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.

Double Stamping Tartan - Dark Metal Lacquer - Wishmaster

I really like tartan but I never feel like I suit the traditional red colours, but I love teal tartan! I was searching online for teal tartan scarf and found a lovely one and had to use it as inspiration for a mani.

F.U.N Lacquer - Frost(H)

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. This is the amazing Frost(H) from F.U.N Lacquer which is the same as the original Frost but (H) has a perfect amount of fine and micro holographic glitter added to it.

Cirque Colors Concord with Uber Chic feather decals #pcawreness15

I was a bit late with posting my Instagram mani for #pcawareness15 so I thought I would use it for today's blog post.  The theme was wings/feathers and I decided to stick with just feathers.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Grey + colour - Tribal

Grey + colour is the theme for this weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas and my pattern prompt was tribal. I felt a bit "meh" about the mani I created. I thought it would be so much nicer in my head!

I have a quick review for you guys today of this lovely Stamping Plate Case from Lady Queen. Do you ever find yourself losing your small round/square shape plates? I know I do. I never have anywhere to keep them safe and them just end up lost in the bottom of my vanity case....until now!

Poppy Nails with Uber Chic

Least we not forget. Yesterday was Remembrance Sunday which is when we pay tribute to the men and women who have contributed towards the two world wars and later conflicts. Wednesday, Remembrance Day, is the official anniversary of the end of World War one. We wear a poppy with pride to honour these and women.

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!

Raspberry Margarita Roses mani

Happy hump day! It's a short week for me as I had Monday and Tuesday off work so it's feels like it's nearly the weekend again :D I have had this mani sitting in my drafts for a while and I was meant to post something else today but that went down the pan! So it's a job good I keep back ups.

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness mani - ILNP Charmingly Purple

This month is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month and I am taking part in a challenge on Instagram to raise awareness for this awful type of Cancer. Jayne from Starryeyed83 and Debbie from Ladyandthe_stamp are the organisers of this challenge and each week there is a new prompt. There are no rules other than to use purple! The first prompt for the 1st, which I know was yesterday, was Hearts and Love.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Orange, Purple and Green - Tape

I'm back for another instalment of Crumpet's Nail Tart Presents 40 Great Nail Art Ideas, and this weeks colour theme is Orange, Purple and Green. I know what you're thinking, great combo for Halloween nails, but not when you get stuck with Tape mani as your pattern prompt :/

Sugar Skulls - MoYou London stamping

I have some more Halloween nails for you guys today but these ones are less scary than my recent Walking Dead nails! MoYou London are hosting a Cute & Creepy contest and this is the mani that I am entering.
