31 Day Challenge: Geometric + Negative Space
You would think that when you take part in a huge nail art challenge, it would be a good idea to prepare a few designs in advance, right? Yes, it would, but did I do it? Of course not and now I'm paying for it because during such a long challenge things are bound to go wrong. More about that later. Now let's look at today's design before I really start ranting!
How to: Decals on the Uber Chic Mat
I have recently realised I am super behind with so many reviews so today's post will feature some stencils that Born Pretty Store sent me about 5 thousand years ago. They are meant to be applied directly onto the nail but I decided to try it out with my Uber Chic Mat and create decals. It was so much easier than I thought it would be! I also added a little step by step guide. I explain it all below.
ABC Challenge: L is for Lines
My trip away to Poland has almost come to an end so I'm back today with another ABC Challenge post after missing quite a few prompts. This week we are all about designs starting with the letter L and I went for 'Lines'. I do love a good geometric design but I did this one in Poland and there's just something about not doing it at your own desk with your own lamp, do you know what I mean? I feel like they are not quite um, polished enough! ;)
ABC Challenge: C is for Chevrons
It's time for another ABC Challenge and this time it's extra special because I am NOT late for this prompt! It's incredible what you can do when you are bed bound for a week. Well, more like sofa//desk/fridge bound. This week's design starts with the letter 'C' and I went for chevrons.
ABC Challenge: B is for Best Nail Polish
You know that feeling, when you invest your time and effort to nurture something and the next thing you know, it's all backfired? Take my body for example. I feed you, I buy you clothes, I do your nails for free and you decide to repay me by arranging a long weekend in A&E?! Is it because I wore those 'almost my size' shoes the other day that gave you blisters? You are TOTALLY overreacting, at least they were pretty!
Kawaii MeeBox: Nail Art and Review
Do you remember a few days ago I said that I wasn't really feeling any cute designs? Well, forget that, my new MeeBox is here and it's a cuteness overload! We have pastel shades and a few nail goodies that will help you create the sweetest manicure in no time.
Negative Space Nail Art for Nail Spec
To me, the negative space trend is designed to be worn during summer. It's almost as if you want to show a bit of naked nails just like you would uncover your legs on hot days! If I lived in a hot country, I'd probably wear this kind of design more often. But I live in England where 'summer' usually appears in a sentence starting with 'I remember 5 years ago we had a really lovely summer....'. So yeah, high temperatures may not be a given but alternatively you can just show the weather the finger and rock negative space nails anyway!
BPS | Clear Stamper Review and Nail Art
If you follow this blog then you will know I am quite keen on stamping. I've found the type of stamper that works for me, the stamping polishes that transfer the designs nicely onto my nails and the plates that make picking up a pattern easy. My stamping journey is complete, right? Nope. As soon as my package from bornprettystore.com arrived I couldn't wait to whip out my clear stamper* and give it a go. I am now seriously questioning how have I ever stamped without it!
Colour Block for Nail Spec
I've been seeing a lot of colour block manicures popping up on my social media and I realised I've never actually done one before. Some of you might even think I have been knowingly avoiding this technique. Well, you've got that right! The reason? Striping tape. I. Just. Can't.
Mint Collab
I have finally found time to put my Christmas prezzies into good use! My boyfriend went on some sort of shopping rampage behind my back and got me what I can only describe as 'indie heaven'. I wanted to snap a quick photo for you but quite frankly I just couldn't fit it all in one frame. Yep, he's a keeper!
31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a flag
You know, I really wanted to add a stud right in the middle of this design. I just really fancied a bit of bling. I didn't though because I couldn't help feeling it would look like a pokeball rather than a flag of Poland. Yep, I've gone a bit patriotic for today's 31 Day Challenge.
31 Day Challenge: Inspired by artwork
I was so excited about today's 31 Day Challenge theme! I found this really cool looking artwork online (as you do) and couldn't wait to recreate it on my nails. And I finally did. There is just one, tiny little problem. It's a fail! So annoying when things like that happen. Grrrr!
31 Day Challenge: Geometric
Today's manicure has a lot going on. There is glitter, metallic, bright colour, stamping...yep I've gone a bit cray cray.
The hard life of a nail polish lover
Do you know what's just the worst when travelling? Choosing nail polishes to fit that silly tiny plastic bag you're allowed to take on board a plane. I mean seriously! How am I supposed to choose A FEW from my massive stash? Last time I travelled I thought: screw this, and packed all my cosmetics into my boyfried's bag and I had an entire bag full of polish. I mean he doesn't need much, right? Or ...anything? Still, would you believe that I wanted to take more?
New haul new design
One of the many things I like to do when I go home is scour for nail polishes. I find that varnishes abroad are so much cheaper so I never miss a chance to top up my ever growing collection! This time I got this gorgeous pastel purple (amongst many others) which is very similar to Rimmel Mary Mary Quite Contrary, just a tiny bit more purple. I've run out while I was here so I was on the look out for something similar.
