Orange and Black Cobwebs

Hello lovelies. I hope you've all had a lovely day. The weather is very stormy where I live today so I am going to spend my evening hibernating in my dressing gown :). 

I have another Halloween inspired design to show you today. I did some cobweb nail art last year and really liked them, so I thought I would do them again this year but mix the colours up. I was going to add in a spider, but I hate the things so I decided to leave it off! I also want to apologise for the tip wear in these photos... I was convinced I had taken photos of these when I did them and went to edit them a couple of days later and found I hadn't actually take any photos at all (doh!) luckily I hadn't removed this nail art yet!

Freehand Triangles with Smitten Polish - Antiquing

Hello lovelies. How are we all?

I've got another manicure which was inspired by someone else today (I will do some of my own designs soon I promise!). This time I was inspired by this design by @ramydoesnails on Instagram. Not only is this a gorgeous design, I thought it would be great to practice freehanding straight lines too.

Hello beauties. How are we all? 

I've got my first Halloween manicure of the year to show you today. I have had this design in my head ever since I bought Apple Pie by Belle Glamour months ago. I thought this polish was the perfect fit for a Halloween manicure so obviously it had to be the first one I did!

Pick A Polish: China Glaze - Keepin' It Teal

Hi loves. I hope Monday has treated you well. I went with my boyfriend to watch him do a track day after work today, so my evening has consisted of standing in the rain whilst my boyfriend got to drive fast cars round a track.. I think he needs to take me polish shopping now :). 

It's time for Pick A Polish! This week I have been playing with China Glaze - Keepin' It Teal. This was one of China Glaze's summer 2013 releases and I got it when it first came out, used it once or twice.. and since then it's sat in my helmer. This is one of the reasons why I love doing this series so much, it forces me to use the more neglected polishes in my collection.

Hi loves. How are you? Despite the dreary weather here today I am in quite a good mood :).

For Pick A Polish this week I will be showing you Freckles Polish - Wild Flower Meadow. I've featured this on the blog a few times before, I think it has to be one of my favourite glitters. This is more of a spring polish for me, but I have tried to make it more autumn appropriate for this post.

Fingerfood's Theme Buffet - Autumn

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! I've really enjoyed taking part in this challenge so I will miss these weekly posts over the next few months but I'm excited to see what will come next 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.

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Two Colour Gradient/Teal

Hi loves. How are we all? My day has felt very long today so I am glad I am home!

I have the start of a brand new challenge to show you today. I am part of the Crumpet's Nail Tarts group on Facebook and we are starting a brand new weekly challenge for the next year. Each week there will be two themes set to create some nail art with - we can use either one of the themes or both of them combined. I want to try to use both of the themes each week to challenge myself but I will have to see how I go. This week's themes are a two colour gradient and teal, so I've gone for a teal gradient and also added in some stamping.

Born Pretty Store Review - Floral Full Nail Decals

Hello everyone. How are we all? I've had a fairly average day today, nothing very interesting to report.

I have another Born Pretty Store review to show you today - this time for some lovely floral full nail decals. These are really gorgeous and I wish I had received them before I went on holiday as I think they would have been perfect for it. I just wore them to work instead but I still really enjoyed wearing them.

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 - Fruit and Veg

Hello lovelies. It's Friday! I've had the day off work today and I went to Thorpe Park with some friends, I had a lovely time but now I need to put my feet up :).

I have this week's Theme Buffet to show you today - the theme this time is fruit and veg. I have been loving fruit themed manicures this year, I think they have been a bit of a trend this summer. So obviously I wanted to go with the fruit side of the theme but I wanted to go for something a little more obscure than what I have done previously. In the end I settled on a papaya - I've never actually eaten one but I thought it would look good on my nails.
