Dripping Blood

Hi everyone,
It's almost Halloween! So over this week I imagine a lot of you will be going out for various Halloween events for the build up to Halloween - I've already been to 2! Obviously for the Halloween events I went to I had to do my nails for the occasion!
Here's my design:

I used Nails Inc Luminous Red

31DC2014 Day 28: Inspired by a Flag

Hi everyone,
So for today's theme inspired by a flag I decided to represent 4 different countries on my nails, all of which mean something to me.

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art The Boys in Blue, La Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in White, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Real Red, NYC High Line Green, Nails Inc Atomic, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Avon Nailwear Pro + Licorice, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow

31DC2014 Day 21: Inspired by a colour

Hi everyone, 

So today's promt is inspired by a colour. The colour I have chosen is pink. To be honest I'm not really a fan of pink in general however recently my collection of pink nail polishes has at the least doubled in size! I decided to do a pink ombré design with a little bit of a geometric/tribal design.

I used Models Own Strawberry Tart, Graffiti Nails Butterfly Pink, 17 Miami, Nails Inc OMP!, Models Own HyperGel Sundress, LA colors Art Deco striper in Black and LA colors Art Deco striper in White.

31DC2014 Day 13: Animal Print

Hi everyone,
So for today's design the theme is Animal Print. I decided to go for the classic tiger print, however I decided to mix it up by adding a gradient.
Here's my design:

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Nails Inc You're a Peach, Nails Inc Atomic and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Black

31DC2014 Day 9: Rainbow

Hi everyone,
So for day 9 of the 31 Day Challenge the theme is Rainbow! I decided to create a striped gradient with a twist. Here is my design:

 I used Avon Nailwear Pro+ Real Red, Nails Inc Atomic, Rimmel I love lasting Finish Sunshine, NYC High Line Green, No7 Stand Back and Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare.

31DC2014 Day 2: Orange

Hi everyone,
So it's day 2 of the 31 day challenge and today's theme is orange. Orange isn't really a colour I'm that keen on especially for nail polish (neither is yellow but we'll get on to that tomorrow!) but recently I discovered Nails Inc You're a Peach, a pretty peach nail polish. I decided to corporate the nail polish into some nail art for today by creating a negative space design. 
Here's my design:

I used Nails Inc You're a Peach and Nails Inc Atomic

Lacquer Legion - Fandom

Hi everyone,
It's Lacquer Legion time! This months theme is Fandom and I have to say I was really happy when I found out the theme! The only hard part was deciding which fandom to choose! In the end I decided to choose a few fandoms and show a different one on each of my nails.

Tour de France Nails

Hi everyone,
So for those of you who live in Europe (especially in France and the UK) you will know that today is actually the first stage of Le Tour de France. Le Tour de France is a cycling race which takes place in France, often departing from another country in Europe and ending in France. This year for the 101st edition the cycle race is actually beginning in England - in the NORTH not the South! Stage 1 of the race will be Leeds to Harrogate and so I'll actually get to watch the race because it goes through my hometown! To celebrate the occasion I decided to create some Tour de France nails:

I used Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black, Models Own Nail Art Pen in White, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Blue and  Nails Inc Luminous Red

Polish Party: Gradient Nails

Hi everyone,
So after a vote we all decided that this months Polish Party theme would be gradient. I love doing gradient designs because there are so many different colour combinations and the nail art possibilities are endless! I decided to keep the gradient simple and use summery colours because for the past week or so it has been really sunny here in England! Here's what I came up with:

I used  Nails Inc You're a Peach, Nails Inc Atomic and Nails Inc OMP!

The Lacquer Legion: On Holiday

Hi everyone,

So it's the end of the month which means one thing - Lacquer Legion time! This months theme is On Holiday. I decided to do something different instead of beaches and sunsets.

Here's my design:

The Lacquer Legion: Garden

Hi everyone,

So it's almost the end of the month which means Lacquer Legion time! This months theme is Garden! When I first saw this design I was completely uninspired. I know the obvious design is flowers, but I didn't want to do that, I wanted to do something different and push myself to create something unique. The design I have come up with is nothing like my usual style of designs, but it's why I like it even more!

Here's the design:

The Lacquer Legion: Glam

Hi everyone,

So like I said in my Blogging Break post I'd still take part in The Lacquer Legion and the Polish Party. When I saw the prompt for this months Lacquer Legion I knew I had to take part! This months Lacquer Legion theme is Glam!

As soon as I saw the theme I knew exactly what design I wanted to do.

The Lacquer Legion: Lucky

Hi everyone,

So for March's Lacquer Legion theme is Lucky.

To be honest when I first saw this theme I was stuck. However I've made this design personal by painting what is lucky for me.

Christmas Presents

Hi everyone,

So I'm sure this post is a few days overdue, but I still wanted to show you the nail polish I got for Christmas.

My parents had already told me that they weren't going to buy any nail polishes for Christmas (apparently I have too many, but you can never have too many nail polishes!), but they ended up buying me some in the end. I was also given a few other nail polishes too.

Christmas Skittle

Hi everyone,

It's 2 day's 'till Christmas! I'm so excited!

Anyway, today I'm going to show you the nails I will be wearing for Christmas day. I have so many different designs in mind, but in the end I decided to do a skittle mani - that way I can combine lots of different ideas! This is my first skittle mani, and I have to say I really like the idea of it!

Here's my design:

On my thumb I did a Christmas tree.

As you can probably tell, I used lots of different nail polishes to create this. 

Snowman Nails Tutorial

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to do a tutorial for the Snowman Nails I created on Tuesday (you can see the post here).

Snowman Nails!

Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to change my banner for a while now but was never satisfied with the designs I came up with, but I finally managed to find a design I liked. What do you think? - Or do you prefer my old banner?

Anyway, today I thought I'd show you some more Christmas Nails. The nearer it gets to Christmas, the more excited I get!

I decided to create some snowman nails, here's what I came up with:

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie, No7 Striper in Black, No7 Striper in Silver, Nails Inc Atomic and Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black.

I also used an unknown polish, which had little tiny silver glitter particles, which I used to create a glitter background.

Random Doodles

Hi everyone,

Whenever I'm bored, on the phone or just have a piece of paper and a pen within reach I doodle. So today I decided to use this for my nail art, and literally just picked um my Barry M Nail Art Pen and doodled. Here's what I came up with:

I used Nails Inc Elizabeth Street, 17 Miami, Barry M Gelly Pomegranate and Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black

My May haul!

Hi everyone,

I know I wasn't supposed to buy any nail polish this month, but that didn't happen. I didn't buy as much as last month though.

Most of these were products were bought on offer.

Technic Carnival Swatch

*This nail polish was purchased by me

Hi everyone,

So you may (or may not) know I am not a big fan of glitter polishes. I love how they look and catch the light, but I hate the removal process, it's just so tiresome. I know there is the foil method, but I am currently looking for an alternative as I don't think my mum appreciates me using up all of the tin foil in the house!

Anyway, on to the nail polish. After seeing Technic Carnival on a couple of blogs I decided I had to get it and ordered it from Amazon for £1.90. However the price seems to have increased since I bought it to £2.61 - which is still pretty good!

I decided to try this over a coat of Nails Inc Elizabeth Street:
