Nail Art

Hello lovelies! Today marks the beginning of a new weekly series with myself and Charlie of Pocket Money Polishes. This will be called the “Rainbow Series with Pocket Money Polishes“. Each week we will each post a colour-themed blogpost on both our blogs, so make sure you check hers out too!

As it’s the starting week, the theme is red, so I’ve picked out my top ten red nail polishes. (This was hard – it’s like asking a parent to choose their favourite child!). I really really love red polish but I don’t wear it all that often, but hopefully these posts will get me pulling out polishes I don’t normally use!

Hello lovelies- first and foremost I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year! Sorry I’ve (again) been absent… I *hope* I have a good enough reason… Andy and I are moving into our first home together, in a different city *eek* so I’m super excited/busy/stressed/exhausted/thinking a million things a minute. This also means I’m being productive, which also means my blog takes a little bit of a sideline to priorities like sorting out insurance, packing, cancelling incorrectly taken direct debits (side story: Tesco screwed me over!). Anywho, since it has been a good 5 days since I posted, I thought I’d update you all! 🙂

Last year, I bought the Ciaté Mini Mani Month (nail polish advent calender) in a fit of indulgence, loved opening all the doors and looking at all the cute polishes but never used any of them. Not for the whole year. How bad is that! So I promised myself this year, if I bought it, I HAD to use them. And so far I’m doing pretty good – this mani alone consists of 6 Mini Mani Month offerings! Anyway, I bought the Mini Mani Month half price in their Christmas Day sale… for just £21! £24.95 delivered… that works out at just over £1 per bottle! It is still on sale on the Ciaté website so grab it while you can! <3

I was very much inspired by an image Jess from Fat Puss Polish posted on Facebook… Well okay, I lie, I stole her idea for my accent nail. It was just amazingly pretty and haunted my mind until I finally had the Mini Mani Month in my hands!

So at Christmas more than any other time of year, all the nail brands start retweeting and sharing all our festive manicures and nail art. Yes I have been sucked onto the bandwagon, mainly because I love Christmas, I’ve regretted not doing it previous years, it’s cute, and I haven’t done nail art in ages!

Growing up my favourite animal was a penguin (they are still in the top running) and I always had a trademark simple penguin drawing I would put everywhere. I love them, I think they are super cute little animals 🙂 (birds?). And snowmen… what better to get you in the festive mood!

This is a super easy design to create, it definitely looks better in person than in these photos but I’ll explain to you how to create the designs step-by-step.

Hello lovelies! <3 I have a spectacularly Christmassy product for you today!! I adore these cute little falsies and I’ve had SO many compliments on them. If I didn’t have so many products to review I’d be tempted to glue these on and keep them for the duration!

These are Elegant Touch’s Christmas Reindeer false nails… they are gorgeous, and don’t look totally false either. Elegant Touch have come out with quite a collection of Christmas nails, so get your hands on them while you can!

Hello lovelies! I have a slightly controversial polish for you all today. This was another impulse buy from Boots whilst in Bournemouth (oh I DEFINITELY made the most of the 3 for 2 offer!)… It was a curiosity purchase, as I’ve now seen so many brands doing similar things and I’ve been hoping for a while that one might just make it work. I think Seventeen just…might!

I’m talking Barry M Sequins, Nails Inc Beaded, Essie Belugaria… of them all I liked Belugaria best and this one is practically a dupe at half the price. I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but see what you think. It’s really grown on me! Behold the Seventeen Rock Hard X-treme Nail Effects in Diamond in the Rough.
