Iridescent Flakes! #NailartMar Challenge

Hello everyone!

My dissertation has been handed in and I'm now off for the Easter break. It's been stressful but now I can focus more on this blog yay! I hope any of you with deadlines approaching aren't too stressed! The next theme of the #NailarMar Challenge is Flakes. I decided to do something simple and here's how they turned out!

Rainbow Swirls! #NailartMar Challenge

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently! I have had so much uni work to do but I should be back to posting more regularly after this week. Anyway today I've got the next 2 themes of the #NailartMar Challenge rolled into 1 nail art design to show you. Is that allowed? I don't know but I'm going to do it anyway in an attempt to try and catch up on this challenge! So the themes were 'candies' and 'neons' and this is how my nails turned out!

Guest post - imPRESS nails!

Hello everyone!

Today I've done a blog post swap with Niki from Nikiniknak! So without further ado here's Niki's post! :)

************
Hi :D


I have no nails. I bite them everyday and have done so for as long as I can remember. It may seem a bit strange then that I am here, guest posting on a blog dedicated to nails. This is because I'm determined to make a change. I will stop biting my nails, I will buy pretty pastel nail polishes and I will perfect nail art.

Nail Art Weekly Project - Week 5

Hello everyone!

It's the final week of the Nail Art Weekly Project started by Danni from Gingerbread Smiles and I can't believe how fast it's gone! I have loved coming up with different designs for each theme! This weeks theme is Glitz and Glam and I wanted to incorporate the negative space technique I've seen recently with glitter polish and here's how they turned out:

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!

Distressed Nails!

Hello everyone!

Today I did some distressed nail art inspired by Chalkboard Nails. You can see her design here. They are so easy to do and take no time at all but look amazing and I was so pleased with how mine turned out!

Nail Art Weekly Project - Week 3

Hello everyone!

It's week 3 (already!) of the Nail Art Weekly Project started by Danni from Gingerbread Smiles and the theme this week is Valentine's Day! I was actually so excited to do this one that I did the nail art last week at the same time as my Arrow-inspired nails for Week 2!

Nail Art Weekly Project - Week 2

Hello everyone!

So it's now week 2 of The Nail Art Weekly Project which was started by Danni from Gingerbread Smiles. The theme for this week is favourite TV show/film. I struggled this week trying to think of what TV show or film to pick because I literally have so many favourites! But I eventually decided on the TV show Arrow which I love and is one of my favourites at the moment! :)

The Liebster Award!

Hello everyone!

I've been nominated for the Liebster Award by Claire from Seven Star Skies - thank you so much! You should all go check out her blog it's amazing! So from what I gather the Liebster Award is given by bloggers to fellow bloggers with a small following (under 200 followers) but that are showing lots of potential.

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!

Glittery Crescent Moon Nails!

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in AGES! I've been back at University and things have been a bit hectic but I'll be trying to post more often :) . Anyway today I thought I'd do some crescent moon nail art which I've seen a few people do and I've been dying to try because it looks great but at the same time not too difficult to do!

Coffee Nail Art?!

Hello everyone! Today I did some nail art which my mum said reminded her of milky coffee and looking at it now I can kind of see why haha :) The colours do remind me of coffee and cream! I think I'll call them coffee inspired nail art (even if it was accidental!)
