A-Z of Polish - L is for Lincoln Square Lavender

Hi guys :D  Since today is Thursday, it's time for another A-Z of polish mani.  This week we're up to the letter L, and the polish I picked is NYC Quick Dry - Lincoln Square Lavender.  My lovely mum spotted a bunch of reduced NYC's in the local chemist, so she came home with 4 of them - 2 for her and 2 for me :D  I guess my addiction's rubbing off on her too!

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of The Neverending Pile Challenge.  The prompt for today is drugstore, and my untried is NYC - Greenwich Village, a gorgeous deep pink cream that almost leans towards a coral pink.........

The Neverending Pile Challenge is here!

Hi guys, how has your Monday been? Today sees the start of a brand-spanking new challenge, being hosted by the fabulous Missy from Gnarly Gnails - The Neverending Pile Challenge.  This is an extremely laid back challenge, as the point of it is just to use all the unloved, untried polishes we all can't seem to stop buying! Everybody's welcome to drop in and out as they can, and you don't have to do nail art either, it can be just a straight-up swatch if that's what you want to do.  If you'd like to join in too, you can do so by requesting to join the Facebook group, The Glittah Pirates.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 19 - Game Night (San Diego Chargers)

Hi guys and girls!  I'm back again with Day 19 of the NAGG challenge, and the prompt for today is Game Night.  There are a few ways of interpreting this prompt, but to me, game night means American football!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 4 - Monochrome

 Hi guys, and welcome to Day 4 of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is Monochrome.  I chose to go with shades of blue and some funky 80's stamping.  You'll probably find that a lot of my challenge mani's include stamping, but I have made an effort to chuck in some freehand stuff too for all the non-stampers out there.

2true Glitterati & NYC stamping

Hi guys, sorry about the brief hiatus, I have the flu at the moment and really didn't feel like posting anything yesterday.  I hope you didn't miss me too much, as my posting may be a little sporadic over the next week or so while I get better.  Today, I have some nail art I did a few weeks back with 2 very cheap polishes.

#33DC - Day 16 - South America


Hi guys and girls.  I'm back today for Day 16 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is South America.  I was totally stumped on this prompt for ages, and I ended up asking the rest of the Crumpets Nail Tarts on facebook to help me out with inspiration.  I had so many great suggestions from loads of ladies which I'm truly grateful for, they were all amazing.  However, as is usually the way for me, I promptly had my own idea after asking for help!  I know you may all be wondering exactly how this mani is related to South America, and I promise I'll explain after the jump!

Fragrance Direct Friday (on Saturday)

Hi peeps, welcome to the weekend!  I'm back today for yet another instalment of Fragrance Direct Friday, and I have 3 polishes to show you.  First up is this yummy chocolate colour above by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, called Chocolate Nut - available here for just 99p (surprise surprise!))  This is a really nice brown with lots of golden shimmer.  I originally bought this polish just because I didn't own a single brown, but once I swatched this I really liked it.  It really does remind me of chocolate - I was hankering for some Galaxy while I painted these I can tell you!

#33DC - Day 12 - Pattern from your home.

 Hi lovely people!  Welcome to Friday.  I'm back for Day 12 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is a pattern from your home.  I don't really have patterns in my home, but I knew as soon as I saw this prompt that I wanted to base my mani on my bedding.

Here we have, as promised earlier, the stamping over Ice Blue Cream.  This is the final matte version, but I have included a glossy picture after the jump.
