Just a routine two-year-and-five-month check-in

So, you guys may remember that in my last post, I said that I hadn't gotten around to posting here for so long because I suck.  Weeeellll...I still suck.  No surprise there, really.  But, I am sucking with even prettier nails these days, so I figured maybe I would pop in once a week and show you a set or two.  Wanna see.....?

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

FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Skittles

Hi lovelies, and welcome to another week of FingerFood's Theme Buffet.  The prompt this week is Skittles, and usually when I think of a skittle mani, my brain thinks, same colour scheme, with different designs.  This week I wanted to be a little different though, so I decided to do the same design in different colours......

Tri Polish Tuesdays

 Hi guys!  Since today is the start of a brand new month, I figured this would be a great time to jump back in to the Tri Polish Tuesdays challenge, which is run through The Crumpet's Nail Tarts facebook group.  For anyone who's not familiar with this challenge, the rules are as follows:
Each month there are 3 chosen colours, and every Tuesday we post a mani using these colours, plus the allowed extras; black, white, gold, silver and glitter toppers. At least one mani within the month must contain all 3 colours, while the others must contain at least two of the chosen colours.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 20 - Pop Culture

Hi guys, and welcome to day 20 of the NAGG challenge.  That means there's only 8 days left after today :(  On the upside, today's prompt is one that makes me very happy - Pop Culture!  This is always a good prompt, as you can always pick something that you really like.....

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 15 - Round & Square

 Hi guys and welcome to Day 15 of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is Round & Square, which seemed like the perfect prompt to bust out the circle glitters.  Unfortunately, this seems to be one of those manis that looks better in real life than in a macro photo.....

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 6 - Neon

 Hi guys, and welcome to Day 6 of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is neon, which gave me a chance to do an idea I've had in my head for a while now - a tape mani starring Indy's Indies - Rocket :D

Guest Post at The Crumpet

I should be back to a normal schedule by the weekend. :)  I have some really exciting news to share with you today though! I have the honour of appearing in a guest post on The Crumpet today :D  I can hardly believe it myself.  I would love if you guys could go and check it out here.

#33DC - Day 33 - Freestyle/recreate someone's mani

 Hi guys, I'm back again for the last day of the 33 day challenge.  This has been a lot of fun, and I'm so sad that it's finished.  The prompt for today is freestyle or recreate someone else's mani.  After spending about an hour on the pinterest board yesterday, I realised there was no way I could choose just 1 to recreate, so I decided to take the freestyle option.  I had received a little package from A-England that morning, containing the stunning Briar Rose, so I had to use that in this mani.

#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.
