#smearforsmear - Cervical Cancer Awareness

*Press samples

Today I have a very important post to share with you and it's quite personal. I wanted to help raise awareness for the importance of Smear tests, also known as Cervical Screening. I became aware of Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and found out that every January they run a campaign on Instagram called #smearforsmear. They call on women everywhere to apply lipstick, smear it and post a selfie to help spread the word that Smear tests are very important. I put my own twist on this and asked the nail community to join in and smear our art to help create more attention for the cause.

26 GNAI - Red and Pink

*Press Samples

Happy Friday everyone! I have a very cutesy 26 Great Nail Art Ideas post for you today. It's all about red and pink if you can't guess. In the week before I did this mani, Nail-Mail contacted me and asked if I wanted to review some vinyls and then sent me a few different ones. I just had to use the cute Floating Hearts for this mani as it was just perfect timing!

Wings RockNailStar vinyls - Nail-Artisan review

*Press Sample

It has been such a nice change to play with nail vinyls! The third and final RockNailStar vinyl pack that Alex from Nail-Artisan sent me was Wings. For this post I decided to use the vinyls in two different ways just to show you that you can use them differently.

Tropics RockNailStar vinyls - Nail-Artisan review

I have another pack of RockStarNail vinyls, sent to me by Nail-Artisan, to show you guys today. Tropics is a bigger pack than the heraldry one so it has more variety. It's full of leaves and fruit type designs!

Heraldry RockNailStar Vinyls - Nail-Artisan review

*Press sample

Today's post is something a little bit different for me. I don't venture much into nail vinyls as usually I don't get on with them but when Alex from Nail-Artisan asked me if I would like to try some RockNailStar Vinyls I thought I'd give them a go.  

40 GNAI - Nude + colour - Fish braid- Uber chic Nautical review

*Press sample

Another Friday and another 40 Great nail art ideas post. This weeks prompt for me was a fish braid design! I've never done one of these before and I've always wanted to try but I didn't really think the original type fish braid would work with nude. So I went for the stencil version and decided to make it harder for myself as I didn't actually have any stencils! I attempted to make the design from straight line vinyls. I don't think I did too bad did I?

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.

Mermaid Bestie Twin nails with Elaine Nails

Today I have another bestie twin nails mani to show you but this one is a bit different. Elaine from Elaine Nails announced on her Instagram that she would be taking part in a monthly nail art challenge for September but to make it a bit more tougher she wanted to do bestie twin nails for every theme with other bloggers. I was one of the ladies that she asked and I was thrilled!
