A2Z Nails - G is for.......Gold

 Hiya lovelies!  Just a quick post from me today, as I only have about 20 minutes to get this typed and posted.  It is Thursday though, so that means it's time for another A2Z post, and this week we're up to G is for Gold............

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.........

Born Pretty Store - 2mm Silver Spikes Review

*2 products in this post were provided in exchange for a 100% honest review.

Hiya lovelies!  I recently received 3 more items from Born Pretty Store to review, and today I'm showing you the 2mm x 2.5mm silver spikes.  It's no secret that I love using my larger spikes now and then, but they're completely impractical, so I was looking forward to trying out these smaller ones..........

52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge

 Hiya lovelies!  I'm back today with my mani for this weeks Pick 'n' Mix Challenge, and this week the prompts were "brown", and "book".  I decided to just go with the brown half of the prompt.  I only own a couple of browns, so didn't have many polishes to choose from, but I went with OPI - OPI Scores a Goal!, a lovely raisin cream with a stunning formula...........

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.........

MoYou Nails Review - Part 2

*Stamping plates and stamping polish were provided in exchange for a 100% honest review.

Hiya lovelies!  So, I was hoping to have this post up at least a few days ago, as you may have guessed from the Halloween-y vibe of the stripes, but tonsillitis is a cruel mistress, and I just haven't had the energy for large amounts of typing.  Still, better late than never, and there's still a mani here that isn't at all seasonal, so I hope you'll all forgive me this little seasonal faux pas.......

52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have my mani for this weeks 52 week pick 'n' mix challenge.  The prompts this week are 3 dark colours, and 80's.  I chose to just go with the 80's prompt for this mani, since I was struggling to find a way to put the 2 prompts together...........

52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge - 70's

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have my mani for this weeks 52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge.  The prompts for this week are 70's, and Grey + Colour.  I decided to just pick the 70's part, so I could do a red and black punk mani.  I know that some people associate punk more with the 80's than the 70's, but I like to think my mani is a celebration of the birth of punk, and therefore still very much in the 70's :p

A-Z of Polish: Z is for........Zoya!

 Hiya lovelies!  So, can you believe we're on the very last letter of the alphabet now!?  I can't believe I've been doing this challenge for practically half a year, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long.  If, like me, you're sad that this challenge is over, don't fret, as we will be starting A2Z next week.  Yup, we're doing the whole alphabet AGAIN! :D  It's going to be a little different this time though - if the last one was the A-Z of Polish, then this one is more like the A-Z of mani's.  Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a word, and our job will be to interpret that word in any way we see fit.  We also have a few new ladies joining us, so expect a post from me to introduce the new A2Z, and everyone involved in it :D

MoYou Nails Review #2 - Part 1

*Products in this post were provided in exchange for review

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......

Crumpet's Nail Tarts 52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge

Hiya lovelies!  An exciting post today, as this is my first mani in a brand new challenge! It's the 52 Week Pick 'n' Mix Challenge, being run through the Crumpet's Nail Tarts facebook page.  (You can find us here if you'd like to join in).  As the name would suggest, the challenge runs for a total of 52 whole weeks.  Each week, there are 2 prompts; one is a colour prompt, and the other is a pattern, or style of nail art.  Each week, you can pick to do a separate mani for each prompt, one mani that combines both, just one of the prompts, or even sit it out altogether that week if you need to.  Debbie was trying really hard to find a way of allowing more freedom in this nail art challenge, while still keeping some form of structure, and boy oh boy did she find it.  I love the way this is being run, it's such a good idea!

A-Z of Polish: X is for........Xtreme Wear!

Hiya lovelies!  I'm back today with my post for this weeks A-Z of Polish.  We're up to X this week, and since I didn't have any polishes in my stash with names starting with X, I decided to do Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear instead.........

Colour me Crazy: Contrasting

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have my final mani the Colour me Crazy challenge, and the prompt is Contrasting.  Totally unplanned, but today's mani features the same polish I used in last weeks Complimentary mani - Barry M Key Lime......

Colour me Crazy (and caught up): Complimenting

 Hiya lovelies!  Today I have another catch up mani for the Colour me Crazy challenge.  I keep missing a week of this challenge, but I'm determined to get them all done.  This week is actually the last one anyway, so I have just one more mani to show you after today.  Just in time to start the Crumpet's Nail Tarts 52 week challenge! :D

Born Pretty Store Review - Part 1

*One product in this post was provided in exchange for a 100% honest review

Hiya lovelies!  I was recently contacted by Born Pretty Store and offered the chance to review a couple of items from their online store.  If you're not already familiar with BPS, they are a website selling all sorts of nail art stuff, jewellery, clothing, some pretty cool phone cases and tonnes more, as well as their own nail polish lines.  They offered me a choice of 2 items from their store, so I picked a stamping plate, and some neon water decals.  Today I'm showing you the stamping plate.....

Colour me Crazy - Pastels

*The stamping plate in this mani was previously provided in exchange for a 100% honest review.

 Hiya lovelies!  Today I'm just about squeezing in my mani for this weeks Colour me Crazy challenge, and the prompt is Pastels.  A few weeks ago, Elicia from Deliciate Nails did this mani with this cute little cloud, inspired by @iscreamnails on Instagram, and I've been dying to try it out myself ever since.........

A-Z of Polish - U is for..... Unconditional Love

 Hiya lovelies, and welcome to another week of the A-Z of Polish.  This week we're up to the letter U, and this was the polish I chose today: Fancy Gloss - Unconditional Love, a pink to red thermal with gold  iridescent flecks.  I purchased this polish from Rainbow Connection UK ages ago, but it is still in stock at the moment........

Colour me Crazy Catch-up: Neon

 Hi again lovelies!  So, here is the second prompt of the Colour me Crazy challenge that I missed - Neon.  You guys have probably noticed already that I LOVE using neon nail polish, so I had to put something together for this prompt.......

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.....
