Christmas Nail Wraps - BPS review

*Press sample *Affiliate links

Good old Cindy hand is on the blog today. The reason for this is because I wanted to see how easy these Christmas nail wraps were to apply (1 Sheet Christmas Snowflake Nail Wraps Flower Full Nail Sticker- 14 patterns). Turns out they were easy but not easy to pose with Cindy!

Uber Chic Winter Nails - Polished by KPT

I can't get enough of the Uber Chic Christmas plate. There's not an image on it that I don't like so you will be seeing more Christmas manis, you're probably going to be sick of them!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Water marble and Glitter topper

I don't tend to do water marbles often as I'm not very good at them but this weeks Crumpets Nails Tarts theme was glitter topper/flakie and my pattern prompt was water spotting/water marble. So I gave water marbling another try but used a different technique.

Oh my I have a beauty to show you guys today! I loved this polish so much that I couldn't stamp anything on it as it was just so stunning on it's own.

40 Great Nail art Ideas - Black and White-Tie Dye

So I was quite lazy with this weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt. The theme was Black and White and my pattern prompt was Tie Dye. At first I thought I would try that technique where you drop polish into a cup of water and then spray it with something and it separates the polish. I think this would have worked quite well for a tie dye effect but to be honest I've just been so busy with things at home so I stuck to what I know and stamped!
