Hello everyone. I hope you're all well. I've had another busy day and I'm glad to be home snuggled up on my sofa :). 

I've been looking forward to this weeks themes for the 52 week challenge for a while. This week they are red and gold and chevrons. Not only are chevrons nice and easy to do, red and gold makes me feel rather festive so I was excited to get going on this one.

Christmas Watermarble

Hello loves. How are you all? I've been at work this morning and I'm going go karting later which should be fun. 

I've been wanting to have another go at a watermarble for a while now. It's a technique which is still a struggle for me, but I really want to master it as I love how they look! I finally got a chance to sit down and do one last week, and since I'm starting to feel all festive I figured I would go with a Christmas colour scheme.

A2Z - B is for Bold

Hi everyone. How are we all? 

I'm going to be showing you my manicure for B for A2Z today. B is for bold and when I think bold I think red, so that is what I went for. I don't wear red a huge amount but I usually love it when I do, today is no exception!

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!

Blood Drip Nails

Hello loves. I hope your weekend's are all going great so far! I have spent my morning planning a weekend away for my 21st birthday so I'm feeling very excited!

I've done some more Halloween nail art for you today - blood nails! As strange as it may be, I actually quite enjoy dressing up like a zombie and dousing myself in fake blood. Unfortunately I don't have a Halloween event to go to this year as an excuse to do this to myself, so I have settled for some bloody nails instead.

Hello lovelies. Happy Friday! 

I have this week's Theme Buffet to show you today, and this will be the last Theme Buffet post for a while unfortunately. Samantha aka Fingerfood Nails is putting the challenge on hold for a few months but there will be a fresh new start in the new year!

This week's theme is autumn and the first thing I think of when I think autumn is tree's and all the gorgeous colours of autumn leaves.. so that is what I went with.

Today I have the final prompt for Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge to show you today. I'm kinda sad this challenge is over, I always enjoy these kind of challenges!

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

Pick A Polish: Nail Lacquer UK - Bloody Fingers

Hi everyone. Happy Monday. I have spent my evening playing bingo and eating cookie dough which is why this post is a bit later this evening.

For Pick A Polish this Monday I have an old UK indie polish to show you. The polish in question is Nail Lacquer UK - Bloody Fingers. Nail Lacquer UK are no longer trading as an indie brand which is a shame because I really loved them! The owner AJ still has a wonderful blog though which you can check out here. I believe Bloody Fingers was a halloween polish, but I never got round to actually using it so this is my first experience with this polish.

Hi everyone. I hope everyone has had a lovely Tuesday. I came home from work early and spent my afternoon asleep on the sofa.. damn migraine! But I am feeling a bit better now after my nap.

I have the final post for May's Tri Polish Challenge to show you today.. I have to say I am glad this month is finished, these colours just aren't my thing. However, I have this week FINALLY come up with a design that I was happy with, I got there in the end lol.

May Tri Polish Challenge - Purple, Red and Green.

Hello beauties. I didn't sleep very well last night so I'm still feeling tired, I'm glad to be home with my feet up :).

So it's time for the Tri Polish Challenge which means I had to force myself to use these three dreaded colours which I'm not loving this month. I'm determined to still post something every week though. I have to admit though I do prefer this week's look to last week's.

May Tri Polish Challenge: Red, Purple and Green

Hi loves. I'm feeling very tired at the moment I have had a very long day, I've been up since half 4 this morning. I need a nap lol.

Anyway, the beginning of a new month means new colours for the Tri Polish Challenge, this month they are red, purple and green. I have to say I'm not overly inspired by the colours this month, they kind of remind me of christmas. But I shall try my best to come up with some interesting designs to show you.

Copycat Saturday - Neutral Floral.

Hello my loves. Happy Saturday :) I am going on a nail polish hunt for Barry M's new limited edition shade today, it looks so gorgeous I need it!

Today I have this week's Copycat Saturday manicure to show you. This will be my last Copycat Saturday for a while, I have been struggling with inspiration lately and I'm thinking it might be because most of my manicures for the blog are done to a theme. So I've decided to relax my schedule a bit and now I'll have every weekend to post whatever I like :) (although I'm sure I'll still do plenty of posts inspired by other's designs anyway). 

Anyway... this week I was inspired by this gorgeous design by maya_tempaku on instagram. I loved the colours in this design, although it may be a bit more appropriate for autumn not spring. But I shall rebel against seasonally stereotypical colours for this post.
