The Nail Arcade Review - Part 3

*Glitters were provided in exchange for a 100% honest review.

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have the third part to my review for The Nail Arcade.  Today I'm using these little ellipse shaped holographic glitters.........

Colour me Crazy - Pink

Hiya lovelies!  So, since I've been mostly absent for the last few weeks, I've fallen a bit behind on challenges I was participating in.  I'm not going to try and catch up on the prompts I've missed, but I am jumping back in as and when I can, starting with the British Nail Bloggers Colour me Crazy challenge.  This week we're on pink, and I did a pink and silver mosaic design......

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.

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Untried Nail Art Supplies

*Purchased by me.

 Hi guys, I'm back again for another day of the neverending pile challenge :) Today's prompt is untried nail art supplies, and my supplies are striping tape in different widths, which I got from Sparkly Nails here, and some large round studs I got from ebay.........

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Giveaway/Blog Sale

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is to use a polish you won in a giveaway, or bought from a blog sale.  A little while back, you may remember the wonderful Debbie from The Crumpet reached a million pageviews, and held the most EPIC giveaway ever.  Well, I was lucky enough to be one of the 32 winners, and this is the prize I picked - Pretty Serious - They Came From Beyond Space II collection, very kindly donated by Sally Magpie's.  I honestly wasn't expecting to receive the whole collection, and was just blown away by Sally's generosity when I unwrapped them!  I can't thank these 2 ladies enough, so I'll just say ladies, you fucking rock! Thank you! <3 <3
*In case you hadn't guessed already, this is one picture-heavy post ;)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Texture

*Purchased by me :)
Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is texture, and you guys know I love me some texture, so you'd think I'd be all over this with some awesome nail art, but alas - no!  Over the last couple of weeks, me and the Mr have been working a lot of extra hours, and it's taking it's toll on me at the moment.  I don't want to push myself into the dreaded "blogger burnout", so I'm taking it easy with a B-E-A-U-tiful swatch instead.  Wednesdays post is a bit of a mammoth too, so I hope you can forgive the distinct lack of nail art around here this week :)

A-Z of Polish - D is for..... Denim and Dimension X

 Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the A-Z of Polish weekly series.  Today's letter is 'D' and I didn't have anywhere near as much choice as I did for C, so today's mani is quite a simple one.  My 2 'D' polishes are Barry M - Denim, and Pretty Serious - Dimension X......

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Had to have it, still haven't worn it!

 Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is had to have it, still haven't worn it.  I think this is something that most of us are guilty of - there's always some polish you just had to have, that gets lost amongst all the other untrieds.  My polish is the incredible Lux by Zoya.  I was dying to get my hands on this, but didn't want to wear it until I knew I could keep it on for at least 2 days - pretty tough for someone who, at the moment, can't go a single day without changing their mani!  It's like a little evening ritual for me, my chill time at the end of the day :)

Moyra comes to the UK! -swatches, nail art and review

*Products in this post were provided in exchange for an honest review.

Hi guys, today I have a post that I'm very excited about, as I have the honour of introducing you to a brand that's just launching in the UK - Moyra.  Moyra are a European brand who stock an extensive range of nail polishes as well as nail tech supplies.  They're currently only available through their Facebook page, but they're hoping to have their website up very soon.  They are on introductory prices starting at a very reasonable £3 at the moment though!
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.

Rimmel Sweetie Crush - Candyfloss Cutie & Violet Swizzle

Hi guys!  Today I have swatches of 2 of the new(ish) Rimmel Sweetie Crush textures.  These are sparkly textured pastels, with a bit of a frostiness to them too.  Like most of you, I'm not really keen on frosts, so  I wasn't sure whether I would like these or not, but I have to say, I came to really like the finish once it was dry.......

FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Week 13 - Monochrome/Mothers Day

Hi guys!  I'm back today with week 13 of FingerFood's Theme Buffet.  Today we have a choice of 2 prompts, monochrome and Mother's Day, so I did a monochrome mani in my mum's favourite colour, purple.  I should also be doing her nails for her later on tonight :D And happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there, I hope you have a fab day and your kids spoil you rotten (so long as they're able of course)

Tri-Polish Tuesdays (well, almost!)

Hi guys! Today is the last Tuesday of March, so next week we will have a new set of colours for the Tri-Polish Challenge - pink, yellow and blue.  Not sure what I'm going to do with those yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out!  I will also be starting The Never-Ending Pile Challenge in April though, so I may be dropping in and out as I can.
*I kind of forgot that we're not allowed extra colours other than black, white, silver and gold, and used pink. (like an idiot!) :/  Sorry!

Dance Legend - Sahara Top Coat review

Hi guys!  Today I have a swatch and review of the Dance Legend Sahara Top Coat.  This is a topcoat that you can apply over any base colour to turn it in to a glittery texture.  I bought my bottle from Rainbow Connection, but you can order directly from their site, as well as many other stockists that are listed on the website.  They are a Russian brand though, so if you order directly, shipping will be a long time........

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......

Saturday Spotlight - 2true Sequins (& Nail Art of course!)

Hi again!  In today's post I have another gorgeous texture to show you from 2true.  This is Elle, a gorgeous candy pink textured glitter polish, with a few larger silver hex glitters.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 23 - Oils (Texture)

Hi guys, hope your weekend has been fab so far.  Today is Day 23 of the NAGG challenge, and the prompt is: Oils (Textures/Brushstrokes).  Since I had Zoya - Carter sitting in my untrieds, I had to pick texture :)

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 3 - Warm vs. Cool

Hi guys, and welcome to Day 3 of the NAGG challenge.  The prompt for today is Warm vs Cool.  This prompt can be interpreted many ways, as any colour can be warm or cool, but I decided to keep things really simple with a cool blue and a warmer pink.

Texture + Multichrome = ??Awesome??

Hi, me again!  Here are, as promised earlier, the results of my texture + multichrome = ??awesome?? experiment.  There are a fair few pictures for this too, so I'll put the rest after the jump like I usually do.
