Yes, you're seeing it right, today's manicure features flowers. I know, totally out of character. Although...didn't I just post a floral design yesterday? Ok, so maybe I did but don't judge me, I didn't have a choice!

31 Day Challenge: Blue Nails
I was really struggling to pick the right shade for today's challenge as I have an obscene amount of blue polishes. Still, there are worse problems, I guess!
31 Day Challenge: Red Nails
It's the first of September today and it's a special date in my calendar, it's the start of the 31 Day Challenge! Have you heard of it? It's basically a month where you give up social life and there are *possibly* some occasional tears, comfort chocolate eating and 'it will do' attitude involved. Jokes aside, this challenge is great for pushing yourself and getting out of your comfort zone for an entire month. If you want to find out more about it, there's more info at the end of this post.
Splash MeeBox | Swatches, Nail Art and Review
You know that feeling when you um, have a feeling? As soon as I heard that this month's MeeBox was going to feature 'a UK indie brand that is inspired by history and magic' I was pretty sure there was only one company that could fit that description...Hands up who guessed the Splash MeeBox would be filled with A England goodies?! And that's not all! As this month's MeeBox was inspired by mermaids, there are a few more treats to go with the theme. Ah, aren't we lucky this month?
ABC Challenge: F is for Feathers
Do you know what is one of my favourite designs on nails? No, you probably don't because I've never done it until now! I don't know where the logic is in that but there you go. It's actually feathers. I attempted to hand paint them once and decided it's best not to venture there again for the sake of my sanity. However since April, me and and all the lucky ladies that got their hands on the Hitched themed MeeBox* are now proud owners of a Bundle Monster plate in collaboration with Ellandish. And guess what pattern is on it? Feathers!
#RiRiMee MeeBox: Review and Badass Nail Art
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think 'Rihanna'? Style icon, perhaps? Great singer? Sure! But for me, it's BADASS and that was clearly what the MeeBox girls thought because the contents of this month's box have it written all over them!
Tribal Design Featuring BPS Water Decals
It's been a bit quiet here recently but trust me when I say I've not been doing sweet bugger all! I have been playing around with water decals because I am absolutely obsessed! I think a lot of girls find them boring but I found that it's ridiculous just how many looks you can create with even the simplest water decals. I'll be sharing them with you soon but for now here is a tribal design I've done using water decals* from bornprettystore.com.
Review | OPI New Orleans and Treatment Set
Today's post is a rather special one! I want to show you a birthday gift I got from my boyfriend. True, my birthday is not until the 29th of this month but there was this great offer on QVC so he went for it! I don't know how you feel about shopping channels but I was definitely sceptical at first. Long story short, I am now ordering my favourite skincare brand through it and the best thing about is that if you don't like what you've ordered you can send it back. I can tell you now that this set is definitely not going anywhere!
MeeBox Review: Red Carpet
Can you believe it's been a month since my first ever MeeBox* landed on my doorstep? Time sure is flying! MeeBox is a subscription box for nail art addicts with a different theme every month and lots of goodies to go with it. Listen I like nail polish as much as the next girl but surely owning 200+ bottles makes me more of an enthusiast?<nervous laugh> Perhaps I'm in denial, I'll let you be the judge of that! I absolutely loved last month's treats so much so, that I dedicated two separate posts for the review and nail art. The Red Carpet themed box is no different so here are the swatches and the nail art is coming in the next post!
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!
F.U.N. Lacquer Diamond Holo Top Coat: Swatches + Review
I often find myself thinking do I REALLY need another bottle of polish? And the answer is pretty much always, um, yeah? This is a nail art blog, what did you expect?! But even though I think: yes, sometimes the entire universe (my bank balance) screams: no! The problem is that I really want to try more holographic polishes because I only own a few. However I had this idea that if I get a holographic top coat I can make ANY polish look holo. Get in! And when I say it was my idea, it was actually my boyfriend's idea...um, I'll just leave it there.
Instalove
Today I'd like to show you a mani swap I've done with Lisa ( ig: @nailpolisa). We were talking about doing this for ages and we finally made it happen. You know what it's like, we all have stuff going on and then during Christmas everything just gets crazy. Basically, life just gets in the way of painting nails! Tut tut.
Stars In My Eyes
For today's Weekly Nail Art Challenge 2015 my mind went blank! The prompt for today is stars and I kinda had this idea to do some form of gradient but the gradient gods were not watching over me...in fact, nail gods are completely blowing me off today! Add to that the fact that I have a flu and you can't blame me for going for something simple today.
Glamming up!
When I feel a bit poorly and just meh in general, a good pampering session can sort me right out. I'm sure a lot of you ladies out there would agree! A nice bath, face mask and a glass of wine should just about do it for me. Oh and a new design on my claws, obviously! To feel all glammed up I always reach for black and gold. To me these two colours put together are the epitome of glamour!
31 Day Challenge: Inspired by fashion
I wasn't too sure what to do for today's 31 Day Challenge prompt. I like fashion fine but I'm not really into the latest trends. I know what style I like and whenever I go shopping I'm just picking bits and bobs to complement it. So I decided to do today's mani based on handbags that I really like.
31 Day Challenge: Red
This year I've decided to take part in the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge. Why I am making myself paint nails for 31 days straight, I don't know. I must be crazy! This is the first time I'm able to participate and although it's a bit daunting, I'm kinda excited! I really want to do it all but you know, I have some qualities (patience, I'm looking at you!) that could make me lose it so bad and basically make the next month of my life pure hell. I guess we'll have to see, won't we!
There's always an alternative!
Believe it or not, this manicure was supposed to be a delicate picnic blanket kind of design. Erm... well something clearly didn't go to plan!
Waving bye bye
Introducing: Mani Trippin'
I've just come back from a short trip to my boyfriend's family. You know when you're about to go away and there's a ton of things you need to do before? Like packing, emptying the fridge, getting the bins out and that sort of stuff. Packing that nice dress and oh look, it's stained, now you need to put the washing on. By the end of the day you're absolutely exhausted and all you want to do is sleep. Except, uh oh, you forgot to do a nice mani. Bollocks.
