Valentines Nails - Take 1

Quick Valentines Day nail idea for todays post! These nails were super easy to create and all I used was cellotape, nail polish, nail scissors and acetone.

Im super excited for Valentines day, even if my boyfriend isn't.. I guess I'm just soppy at heart… so I decided to create some nails a bit early! And I am hoping to create some more in the week if I have time to give you guys some quick and easy ideas!

Red Polka Dot Nail Art

Hey guys! I hope you are all good and enjoying this beautiful winter weather! Today I have a quick post on these super easy but incredibly effective nails!

I created these a few days ago and I have fallen in love with how they look. They were so easy to create but they look so good and I have had so many compliments… especially from people asking where I got my nail wraps from.

Autumn Leaves Gradient Nails

Hello everyone! Todays post is a little bit late going up but it turns out that someone who is way better than me at nail art posted some very similar nails just before I was about to post mine…. So I didn't want mine to look poor in comparison and decided to hold off on posting them for a while.

I am a true lovely of autumnal colours and berry has always been my go to polish and lip colour, so autumn nail art is super exciting for me! I thought these up one night when I couldn't sleep and sadly they didn't turn out quite as neat as I hope (I think I need a smaller brush) but I am still super happy with them.

Guest Post for Ali from Fixin To Faff

So recently I was given the opportunity to guest post on a blog I have been following silently for ages! It is a blog who's posts really inspire me and as you can probably tell from the title it is for Fixin To Faff.

Ali was looking for a way to free up some time without neglecting her followers and guest posting is a great way to do that and I will definitely be looking into this whenever I need some extra time.

Birthday Nail Art & Beauty Giveaway!!!!

Super exciting post for you today guys!!!! As I have recently reached 300 followers on Instagram and as it is my birthday TODAY! WOO I have decided to run my very first giveaway!

This giveaway will run for 3 weeks and is international!

Colour Me Crazy - Blue

Hey guys! Bonus post today is this mani I created for this weeks Colour Me Crazy theme of Blue. As you will have seen recently… I swatched a beautiful blue Barry M Gelly polish called Damson, so I knew straight away what my main colour would be! 

I also had a few questions on my Barry M Neutral Gelly swatches for how I created the accent nail so I decided to recreate it with different colours for this look.

Models Own Floral Polish for Tans

Hello everyone!!

Sorry for not posting yesterday but I was away for my boyfriend's dad's Birthday! We had such a lovely time in Norfolk and I came home yesterday afternoon so I thought I would have plenty of time to post, but I got so badly sunburnt (even though I wore factor 50) that I literally couldn't move… Ive had like no sleep and can't move one of my arms. But anyway enough about the troubles of being ginger….

Today I have a manicure that I created whilst we were having crazy storms in England. One night it even knocked over a vase in my bathroom and it smashed all over the floor so it was pretty scary!

Foil Half and Half Mani

Hey guys, so todays mani is especially for my Auntie Nicky, who kindly brought me the foils that I have used to create this so… THANKS Auntie Nicky!!

I have wanted to use these foils ever since she brought me them and experimented a few times but never really got a great result. I think my ideas were too exotic and difficult really but this simple mani worked really well!

Models Own Matte vs Hypergel Topcoat

Second Post for the day is comparing two Models Own Topcoats. I am going to re do this post soon hopefully with pictures that show more of a difference but for now I have experimented with the mani I posted earlier today.

I think when I found the earlier image of this nail design on pintrest they were Matte (read previous post if you don't understand) so I wanted to try out creating it as close to as I could remember. BUT as I have recently purchased the Models Own Hypergel Topcoat I was torn…. So I decided to do a comparison.

Flower Outline Nails

So I have THREE posts for you all ready to go, but I am only going to post two of them today and one tomorrow. Don't get too excited because they are all based on the same mani but they are all different perspectives so Im not trying to cram too much into one post!

Rimmel - Cocktail Passion Stud Mani

Sorry for the delay in posts but have been pretty busy at the moment with a project and hopefully after next week I should be able to set a regular post schedule so you know when posts will be coming!

As for today's post, I am using my new favourite colour which comes from Rimmel's Salon Pro collection.

Models Own Speckled Egg Skittle Mani

Hey everyone, quick photo filled post today using one of my favourite polishes ever from Models Own.

All polishes used are Models Own except my quick dry topcoat which is from Seche Vite.

To create this mani I used Models Own Speckled Egg in Magpie, Hypergel in White Light and a very old bottle of Juicy Jules.

Born Pretty Store Lace Stamping Plate

Following on from my last post I have another item from Born Pretty Store which they kindly sent me to try out!

It is a wonderful stamping plate full of different lace patterns which I love!

Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Sorry for my absence the last few days but I have a new post for you today and hopefully tomorrow I will have another one!

I was recently sent a few bits kindly from Born Pretty Store and just had to try out these super cute and summer water decals first!

Models Own - Indian Ocean

Two Models Own posts in one day?! Aren't you lucky!

This is Models Own Indian Ocean and I used to wear it ALL the time. I was in love with how it looked so different under different lights! And the other day I rediscovered it at the bottom of my stash and knew I just had to put it on.

Bubble Wrap and Stud Nails

First I have to say I am so sorry to my followers for the lack of posts but I have just finished my last week of my second year at uni and I really needed to concentrate on getting my work done! But to make up for it I have two posts for you today! 

Secondly I have to say I am sorry but there also won't be a post for the next few days as I have to pack up my room and move out, plus I am going to my boyfriends Nanny's birthday! (I have never met her before in our two and a half years together so wish me luck)!

Anyway on to the bit you actually want to read about which is the nails I had on for my last week of Uni!

Polish Party - Splatter Nails

So its that time again! Polish party! And this months theme as voted for in a poll came out as splatter nails!

I have done this method before but I can't find a picture of the nails to show how badly it went the first time!

This is the look I created and I am pretty happy with how it turned out although I think I could have chosen a better colour palette but I like it personally! Keep reading to find out how I created this look!

Models Own Brushes Review

Today I am going to be reviewing the Models Own brush kit. I went out and brought this as soon as it was released in store and have been using it ever since, but I kind of forgot to do a review of them because I got carried away!

Lip Crayon Review and Comparison

Get ready for a photo packed blog post today folks as I took way more pictures than I realised!

I am going to be looking at different lip crayons that are on the market and choosing my favourite for price, and favourite for quality.

I have picked up 6 different Lip Crayons from my local drugstore, which is Boots, as they seem to be very popular now and I have been using the same one for the last 2 ish years.

Models Own - Polish for Tans & Sticky Fingers

Hey guys, so today I am going to be showing you some nails that I created with two of Models Own's recent releases. These are the most recent - Polish for tans, and the fairly new Sticky Fingers.

I absolutely love the Models Own brand…. They create polishes that are really worth buying due to their value for money and they are always high quality! I am yet to discover one of their polishes that doesn't go on smoothly and last for ages. Sooo…..
