Indie Haul.

Hi everyone. How are you all? I've had another busy day today, so I am glad to be home.

I was feeling a bit down a few weeks ago, so I decided to go on a nail polish shopping spree and treat myself to some new indies that I had been eyeing up since that is the best kind of therapy. I figured instead of them sitting untried in my helmer (which happens way too often), I decided I would swatch them all and show you guys. They are very pretty after all. 



This post will be very picture heavy, so read on after the jump.

Good morning everyone. A nice early post from me today as I am feeling organised :).

It's the final day of January's Tri Polish Challenge, if you missed my first three posts you can see them herehere and here



I had big ambitions for this design.. it didn't turn out exactly as I had planned in my head, but I was still pretty proud of these ones.

If you want to see what I created carry on reading after the jump.

Copycat Saturday: Gradient Triangles

Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a good Saturday :). Mine has been spent working and then getting my car fixed because it broke down, stupid car!

I am back today to show you this week's Copycat Saturday design. This week I recreated this design by Pshiiit. I really struggled with this design, I re-did it a few times but just couldn't seem to get it right! I am probably being a bit over critical of myself but this manicure just frustrated me :P. Anyway, enough of me moaning..

Diamond Print Nails

Hello everyone. How are you all? 

Recently I was browsing the internet looking at clothes that I can't afford (which I do way too often) and I came across this little number. I'm not sure I could ever pull that dress off, but I thought it looked pretty cool so decided to try and put it on my nails instead.

Liebster Award!

Hello loves. I hope you are all well.

No nail art today, instead I have been nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Emma of Saucy Nails. I was so flattered that Emma tagged me, I love these kind of posts. 


For those of you who aren't familiar with this award when you are tagged you have to answer the questions the tagger has set for yourself, nominate some bloggers of your choice (preferably with under 200 followers) and set them some questions to answer. The idea of this is to increase traffic to your blog and let your readers get to know you a bit better.

January Tri Polish Challenge: Red, Yellow and Orange

Hi everyone. I hope everyone's week is going well so far. I have a day off tomorrow which I am looking forward to (as always).

Today I am back with the third instalment of the January theme for the Tri Polish Challenge. I have really enjoyed participating in this challenge so far.


I went with the same three colours as the other two designs as I did, so I may just stick with these 3 for the whole month. The red is China Glaze - Hey Sailor, the orange is Essie - Fear or Desire and the yellow is Nicole by OPI - Hit The Lights.

Pick A Polish: China Glaze - Life Is Rosy.

Hello lovelies. How are you all? I have had a looong day today and I am glad its over.

It's time for Pick A Polish. This week I chose China Glaze - Life Is Rosy... another pink! I do have a lot of pinks, but I feel like random.org is biased towards the pinks in my stash.. I'm sure I will eventually run out of them and show you some different colours I own.


I am starting to run out of pink nail art ideas though lol.

Copycat Saturday: Colourful Sponged Manicure

Hello loves. How are you all? I hope you all have wonderful weekends. My laptop is doing strange things at the moment.. I hope it doesn't die on me :(.

For Copycat Saturday this week I recreated this design by Polish You Pretty. I have always known about their blog, but have only literally just found their bloglovin' button so have only just started following them properly (it's hidden right at the bottom). But I have had this design pinned on my pinterest for ages so I figured it was finally time to give it a go.

Abstract Floral Print.

Hi everyone. How was your day? Mine was busy and I still have lots to do, I'm glad I wrote this post up in advance!

Today I have another random manicure to show you all. I saw a top whilst I was out with a print like this on, so I decided to put it on my nails. I'm not sure if it is meant to be, but it reminds me of flowers, so that is what I am going with.

Copycat Saturday: Nude Leopard Print

Hi loves. It's the weekend! I hope you all have nice plans. I am feeling ill (again!) so I think I will be resting, I keep getting ill lately.

I am back today with this weeks Copycat Saturday post. I was inspired by this pin.. unfortunately the pin doesn't link back to the original creator and the picture doesn't have a watermark. But if anyone does know who originally did these nails please let me know so I can credit them properly.

January Tri Polish Challenge: Red, Yellow and Orange.

Hello everyone. I hope you all had good days, mine was long!

For the new year I wanted to join a challenge or something similar for my blog, since I enjoyed the 12 Days Of Christmas Challenge so much. I recently joined Crumpet's Nail Tarts group on Facebook and saw a post on there about the Tri Polish Challenge themes for the new year so I decided to give that a go. For those of you who may not be aware of what this challenge entails, there are 3 colours set each month for the challenge. You then have to create a manicure each week using those set colours.


For January the theme is red, orange and yellow. I have chosen to use China Glaze - Hey Sailor, Essie - Fear Or Desire and Nicole by OPI - Hit The Lights.

Copycat Saturday: Skulls and Diamonds

Hello lovelies. How are you all? I'm glad its the weekend (as usual) and I am looking forward to a meal out with my friends this evening.

Its time for this week's Copycat manicure and this week I have recreated this design by XOXO Alexis Leigh. I haven't copied this one exactly, I have made a couple of changes (mainly because I don't own suitable stamping plates) but it is definitely very similar.

Gold Chain V-Gaps

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well. I am feeling super tired today since my body didn't want to let me sleep last night, I think I will be having an early night tonight. 

I have another random manicure for you today. I felt like wearing something a bit more classy (in my opinion anyway) on my nails, I think with all the crazy Christmas nails I had been doing I needed a bit of a palette cleanser. So this is what I came up with..

Soundwave Nails.

Hello lovelies. I hope you all had fun celebrating the new year. 

I wasn't really sure where I was going with today's manicure, I just sat down and thought I would see where the wind took me. The final outcome I think is reminiscent of sound-waves so that is what I have named this manicure.
