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..........

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.......

FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Rainbow (with tutorial)

Hiya lovelies!  As promised, I'm back today with my Theme Buffet mani for this week.  The prompt is rainbow, so I did some simple rainbow stripes.  I've put together a tutorial for this design as well - it's not particularly complex or anything, but I figured it would be good practise for me to do one anyway.............

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......

Finger Food's Theme Buffet - Week 10 - Dots & Stripes

Hi guys!  Now that I've fully recovered from the NAGG challenge, I will be participating in Finger Food's Theme Buffet once again.  The prompt for this week is Dots & Stripes, and while I normally like to do it on Sunday, the prompts are open right up until the next one, so I figured I could still do a mani for this one.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 17 - Animation

Hi guys, and welcome to Monday.  Hope you all had a great weekend!  Today is Day 17 of the NAGG, and the prompt for today is Animation.  This is a prompt I was really looking forward to, as I knew from the word go that I would be doing a Nightmare Before Christmas mani. :D

Sunday Spotlight: W7 - Gold Mirror & Blue Mirror

Hi guys, I'm back already with this weeks Sunday Spotlight, and the brand today is W7.  I have 2 polishes from the mirror collection to show you, with some blingy nail art to boot!
This will be a picture heavy post.

Textured Gradient Tape Mani

 Hi guys today I have some nail art for you - this mani combines 3 of my favourite things at the moment, gradients, texture and tape.  And, I liberated a few things from my untried rack while I was at it. :)

Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas everyone!  Just wanted to do a quick post to show you guys the nails I had on yesterday for Christmas Eve.  This is Sally Hansen CSM - Gilded Lily, stamped with A-England - Perceval and MoYou Festive 03.  The glitter accent nail is Dragonglass Nails - Animal which has been sitting in my untried box.  I will be swatching this polish soon, I really like it!

Tomorrow, I will be going out for a meal with extended family, but I should have one last Christmas mani for you later in the day.  Christmas is always spread across 3 days in my family, so I still count tomorrow as Christmas :)
Hope you all had a fab day,and I'll see you guys tomorrow :)

#33DC - Day 28 - Lines

Hi guys, sorry today's post is a little bit late, but I'm back with Day 28 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is lines.  This is another mani I have had planned out in my head for ages, but when it came time to actually sit down and do it, I had a different idea that I liked more. 

#33DC - Day 27 - a mani with 3 patterns

Hi guys, I'm back today with Day 27 of the #33DC, and the prompt for today is a mani with 3 patterns.  I think this was a hard prompt to be honest.  You want some continuity between each nail, but you don't want it to look too busy at the same time.  I actually did this mani in totally different colours at first, but I wasn't very keen on it, so I decided to try again last night with a simpler colour scheme.   I'm glad I did, as I much prefer this version, but I do have photos of both in this post : )

Indy's Indies - Crushed Candy Cane.

 Hi guys, today I have another gorgeous polish from Indy's Indies Christmas collection to show you.  This is Crushed Candy Cane, and I was lucky enough to win a mini bottle of this in Danielle's recent giveaway : D  I am in love with this polish, it does seem very Christmassy, but at the same time I think you could wear this all year round. 

#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 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.

#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.
