Hiya lovelies! You may remember that a while back, I reviewed a couple of stamping plates and a nail polish from MoYou Nails.  Well, they've kindly offered me a few more items for review from their new releases......

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.....

MoYou London Rainbow Contest - Blue

Hiya lovelies!  So, as I mentioned yesterday, MoYou London are having a rainbow contest on Instagram this week, and I've decided to take part in a few of the prompts.  I did a mani for green day yesterday, but since I already had something to post, I'll be showing you that once the contest's finished.  Today however, is blue day, and this is what I came up with..........

Tri-Polish Tuesdays

 Hiya lovelies!  Today I have the final Tri-Polish Tuesdays mani for July, before we start again with a new trio of colours next week.  So, today I have some floral stamping decals that I put over Barry M - Greenberry.  I've wanted to do decals with this plate since I saw this gorgeous mani from Tracey @ Simply Into My Nails.  She also did a fab tutorial to go with this design, so if you want to learn stamping decals I would strongly urge you to check it out.........

A-Z of Polish: M is for My Vampire is Buff

 Hiya lovelies!  It's Thursday, which means time for another A-Z of Polish post.  This weeks letter is "M", and today I'm featuring the well-loved OPI - My Vampire is Buff.  This is a beautiful pale nude, that is the perfect neutral background for a busy design like today's.......

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!

One-Stroke Flowers

Hi guys, today I have some nail art to show you that I'm was really pleased with.  After months of drooling over Charlotte @ SoYou Beauty's amazing one-stroke mani's, I finally decided to give it another go a couple of nights ago.  I tried once before, well over a year ago, but it was a complete disaster.....

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

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...........

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

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.

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 28 - Art Nouveau

Hi guys, and welcome to the final day of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is Art Nouveau - something I know literally nothing about!  According to Wikipedia, it is "an international philosophy and style of art, architecture and applied art—especially the decorative arts—that was most popular during 1890–1910.  A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants, but also in curved lines. Architects tried to harmonize with the natural environment."

Iconic Effect - Princess Drops

 Hi guys, today I have another gorgeous UK Indie polish to show you.  This has been sitting in my untried box for quite a while now, but since Iconic Effect recently won the category of Brand of the year in the UK Indie awards held on Facebook, it seemed like a perfect time to wear it!

My first attempt at Stamping Decals

 Hi guys, today I have some nail art to show you using a new technique for me.  I had a go at doing stamping decals last week, and while this is far from perfect I was still pretty happy with how it turned out.  It looked amazing from a normal distance, but as always, macro photos show every tiny flaw that isn't really visible in real life.

#33DC - Day 24 - mani with the colour you own the most of.

 

 Hi guys, I'm back for Day 24 of the #33DC challenge, and the prompt for today is to do a mani with the colour I own the most of.  I thought this would mean a purple mani, but after a quick look on my polish spreadsheet, I have 41 purples, and 49 pinks.  I think this is largely because at the beginning of my polish obsession, I bought a few massive bundles of polish from ebay which included a lot of pinks.

#33DC - Day 13 - Chinese

 Hi guys and girls.  I'm back for Day 13 of the ~33DC and the prompt for today is Chinese.  My mani was inspired by the stunning East Lake Cherry Blossom Park in Wuhan City, China.  If you haven't seen it, do a google image search for it - it is really beautiful there.

#33DC - Day 10 - Flowers

 Hi guys, did you have a good weekend?  I'm back today with Day 10 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is flowers.  First, I would like to apologise for the grainy-ness of my photo's today.  I was fiddling around with my camera settings without really knowing what I was doing! (As you do)   I appear to have fixed it now, but not before taking this mani off : ( Hopefully, it's not too bad for you guys to look at.
