A2Z - C is for Copy Cat

Hiya lovelies!  So, today we're up to C in the A2Z, and the prompt for this week is Copy Cat.  Now, I really really loved the outlined chevrons mani that Charlie did for A, (here) so I decided to copy her, but still trying to put my own spin on it.........

A-Z of Polish: Q is for.....Quirk!

 Hiya lovelies!  Sorry I didn't get this post up yesterday.  I took another little trip to Ikea yesterday afternoon, and spent the rest of the evening putting together my workstation with my other half.  On the plus side, I bought my workstation! :D I'm not showing you guys just yet though, I still have some bits and pieces I want to get, and I still have a few little bits of furniture that need to be shifted around a bit.  I will be doing a blog post about it when the whole corner's finished though :D

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Boutique

 Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the Neverending Pile Challenge.  The prompt for today is Boutique, just like a lot of the other Glittah' Pirates, I wasn't too sure exactly which brands are classed as boutique.  Luckily for me, I had an untried on my rack that actually says "Boutique Nail Lacquer" on the front of the bottle :D

Tara's Talons - Too Girlie Girlie (designed by me!)

 Hi guys, today I have a Tara's Talons polish to show you that I'm very excited about.  Recently, Tara ran a competition to design a polish for her Fan Collection, and receive a bottle of that polish, and I was lucky enough to have my idea chosen as one of the winners.  How awesome is that!?

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 15 - Round & Square

 Hi guys and welcome to Day 15 of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is Round & Square, which seemed like the perfect prompt to bust out the circle glitters.  Unfortunately, this seems to be one of those manis that looks better in real life than in a macro photo.....

Indy's Indies - Baubles, and Snow is Falling!

 Hi everyone, and welcome to Friday : )  Today, I have some more UK Indies for you to feast your eyes upon, and these 2 are from Indy's Indies Christmas collection. I actually bought 4, so will be showing you the other 2 sometime later in the week.   I love Christmas, I'm definitely a 'creature comforts' kind of girl, and love cuddling up in front of the telly, drinking tea, and hiding from the weather in cosy pyjamas with the OH.  Plus, everything becomes sparkly and pretty at Christmas; what glitter addict wouldn't love it? : )

#33DC - Day 17 - Artwork with your favourite brand

 Hello gorgeous people!  Today is Day 17 of the #33DC, and that means we're more than half way through : (  The prompt for today is to do some artwork with your favourite brand.  For me that has got to be Barry M.  They are always bang on trend, have great formula's, an extensive shade range and great value too.  I know the Sequin Effects were a massive let down, however Nails Inc beaded polishes look exactly the same, and they're nearly 3 times as pricey.  I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions from that!

UK Indie Month - Tara's Talons - Atagatis

Hi guys, I'm back with yet another stunning UK Indie polish to show you today.  This beauty is Atagatis, courtesy of the wonderful Tara's Talons.  I actually bought this as part of an any 4 mini's for £9.50 deal, but I really regretted only getting 5ml of this, so I've actually purchased 2 more mini bottles since : )  Atagatis is a rainbow mix of different sizes of hexes and dots, with large light blue hexes, and large holo peach circles.  I love those circles so much, they shine like crazy!

UK Indie Month - Nail Lacquer UK - Princess Halloween

 

Hi again : D  This is the second lovely UK Indie I have to show you today which is Princess Halloween from Nail Lacquer UK.  This is the 1st polish I have bought from Nail Lacquer UK, and I love it.  I also bought a 4ml grab bag at the same time, and AJ sent me the gorgeous Ice Queen, a stunning flakie topper.  Great choice!  And her mini's are the cutest little OPI shape bottles, with a hand-made charm around the neck.  Mine had a snowflake.  Seriously adorable, my fiancee was looking at me like I was mad because I kept saying 'awww look'   : )

UK Indie Month - Hairy Legs London - Monsters Boo!

Hello lacquer lovers! Today I am continuing with UK Indie Month, and I will be double-posting today.  There will be a bit of that going on until November, as I'm trying to post as many UK indies as possible in between the 33 day challenge and Fragrance Direct Friday which only leaves me with Tues, Thurs and Sunday to use!  Anyway, this beauty I have here is Monsters Boo! from Hairy Legs London, which is actually a replacement polish for Monstrous Crater.  The original developed a little reflective curling, and Sanita took them straight off the shelves, and introduced this polish instead.  That says a lot about how much she cares about the quality of her products, and the replacement is equally stunning, and very similar too.  Consider me impressed : D

UK Indie Month - Iconic Effect - Purple Paradise

Hi guys, today I have another stunning UK Indie to show you.  This one is Purple Paradise from Iconic Effect, which is a stunning purple glitter topper.In Kerry and Kelly's own words, Purple Paradise is a glitter top coat with various shades and sizes of pinks and purples, including some holographic glitters and large fuchsia dots.
