52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Fishbraid/Non Glitter Topper

Hello lovely ladies. It's the weekend!!! I'm off out with the girls tonight which I am looking forward to :). 

I'm a bit late with this week's 52 Week Challenge, I usually post them on a Tuesday but I'm just sneaking it in before the deadline! I have to admit I struggled with this theme, I did three different manicures before I had one I was happy with - hence why I'm a bit late. In the end though, I was very happy with the outcome.

Pick A Polish: Zoya - Margo

Hello loves. Happy Monday!

This week for Pick A Polish I'll be showing you Zoya - Margo. This is a fairly recent addition to my stash, and I have used it a few times since I've bought it. It is a lovely autumn/winter colour so I'm going to make the most of it before before spring.

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: Film & Holo

Hello loves. How are we all? 

This week for the 52 Week Challenge the themes are film and holo. This is the first week in this challenge that I haven't combined both of the themes... I have to be quite honest I don't watch that many films so I always struggle when film themes come up in challenges. But the beauty of this challenge is that it is flexible, so I just went for the holo side of things.

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge - Dots & Three Shades of Purple.

Hi lovelies. How are you all? 

The themes for this week's 52 Week Challenge are dots and three shades of purple. I love dots and I love purple, so I had an idea of what this manicure would turn out like in my head for a while. But when it came to sitting down and doing it, I felt like doing a watermarble - so I changed all my plans and I ended up with something completely different (living life on the edge, I know!).

MoYou Nails Review - Plate 126

Provided for review*

Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a lovely Saturday. Mine has been spent doing odd jobs around my flat and nail painting :). 

I have my penultimate review for MoYou Nails for you today, this time for plate 126. This is more of a summery style plate in my opinion, but it still has some lovely images.

MoYou Nails Review - Plate 121

Provided for review*

Hi everyone. It's FRIDAY! I hope you've all had lovely weeks and have great weekends ahead of you. My day at work was pretty quiet, and I'm now having a quiet night in on my sofa (which happens all too often lately). 

I have a review of plate 121 from MoYou Nails to show you today. This could be quite a good festive plate, with the bows - but I decided to go with a purple colour scheme instead.

Pick A Polish: Kelly Brook - Unnamed Glitter

Hi everyone. Happy Monday! I'm still suffering a bit from the weekend, an early night for me tonight I think!

For Pick A Polish this week I will be showing you a glitter by Kelly Brook which doesn't appear to have a name. I got this back in the summer along with another polish which I had planned to wear on holiday. Unfortunately the formula on both the polishes were awful, so I took it straight off and they have sat in my helmer since... until now!

Pick A Polish: Ethereal Lacquer - Violet Frost (plus Born Pretty Store plate BP14 review)

Provided for review*

Hello lovelies. How have your Mondays been? Mine has been pretty busy but work went quite quickly so it's not so bad!

I've got another two in one post today. I'll be showing you Ethereal Lacquer - Violet Frost for Pick A Polish along with a review for plate BP14 from Born Pretty Store. I've swatched this polish on the blog once before, but this was my first time wearing it as a full manicure. This happens way too often with my stash!

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge - Brush Stroke/Favourite Brand

Hello my loves. How are we all? 

I have this week's 52 week challenge post for you today. This week the themes are brush stroke and favourite brand. It was a toss up between Barry M and OPI for my favourite brand, and as I couldn't pick between the two I decided to count up which brand I have the most of and go with that. Turns out I have more OPI so OPI it was!

Born Pretty Store Review - Stamping Plate BP10

Provided for review*

Hello lovelies. I hope your weekends are going well. I've been out for lunch with my parents and boyfriend today, now I'm catching up on blog stuff since I haven't got much done whilst I've been ill this week!

Today I have a stamping plate (BP10) from Born Pretty Store to show you today. I've got quite a few plates to review for you (I'll be doing a lot of stamping as I have all my MoYou plates to review too), but this is the one I liked the look of most, so that is why I chose to show it to you first.

MoYou Nails Review - Plate 124

Provided for review*

Hello lovelies. It's Friday!! I've finally started feeling a bit less ill this afternoon, so fingers crossed all my plans for the weekend can still go ahead!

I have my next review for MoYou Nails to show you today. This time for plate 124 which has a mixture of floral images, mostly full nail ones. Florals are my favourite so I was really excited to try this plate!

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!

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!

Pick A Polish: OPI - In The Cable Carpool Lane

Hi everyone. Happy Monday! I did a ten hour shift at work today and I am zonked, I don't know how people do that much work everyday haha! I think I'll stick to my normal shifts from now on. 

For Pick A Polish this week I shall be showing you OPI - In The Cable Carpool Lane. This is from their 2013 San Francisco collection and it is a great autumn colour in my opinion - it's one of my go to's for this season.

French Tip & Chevron.

Hi lovelies. It's FRIDAY!! I hope you all have lovely plans for the weekend :). 

I recently came across this awesome manicure by Doctor Crafty whilst browsing blogs and immediately fell in love! So as soon as I got a chance I recreated it on my own nails.

Distressed Chevrons

Hi everyone. How are you all? I have had a very long day today, but I have a day off tomorrow so I am looking forward to that.

I have a manicure to show you today which involved the melding together of two techniques (I felt like pushing the boat out you see lol). I came across this image online and I thought I could recreate it with a mixture of the dry brushing technique and some chevron stickers.. so that is what I did :).

Zoya Watermarble

Hello loves. I hope you are all having great afternoons. Nothing particularly interesting has happened to me today, just another day at the office.

I recently picked up a few new polishes from Zoya's 2014 fall collections. I couldn't wait to have a play so I have attempted a watermarble with two of them which I will be showing you today.

Matte Purple Dotticure

Hello lovelies. This is my final scheduled post, I'll be spending the day travelling home today so nothing very exciting.

I have a dotticure to show you today. I don't do them that often but I had the sudden urge to have dotty nails so these are what I ended up with!

Simple Plaid Nails

Hello lovelies. How are you all? I've just finished my last full day at work before I am off on my holiday, so I'm quite excitable today. I've still got posts scheduled for while I'm away, I just won't be active on social media or be able to reply to any comments until I get back.

Since the weather is turning here in the UK I have been wanting to wear more autumnal things on my nails lately (even though I'm going to be in sunny Rhodes in a few days lol). I came across this gorgeous design on Druid Nails and thought this was literally the most perfect design for the autumn so put it on my nails right away.

Pick A Polish: Laquerdaisical - Parma's A Bitch.

Hello my loves. I hope your Monday hasn't been too taxing, my working day went quite quickly which was nice. 

I'm back with this week's Pick A Polish today, this week I will be showing you Laquerdaisical - Parma's A Bitch. Laquerdaisical is a UK indie brand, made by a lovely lady who actually lives in the same town as me (which to me is very exciting). This is actually a UK Indie brand that is still trading too, I think most of the UK indies I show you in these posts have now stopped trading - but this is one of the few left.
