Stained Glass half moons

Hi everyone,

So first of all sorry for the lack of posts last week. Last week was actually my Birthday and with it being my first Birthday at University I spent it with my friends and it was very hectic to say the least! Last week was actually quite a weird week for me, I wasn't feeling that well and I just generally didn't feel that good in myself - I didn't even paint my nails for my Birthday! But anyway I'm back on track now (fingers crossed)!

For today's post I decided to use Models Own Top Turquoise, a polish that's been on my list for a while now and one I often see on Emma & Jo's blog - Dahlia Nails!

I used Models Own Top Turquoise, Models Own Nail Art Pen in White, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black and LA Colors Art Deco in Teal Glitter

Lacquer Legion: Weird Science

Hi everyone,

So today I thought I'd show you my design for this months Lacquer Legion theme: Weird Science! If I'm honest when I first saw this prompt I wasn't going to talk part this month - I had no idea what to do! But then after I thought about it I decided to take the challenge and create a design!

Here's my design:

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.

Geometric accent nail

Hi everyone,
So today I've decided to show you a few of the nail art designs I created as possibilities to wear at my prom a few weeks ago. You can see the design I chose to wear on my nails here. I'm going to apologise in advance for the photos and clean up as I wasn't planning to post these - they were just quick little designs I came up with.
Here's the first design:

I used Barry M Gelly Coconut, No7 Night Silver, No7 So Simple and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Black.

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: 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.

Triangle Half Moons

Hi everyone,

So I finally managed to get my hands on the perfect turquoise polish! I've been looking for a polish this colour for such a long time now and I finally found it when I was in my local Boots. The nail polish I'm talking about is Maybelline Color Show Urban Turquoise.

As soon as I bought this I couldn't resist putting it on and doing some nail art. I decided to come up with a simple design so that I could show off the colour.

Here's my design:

I used Maybelline Color Show Urban Turquoise, LA Colours Art Deco Striper in Black and Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish Your Majesty

Simple Cartoon Stars

Hi everyone,

So this design is not my best, but the aim of this blog is so show both my nail art fails and successes. For this design I wanted to practice drawing stars because drawing them freehand is pretty tricky (well I think it is!).

Here's my design:

I used Company Polish in LANA, LA Colors Art Deco Striper in Black and LA Colors Art Deco Striper in Teal Glitter

The Lacquer Legion: Adoration

Hi everyone,

So for this months Lacquer Legion challenge the theme is Adoration.  

This theme could be interpreted in anyway possible : a nail polish colour you adore, a design you adore, a nail artist, anything!

Polish Party: Chevrons

Hi everyone,

So February's prompt for the Polish Party is Chevrons. I really love Chevrons, so I was really happy when it was chosen for this months theme! 
Here's my design:

I used Barry M Gelly Guava, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Black and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Gold Rush.

Purple Feathers

Hi everyone,

Before I talk about today's design I wanted to find out your thoughts on something I've added to my blog layout. I have added a feature on the side bar called "search by colour" so if you are looking for a particular coloured nail art you can easily find it. 

What do you think about it? Do you think I should keep it or get rid of it? (Also, the colour labels I have used for it are temporary, they will be changed hopefully by the end of this week.)

Anyway onto the nail art!  As you probably know I love purple polishes. For this design I wanted to combine two purple polishes in my collection and use my nail LA Colors nail stripers. I wanted something simple which would show off both colours really well.

Here's what I came up with:

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Peri - Wink, Wink, Sinful Colors Amethyst, Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish Your Majesty, LA Colors Art Deco Striper in Black and LA Colors Art Deco Striper in Purple/Blue Glitter.

Delicate Flowers

Hi everyone,

So as part of my Blogging resolutions, I said I was going do more nail art on metallic bases. For this design I used my favourite metallic nail polish: Models Own Purple Pearl. It's the perfect purple and it's so shiny!

For my design, I followed this tutorial from AJ at Nail Lacquer UK. As soon as she put this tutorial up I knew that I had to try it. If you haven't heard of AJ she is a British Blogger who creates the most amazing nail art! Her freehand is so detailed and she also makes her own indie nail polishes which are available on her Esty Shop .

Here's is my design:

I used Models Own Purple Pearl, Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in White, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Black and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Teal Glitter

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.
