52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge - Dark Green & Camo, and Red & Gold

Hiya lovelies!  So, it's still very quiet around here, but today I have 2 mani's to share with you.  I painted a mani for last weeks Pick 'n' Mix challenge prompt, but I didn't get around to posting it in time, so I figured I might as well post it along with my mani for this weeks prompt.........

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..................

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Most Expensive

Hi guys, and welcome to another week of the neverending pile challenge.  Today's prompt is most expensive, so I picked the 2 priciest untrieds in my stash - A-England - Ophelia (£9) and MaxFactor - Fantasy Fire (£5).  I know £5 is not exactly expensive, but it is quite pricey for such a tiny bottle.  I don't even know how much is in it, I couldn't find it written on the bottle anywhere, but if I had to guess, I'd say no more than 6 or 7ml........

A-England Stamping

 Hi guys!  As promised I'm back with some nail art that was actually painted this year :D This poor mani has been sitting in my Ready to Post folder for ages now, not because I didn't like it, but because it didn't seem to fit anywhere in the schedule.  I figured it was about time it got it's turn in the spotlight......

Purple Roses for BEAT (Eating Disorders Awareness Week)

Hi guys!  This week (24th Feb - 2nd March) is Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and one of the lovely ladies from a Facebook group I'm in, Emily, suggested we do purple mani's this week in recognition of the ribbon colour used by BEAT.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 10 - Night Sky

Hi guys, and welcome to Day 10 of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is Night Sky, and this is one I have been looking forward to for ages.  I knew straight away that I was going to use the fairy/moon images from MoYou Fairytale 01.  

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 2 - Jewel Tones

Hi guys, welcome to Day 2 of the NAGG challenge!  The prompt for today is one I was looking forward to right away - Jewel Tones.  I love a good Jewel Tone, and already had this mani planned out before I joined the challenge.  After all, what's better than an A-England?  That's right - 2 A-Englands!

A-England - Briar Rose

 Hi guys, just want to start by saying that I'm really sorry. I promised you 1 more Christmas mani yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to take a photo of it before going out for a meal with my family.  After the meal, I headed over to the shops since I was already in town, and had a pretty epic shopping trip with my xmas vouchers.  Unfortunately, one of the things I bought was a Barry M Nail Art pen, and in the taxi home, I was doodling (very badly I might add) all over my mani with it before I realised I hadn't taken pictures......duh!  On the upside, I am liking the pen.............

Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas everyone!  Just wanted to do a quick post to show you guys the nails I had on yesterday for Christmas Eve.  This is Sally Hansen CSM - Gilded Lily, stamped with A-England - Perceval and MoYou Festive 03.  The glitter accent nail is Dragonglass Nails - Animal which has been sitting in my untried box.  I will be swatching this polish soon, I really like it!

Tomorrow, I will be going out for a meal with extended family, but I should have one last Christmas mani for you later in the day.  Christmas is always spread across 3 days in my family, so I still count tomorrow as Christmas :)
Hope you all had a fab day,and I'll see you guys tomorrow :)

Tara's Talons - Heads Will Roll

 Hi guys, I'm back today with another amazeballs UK Indie to show you.  This is Heads Will Roll by Taras Talons, which as you can see, is skull and cross bone glitters in all sorts of colours in a clear base.  I am very partial to skull glitters, so this baby jumped in my basket the second I clapped eyes on it.

A-England - Bridal Veil

Hi guys, I'm back today with a stunning A-England polish to share with you.  This is Bridal Veil, and this was an early Christmas present from the Mr.  He got me Red & Black from the Harmonies collection, which is Bridal Veil & Perceval for £15.  I love that Adina has introduced these duos/trios, they're great value, and she has a holiday grotto section too now, with some more great deals. 
I do have quite a weak spot for A-England's, and Adina is making it very easy for me to indulge myself! 

Candy Canes with A-England.

Hi guys, I'm back today with some festive nail art to show you.  The base for this mani is A-England - Perceval, and boy is he a stunner!  I was pretty sure I took photos of this before stamping over it, but since I can't find them anywhere, I must have forgotten. I don't mind though, it just gives me a reason to put it on again!

Indy's Indies - Tinsel

*Products discounted in exchange for review.
Hi guys, I'm back today with one more Christmas polish from Indy's Indies to show you.  This is Tinsel, which is a mix of short red bar glitter, and gold and silver holo longer bar glitters.  I know that there are a number of people with a disliking for bar glitters (personally I don't feel too strongly either way), but I really like this for a festive mani.  It looks just like tinsel, and the holo from the gold and silver bars is pretty impressive, so there will be a little video clip at the end so you guys can see it!

#33DC - Day 33 - Freestyle/recreate someone's mani

 Hi guys, I'm back again for the last day of the 33 day challenge.  This has been a lot of fun, and I'm so sad that it's finished.  The prompt for today is freestyle or recreate someone else's mani.  After spending about an hour on the pinterest board yesterday, I realised there was no way I could choose just 1 to recreate, so I decided to take the freestyle option.  I had received a little package from A-England that morning, containing the stunning Briar Rose, so I had to use that in this mani.

#33DC - Day 31 - art with your 3 favourite polishes

Hey guys, I'm back today with Day 31 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is art with your 3 favourite polishes.  It was very hard to decide which 3 they would be, as I seem to change my favourites on a daily basis.  In the end, I chose 3 that were in my top 5, and have seen a lot of use.

Indy's Indies - What's your favourite colour?

*Products in this post were discounted in exchange for review.
Hi guys, today I have another stunning polish from Indy's Indies to show you, this is What's Your Favourite Colour?  This was a Limited Edition and is currently sold out on etsy, but Danielle has hinted that she may add a couple more to the shop over the weekend, so make sure you stalk her etsy and/or facebook if you would like to snag one for yourself.

A-England - Lady of the Lake

Hi guys, today I have a swatch of a stunning polish that has been sitting in my vault waiting to be posted for a while.  This is A-England - Lady of the Lake, and this was the gem of the month for October.  After checking the website though, it hasn't been updated yet, so if you're really quick you may still be able to get it for £6 with free UK shipping here. : D

Nails Inspire - Nail Art with Strawberry Jellie

 Hello again gorgeous people!  I'm back with my third and final post of the day, and this is the nail art I did over Nails Inspire - Strawberry Jellie.  I was going to do a jelly sandwich with this, but after trying it over the thumb nail, the blue shimmer took over the design completely.  Luckily, I took some pictures before hand, as I thought it may turn out that way.  (Not that I'm complaining, that's why I love it!)

#33DC - Day 11 - 3D

 Hi everyone, happy hump day!  I'm back again for Day 11 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is 3D.  I don't normally do a lot of 3D nails, mostly because I can't stop picking at them when I do.  However, since this is a challenge, I decided to go for glittery stud-fest.  And why not!
