Jam Doughnuts! #NailartMar Challenge

Hello everyone!

Today I have the final theme for the #NailartMar challenge to show you - 'Drips'. This was one of those designs where I didn't really know what I was doing and I just picked a stamp design I liked and hoped it all looked good together lol! Also I wanted to try out my MoYou stamping plate I just bought! It all turned out well though and reminds me of jam doughnuts! Yum!

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!

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 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! :)
