HPB Presents: My first indie - Fool's Gold.

I'm back with Hobby Polish Bloggers Presents and this months theme is a good one! My first indie. Since I got my first indie I've been a bit indie obsessed and my collection of indie products has grown and grown. I remembered what my first indie was straight away, how could I forget the beautiful Fool's Gold.

Pop Couture - Jessica Nail Colour review and swatches

*Press Samples

I have a gorgeous new collection to share with you guys today from Jessica called Pop Couture. Some of the colours in this collection made my camera freak out so much that I had to revert back to using my phone camera. For some reason my camera doesn't like super bright colours.

Lets see some swatches!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Red - Accent Nail

So I wasn't sure where I was going to end up with this weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme as it is not a colour I'm overly fond of. The colour was red and my prompt was accent nail. I had a few ideas and I was actually super happy with how this mani turned out!

Morgan Taylor Little Black Dress - Moyra stamping

I have been doing so much work at home this weekend I am shattered, so today's post is a quick one. I have two new to me brands in this post today which are Moyra and Coluor Alike. They are both stunning and certainly won't be my last purchase of these brands.

Cute Valentines nails with Uber Chic

I totally was not feeling Valentines this year and haven't really felt like doing any themed manis but then I decided I should at least do one and go all cutesy! So I grabbed some pinks and my Uber Chic plates and made this mani.

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.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Turquoise or Aqua - Zig Zag

I have a quick 40 Great Nail Art Ideas post to share with you today, which is 3 shades of purple. I've not been very well this week and left this mani a bit late. I wasn't too sure what to do with my prompt, waterfall, other than the typical waterfall mani you see these days.

The January blues have definitely set in for me! I've just come down with a terrible cold that's all in my sinuses which is making it so hard to write...but the show must go on as I have these beautiful polishes to show you. I was contacted by Gerrard International to see if I would like to review the new colour collection from Jessica called The Truest Of The Blues Duo. Gerrard International provide professional beauty products to UK spas, beauty salons and mobile therapists.

Cupcake Polish - Peace

I wasn't feeling very inspired the week I did this mani as I've had a lot of DIY going on at home. I actually kept this on for nearly a full week and my nails were plain?! Shocker right. Good job this polish was a stunner.

Femme Fatale - Grandfather of the Desert - Uber Chic stamping

I got some Rainbow Connection vouchers for Christmas and I decided to buy a few colours that I wouldn't normally go for, and gold is one of them. This is a beaut of a polish!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pale blue base -Water colour

I'm back today with another theme from Crumpets Nail Tarts and this week the colour is pale blue and my pattern is water colour. For a long time now I've wanted to try out Nimbus nails which was a technique The Nailasaurus came up with, and this was the perfect opportunity. 

Twin Nails with @starryeyed83 - Radial gradient

I'm back to work this week :( as much as I complain it is nice to be back into routine and actually know what day of the week it is! So for this miserable first week in January, Jayne from @starryeyed83 and myself came up with some bright twin nails. We went for a neon radial gradient with stamping from Uber chic.

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.

Space Collection - Creative Shop Stamper Review

I have something super exciting to show you guys today. Remember when Creative Shop brought out their first stamper? I think they revolutionised stamping, or they certainly did for me. Well they've knocked it out of the ball park again with their new Space collection stamper. I was so honoured when Oksana asked me if I would like to review the stamper for her. I just had to jump at the chance!

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.
