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.

Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge - Film or TV Inspired.

Hi lovelies. This is my final scheduled post, I will be home the very early hours of tomorrow morning. A massive thank you to my lovely boyfriend for looking after my blog's Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest for me (well at least he told me he would do it, so I hope I he has stuck to his word lol).

It's the third theme for Life In Lacquers Nail Art Challenge today and this time it is film or TV inspired. I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to this theme, call me weird but I don't watch many films/TV programmes (I'm always too busy painting my nails :P). In the end I decided to go with one of my favourite films from my childhood (who am I kidding, it probably still is one of my favourite films!). Finding Nemo! If you haven't seen this film before, seriously, drop everything now and go and watch it cos it is the best film ever (along with the Lion King). I'm not five years old, I promise!

MoYou Nails Review

Provided for review*

Hello my lovelies. I hope you are all having a nice weekend so far. I am currently waiting for the postman to bring me some nail mail!

I have some lovely stamping goodies from MoYou Nails to show you today. Now I am a newbie when it comes to stamping, I've read a lot about it but I have only tried it a handful of times so I was excited to give it another try. I figured that if a beginner like me can create a nice manicure using these products then anyone can! I was sent two image plates, a stamper, a scraper and a polish. 

Read on after to jump to see what I thought.

Happy Easter!

Hello lovelies. Happy Saturday! A later post than normal from me, I went on a mega bike ride today.. I am now walking like I've crapped myself and I am completely exhausted. A nice gentle night in for me tonight I think!

Today I have my main Easter design for this year to show you. I have to be honest Easter doesn't hugely inspire me for nail art, I was planning on doing more designs but I couldn't think of anything more than what I've already shown you lol. But for today's manicure I decided to get in the spirit of things and went for an all out Easter-fest.

Piss Up and Pandas.

Hello everyone. How are you all? One more day until the weekend people, I am in need of a lie in!

So today I am going to show you the nails I wore for my trip last weekend. I flew up to Edinburgh with four of my friends for a weekend of sightseeing, shopping, eating and drinking.. but the main reason for our trip was to see the Pandas at Edinburgh Zoo. I had a wonderful weekend and the Pandas were very cute and cuddly looking. Naturally I needed panda themed nails to match the occasion :).

January Tri Polish Challenge: Red, Yellow and Orange.

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 here, here 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.

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.

12 Days Of Christmas Challenge: Day 7 - Christmas Animals

Hi lovelies. I hope you're all well. I have had a super stressful day and need a break but I still have to work tomorrow, waah!

It's day 7 of the 12 Days Of Christmas Challenge and today's prompt is Christmas animals. I thought long and hard about what animals to do, I was planning on trying to do something different. But in the end I just went with very unoriginal Rudolph nails.

You can't really go wrong with Rudolph though can you.

My base colour is OPI - Don't Burst My Bubble.

The reindeer's heads are OPI - A Taupe The Space Needle and the antlers are OPI - Warm Me Up. Although these two colours don't actually look as different as I was expecting them to.

I added the eyes with a dotting tool using Color Club - White and Rimmel - Black Cab. For the noses I used a coat of China Glaze - Hey Sailor and then a coat of OPI - Underneath The Mistletoe. I wish I had used a more bright, glittery red.

I'm not in love with these, but they are definitely not my worst effort. I probably could have made them better but I was a bit rushed whilst doing these.

What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for looking.

Easter Nails.

I hope everyone is having a nice and relaxing Easter, I am spending my day painting my nails and catching up on lots of telly. It's so good to have some time off work!

To celebrate the occasion I thought I would do some Easter themed nails. I knew I wanted to incorporate bunnies or chicks, but I couldn't decide which so I went for both :). I am pretty happy with how these turned out, I think they are rather cute (even if I do say so myself).
