Pick A Polish: Barry M - Blueberry

For Pick A Polish today I will be showing you Barry M - Blueberry. This is another one of their Gelly polishes which I love! This is one of my go to blues, so I have used it a fair amount before.

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Domestic Animals/Three Shades of Blue

Hello everyone. How are we all? 

Today I will be showing you this week's 52 Week Challenge which is domestic animals and three shades of blue. If you're a regular reader you will probably know what I am about to say... combining these themes was really hard! In the end I settled on following this tutorial and using three blues.

French Tip & Chevron.

Hi lovelies. It's FRIDAY!! I hope you all have lovely plans for the weekend :). 

I recently came across this awesome manicure by Doctor Crafty whilst browsing blogs and immediately fell in love! So as soon as I got a chance I recreated it on my own nails.

Matte Purple Dotticure

Hello lovelies. This is my final scheduled post, I'll be spending the day travelling home today so nothing very exciting.

I have a dotticure to show you today. I don't do them that often but I had the sudden urge to have dotty nails so these are what I ended up with!

Fashion Inspired: Grey, Pink and Black Colour Block

Hello my lovelies. This is a scheduled post as I am now away on my holidays in Rhodes for a week, but I have been painting away like a crazy person so there will still be plenty of posts around here (you can't get rid of me that easily).

I haven't done a fashion inspired post for a while, so I decided it was about time I did another one! I came across a pretty but simple jumper on the River Island website to use as my inspiration. I really want this jumper, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to spend £32 on it, imagine how many polishes I could get for that!

Moroccan Skyline.

Hi girlies. How is everyone? I have spent my Saturday so far doing lots of nail art, but hopefully I shall be going out to see the sun after I have posted this. 

I have another manicure inspired by someone else to show you today, maybe I should call this inspiration week as 3 out of my 5 posts have been copied from other people lol. Anyway, I tried to recreate this manicure by m_a_tom on instagram (initially I was going to enter it in a contest she was running but I missed the cut off date, oops!). This design reminded me of my trip to Morocco at the beginning of July so I thought I would give it a go and relive some Moroccan memories :).

Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge - Blue.

Provided for review*

Hello everyone. I am feeling very under the weather today, my boyfriend has had a cold lately and I think he has passed it onto me :(. On the upside I bought a new car yesterday which I shall be picking up tomorrow so I am quite excited.

The next theme for Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge is blue and that is what I am going to show you today. I was looking forward to this one as I love blue and I managed to use lots of lovely blues in this manicure. I also used some more of the Nail Stickrs* which I was sent a while back (I reviewed them here).

Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge - Geometric

Hi guys. I hope you're all well. I am glad I am home today and that it's almost the weekend :).

Today it's time for the next prompt in Life In Lacquers Nail Art Challenge which is geometric. I was a bit stumped with this theme so in the end I just googled geometric patterns and stumbled across this pattern. I thought it was a something a bit different so I decided to go for it and put it on my nails :).

Fingerfood's Theme Buffet - Patriotic

Hello loves. As this post goes live I will be on my first day in Morocco, hopefully soaking up the sun by the pool or on the beach :). My boyfriend has agreed to be in charge of my social media while I'm away so it should be business as usual here, I just won't be able to reply to comments etc until I get back.

Since I have taken a break from the Tri Polish Challenge I decided I wanted to get involved in another weekly challenge. After having a little scoot around the internet I decided to join in on Fingerfood's Theme Buffet which is a challenge I see a lot of bloggers do. This challenge has a weekly theme set as opposed to just colours so hopefully it will be better for inspiring me :). This week's prompt is patriotic.

Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge - Food

Hello lovelies. An early post from me today as I am off to the airport in a few hours and flying out to Morocco this evening yay! I still have posts scheduled for the blog though, so it won't be quiet around here and my boyfriend has even agreed to share my posts on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter while I'm away (thanks Richard!).

The lovely Jade of Life In Lacquer is hosting a nail art challenge through the month of July which I have decided to take part in. I am on holiday for the next week (I don't know if I have mentioned that much hehe), but I have managed to get myself way ahead on my blog posts so I can still take part, because I haven't done a one off challenge in a while. The first prompt is food, so that is what I will be showing you today.

Today I shall be showing you this week's Pick A Polish manicure. This week it was a pink Unnamed Color Club which was chosen. I got this in a french manicure set a while ago and it's sat in my helmer since then.. I'm not really much of a french manicure person.

Matte Flakie Yumminess with Color Club - The Uptown

Hi everyone. Happy Friday! I am very glad it's the weekend, I have been struggling with my early mornings this week!

I recently snapped up a bottle of Color Club - The Uptown from a Facebook sale group as I have wanted that polish since it was first released. I don't own many flakie polishes so I was very excited to play with this when it arrived. I saw a picture of someone on instagram (for the life of me I cannot remember who it was) who had mattified their flakies which just blew me away.. so I got my matte topcoat straight out and got to work :).

Isn't it a beauty?! Read on after the jump for more.
