Snowflake Nails!

Hi guys, 

Just thought I'd share these with you as I've received quite a few compliments on them today! 

I used GOSH - Tilted Blue for the base, Essie - Blanc and Barry M - Foil Effects 

I really like this, I hope it encourages snow for real! 

Let me see your Christmas/Winter nails!

Shades of Christmas!

Aah!! YES!! It's December, and we all know what that means! CHRISTMAS. And what does Christmas mean? GLITTER!

I absolutely love this time of year, its a good excuse to wear a lot of glitter nail polishes (and regret it as soon as I have to take it off!). I have a serious case of festive fingers (is this a thing? it should be a thing!) right now and went a bit crazy with my winter/Christmas nails so I thought I'd share them with you.

I used Essie - Russian Roulette (red), Essie - Blanc (white), Barry M (Nail Effects 319) and Models Own -Jucie Jules

As you can see I have changed my pinky nail from white to red. I had Blanc with Pure Pearlfection from the Essie Winter 2013 range, originally. Although in real life this combination looks amazing, it did not pick up on camera and as I love the effect Pure Pearlfection has on a nail I really wanted to be able to show you it!

Isn't Santa's hat so cute? Have you tried any Christmas nails? If you have then please share them with me!!

Look forward to lots of glittery nails over the next few weeks! 

Children in Need

Hi guys,

It's been a little while since I posted again! Sorry!! I've just been so busy with work. We had a pyjama day at work today, in aid of Children in Need, which the children absolutely loved (and going to work in my onesie wasn't half bad!). I decided to do CiN themed nails and wanted to share them with you.

These are very basic as I didn't have enough time to draw Pudsey, but I really like the effect :) I just used the Orly Duo Dotting tool.

French Manicure - With a twist!

Hi guys,

Two posts in two days! Wow.. 

I got a bit fed up with my Halloween mani, and seeing as I'm not at work until Wednesday I figured I'd redo them for Halloween. I decided to do a French Manicure with a twist.

I started with two coats of Essie - Vanity Fairest, I then used Essie - Blanc to paint the tips. I used Essie - The Lace is On with help from a Nail Art Brush to draw the lines and then added the butterfly detail (they were supposed to be bows but turned out like butterflies, hey ho!) and finally Essie - Black for the edge detail.

I really like this look, it makes my hands feel elegant! What are your favourite nail looks?

Halloween!

Hi guys,

I know it's been a while since I last posted, I've had a very busy two weeks, couple that with the fact my internet connection is intermittent at best I've not had a lot of time to blog!

Seeing as it's Halloween this week, I thought I'd show you my very basic Halloween nails. I work in a Nursery and I'm going to be working Halloween, I'm excited to carve my first pumpkin and make chocolate covered apples!

Barry M - Black, Essie - Blanc, Revlon - Mango

I'm going to change the pumpkin nail into a spider as Thursday approaches! 

Should I add any other details? I'd love to see your Halloween nails!
