    The Amazing Spider-Nails (Spider-man Nail Art)

    So I’m sat here trying desperately to some up with an idea for some awesome nail art and I have my new Cult Nails colours on the desk next to me, I’m eyeing them up and browsing the internet pointlessly like I always do and I see that The Amazing Spider-Man is trending on Twitter… *lightbulb* 
    The reason for it trending is the 2nd trailer which hit the internet this week after its Super Bowl spot. I watched it first thing this morning which has renewed my excitement for the movie and my love affair with Marvel/Superhero nail art!
    I used Cult Nails Quench as a base then freehanded the tips with Cult Nails Time Traveller using a nail art brush. All the details are also freehanded with Barry M Silver Foil and I outlined the eyes with black acrylic paint.

    Baroque is pretty much my favourite kind of pattern ever! I’m immediately drawn to anything that’s covered in it so, naturally I love to wear it on my nails but for some reason I’ve never tried this colour combination before. My god it’s beautiful.

    Valentine’s Nails

    February 14th is quickly approaching so I thought I’d post these nails now! I didn’t start this mani with the intention of creating a Valentines mani but I wanted to do something freehand and hearts seemed like an obvious choice. Goly, I sound so cynical today!
    The base coat is Barry M Raspberry and I used W7 Black for the hearts, then outlined with Sally Hansen Chrome Anemone using a nail art brush.

    Would You Believe Me?

    If I told you I haven’t worn nail polish for four whole days?! Well it’s the truth, and that’s definitely the longest I’ve gone naked-nailed for at least 3 years! The main reason I never leave the house without polish on my nails is because they were so stained from years of wearing it daily. I sat down on Sunday with a buffing block after witnessing the removal of yellow staining using the buffing method and I finally got rid of all the yellow. My nails are now stain free and ready to see the sunshine.

    I’ve been doing some decorating this week (the reason for my long absence), alongside neglecting my nails for a few days so they’ve taken a bit of a battering and I’ve been forced to cut them quite short but I actually really like having super short nails!

    I Try

    Well today’s been busy considering I had a lovely lie in and didn’t wake up until the afternoon! I spent most of the day tidying and cleaning so I’ll be in love with my bedroom for a little while until it starts getting messy again!

    I filmed two YouTube videos this evening but my computer is rejecting both of them. They start playing but at a certain point, the software just gives in and shuts down. This has happened with 2 videos I filmed in the past as well which leads me to think the videos are corrupted. It’s très frustrating and I’m thinking I might have to get a new camcorder 🙁

    Purple on Blue on Blue

    Hellooo! It’s been a few days hasn’t it, sorry about that. I fully intended to blog yesterday but fell asleep at 8 in the evening because I had to get up at 6.30am on five hours sleep and I am just not used to that kind of morning! Not very hardcore, I know, but I like my sleep!
    It seems like I’ve only used ‘all-over’ stamping patterns for a very long time so I went in search of a smaller pattern for today’s mani. I decided on this one from the Red Angel set because I love the way it fits perfectly in to the curve of my nails and looks like a pretty little frame.

    Top That!

    I don’t post a lot of swatches or plain nails but I wanted a simple mani today and I love what I decided on so I wanted to share. It’s very glitzy which is slightly out of my comfort zone but after seeing all the sparkly New Years manis that everyone was coming up with, I think a bit of twinkle is in order.
    I hope everyone had a good start to their 2012. After stressing about not having any plans for New Years I just decided was going to stay in and watch a movie but ended up going in to town very last minute (at 11.30!) to join some friends and we ended up staying awake until about 6 in the morning. It was definitely one for the books and I hope the rest of the year will bring as much fun.

    I layered Essence Choose Me over Barry M Cyan Blue and finished it off with a top coat of NYC.

    I had loads of questions on Tumblr today which some of you might be interested in seeing. I answered questions about how to get followers (or not), weight loss, free samples and more so if you might want to read what I had to say, click over here.
