52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Fishbraid/Non Glitter Topper

Hello lovely ladies. It's the weekend!!! I'm off out with the girls tonight which I am looking forward to :). 

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.

A2Z - J is for Jewel

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. 

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!

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Pink, Aqua & Dotting Tools.

Hello my loves. How are we all? I've had a bit of an odd day today, the electricity went off at work so I got sent home early - so not very productive!

I've got this week's 52 Week Challenge post for you today, this week the themes are pink, aqua and dotting tools. This one was fairly straight forward... a pink and aqua dotticure.

Pick A Polish: Tara's Talons - Cherry Blossom

Hello lovelies. How are you all? It was back to work for me today, but to be quite honest I was a bit bored of sitting at home!

Monday means Pick A Polish and this week I will be showing you Tara's Talons - Cherry Blossom. I got this from one of Tara's spring collections last year and I have used it a few times since, which is quite rare for me!

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.

A2Z - F is for Fashion

Hello everyone. How are you all? 

We're on F for A2Z now and this week the theme is Fashion. After a lot of browsing the internet I settled on recreating this top by Alexander McQueen. It's not something I would ever wear, but I thought it might look nice as a manicure which is the reason I picked it.

Pick A Polish: A England - Iseult (Plus Born Pretty Store Plate BP19 Review)

Provided for review*

Hello lovelies. I hope Monday is treating you well, mine has been fairly average. 

For Pick A Polish this week I shall be showing you A England - Iseult along with a review for plate BP19 from Born Pretty Store. I believe Iseult was one of my first ever polishes from A England, so it's a fairly old polish in my stash and I've used it a few times in the past.

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!

Hello everyone. How have your Monday's been? 

I have a two in one post for you today - I have a feeling this may be the first of many as I have so many stamping plates I need to review lol. I am combining Pick A Polish and a review of plate BP05 from Born Pretty Store. The polish this week for PAP is OPI - Let's Do Anything We Want which I have never used before, so that's another untried off the list!

MoYou Nails Review - Plate 124

Hello lovelies. It's Friday!! I've finally started feeling a bit less ill this afternoon, so fingers crossed all my plans for the weekend can still go ahead!

I have my next review for MoYou Nails to show you today. This time for plate 124 which has a mixture of floral images, mostly full nail ones. Florals are my favourite so I was really excited to try this plate!

A2Z - C is for Copycat

Hi loves. I hope your week's are going well. I am still ill, I just can't seem to shake this bug off, I'm supposed to be going to a wedding tomorrow so I'm hoping I'll make some kind of miraculous recovery over night (not likely). 

It's time for this week's A2Z post, this week C is for copycat. I decided to copy a design from someone else and I went with these gorgeous nails by @deanne29 on Instagram. This is more of a summery design, but I loved it so much I thought I'd recreate it anyway!

Pick A Polish: OPI - Definite Moust Have

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well. I had a lovely day out at Alton Towers yesterday but didn't get back til late last night. I get up for work at 5am so I am definitely feeling it today!

For Pick A Polish this Monday I will be showing you OPI - Definite Moust Have. I have loads and loads of pinks, but this one has to be one of my favourite ones. Despite this I don't really use it very often, so it was fun to have another play with it.

Graveyard Nails

Hello loves. Happy Halloween!

I've got my final Halloween design of the year to show you today. I have been wanting to do some graveyard nails for ages... l intended to last Halloween and never got round to it. This year I promised myself that I would do some and when I saw these nails by the lovely Sarah of Penny Pinching Polish I knew immediately I wanted to do something similar. I'm so glad I finally got these done!

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!

French Tip & Chevron.

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

Hello my loves. It's nearly Friday!

The themes this week for the 52 week challenge are pink and three colour gradient.. so I went for a pink gradient (I'm a creative genius, I know :P).

Pick A Polish: Mac - Silly

Hi everyone. Happy Monday, I hope you're all having a great day.

For Pick a Polish this week I will be showing you Mac - Silly. I only own two polishes from Mac, they're pretty expensive so I'd usually rather buy from other brands that are a bit cheaper.. I like to get a bit more for my money.

Fingerfood's Theme Buffet - Negative Space.

Hello everyone. This is another scheduled post, I will currently be on the first full day of my holiday, hopefully soaking up the sun :).

This week's theme for Fingerfood's Theme Buffet is negative space. I love negative space designs, but I always tend to steer away from them as my nails are a bit stained so I am a bit conscious of that. But I was looking forward to giving it another go.

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!
