Copycat Saturday - Tribal Triangles.

Hi everyone. It's the weekend! I hope you're all having a good one so far. I've had a fairly productive day so far which makes a change haha!

So it's time for Copycat Saturday, this week I went with a design that I have been meaning to recreate for ages! The design in question is this gorgeous tribal manicure by The Lacquerologist. This manicure has always stuck in my head since she posted it about 6 months ago.. I like how it is quite simple compared to most tribal designs, but it is still very striking :).

Pick A Polish: Barry M - 2013 Limited Edition A

Hi loves. I hope you are all okay. I am really really tired today, roll on Saturday so I can have a lie in!

Sadly it is only Monday so my lie in is quite far away, but it does mean that it's time for Pick A Polish. This week it is featuring Barry M - Limited Edition A which was one of Barry M's 2013 summer limited edition polishes, with a very exciting name!

Hello everyone. How are you all? I'm trying to catch up on blog posts today, what with my new job and everything that I've had going on lately my nails have taken a bit of a back seat.. but I am determined to keep up with my current posting schedule!

So for this week's Copycat Saturday post I decided to recreate this design by Raggio Di Luna Nails. If you don't already follow this girl, go check her out she does some flawless nail art!

Week Of Love Valentines Challenge - Hearts.

Hello loves. How are you all? A bit of a late post from me today since I have been super busy.

Its day four of the Week Of Love and today's theme is hearts. I took to the internet to search for inspiration for this design and came across this picture which I thought was rather cute.

Week Of Love Valentines Nail Art Challenge - Roses

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well. I nearly forgot to post this today, I got carried away swatching and suddenly remembered I hadn't published this.. but luckily I remembered :).

We are half way through the Week Of Love and today's theme is roses. I haven't done a rose manicure in ages so I was really excited to have another go at them.

Copycat Saturday: Black and White Triangle Print

Hi lovelies. It's the weekend! I have just finished work so I am going to relax for the afternoon before going out for a meal this evening :).

Today I have another Copycat Saturday manicure to show you. This week I recreated this pin which was by Pshiiit but the pin doesn't refer back to the correct post. I have been going from the bottom of my inspiration board for these posts and it seems I wasn't very careful with what I was pinning when I first got pinterest.. quite a few of them don't link back to the creator properly, but I shall try my best to credit the correct people.

Inspired By A Vase.

Hello everyone. Are you all having a good day? I am having a nice relaxing day off work :).

I was recently browsing Pinterest and came across a picture of a really interesting vase. I loved the shape and design so decided to do a version of it on my nails. I thought I had pinned the picture, but clearly not and now I can't find it.. I swear I am the most forgetful person ever!

Also I had a mad moment and chopped my nails off, I'm not sure if I prefer them a bit shorter or not.

February Tri Polish Challenge: Brown, Pink and Grey.

Hello lovelies. How are you all? Another morning post from me today, it feels strange that I'm being a bit organised!

I'm back with the first instalment of the Tri Polish Challenge for February, this month the three colours are brown, pink and grey. When I first saw these I wondered whether I would be able to make them work together, they sounded like an odd combination.. but so far I think I have done okay.


The three colours I chose today are China Glaze - Ingrid, Barielle - U-Concrete-Me and OPI - Suzi's Hungary Again.

Diamond Print Nails

Hello everyone. How are you all? 

Recently I was browsing the internet looking at clothes that I can't afford (which I do way too often) and I came across this little number. I'm not sure I could ever pull that dress off, but I thought it looked pretty cool so decided to try and put it on my nails instead.

January Tri Polish Challenge: Red, Yellow and Orange

Hi everyone. I hope everyone's week is going well so far. I have a day off tomorrow which I am looking forward to (as always).

Today I am back with the third instalment of the January theme for the Tri Polish Challenge. I have really enjoyed participating in this challenge so far.


I went with the same three colours as the other two designs as I did, so I may just stick with these 3 for the whole month. The red is China Glaze - Hey Sailor, the orange is Essie - Fear or Desire and the yellow is Nicole by OPI - Hit The Lights.

Pick A Polish: China Glaze - Life Is Rosy.

Hello lovelies. How are you all? I have had a looong day today and I am glad its over.

It's time for Pick A Polish. This week I chose China Glaze - Life Is Rosy... another pink! I do have a lot of pinks, but I feel like random.org is biased towards the pinks in my stash.. I'm sure I will eventually run out of them and show you some different colours I own.


I am starting to run out of pink nail art ideas though lol.

Abstract Floral Print.

Hi everyone. How was your day? Mine was busy and I still have lots to do, I'm glad I wrote this post up in advance!

Today I have another random manicure to show you all. I saw a top whilst I was out with a print like this on, so I decided to put it on my nails. I'm not sure if it is meant to be, but it reminds me of flowers, so that is what I am going with.

Copycat Saturday: Nude Leopard Print

Hi loves. It's the weekend! I hope you all have nice plans. I am feeling ill (again!) so I think I will be resting, I keep getting ill lately.

I am back today with this weeks Copycat Saturday post. I was inspired by this pin.. unfortunately the pin doesn't link back to the original creator and the picture doesn't have a watermark. But if anyone does know who originally did these nails please let me know so I can credit them properly.

January Tri Polish Challenge: Red, Yellow and Orange.

Hello everyone. I hope you all had good days, mine was long!

For the new year I wanted to join a challenge or something similar for my blog, since I enjoyed the 12 Days Of Christmas Challenge so much. I recently joined Crumpet's Nail Tarts group on Facebook and saw a post on there about the Tri Polish Challenge themes for the new year so I decided to give that a go. For those of you who may not be aware of what this challenge entails, there are 3 colours set each month for the challenge. You then have to create a manicure each week using those set colours.


For January the theme is red, orange and yellow. I have chosen to use China Glaze - Hey Sailor, Essie - Fear Or Desire and Nicole by OPI - Hit The Lights.
