Ink Glacier with Colour splats from MoYou.

This morning I completed a 5k Colour run with my sister, for a local charity called Overgate Hospice. A Colour run is a run where you have colour powder thrown at you. (Sounds like fun but it's not when it goes in your ear!) I obviously had to do some nails to match the event and this is what I came up with.

Color Club Miss Bliss with Uber Chic stamping

Well the sun has finally arrived in the UK this week...but not when I did these nails unfortunately. Oh well I still love a holo no matter the weather!

Cirque Cerrillos with MoYou-Explorer stamping

I think I need to apologise to this beautiful polish as it has been sat in my drafts for quite a few months and it's actually one of my favourite colours!

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.

HPB Presents Beach nails - Barry M and Uber Chic

I have another link-up post from the lovely gals down at Hobby Polish Bloggers and this months theme is Beach. I've been wanting to buy the Uber Chic plates for a while and when this theme was announced I knew I had to buy them.

Water Marble mani

So I recently bought the Pure Color 7 water marble tool from What's Up Nails as I had seen a lot of water marble manis that had been done using this tool and they looked awesome!

Red-y To Rave - China Glaze

This is one bright polish! When I wore this at work some of my colleagues actually said it was very distracting as it was so bright. So if you are after that perfect neon for your summer holiday keep reading!

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!

HPB Presents May Flowers - IBD My Babe

For the first time I am joining in on the Hobby Polish Bloggers link-up and this months theme is May Flowers! I love flowers and I knew I wanted to do some Advanced Stamping for this theme.

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.

The Edge Nails Review

*Press Sample

The Edge Nails are one of the UK's leading professional nail care brands and they sell a wide variety of products including nail files, nail art, nail polish, gel polish and many more! I have heard of The Edge Nails as I have bought their Silk Wrap Kit which has saved my nails on many occasion. I currently have this on my thumb holding a split together! When they asked to send me some products for review I was very excited to be able to share them with you guys.  

My First Successful Water Marble

Wooooo...I have successfully done a water marble! I first tried a water marble about 2 years ago when I was just getting obsessed with nails... it did not go well. I couldn't get the polish to anchor to the sides of my glass so I couldn't draw any nice design in the polish and the polish I had was, to put it politely, crap! So now I have better products I thought I would give it a second shot and hallelujah it worked!

Pure Euphoria Nail Polish Review

*Press Sample

I was contacted recently by Pure Euphoria to see if I wanted to review some of their polishes and I jumped at the chance as they are very interesting! Pure Euphoria nail polish is 5 free, so they contain no nasty chemicals, and are vegan. When the polish is dry that's when the magic happens...for 24 hours after application, the polish smells of essential oils.

Fools Gold piCture pOlish and BPS Review

*Press Sample

Well this polish certainly is a treasure! Ever since I saw it on The Nailasaurus I knew I needed it. It is my favourite colour, turquoise, and has glitter running through it...what more could a girl want?! Well more nail polish obviously but you know what I mean, it's a dream polish for me!

Dashica Stamping Polishes

One of my birthday present this year was some new stamping polishes! So I thought I would share some swatches of them with you guys. I have stamped them all over a black and white nail pop to show how well they appear over light and dark backgrounds.

Cupcake Nails With Red Carpet Manicure Aquamarine

So it was my birthday on Thursday and these were the nails I wore. I was bought this polish for Christmas, it's a very special polish and I wanted to wait until my birthday to use it.

Butterflies on Butterflies!

I've wanted to try some double stamping for a while now and when I saw a YouTube video by Nail Stamp 4 Fun I knew I had the perfect polish and plate to use for a new mani inspired by her video. Unfortunately it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but I just got a new holographic polish delivered and wanted to use it.

Kaleidoscope Nails With SensatioNail Taupe Tulips and MoYou

This week I went to see the The Script at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. I love The Script and I have seen them three time now. I usually go with my Mum and Sister so It's a nice girls day :) On their third album, #3, they had a song called Kaleidoscope which inspired me to do this mani.

Happy Valentines day everyone. Hope you are all having a nice day. Me and my boyfriend don't celebrate Valentines so it's just a normal day for me. 

Valentines Skittle

Happy blogiversary to me...well nearly, it will be one year on the 8th! I can't believe I wrote my first blog post a whole year ago, I feel I have improved a lot since then. It's been a great first year, even though I went MIA for a few months, but thanks for sticking around guys :) I hope to do a give-away in the near future so watch this space and hopefully I will be able to sort something. On to the mani!

Blue Colour Block Mani

I love blues..don't you? Ever since I saw this tutorial on YouTube by Andrea at Chickettes I've wanted to have a go at colour blocking. If you haven't already read her blog then I insist you do so now!

My first Holo!

Hi everyone. I cannot believe it has taken me this long to get a holographic polish....what is up with that?! I suppose it's because I mainly use gel polish rather than regular nail polish but this is a beauty.

Nail Art Advent Calendar

Hi everyone. I hope you have had a good start to the new year. My mum bought me a Nail Art Advent Calendar this year. She got it from The Range. So I just thought I would write a quick post about what I got in it.

First Christmas mani of the year....and my nubbins :(

Hi everyone. Today I have for you my first Christmas mani! I just love this time of year...but first...a few days ago I managed to break three nails at once :( I contemplated getting some gel tips put on at a salon or gel overlays but I decided to file them to nubbins and just let them grow. Luckily my nails grow at a good rate so they should be better length soon. Now onto the mani!

LeChat Perfect Match Hologram Diamond

Hi everyone. Today I have a mani for you that, to me, is simply stunning. This gel polish is called Hologram Diamond by LeChat Perfect Match, and it definitely is a diamond! I love all the holographic regular nail poltish that you can buy but I wanted to find a gel version. When I saw this I just knew I had to have it. 

SensatioNail Strength and Smooth gel treatment

Hi everyone. I have something a bit different for you today, a gel treatment polish! I don't know about you guys but my hands can tell it's winter now....they are always cold and dry currently so I think this is starting to affect my nails. I have noticed they have been a bit dehydrated and weaker lately.

Purple Hearts

Hi everyone. Today I have for you a mani that has hearts at the tips, kind of like a french tip I guess but in the shape of a heart.

You've got to love glitter!

Hi everyone.  Today I have for you a mani that was inspired by fireworks. I took IBD Black Lava and did 3 thin coats. Black Lava has good coverage and applies really nicely.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few months, my new pup has been keeping me very busy so it's been hard trying to do my nails, let alone having the time to write about them!
