Classic Blue + Gold Snowflake Nails (+ Tutorial)

Hello everyone!

I love snowflake nails - so much so that I do them every year for christmas and this year is no exception. I opted for a gold and blue snowflake combo and kept it really simple but still really pretty and perfect for this time of year. There's a tutorial for this design on my YouTube channel which you can watch below too!

5 Easy Back To School Nail Designs! (+ Tutorial)

Hello everyone!

I know many of you are going back to school soon or have already started so I wanted to show you some easy designs you can do to impress your friends! They're not really school themed because I wanted to show you designs that you can wear at other times too (as not everyone can wear nail polish at school).

Also, there's a video tutorial down below! :)

Diamond Nails! #WNAC2016

Hello everyone!

The final theme for the Weekly Nail Art Challenge is 'Diamond'. I was looking forward to this theme because I wanted to use these diamond nail stickers I had. This is one of those designs that turned out just like I imagined in my head!

Zebra Nails! #glamnailschallengeaug

Hello everyone!

The final theme for the Glam Nails Challenge is 'Zebra' and I created these dry brush zebra nails!

Vinyl Nails! #glamnailschallengeaug

Hello everyone!

The next prompt for the Glam Nails Challenge is 'Vinyls'. I bought some nail vinyls a while ago and this was the perfect opportunity to try them out!

Pearl Nails! #WNAC2016

Hello everyone!

I'm running a bit behind with the nail art challenges I'm taking part in this month. The next theme for the Weekly Nail Art Challenge is 'Pearl'. I struggled with this theme because I had no idea how to create this effect on my nails. I don't have any pearl nail art decorations or any white pearlescent polish, but after a quick google search I found that you can get pearls in a range of colours such as purple, green and orange. This gave me the idea to use some of my duochrome polishes from the Barry M Aquarium collection for this design. After searching through my nail polish collection, I also found Rimmel Black Pearl which looks just like it's name suggests.

Opal Nails! #WNAC2016

Hello everyone!

The first prompt of the Weekly Nail Art Challenge is Opal and this is the design I did!

Summer Vibes Nail Art! BP-77 Stamping Plate Review

Hello everyone!

I buy pretty much all of my nail art supplies from Born Pretty Store and they were kind enough to let me pick out some things to review, the first of which is the BP-77 stamping plate*. I really love this simple but bold design I created and it's definitely perfect for summer!

Winter Gradient Nails + Tutorial

WNAC2015: Magenta and Navy

Hello everyone!

So this weeks WNAC design is more than a week late but here it is. The prompt was Magenta and Navy. It didn't turn out as summery as I would have liked mainly because my navy blue polish is so dark it looks almost black in the photos!

Night Time Palm Tree Nails

Hello everyone!

You've probably seen palm tree nails before with the classic sunset gradient and black silhouette of the palm trees. I decided to put a twist on this and opted for a blue ombre background to look like the night sky and some white palm trees (who knows why they're white? Bioluminescent palm trees maybe...)

1 Year Blogiversary - Galaxy Nails!

Hello everyone!

Today is my one year Blogiversary and I was so surprised that I've been blogging for a year already! The time has gone so fast but I have loved it so much! :) For today's post I decided I would go and re-do the galaxy nails I did for the very first post on my blog. These galaxy nails were inspired by this gorgeous necklace I bought from Born Pretty Store.

Blue Ombre Stripes

Hello everyone!

Today's mani has so much going on! Ombre, stripes and spots! And it was really easy to do.

Graduation Nails!

Hello everyone!

I haven't posted for 2 weeks! I don't know why I just haven't felt like painting my nails so I apologise about there being no new posts for a while. But I'm slowly getting back into doing some nail art :)

So today I wanted to show you the nails I wore to my graduation ceremony - I now officially have a degree in Biological Sciences! :) I saw this design on Pinterest somewhere in black and gold but I decided to go with blue with gold and I'm really happy with how they turned out!

Earth Day!

Hello everyone!

Happy Earth Day! Today (22nd April) is Earth Day which aims to raise awareness and appreciation for the earth's environment and the nail art I've done is based on this :)

Nail Art Weekly Project - Week 4

Hello everyone!

It's Week 4 of the Nail Art Weekly Project and the theme is 'The month you were born in'. My birthday is in February and having just done Valentine's Day nails last week I was stuck on what else I could do. Then I thought of birthstones and star signs - February's birthstone is Amethyst and my star sign is Aquarius. Now I know not all people born in February are Aquarius but half of them are so it still kind of fits with the theme :) This is how my nails turned out!

Nail Art Weekly Project - Week 1

Hello everyone!

Danni over at Gingerbread Smiles came up with the Nail Art Weekly Project where there will be a theme each week for the next 5 weeks and the bloggers taking part have to come up with a nail design related to the theme. For week 1 the theme is an outfit or item of clothing and I picked this top that I bought from New Look about a year ago. As soon as I saw all the shapes and patterns I knew I wanted to do some nail art based on this :)

Cracked Gradient Nails!

Hello everyone! I absolutely love this nail art I did over the weekend. Initially I was just going to do gradient nails but then I was looking through some of my bundle monster stamping plates and had to use this cracked design!
