Guest Post @ Pocket Money Polishes

Hi guys, I'm afraid I don't have anything to post on here today, since I didn't have time to put anything together for the neverending pile challenge last night.  I am however, guest posting for a lovely friend of mine, Charlie from Pocket Money Polishes today, so if you'd like to see this mani in all it's sparkly glory, you can do so here.  :D

A-Z of Polish - G is for Gravity

*Purchased by me.

Hi guys!  Today is Thursday, which means it's time for another post in the A-Z of Polish.  In case you missed A-F, this is a weekly series I'm doing with Charlie from Pocket Money Polishes, Kerrie from PishPosh and Polish, Anna from AnnaBean's Nails and Emma from Imagination in Colour.  To see everyone's mani's you can visit the hub page here.
 Today's letter is G, and my polish is another Moyra holographic.  This is Gravity (255), a lilac linear holographic.

How I store my stash!

Hi guys!  Hope you're all having a good week so far.  No nails today, so instead we're going to be talking about how I store all my bits and pieces :D I do already have a stash page, but it's a bit out of date now, and it only includes actual nail polishes, not any of the other things that come with a polish addiction.  Since there's a "Snoop in Your Stash" event going on this week in a Facebook group I'm in, I thought it was about time I updated it!  This will be a pretty long post, so grab a cuppa if you're not already armed with one, and we'll get into it.........

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Untried Stamping Plate (+ catch up mani)

Hi guys, today I have 2 prompts from the Neverending Pile Challenge to share with you - today's untried stamping plate prompt, and the gradient prompt from last Wednesday.  It was supposed to be 3 mani's, but I seem to have lost the folder for the third one :(  So, lets start with today's mani first.  My untried stamping plate was PUEEN53 from the buffet set.  The whole plate is newspaper headlines, so a newspaper mani it was..................

FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Nature

Hi guys, and welcome to another week of FingerFood's Theme Buffet.  Unfortunately, I missed last weeks prompt (galaxies), which is a shame as I love galaxy mani's, but I'm joining back in this week for "Nature".  Today's nails were inspired by this mani from the lovely Cazzy @ SpecialGirl Nails.  I've wanted to do a  leadlight mani with that stamp since I first saw Cazzy's post, so it was really nice to sit down and actually do them...........

MoYou Nails Review

*Products in this post were sent to me in exchange for a 100% honest review.

Hi guys :) I was recently contacted by Selina from MoYou Nails (not to be confused with the other MoYou, which is a completely different company altogether), and offered the chance to review a few of their items.  Being the stamping junkie I am, how could I possibly say no.............

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Untried Nail Art Supplies

*Purchased by me.

 Hi guys, I'm back again for another day of the neverending pile challenge :) Today's prompt is untried nail art supplies, and my supplies are striping tape in different widths, which I got from Sparkly Nails here, and some large round studs I got from ebay.........

A-Z of Polish - F is for Fantasy Fire

Hi guys!  So, that catching up on the few posts I've missed hasn't exactly come together yet, so sorry about that guys and gals.  I do have a quick post for you all today, and as it's Thursday that means we've reached another letter in the A-Z of Polish weekly series.  (Remember, you can check out the hub page here to see everyone's contributions for all the previous weeks)  Today's letter is F, and as I didn't seem to have many polishes beginning with F in my stash, this was an easy choice - MaxFactor - Fantasy Fire..........

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Skittles

 Hi guys!  I'm really sorry about my impromptu absence for the last few days.  The last week or two has been a bit crazy for me, and all the early mornings and overtime in this heat has done a number on me.  Falling behind with challenges is stressing me out though, so I'm going to be catching up this week, even if I need to leave out the whole waffle part that normally goes with my mani's :)

E is for Espresso, Elle, and Eva

 Hi guys, sorry today's post is a bit late, and also short.  The time just sort of got away from me today.  Nonetheless, it is Thursday, which means another instalment of the A-Z of polish. Today's letter is E, and my 3 E polishes are Barry M - Espresso, and 2true Sequins - Eva (blue), and Elle (pink)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Giveaway/Blog Sale

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is to use a polish you won in a giveaway, or bought from a blog sale.  A little while back, you may remember the wonderful Debbie from The Crumpet reached a million pageviews, and held the most EPIC giveaway ever.  Well, I was lucky enough to be one of the 32 winners, and this is the prize I picked - Pretty Serious - They Came From Beyond Space II collection, very kindly donated by Sally Magpie's.  I honestly wasn't expecting to receive the whole collection, and was just blown away by Sally's generosity when I unwrapped them!  I can't thank these 2 ladies enough, so I'll just say ladies, you fucking rock! Thank you! <3 <3
*In case you hadn't guessed already, this is one picture-heavy post ;)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Texture

*Purchased by me :)
Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is texture, and you guys know I love me some texture, so you'd think I'd be all over this with some awesome nail art, but alas - no!  Over the last couple of weeks, me and the Mr have been working a lot of extra hours, and it's taking it's toll on me at the moment.  I don't want to push myself into the dreaded "blogger burnout", so I'm taking it easy with a B-E-A-U-tiful swatch instead.  Wednesdays post is a bit of a mammoth too, so I hope you can forgive the distinct lack of nail art around here this week :)

FingerFood's Theme Buffet - For Scarlett

Hi guys, and welcome to another week of FingerFood's Theme Buffet.  This week is a special one, as it's Sam's daughter, Scarlett's birthday on Thursday, and our prompt is For Scarlett :D I seriously love this idea, it's such a sweet thing of Sam to do for her daughter, and I'm immensely happy to be a part of it.  It also doesn't hurt that Scarlett is one cool little lady, just like her mum! :D

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Glow in the Dark

 Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is glow in the dark.  I don't actually have any gitd untrieds, so I improvised by using an untried neon topper in a glow in the dark mani :D

A-Z of Polish - D is for..... Denim and Dimension X

 Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the A-Z of Polish weekly series.  Today's letter is 'D' and I didn't have anywhere near as much choice as I did for C, so today's mani is quite a simple one.  My 2 'D' polishes are Barry M - Denim, and Pretty Serious - Dimension X......

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Holo

 *Purchased by me :D

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  Today's prompt is Holo, which is the perfect chance for me to show you one of the Moyra holographics I bought recently.  You may remember a little while back, I reviewed 3 polishes from this brand, a red metallic, a purple gel effect polish, and a neon yellow texture.  After being very impressed with the 3 I was sent for review, I couldn't resist putting in an order and trying a few of the others.........

Corset Nail Art Tutorial

Hey guys! As promised I have a tutorial for the corset nails above that I posted on Sunday for FingerFood's Theme Buffet. Hope you enjoy it :)
* this is a pretty long post, as you can imagine!

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Vampy

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the Neverending Pile Challenge.  The prompt for today is Vampy, which is something you don't often see in my untrieds, since I love them too much to leave them sitting there.  I did, however, have a flakie, so I paired that with some vampy undies for today's mani.

FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Oriental ( Babymetal inspired corsets)

 Hi guys, and welcome to another week of FingerFood's Theme Buffet.  The prompt for today is oriental, and I was a bit stumped on what to do for this at first, as I didn't fancy doing anything too obvious.  Then I remembered a strange-but-cool Japanese band I came across the other week - Babymetal, and decided to base my mani on the style of their stage outfits. :D

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Use as many untrieds in one mani as you can

 Hi guys, sorry today's post is a bit late - I got a new phone today, and found myself somewhat distracted downloading apps-a-plenty :)  One of those is IG though, so soon you'll be able to follow me there if you like!   Anyway, the prompt for today is to use as many untrieds as possible, and I managed to knock out a passable 8 in this mani.  From the numbers being thrown around in the Facebook group, there are going to be some crazy mani's popping up today, these ladies are talking in the 20's!

C is for Carter, Caroline, Christy and Cameo Crush

Hey guys, and welcome to another week of the A-Z of polish.  In case you missed the first couple of posts, this is a weekly series I am taking part in with a few of my fellow British nail bloggers, where we will be using polishes starting with a different letter of the alphabet each week.  There's also a hub page on Pocket Money Polishes where you can view everyone's mani's...............
