Christmas Nails Part 2

Hello and Merry Christmas to all my fellow nail fans, I hope you have a healthy & happy Christmas. Here is my second Christmas nail design, not perfect but wearable I suppose! What do you think of my holly leaf thumb & holly wreath ring finger? What do you mean you didn't know that's what they were?! ;-) x

Christmas Stripes!

Hello people, here is my first Christmassy design of the year, some tasty looking candy stripes. I used my nail art pens but used the thin brushes instead of the nibs. I didn't want the stripes to look too perfect as they never are in real candy canes. What do you think? Have you been good this year? I hope so!... Hehe x

Mini Roses!

Hiya fellow nail fans, I have tried a different mani this week. I have attempted some smaller more detailed looking roses. What do you think? I used my nail art pens & my skinniest dotting tool for the details. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to doing some Christmas themed manis over the next couple of weeks so make sure you check back to let me know what you think of them! x

Pink Abstract Nails

Hey lovely nail arters, the temperature is definitely dropping here in the UK which means that it will soon be Christmas & time for Christmas manis! Yay! But in the meantime I have done a bit of an abstract design, what do you think? It's not as neat as I would have liked but it still took an hour and a half, at the end of which I was too tired to neaten! I hope it'snot too cold for comfort wherever you are! x

Luscious Purple

Hey all, I have reverted to my favourite staple design, a half moon with this gorgeous Rimmel purple and glitter lining. I really love this look on my nails, I think it looks really classy, hence me doing it a few times on this blog! I also love this colour, such a rich shade. I hope you're having a great week so far! x

Plain Natural Nails

Hello fellow nail nerds, I have taken the opportunity of posting a few pics of my bare nails today as I'm giving them a little breather from polish for a couple of days. I wanted to ask for any feedback on the condition of my nails from anyone who knows a bit about nail health. How do they look to you? I do have a problem with peeling layers on my nails, any tips on how to prevent this? Any feedback or help is appreciated. Happy polishing! x

Guy Fawkes Night - Fireworks Nails!

Hey all, I wanted to try and create the colourful look of fireworks on my nails for Guy Fawkes Night. I used individual bits of glitter to try and recreate the glittery lights of fireworks in the night sky. What do you think? I love fireworks! I hope you have a fun & safe fireworks night x

Scary Skulls - Halloween Nails!

Hey all, it is very nearly Halloween and so I have decided to indulge in some skull nails! Hopefully I'll be able to try at least one more Halloween theme before the scary season is out, I just love Halloween! It's just a shame I'm too old for trick-or-treating... Or am I... Hehe!

Not-so-lovely Lillies!

Hello lovely nail arters, I have decided to post this mani even though I really quite dislike it! It turned out nothing like how I wanted, I was attempting a lovely lily style design with nice detailed flowers but I discovered that I just don't have the required skill... yet! You may be wondering why I would bother posting a mani when I really don't actually like it but I want this blog to show my progress with nail art, good & bad. Have you ever done a mani that ended up a total disappointment? If so please share it with me! We can all learn from each other, that's the beauty of blogging! x

Hot Looks Swatches

Hey all, I got a couple of bargain polishes this week so I decided to do a simple mani just to see what the colours were like. They are from the Collection 2000 Hot Looks range & are called 'Minx' & 'Intense'. I got them for only 59p each! Bargain! What's your best nail bargain? What do you think of these colours? I really like them! x

Navy & Glitter Half Moons

Hey all, here is this week 's mani, I just love this navy blue! It's Maybelline Express Finish in 898 Denim Dash - which is appropriate as it's Jeans for Genes day on Friday. Will you be donning your favourite skinnies or bootcuts for the day? I hope so! x

Polka Dot Classic

Hey all, I have reverted back to my fave, black & white! I used my dotting tool for the dots which makes life so much easier. Any comments? Have a great week! x

Dripping Polish!

Hey guys, what do you think of my first attempt at a dripping manicure? The base is my plain nail with just some Rimmel base coat, I wanted the black drips to really stand out & thought just a plain nail base might look good. I quite like it, what do you think? Have you ever given this mani a try? x

Late summer abstract!

Hey all, I'm attempting to hold on to the last of our summer time here in the UK with a summery coloured design. I hate the thought of having to stop having barbecues within the next couple of weeks! Still, it does mean Christmas will be on its way which can only mean one thing, Chrimbo mani's! Hehe I'm such a nail nerd ;-)

Dotted Rainbows!<3

Hey nail enthusiasts, what do you think of my dotted rainbow attempt? I couldn't think of a colour to do this week so I thought I'd do them all! I thought using the dotting tool would be easier than trying to paint the lines myself. I'm pretty happy with the outcome, I just can't get enough of nail art! I think I'd change my manicure every day if I had the time! Have a great day whatever your doing x
