A2Z: K is for Kitschy.

Hi everyone. It's nearly Friday! I am quite looking forward to my weekend now :). 

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!

Pick A Polish: Models Own - Ibiza Mix

Hello loves. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven't posted for a few days - life got in the way! 

For Pick A Polish this week I'll be showing you Models Own - Ibiza Mix. 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!

Pick A Polish: Models Own - Flip Flop

Hello lovelies. Happy Monday! Just two more days at work til Christmas now, we're nearly there! 

I have a very unseasonal polish to show you for this week's Pick A Polish; Models Own - Flip Flop. I felt a bit odd wearing neon in December, but I always wanted to choose the polishes for these posts at random so neon it was!

Christmas Candy Canes

Hello my lovelies. Happy Saturday!

Christmas is just around the corner now (in case you hadn't already noticed) so I have some candy cane inspired nails for you today. I've seen lots of similar designs to this floating around the internet recently so I decided to give it a go myself.

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!

Colour Block Leaves

Hello lovelies. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, this is another scheduled post. Hopefully I am starting to build up my tan by now!

Today I have some autumn-y, leafy nails to show you. I decided to try and be a bit unique with my leaves and do a colour clock type design, I have to admit it looked a lot better in my head :P.

Pick A Polish: Models Own - Coral Glaze

Hi loves. I hope you've all had lovely Mondays. I have felt a bit under the weather today, so I am glad it's a bank holiday so I can hibernate in my flat. The weather is rubbish here so I'm not missing much outside!

For Pick A Polish this week I shall be showing you Models Own - Coral Glaze. This was released earlier in the year as part of Models Own's Hypergel line which are designed to be gel effect polishes (much like the Gelly's from Barry M). I've used this colour in nail art before but I haven't used it on it's own yet, so I was excited to give this a go.

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 :).

Fashion Inspired - Neon Flowers

Hello loves. I hope you are all well. I'm spending the day catching up on blog things as I have been falling very behind lately. 

I have a summery, fashion inspired design to show you today. These are pretty simple but effective in my opinion, plus they are perfect for the summer!

Life In Lacquers Nail Art Challenge - Dots.

Hello loves. Happy Monday, it was back to work and reality for me today :( booo! Roll on my next holiday.

Today I have the fourth theme for Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge to show you, today the theme is dots. I often overlook dotticures as I like to challenge myself a bit more with my nail art a lot of the time. However you can get some really cool effects with dots so I was excited for this post.

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.

Neon Gradient with Flowers.

Hi loves. It's FRIIDAY! I got out of work early today and I have the whole weekend off with my boyfriend (which is rare) since it's his birthday.. then I only have a three day week next week before I am off on holiday yay! I hope you all have lovely weekends planned too. 

I have some super bright nails to show you today, just because neon makes me happy :). I have been meaning to do some more nail art with my Models Own Polish For Tans and I finally got round to it.

June Tri Polish Challenge: Turquoise, Coral and Nude.

Hi lovelies. I hope you are all having good days.

I have June's final Tri Polish Challenge post to show you today, I don't believe it's almost July already! This will be my last Tri Polish post for a while, if you are a regular reader you will know I have been really struggling with inspiration for the last few months with this challenge so I've decided to have a little break from it. But I am going to be taking part in another weekly challenge from next week so hopefully that will get me out of my challenge rut! Anyway enough of my rambling..

Read on after the jump to see what I came up with.

Hello loves. It's FRIDAYY! I hope you all have lovely weekend's ahead of you.

Today I have one of my latest purchases to show you. I recently snapped up a bottle of piCture pOlish - Lizzie from the Sally Magpie's sale, so naturally I had to use it as soon as I got it!

Pick A Polish: Models Own - Duck

Hello my lovelies. I hope you are all having a wonderful bank holiday Monday. I am currently stuck at home with my bad foot, I can't drive or walk very well so I am missing out on the sun :( but on the upside I am getting lots of blog related things done. 

I have more Models Own to show you today in form of a Pick A Polish post. I have liked their last couple of collections that they've released. The polish I shall be showing you today is Models Own - Duck. 

To see this lovely polish read on after the jump.

Models Own Polish For Tans Swatches and Nail Art.

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well, one more day until the weekend! I have hurt my foot so I've been hobbling around all day, I'm looking forward to having the weekend off to rest it!

I have to be honest, I am not usually overwhelmed by Models Own collections. However when I saw their Polish For Tans collection I thought it looked awesome! So I snapped four of them up (I skipped the yellow because I'm not a neon yellow kinda gal) which I will be showing you today, along with some nail art.

April Tri Polish Challenge - Pink, Blue and Yellow.

Hello my loves. I hope you are all well. I have a massive head ache at the moment, so I am going to go for an afternoon nap I think.

So today is the final Tri Polish Tuesday for April, there have been five Tuesdays this month so I was running out of ideas for this colour scheme lol. I was really loving the theme this month up until this week and I had a mind blank, and couldn't think of anything. So I have gone for something pretty standard this week, but that's not always a bad thing right?

To see my standard design click below ;).

Happy Easter!

Hello lovelies. Happy Saturday! A later post than normal from me, I went on a mega bike ride today.. I am now walking like I've crapped myself and I am completely exhausted. A nice gentle night in for me tonight I think!

Today I have my main Easter design for this year to show you. I have to be honest Easter doesn't hugely inspire me for nail art, I was planning on doing more designs but I couldn't think of anything more than what I've already shown you lol. But for today's manicure I decided to get in the spirit of things and went for an all out Easter-fest.

Easter Daffodils

Hello ladies. I hope everyone is excited for the bank holiday weekend :) I am still working tomorrow but have the other three days off after that which I am looking forward to.

Since it's now practically Easter I decided it was time to do some Easter inspired designs. For today's manicure I wanted something that wasn't totally in your face Easter, but still had the feel about it.. so I went for daffodils (I still have an in your face Easter post to come). I was perhaps being a little ambitious with these but I don't think I did too badly :).
