there will be something everyone likes on here. On the whole they stamped well, I did have some issues with a couple of images not transferring the first time but the experience was mostly positive. The images were slightly too small for my thumb nail though, so if you have really long nails these images won't cover your nails in one go. I think I will get a lot of use out of this plate, there are some great designs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello loves. So I've been a very bad blogger lately! I apologise for being so absent, I've had a lot going on at home and my nails have taken a bit of a back seat. I'm hoping to slowly ease myself back into things, but I'm not going to pressure myself to post too much at the moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, I have managed to put together a Pick A Polish for you today and this week I will be showing you <b>China Glaze - Mimosas Before Manis</b>. I've had this polish since it was first released, but I haven't had a whole lot of use out of it to be honest. It is lovely though so I was glad to give it another go. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Mimosas Before Manis </b>is a peachy toned orange shade, it does have a slight gold shimmer to it but that isn't really visible in my photos. The formula was pretty good, I believe this was two coats with topcoat (although I can't be sure as I didn't write it down) so no complaints there. This really is a gorgeous colour, it's a lovely shade for spring. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello lovely ladies. It's the weekend!!! I'm off out with the girls tonight which I am looking forward to :). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm a bit late with this week's 52 Week Challenge, I usually post them on a Tuesday but I'm just sneaking it in before the deadline! I have to admit I struggled with this theme, I did three different manicures before I had one I was happy with - hence why I'm a bit late. In the end though, I was very happy with the outcome. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first I was trying to incorporate a non glitter topper into my fishbraid, but that really wasn't working so I just opted for a normal fishbraid in the end. The colours I used were <b>OPI - Love.Angel.Music.Baby</b>, <b>OPI - Do You Have This Colour In Stockholm </b>and <b>Avon - Coral Reef</b>. I just used the brushes from the bottle to paint on my stripes. These did end up quite thick unfortunately, due to using so many layers of polish. So they took forever to dry even with fast dry topcoat! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For today's blog post I have this week's Pick A Polish to show you, featuring one of my newest additions to my stash, which I was very excited to try! The polish in question is <b>ILNP - Electric Carnival </b>which is one of their new ultra chrome flakies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this polish, it's so gorgeous! I'm not really loving the nail art though, it totally didn't come out anything like the original design I copied! I think it's a mix of my chevron vinyls and my nails being the wrong size for it to work properly. So I sorta wish I had just swatched it, but never mind!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello lovely people! I hope you all have wonderful weekend's planned. I'm off out with the girls tonight which I am looking forward to!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I have some exciting new polishes from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/frecklespolish" target="_blank">Freckles Polish</a> to show you. Freckles Polish has to be one of my all time favourite indie brands - I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a polish by this brand - so I nearly peed with excitement when I was asked if I would like to swatch some of their new releases (a nice image, I know). There will be two brand spanking new collections released on 30th January and I have two polishes from each, plus a matte topcoat to show you. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first two polishes I'm going to be showing you are from <b>The Coven Collection</b>, which is a holographic collection based on the tv show American Horror Story. I've never watched American Horror Story so I can't exactly appreciate the inspiration behind these two, but they are beautiful all the same! Both of these swatches are without topcoat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First we have <b>Robichoux's Academy </b>which is a gorgeous soft grey holo. The holo is pretty subtle on this one, but I think that works quite well with this polish. I was expecting this to be a three coater since it's quite a light colour, but to my surprise I reached full opacity in two coats which I was really impressed with. The formula was a dream to work with, I cannot fault it at all. I have a bit of a soft spot for grey polish and this is no exception - I absolutely love it! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one is called <b>The Seven Wonders </b>and I am going to have to describe it as a blurple. It goes from blue to purple depending on the lighting. The holographic effect is much stronger on this one than Robichoux's Academy. This swatch shows two coats, but it was so nearly a one coater! Again, the formula was perfection - I always love the formula of Freckles Polish holos. Another gorgeous colour. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next two polishes are from the the <b>Love Me, Love Me Not </b>collection which is a limited edition collection for Valentines day. The idea behind this one is that Valentines day isn't just for loved up couples - so these aren't your average cutesy pinks and reds you often get in Valentines collections. Both of these swatches are with topcoat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First we have <b>Crazy Kinda Love </b>which is a bright pinky/purple jelly filled with blue glitters and some holo sparkle. This swatch shows two coats, it built to opacity really easily. This one had a really nice consistency - it applied easily and the glitters distributed themselves well. No moving the glitters around on your nail with this one! It did dry to a slightly matte finish, so I would recommend a nice shiny topcoat to really make this one pop. I don't own another polish even remotely close to this one - it's really unique and beautiful! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other polish I have from this collection is <b>Tainted Love </b>which is a bit of a chameleon! It has a blackened purple base and contains lots of lovely brown and gold flakies. In some lights the base looks black, in others purple and when the light hits it the brown and gold flakiness really pops. I took so many photos of this one and completely failed at capturing it's true beauty on camera - so you'll just have to take my word that this one is a real stunner. My swatches show three coats, although if you're not going to be taking close up photos of your nails you could easily get away with two. At risk of sounding like a broken record here - the formula was amazing and I cannot fault it at all!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally I was sent a matte topcoat, which is going to be released at the same time as both of these collections. I used two coats of <b>Freckles Polish - Glitter Like A Gemini </b>(which I swatched <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/freckles-polish-swatches.html" target="_blank">here</a>) over <b>Robichoux's Academy </b>and topped it with the matte topcoat. I have been needing to find a replacement matte topcoat as my current Rimmel one I use seems to have been discontinued - I think I may have found the solution here. This gives your polish a properly matte finish (not a rubbery one like some do) and the dry time is pretty good too - which is important for me as I can't whack on my fast dry topcoat when I want matte! What more can you ask for in a matte topcoat?! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well I think the lovely Julieann (owner and creator of Freckles Polish) has really hit it out of the park with these polishes! I really cannot think of anything bad to say about them - I would recommend every single one of them. I think my favourite has to be <b>Robichoux's Academy </b>though. I am definitely going to be checking out the rest of these collections when they are released. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone. It's nearly Friday! I am quite looking forward to my weekend now :). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week for A2Z we had a choice between 'kitchen sink' and 'kitschy'... I decided to go for kitschy on this one. I'm not 100% sure I've quite got kitschy down to a tee, but I tried! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to go for some polka dots and roses, because that is sort of kitschy right?! At least I think it is. My base colour is <b>Essie - In The Cabana </b>and my dots are <b>Barry M - Damson</b>. I freehanded on my roses using <b>Barry M - Bikini</b>, <b>Rimmel - Pink of Me</b>, <b>Models Own - Lilac Sheen </b>and <b>Sinful Colors - Snow Me White</b>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week for the 52 Week Challenge the themes are fire and three shades of green/yellow. I skipped the green part this week, but I've managed to incorporate the fire and I've used three different yellows.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to try out a drag marble, using fire inspired colours. My base is <b>W7 - Black </b>and I blobbed on <b>China Glaze - Hey Sailor</b>, <b>Sally Hansen - Fiery Island</b>, <b>China Glaze - Metro Pollen-tin</b>, <b>Nicole by OPI - Hit The Lights </b>and <b>Avon - Lemon Sugar</b>. Whilst everything was still wet I swirled the colours together to make my marble using a toothpick. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week for Pick A Polish I'll be showing you <b>Zoya - Margo</b>. This is a fairly recent addition to my stash, and I have used it a few times since I've bought it. It is a lovely autumn/winter colour so I'm going to make the most of it before before spring. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Margo </b>is a dark maroon-y purple. My swatch shows two coats without topcoat. I do find the formula a little bit thick on this polish - it's nothing terrible but personally I prefer my polish to be slightly thinner than this. It does dry to a lovely high shine, even without topcoat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello loves. Sorry I have been a bit absent this week - I've had a lot going on at home lately and my nails/blog have been the last thing on my mind quite honestly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did however manage to get this week's A2Z manicure done - even if it is a couple of days late. This week we're on J which is for jewel. I was torn between doing a manicure using jewel toned colours, or just covering my nails in rhinestones (since they're close enough to jewels right?!). In the end I settled on the rhinestone option, as I felt like something a bit over the top!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my base I used <b>OPI - Don't Bossa Nova Me Around</b> but I taped off the bottom portion of my nail to leave that bare. I then just went and stuck a load of rhinestones on my nails (I bought these ones from Born Pretty Store). I only used topcoat to secure my rhinestones and they lasted me three days - which I was pretty impressed with. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week for the 52 Week Challenge the themes are film and holo. This is the first week in this challenge that I haven't combined both of the themes... I have to be quite honest I don't watch that many films so I always struggle when film themes come up in challenges. But the beauty of this challenge is that it is flexible, so I just went for the holo side of things. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Pick A Polish this week I'll be showing you <b>Models Own - Ibiza Mix</b>. This was one of my first ever glitters, which I bought when I was first starting to get into nails. So this one has had a fair bit of use in the past, but has been neglected recently... until today!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've kind of cheated a bit this week and just done a glitter gradient, as opposed to the swatch and the nail art that I normally do. But I thought the glitter gradient was pretty so I left it at that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ibiza Mix </b>is a glitter topper in a clear base, with lots of multi coloured glitter hexes of different sizes. I quite like that the colours are a bit muted in this topper, it makes it a bit more wearable than if they were really bright glitters (although that wouldn't stop me wearing it anyway). I sponged on the glitter for this gradient, but I seem to remember you can get fairly decent coverage with one coat of this glitter as a topper. I have used it over <b>Barry M - Pearl</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started off by doing a gradient using <b>Barry M - Greenberry</b>, <b>Girly Bits - Mint To Be </b>and <b>Avon - Aqua Fantasy</b>. In hindsight, I should have used different colours. I'm not actually sure anyone could tell I had done the gradient! I then did a glitter gradient using <b>Sally Hansen - Gilded Lily</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Cherry Blossom </b>is a light pink crelly with a mix of white, gold and bronze glitters. My swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat. The formula on this is good, it applies very smoothly and the distribution of the glitters is excellent. The only slight issue is that it dries a bit gritty, so it needs a nice thick topcoat to smooth it out. This is a lovely clean and wearable colour, but still with a bit of interest from the glitters. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to take inspiration from the name of this polish and do some cherry blossom inspired nail art. Over <b>Cherry Blossom </b>I painted my branches using <b>W7 - Black</b>. I then applied my dots using <b>Barry M - Miami</b>, <b>OPI - Sparrow Me The Drama</b>, <b>Sinful Colors - Snow Me White </b>and <b>OPI - Love.Angel.Music.Baby</b>. I know gold isn't traditionally a cherry blossom colour, but I just wanted some gold in it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Provided for review*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone. Happy Saturday! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have my final review for <a href="http://moyounails.com/" target="_blank">MoYou Nails</a> to show you today. It feel's like I've been reviewing these plates forever haha - but I have really enjoyed trying them all. I would definitely vouch for the quality of their plates, I haven't really had many issues with them. So the final plate I have to show you is <a href="http://moyounails.com/shop/plate-115/" target="_blank">plate 115</a> and to be quite honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to use this. Hence why I left it to last! However once I got going, I really liked it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://moyounails.com/shop/plate-115/" target="_blank">Plate 115</a> is a plate full of inspiring words, I really like the fact that they have done a few words bigger than others. These all stamped well, I had to redo faith here but that was completely user error... not to do with the plate! This isn't my usual style, but I do like to challenge myself my nail art which is why I chose these to review. I think you could make some really lovely nail art out of these.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My base colour is <b>Barry M - Bikini </b>and I added on some <b>Sinful Colors - Snow Me White </b>using the distressed technique. I then stamped my words using <b>Konad - Dark Blue</b>. These sort of remind me of warm blue skies with some wispy little clouds, which I think fits quite well with the mood of these words (even if it wasn't my intention to do that!). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I had a lovely time with friends celebrating the new year last night, but I am starting 2015 feeling rather worse for wear haha! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As promised I have a round up of my personal favourite posts from 2014 (I did my most popular posts yesterday which you can see <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/2014-round-up-your-favourites.html" target="_blank">here</a>). At first I was going to show you five, then it grew to ten... and it ended up at thirteen because I am so bloody indecisive! But a few extra pictures of nails never hurt anyone right?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first favourite from way back in January are these <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/january-tri-polish-challenge-red-yellow_28.html" target="_blank">fire lion</a> nails. This was one of those rare occasions where a crazy idea you have in your head actually works! This is still my boyfriend's favourite to this day. </span></div>

There is nothing unique or special about these, but you can't go wrong with a classic red rose for Valentines day in my opinion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My next pick is this <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/copycat-saturday-tribal-triangles.html" target="_blank">tribal nail art</a> I did in March. I think the main reason I like these is because I was proud that I freehanded the triangular edge thingys (technical term). I was expecting it to be a hot mess, but I actually ended up loving them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please excuse the scarily long nails and nubby little thumb nail in this photo! I much prefer my nails shorter now. Aside from the length of my nails here now freaking me out, I think my <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/easter-daffodils.html" target="_blank">Easter daffodils</a> from April are quite good. I feel like I used to do much more detailed freehand nail art than I do now, I need to change that! </span></div>

I don't love them quite as much as my pink ones above, but they are definitely still up there in my favourites! Lets face it, I do love anything with flowers on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also loved these <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/lightning-storm-nails.html" target="_blank">lightening storm nails</a> I did in July. All the brights colours of summer (as much as I love them) can get a bit much, so this was a nice breather from the brights and the neons - I love the moody purple tones in these. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did this <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/moroccan-skyline.html" target="_blank">Moroccan skyline</a> back in August as a way of reliving my trip to Morocco in July. I love this manicure as it reminds me of my holiday, but I also like the yellow and blue for the background as opposed to the usual yellow and orange you often see.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only stamping manicure that has made the cut this year is <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/born-pretty-store-review-stamping-plate.html" target="_blank">this one</a> which I did in September when reviewing a plate for Born Pretty Store. I think this is a combination of loving the colours, the image stamping so well and the fact that I am a flower nut which makes this a winner for me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In October I did these <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/red-and-black-ruffian-with-rhinestones.html" target="_blank">red and black ruffians</a> which I unexpectedly fell in love with. Red and black is a colour scheme I am often wary of, I worry it can make me look a bit gothic (which isn't always a bad thing to be fair). But I think I hit the red and black jackpot with these.. I didn't want to take them off! I think the rhinestones may have helped a little. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we have my <a href="http://vickylovesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/christmas-watermarble.html" target="_blank">Christmas watermarble</a> which I did in early December. In case you haven't heard, I have been on a bit of watermarbling spree lately. I am determined to master the technique as it's one I have always struggled with the most. This has to be my favourite one to date - okay it's not technically perfect, but I kind of like how some of the colours have merged together a bit and it's my best try yet!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So those are my favourites for 2014... lets see what nail art 2015 brings! I have had a bit of blogger burn out towards the end of this year - so I may be taking the blog in a bit of a different direction for 2015. I've ended up posting 6 days a week sometimes, and alongside a full time job that is very had to keep up with - I've felt a bit like a machine churning out blog posts! So my blogging new years resolutions are to focus on quality, not quantity, to enjoy my nail art and not put too much pressure on myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone that takes the time to read my little blog, without all your lovely comments this would be much less rewarding!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope everyone had an amazing new year, here's to 2015! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone. I can't believe it's New Years Eve already, where the hell has 2014 gone?! I'm off to a friends tonight to see the new year in, I hope you all have lovely things planned too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So as this year is coming to a close, I thought I would do a little round up of what has happened on Vicky Loves Nails in 2014. Today I will be going through some of my most popular posts, and tomorrow I'm going to be showing you my personal favourites. I have posted 268 posts this year (including this one) so I had plenty of posts to go through! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi lovelies. How are you all? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The themes for this week's 52 Week Challenge are dots and three shades of purple. I love dots and I love purple, so I had an idea of what this manicure would turn out like in my head for a while. But when it came to sitting down and doing it, I felt like doing a watermarble - so I changed all my plans and I ended up with something completely different (living life on the edge, I know!). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started by painting all my nails white using <b>Sinful Colors - Snow Me White</b>. Over this I did my watermarble using <b>Revlon - Calla Lily</b>, <b>Sally Hansen - Perfect Plum </b>and <b>OPI - Diva of Geneva </b>(at least I think that is what it's called as my bottle doesn't have a label). I added in a few dots using <b>OPI - You're Such A Budapest</b>. These (unintentionally) turned out like upside down flames, which I thought was quite cool. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello my loves. How is everyone? I went sales shopping today and I didn't buy any nail polish, I think there might be something wrong with me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's time for this week's Pick A Polish, this time in the form of <b>Avon - Midnight Green</b>. This is an older polish in my stash that I do tend to neglect, but boy is it pretty!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Midnight Green </b>is a dark forest green, with a lovely shimmer to it. My swatch shows two coats without topcoat. I can't complain about the formula, it was a little patchy on the first coat but evens out perfectly with the second. This kind of colour is always a surprise favourite for me - I won't often wear a dark green out of choice but when I do put it on I always love it! </span></div>

I changed up the swirls a bit and only did them on my ring finger for my version - but it's still very similar. Alongside <b>Midnight Green </b>I used <b>piCture pOlish - Tail Feather </b>on my ring finger and half of my middle finger. My swirls were done using <b>Midnight Green </b>and I added some studs down the middle of my middle finger. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't often do skittlette style manicures like this, my brain seems to find it hard to put together combinations that I like. But since I copied someone else here I really like these :P. I don't know if Avon still make this polish as I've had it quite a while, but it's definitely worth snapping up if you do ever come across it - it's such a gorgeous green!</span></div>

This is more of a summery style plate in my opinion, but it still has some lovely images.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://moyounails.com/shop/plate-126/" target="_blank">Plate 126</a> has four full nail images, and one smaller individual sun image. Like I said, these images do remind me of summer and I think you could make some great holiday manicures out of these. All of the images stamped well, I had no issues with the quality of the plate at all. I am in love with the palm tree and dolphin image... definitely going to be using that in the summer!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Flip Flop </b>is a neon acid green creme from Models Own's Polish For Tans collection they released this summer. My camera could not handle this colour at all, the colour is slightly greener in real life. My swatch shows three coats with topcoat, it does dry slightly matte on it's own. This isn't the easiest polish to work with, but I have come to expect that from this kind of colour. The formula is quite thick and it streaks a little, but providing you are careful with the application it evens out nicely by the third coat. This colour is seriously bright, it isn't a polish for the faint hearted!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really wanted to do a watermarble, but there was no way that Flip Flop would work in a watermarble - it's much too thick. So I decided to do a watermarble with <b>Sinful Colors - Snow Me White </b>and <b>Dream - Strengthening Base Coat </b>(the only clear polish I own that I could get to marble). That way I could see Flip Flop through the clear polish!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was really happy with how these came out, I am slowly but surely starting to find watermarbling easier. Even though they would be more suited to summer, they definitely lit up the winter for a bit for me!</span></div>
