Colour me Crazy Catch-up: Black and White

Hiya lovelies!  As promised yesterday, I'm getting caught up on the couple of prompts I missed in the British Nail Bloggers Colour me Crazy challenge.  So, first up is Black and White, and as you can see I went with something very simple for this prompt.....

Barry M Rose & Zebra Nail Art

Hi guys, happy Friday!  Today I have a mani to show you that was inspired by this gorgeous mani by one of my favourite bloggers - Sam from FingerFood Nails.  I've wanted to do my own version of that mani for ages, and when I was looking at some of the new releases I've picked up from Barry M recently, I saw the perfect colour combo............

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

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-Z of Polish - B is for........Brave!

Helloooooo! And welcome to the second instalment of the A-Z series, with Imagination in Colour, Pocket Money Polishes, AnnaBean's Nails. This week, the gorgeous Kerrie from PishPosh and Polish will be joining in the fun too :D  Since there's a few of us now, we have created a little hub page where all the links will be added as they're posted.  Hopefully that makes it a little easier for you guys to navigate :)  So, today's letter is B, and my B polish is POP Beauty - Brave, a gorgeous neon blue with green shimmer........

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Indie

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the Neverending Pile Challenge.  Today's prompt is Indie, and my untried indie is Glitter Daze - Halo.  Halo is a mix of gold and iridescent shards, with fine gold holo glitter in a clear base.

* As a way for you guys to get a little more insight about me, and what I like, I'm trialing a new thing called the Free Friday Mosh.  At the end of every Friday's post, I'll stick a song at the end of the post for you to listen to. Mostly metal and rock, but there'll probably be a few randoms here and there too.  I'd love it if you guys could give me some feedback on this, although please don't comment just to insult the music I listen to, those comments won't even be published.  I don't mind negative feedback, as long as it's about the idea, not the song I picked today :D

Warning: this is a picture heavy post.....

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Pastel

 Hi guys, welcome to day 2 of the Neverending Pile Challenge.  The prompt for today is Pastel, and I went with KIKO Sugar Mat - 634, a pinky lilac creme texture.  I actually only had 2 pastels in my untrieds, so I decided to pick a non-pastel untried to stamp with, 2true Aphrodite, a highly pigmented deep pink foil.

OPI Sheer Tints & a double helping of nail art

Hi guys, sorry today's post is a little late, it took a lot longer to type than I expected it to!  I recently picked up some of the new OPI sheer tint mini's so I could have a go at the leadlight stamping technique, so today I will be sharing the results with you, as well as a bonus brushstroke/splodge mani........

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.

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......

Tri-Polish Tuesdays

 Hi guys!  Today is the first Tri-Polish Tuesday of April, so we have a new set of colours for this month - Blue, Pink and Yellow. (And, as always, the allowed extras of black, white, gold, silver and glitter toppers) With pink and yellow in the mix I just had to do another floral stamping mani, like this one from last week.

Finger Food's Theme Buffet - Week 12 - Freestyle

Hi guys, and welcome to week 12 of FingerFood's Theme Buffet.  Today's prompt is freestyle, so I decided to do a glittery floral mani, inspired by this amazing one-stroke mani by Charlotte @ So You Beauty.

Glow in the dark skulls make me very happy!

Hi guys! Today I have a really fun mani for you. I recently purchased a BYS Glow in the Dark Top Coat from ebay for £3.09 here, and I couldn't wait to try it out.  I wasn't sure how good it would be for the price, but I was actually quite impressed with it.......

Tri-Polish Tuesdays

Hi guys! I'm back today with the third Tri-Polish Tuesday of this month.  If you missed the first 2, the colours for this month are blue, green and purple, and I have another mani with all 3 colours........

Layered Textured Stamping

Hi guys, sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. I decided to shift around the furniture in my room so I can put a 5th spice rack up, as, once again, I've run out of space!  Unfortunately, I may have underestimated how long it was going to take me, so by the time I had finished it was a bit too late to post.  So, this mani is what I would have shown you then......
