26 GNAI - Work appropriate nail art

When it comes to my nails and work I am very lucky as I can do what I want. Heck.. this week I had one polish on the fingers of my swatch hand, a nail art design on my thumb and then a different colour on my Cindy! It's safe to say I have freedom when it comes to my nails at work but some people aren't that lucky. So for today's 26 GNAI the theme is work appropriate nail art.

Sigh...back to the grind stone after a nice long weekend, always a killer that first day back isn't it? Oh well, just a few weeks until the next bank holiday!  Today I'm sharing a few manis with you using Collection 15 by Uber Chic Beauty.

Dream-catcher

We are half way through April already...what is going on?! These weeks are going so quickly! Hope you all had a lovely Easter break and ate loads of Easter eggs! I have a mani up today that I did probably around a month or more ago lol I've just had other things to post so this poor mani has been pushed to the side! And that's a shame as I loved this!!

26 GNAI - Pastel to Bold with something on top

Wooo it's Easter Friday and that means I've had the day off work and chocolate lol! I hope you've had a great day and are looking forward to the nice long weekend. I have a new mani today as part of 26 Great Nail Art Ideas and the theme was pastel to bold with something on top. I don't actually have neons that would have been suitable for the pastels I wanted to use so I kept it simple with similar colours. 

Roxanne Campbell swatch, review and nail art

*Press sample

Hey guys. I hope you had a lovely weekend! I'm actually typing up this review on Sunday morning while sat in my garden in the sun....bliss! I was recently contacted by Roxanne Campbell to review one of her polishes. Roxanne is the lead manicurist/nail artist at London and New York fashion week. She has been a nail expert now for eleven years. She felt there was a gap in the market for unique fashion colours so she decided to release her own luxury nail polish.

Meebox - Miami Nice swatches and review

*Press samples

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I have a colourful post for you today. The awesome ladies at Meebox contacted me and asked if I would like to review March's box and I said yes! They must have read my mind as I was very tempted by the theme last month and almost bought it for myself for my birthday. The theme was Miami Nice and it actually reminded me a bit of the very first box in August 2015. 

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Green Freestyle

Time for another 26 great nail art ideas and I kept this one really simple...green freestyle. I could have done anything but I wanted a nice easy mani for this post.

Alternative Art Deco mani - Pretty Serious and Powder Perfect

Hey guys! Hope you are all well. We had such nice weather this weekend it's made me so ready for Spring, Summer and the colours that go with it! I did this mani a few weeks ago now but the colours are just perfect for my current mood!

Lina Stamping plates - Feeling Shapely 02 - Nail-Artisan

*Press Sample

Hey guys. Hope you've all had a great week. On the blog tonight I have Feeling Shapely 02 by Lina Stamping Supplies sent for review by Nail-Artisan. If you haven't guessed it by the name. this plate is all about shapes and it's predominantly dots. We all know a dotticure is a nice simple mani to do but it's very easy and simple to do one with this plate!

Mermaid mani - ILNP and Bundle Monster

Hey lovely readers. I hope you had a fab weekend! It was my birthday on Sunday so I went out for a lovely  meal and got spoilt by my family. I also got some lovely presents from friends within the nail community which completely shocked me. People are so kind!

Today I have a nice simple mani to share with you which is actually what I wore to the spa a few weeks ago. I did something simple as I wanted both hands to match for a change lol

26 GNAI - Spring Animals

Don't you think that we sometimes take ourselves too serious?! So with that in mind I wanted to do some silly nail art with this week's 26 Great Nail Ideas prompt, Spring Animals. I did a fluffy chicken and a very questionable sheep lol!

Nailing Mental Health

I've gone all green for today's post guys and it's for a good cause! On the 2nd of April, Guinness book of world records have accepted a bid to smash a world record down in London. The record is to paint over 6078 peoples nails in the colour green, to mark the 6078 people that lost their battle in the UK and ROI against a mental illness in 2015. The mastermind behind this all is a lady called Stephanie Staunton. She is a professional manicurist and this is a very personal venture for her. Stephanie is hoping, along with 350 other manicurists, that they will raise £30k for MIND and for Nailing Mental Health.

Trosani UK product review - Polish and gel kit

*Press Samples

Happy Friday all! Yesterday was technically my Friday as I had the day off work today and spent it at Gomersal Park Spa with my mum and sister. I wrote this post earlier on this week but I can guarantee I had an amazing time....how can you not at a spa all day?!

Today I am showing you a new to me product...peel off gel polish. Trosani UK contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be interested in trying their Ziplac peel off gel polish kit. I had to say yes as the concept really intrigued me. 

Pink Gellac - Candy Couture swatches and review

*Press Samples

I don't know about you guys but I am so fed up with the current English weather. One minute it's raining, then windy and then sunny...just make your mind up already! We had a lovely day on Saturday and the sun was so warm and it made me want Spring to be here already. Well at least spring colours are coming!! I have the new Candy Couture collection by Pink Gellac to share with you all. It consists of 7 gorgeous colours that are perfect to bring us into spring.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Mixed Tape Mani

Happy Friday guys!! How quick has this week gone?! I was quite excited to share today's post with you as it's something a bit different. The prompt for this weeks 26 Great Nail Art Ideas is Mixed Tape Mani. If you're like me you probably would have thought of nail vinyls and striping tape but my lovely friend Kirsty of Fairytales Nails thought of a mix tape! You know...like the old cassette tapes we used to listen to music on back when we were kids! We decided to do a triplet mani and each do the same nail design. Unfortunately Becca, from A Certain Becca Nails, and myself didn't have any stamping plates with tapes on them :(

So we went with plan B!! 

Meet Me Over The Rainbow Bridge - A doggy tribute

Hey guys. Today's post is a bit of a sombre one. In our family we have had a few losses very recently, the four legged kind, and I wanted to give them my own little tribute post. Some people think dogs are just dogs but to us they are our family so it's heartbreaking when they cross to the rainbow bridge.

Jessica Nails - Silhouette collection

TGIF guys! Hope you've all had a good week. Mine was pretty standard for a work week but I'm happy it's the weekend and I can enjoy my new garden. We had it flagged this week with Indian flagstone and it looks fab!

Today I have the new Silhouette collection from Jessica Nails to share with you. It consists of 6 nude  cremes and some even have flakies! Which is great to see from a mainstream brand. 

Kelly Negri Stamping plate review

Hey guys! Hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend. Mine was quite quiet really. My dad was here helping us do some work on the house and then I saw my grandparents, mum and sister on Sunday. So a nice family filled weekend!

Alex from Nail-Artisan recently sent me lots of Esmaltes Da Kelly goodies to try out and review and that included some Kelly Negri stamping plates.
