NFC nail lights - VS Nail Art review

*Press sample

Man will I be glad when it's the weekend again! This weekend was a bit of a write off for me and as I'm writing this it's actually Sunday night and I'm dreading work tomorrow :( can't think properly when I'm full of cold. Anyway, today's post is a classic Christmas scene but with a twist...can you tell what it is?

26 GNAI - Winter Warmth

I have another post today from 26 Great Nail Art Ideas and this week it's Winter Warmth! I had loads of ideas in my head about doing a lovely scene by the fire getting all cosy and warm for winter...but I stuck with a plain Christmas jumper design. I just didn't have the time to try anything more ambitious than this lol.

For my base I used two coats of Rudolph Red from For Your Nails Only. A gorgeous bright red with lots of flakies!!

I stamped some Christmas jumper designs from Uber Chic Christmas 01 as that's what winter is all about to me. Getting those big winter knits out and getting warm!

What would you do to represent winter warmth?

Bye for now x

Movember mani - IZ Beauty swatch, nail art and review

Us girls can't exactly grow a 'stache for Movember but we can certainly put them on our nails to help the cause! I was contacted by the Lovely guys at IZ Beauty to see if I would like to help them get behind the cause of the Movember Foundation. Every November, the Movember Foundation ask men to grow a moustache to help raise awareness for men's health issues including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, metal health and suicide prevention. So they sent me this amazing little package to make a man-tastic mani!

26 GNAI - Black base

There's a wonderful nail art challenge on instagram by two lovely ladies this month, Starryeyed83 and Ladyandthe_stamp, and it's all about Pancreatic Cancer awareness. I joined in on all the challenges last year but I've not been able to this month as I've just been so busy! However, this weeks prompt for 26 GNAI is just to use a black base so I incorporated purple flowers into my mani which is next weeks prompt!

Yey the nail art challenge is back but this time it's 26 Great Nail art ideas! I managed to rope a few more bloggers/instagrammers into this challenge so hope you're ready to see lots of cool manis. The prompts are a bit easier to follow this time and have a lot of room for interpretation which I think is great. Today's prompt is blue and silver. I was sent the Uber Chic Far East 02 plate to review by Alex from Nail-Artisan and as soon as I saw the little bird images I wanted it on my nail in blue...don't ask me why lol I just did!
