52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge - Distressed/Grey

Hi everyone. How are we all? 

I've got another 52 Week Challenge post for you today, this week the themes are distressed and grey. I probably could have been more creative with this theme, but I decided just to do exactly what the theme says - grey, distressed nails.

Hello everyone. Happy Saturday! I had a lovely birthday yesterday, but I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night so I'm having a bit of a lazy day today :). Don't forget if you haven't already entered my giveaway it ends at midnight tonight, you can enter here.

Today I have a review for plate 111 from MoYou Nails to show you. This was one of the plates I was less sure I would like before I tried it, but it surprised me and I actually really love the manicure I came up with!

I have another review for MoYou Nails to show you today, this time for plate 117. This plate has all french tip images, in a variety of patterns and designs.

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: 80s & Three Dark Colours

Hi loves. Happy hump day! 

I've got this week's 52 Week Challenge post for you today. I usually post these on a Thursday, but I'm juggling my schedule around a bit as I'm starting a new challenge tomorrow. Anyway, the themes this week are 80s and three dark colours. I think I have said this almost every week in this challenge... but combining the themes is so hard! I definitely do not think of dark colours when I think 80s, so it took a while to for me to think up something suitable. I'm still determined to combine the themes each week though, I am stubborn like that!

Grey and Green Splodge

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is well. My day was going okay until about half an hour ago when I reversed my car into a kerb, now my exhaust is hanging off! That is definitely not what I needed lol. 

I have an attempt at another Halloween manicure to show you today. I say an attempt as it totally didn't work out, but as it's for Halloween I think I can just about get away with this. I'm good at selling myself aren't I? :P

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge - 70s/ Grey and Colour

Hi loves. How are we all? It's nearly Friday and I am very much looking forward to the weekend!

The two themes for the 52 Week Challenge this week are 70s and grey and colour. At first I was a bit stumped as to how to combine these two themes together... I generally think of bright and garish colours when I think of the 1970s and definitely not grey. In the end I took loose inspiration from the third image down here, swapping out the brown for a grey.

The Nail Arcade - Gold Skull Charms

Provided for review*

Hi everyone. A late post from me today, I've been out and about since work and I've only just got home - I'm straight off to snuggle up in bed after this lol. 

I have some more bits from The Nail Arcade to show you today - this time a gold skull charm. Skulls aren't normally my type of thing but I wanted to give these a try anyway to see if I would like them.

Zoya Watermarble

Hello loves. I hope you are all having great afternoons. Nothing particularly interesting has happened to me today, just another day at the office.

I recently picked up a few new polishes from Zoya's 2014 fall collections. I couldn't wait to have a play so I have attempted a watermarble with two of them which I will be showing you today.

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!

Pick A Polish: Fat Puss Polish - Mr Tabby

Hello everyone. I hope your Monday hasn't been too taxing! Mine has been okay, but I got stuck in traffic for an hour after work today, boo! :(

Since it's Monday I have another Pick A Polish post for you. Today I will be showing you Fat Puss Polish - Mr Tabby. Fat Puss Polish was a UK indie brand but it's no longer trading (as is the case with lots of awesome UK indies) which is a big shame, as I loved everything I tried from the brand. I shall just have to savour the few Fat Puss Polishes that I do own!

Coral and Grey Floral Stamping.

Hi everyone. How are you all? I am glad it's nearly Friday, I have been so unmotivated with work this week!

I have more stamping for you today. I got all excited after my successful stamping on Monday and decided to have another go to check it wasn't a fluke :P. I'm glad to report that it wasn't lol.

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 :).

Pick A Polish: Barielle - Wanna Samba

Hello lovely people. Happy Monday. I go on holiday this week, eeeeep! I may be a little bit excited.

For Pick A Polish this week I shall be showing you Barielle - Wanna Samba. I got this in a set from TK Maxx but haven't used it until now, so I've slayed another from the never ending mount untried! I was unsure of whether I would like this.. call me crazy but I am not a massive duochrome fan. But I was pleasantly surprised.

Pick A Polish: Freckles Polish - Just As You Are.

Hello my loves.

It's time for Pick A Polish again, this week I have another UK indie polish to show - Freckles Polish - Just As You Are. I have swatched this on the blog before but haven't worn it as a full manicure until now so it was nice to get to use it properly.

The Lacquer Lab - Diamantes and Disco

Hi girlies. I hope you're all well. I've just got back from working this morning, I am super tired so I might go for a little nap in a bit.

Today I have a lovely new polish to show you which I recently purchased. The polish in question is The Lacquer Lab - Diamantés and Disco. I have been meaning to try something from The Lacquer Lab for a while but have only just got round to buying some. I don't often do swatch posts just for one polish, but I loved this one so much I just had to show you!

A England Haul Swatches

Hi everyone. Happy Saturday! I have been very lazy this morning, have only just got up.. oopsies! I definitely needed a lie in today though.

Recently A England had a sale on all their polishes, so as you can probably guess I was straight in there to snap up a few pretties! I did want to buy them all, but I showed some restraint and only bought five (I did have twelve in my basket at one point). So today I am going to be sharing them with you.

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well. 

It's the last day for February's theme for the Tri Polish Challenge which is brown, pink and grey. I haven't been in love with the colours this month, so I am kinda happy this is the last post for this theme.. I'm hoping I can come up with some better designs next month :).
