Hi everyone,
My exams are finally over! I now have more time for blogging so I think I'm gonna spend this weekend painting my nails and catching up on all of the posts I've missed! Today I have 2 more polishes from Mint London to show you.

Mint London Swatches Part 1

*These products were provided for review

Hi everyone,
So for the rest of this week I thought I'd have a bit of a swatch week! Over the past week (and this week) I have exams so instead of posting nail art I'm going to post some swatches of some new nail polishes I received from Mint London.

31DC2014 Day 12: Stripes

Hi everyone,
So for day 12 of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge the theme is stripes. I decided to freehand the stripes as I couldn't face the hassle of striping tape! - I think they turned out quite well to say I did them freehand.
Here is my design:

I used Avon Nailwear Pro Real Red, Rimmel I Love Last Lasting Finish in Sunshine, NYC High Line Green, No7 Stand Back and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in White

31DC2014 Day 1: Red

Hi everyone,

So it's day one of the 31 Day Nail Art challenge (there's no going back now!). Today's prompt is red nails. I decided to keep this design simple but also show off some of the inner child in me! 

Here is the design I created:

I used Avon Nailwear Pro+ Real Red  and Sinful Colors Snow Me White

Born Pretty Store Red Flower decals review

*This item was provided for review

Hi everyone,

Today I've got a review of some water decals* from the Born Pretty Store to show you. When these decals first arrived I had no idea what design to do with them, so I decided to keep it simple and I ended up loving the results!

Here's my design:

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

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:

Guest post: Robin from rexxx did it - Let's Go Louboutin!

Hi everyone,

So today I have the last post in my guest post series. I have 3 exams left now and have managed to find some time to create a few designs which  I'll show you over the next few weeks. Today's guest post is from one of my favourite bloggers Robin from Rexxx did it. Robin's designs are always so unique and she's a great blogging friend too!

Anyway over to Robin:

Hi everyone!

I'm Robin, a 22 year old girl from Belgium who is addicted to nail polish (but then again, aren't we all? ). I also run the nail art blog rexxx did it :)

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.

Models Own Catherine Wheel Swatch

*This nail polish was a competition prize

Hi everyone,

So today I thought I'd show you another swatch from Models Own's Fireworks collection.

Instead of showing you this collection over black like the majority of the swatches I have seen, I've decided to use a different base colour to show the versatility of the collection.

Today's nail polish is Models Own Catherine Wheel.

Rocket is available from the Models Own website, Boots and Superdrug for £5.00

Birthday Presents & Haul

Hi everyone,

So as you may (or may not) know, last week I turned 18! 

For my Birthday, I decided to do Galaxy Nails (which you can see here). I didn't receive that many nail polishes for my Birthday, so I thought I'd show you my recent haul too. 

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. 

Christmas Pudding Nails

Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd show you some Christmas nails I created as it's only 9 until Christmas! I'm so excited!

I wasn't really sure about this design at first, because I wasn't sure if the brown nail polish  would look nice with my skin , however I'm pretty happy with the results.

Here's my design:

I used an unamed brown nail polish, NYC High Line Green and Barry M Matt White. The little red star studs are from a NPW Nail Art Wheel.

Christmas Swatch: 17 Chateau

                                                                                                *This nail polish was purchase by me

Hi everyone,

As part of the Christmas swatches I've decided to show you one of the oldest nail polishes in my collection: 17 Chateau 

I really love this colour, and always wear it around Christmas time. As you can see this nail polish is great for Christmas because it's red!

I'd say this nail polish is a cherry red, which has subtle gold flecks.

Red Leopard Print

Hi everyone,
You may or may not have noticed, but over the weekend I created an instagram for my blog!
You can view the page here. Please follow it, if you want! :)

Anyway, onto the nails!
Today's design is inspired by fashion. In the majority of the magazines I have been reading I have seen a lot of leopard print clothes. In one magazine I saw a really nice metallic red leopard print top, as soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a nice design for my nails.

Here it is:

I used No7 Salsa, Revlon Gold Coin and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black

Royal Baby Nails!

Hi everyone,

So I'm sure you all know the Royal Baby was born yesterday and it's a little baby boy!

I decided to do some nail art for the occasion, here's what I came up with:

I used Barry M Blueberry, Fing'rs Heart 2 Art in The Boys in Blue, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Real Red, Models Own Nail Art Pen in White, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Blue and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Gold.
