Simply Nailogical inspired holo galaxy mani

Hope you all had a great weekend. I went to a BBQ on Saturday as it was my partner's brother's 40th birthday! It was a lovely day with all the family and the rain held off until we had finished the BBQ. Lucky or what! I took part in a group theme by Dressed Up In Polish recently which was a Galaxy theme. I had never done a galaxy mani before so I went for it and I'm super impressed with what I did!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Neon Decals

Today's 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is all about neons! Now I know what some of you may be thinking...my challenge is for decals but the image above is a nail vinyl, but I applied them using the decal method so it counts :) I always tend to struggle with vinyls, I think I must apply them too hard to my nail as when I have painted over them and come to remove them, they pull up bits of my base colour! I've seen a few videos of people using them as decals so I thought I would give it a go and I was very impressed.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - 3 shades of red/orange and Circles

Time for another instalment of 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. I wasn't keen on this mani I came up with. The colour theme was 3 shades of red/orange and I had circles for my pattern. I think my idea was good but the colours didn't really go together. 

I'll pink to that - China Glaze with Uber Chic

It's about time we started to see some neons I think! I recently bought a few polishes from the new China Glaze collection, Lite Brites. I got Papa don't Peach, Bite me, What I like about blue and I'll pink to that. I mainly got them after seeing them on this video by Twi-star.Today I am going to show you I'll pink to that with some stamping from a new Uber chic plate.

Itsy Nails London swatches and review.

*Press samples

Itsy Nails London is a new brand to the market. They have formulated a gel effect nail polish the is 5 free! So it contains none of the following chemicals: DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Camphor and Formaldehyde Resin. It also looks like they may be releasing their own treatments soon so I'm sure they will be good if their polish is anything to go by!

Anniversary nails - Uber Chic and CBL Stamping polish.

Last week my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary. We aren't married but we do like to celebrate when we first met and this year was our 9th year together. I have done a few themed manis recently so I had to do a mani for this occasion.

Caviar Wishes and Keanu Reeves Dreams with double stamping

I've felt in a bit of a nail funk lately then I saw Debbie from Lady and the stamp post a gorgeous double stamped mani on Instagram and I thought "hey I still haven't done double stamping yet using the same image!" so I grabbed one of my new polishes and clear stamper and came up with this.

French Mani - CBL The Devil Wears Polish and Crystal Clear Stamper

*Press Sample

I totally forgot that yesterday was my second year blogiversary! I've been so busy at home that it just slipped my mind. I just want to say a quick thank you to all of you who keep coming back and reading my posts :) it means a lot. I wish I could do some form of giveaway for you but funds won't currently allow it. 

Anyway back to today's post. The lovely Alex from Nail-Artisan sent me her Crystal Clear stamper to review along with Apipila plate P6 so I could show you how easy it is to do a french mani with this stamper.

Happy New Year! Berry Good Looking, Edith and Uber Chic.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a fab evening. I just spent it with the other half and our dog watching a film...So rock and roll eh!? Even though I didn't go out I still had to do some NYE nails and I did these as a twin mani with my best nail buddy, Sam aka @theonenailqueen.

HPB Presents-Santa Claus is coming to town! CBL gradient with stamping

It's time for another Hobby Polish Blogger link up and this months theme is Holiday/Winter. 

So tomorrow is the day when the big guy in red comes down our chimney's to drop off all the presents. I think most of us hope for a white Christmas but it looks like my nails are the closest to white Christmas that we will get this year! They are a tribute to Santa's journey while he flies through the skies to visit all the good boys and girls.

CBL Blue, Blue Christmas - MoYou London stamping

Well it's certainly a Blue, Blue, Christmas without my lovely long almonds, but with this baby on my nails it does help ease the pain! I absolutely love this colour and it's only fitting to stamp it with some Christmas theme images right?!

Meet Me Over The Rainbow Bridge and BPS review.

This post is one for all you dog lovers out there. I have always loved animals and owned a variety of them but never had the chance to have my own dog until recently. This polish is a very special one and has a lovely meaning.

CBL Edith and Fab Ur Nails stamping

OMG this polish is just divine! This is Edith from the new Overboard collection by Colors By Llarowe. I wanted so many polishes from this collection but I settled for a few for now and I had to have this one first. This is two coats topped with HK Girl Fast Dry Top Coat.

Derren Brown Inspired Illusion Nails

I recently went to see Derren Brown at the theatre and these are the nails I did for the show. Derren Brown is an English illusionist, mentalist, trickster, hypnotist among many other thing. When I saw that MoYou London was releasing an Illusion collection just in time for my trip to see him I knew I had to get one and do some inspired nails!

CBL Well Done! Woo! Woo! Woo! with Paisley Stamping from Messy Mansion

I really am in love with this mani but I would as it's a blue holo with purple stamping...my two favourite colours. I actually wore this for nearly a week! Not much chipping either but it had to be removed for a new gel mani.
