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!

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge - Wild Animals/Yellow

Hello lovelies. How have your Tuesday's been? I'm still unwell, I went into work for a few hours but had to come home early.. fingers crossed I can make a whole day tomorrow.

I have this week's prompt for the 52 week challenge for you today - I don't believe we're on week 7 already! This weeks themes are wild animals and yellow. I actually didn't find combining these themes too hard at all - I see yellow as quite a wild colour anyway!

Pick A Polish: Barry M - Blueberry

Hi everyone. How are your Monday's going? I've been off work today, I've been feeling terrible! I'm starting to feel a bit better now, so hopefully I'll be back in action tomorrow. 

For Pick A Polish today I will be showing you Barry M - Blueberry. This is another one of their Gelly polishes which I love! This is one of my go to blues, so I have used it a fair amount before.

Share The Love Sunday

Hello everyone. I hope you have all had lovely weekends - most of mine has been spent in bed with the lurgy.

I've been feeling really under the weather this week, I've spent much more time sleeping than I have looking at blogs. So all my picks for this week's Share The Love Sunday I came across on Instagram. IG is becoming my go to source for nail art inspiration, it's so easy to flick through loads of photos in minutes and there are thousands of talented artists posting there.

Purple and Gold Skittlette

Hi loves. Happy Saturday! My bad week hasn't been getting much better since I posted yesterday, I think hibernation may be my only option!

I have some last minute nails to show you today - it's rare that I do some nails and post them straight away but that is what I'm doing today. For some reason I managed to mess up my blog scheduling and overlooked today's post. I was planning on doing them last night but I had a power cut in my flat - doing my nails in the dark probably wouldn't have gone too well! So I have done a rush job this morning.. I think the idea behind these could work but, like a lot of things to do with this post, they didn't completely go to plan either!

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!

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Domestic Animals/Three Shades of Blue

Hello everyone. How are we all? 

Today I will be showing you this week's 52 Week Challenge which is domestic animals and three shades of blue. If you're a regular reader you will probably know what I am about to say... combining these themes was really hard! In the end I settled on following this tutorial and using three blues.

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.

Share The Love Sunday

Hello loves. I hope you've all had great weekends! This is a scheduled post as I'm off at Alton Towers today, so I probably won't be back until quite late tonight and I'm sure I'll be straight off to bed! 

I have my second installment of my Share The Love Sunday series. I got some lovely comments from people last week via social media, I'm really glad people like the idea of these posts. I'm really enjoying putting these posts together, and I have some cracking manicures to show you today!

Fashion Inspired - Yellow, Black and White Distressed Nail Art

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a great Halloween, I didn't do much but I am off to Alton Towers tomorrow so I am looking forward to that!

I have a Fashion Inspired post for you today, I haven't done one of these in ages! I've had a picture of this dress saved for probably about a year now and I've finally got round to recreating it on my nails.

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!

A2Z - A is for Angles

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well. I am absolutely knackered today and I'm feeling a bit under the weather... thank god it's Friday tomorrow!

NEW CHALLENGE ALERT!! I have been very excited for today as I am starting another nail art challenge. Previously a group of bloggers collaborated on the AtoZ series, where they posted each week about polishes corresponding to each letter in the alphabet (all the posts can be found here). The lovely Charlie of Pocket Money Polishes very kindly invited me to be part of the second generation of this challenge.. A2Z. The difference this time is that there is a theme each week to create nail art with - which is right up my street (in case you hadn't guessed). We're kicking off the challenge with angles as our theme for A.

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

Pick A Polish: Barry M - Greenberry

Hello loves. I hope your Monday's haven't been too much of a struggle! My day at work went surprisingly quickly today. 

I have this week's Pick A Polish to show you today and this week I have been using Barry M - Greenberry. This is one of Barry M's Gelly polishes which is a line that I love so I have had a fair bit of use out of this polish already.

Share The Love Sunday!

Hello wonderful people. I hope you have all had lovely weekend's, mine has been very lazy!

I am kicking off a new feature on my blog today... Share The Love Sunday! Each Sunday I will be rounding up some of my favourite nails done by other people (with credit obviously) and showing them all to you. I have seen other people do these kind of posts and I really enjoy reading them. There's so much talent out there that needs to be celebrated!

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.

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.
