    Reader, beware, you’re in for a scare! (Goosebumps Nail Art)

    I have to confess – I never read the books but I used to watch the TV show as a kid and I can still remember the drippy green logo from the opening credits which is what inspired today’s mani. I even managed to paint this design on my right hand using my left and it looks nearly as good as my right-handed effort!

    I used Collection 2000 Spangles as my base colour, then used nail art brushes to paint on W7 Black for the drippy details.
    Spangles nowhere near as yellow as it looks in these pictures. It’s actually a perfect slimey green colour!

    Here’s another mani from the new Red Angel plates! As I said before, there will be a full review coming soon.  This is definitely my favourite of the patterns I’ve tried out so far, I just keep going back to it again and again.
    Sorry my posts have been brief and scattered recently. It just seems like I never have much time to devote to blogging at the moment. Hopefully now that the holidays are over, I, like everyone else, will be getting back in to a regular routine and start sleeping properly!

    In the Army…

    I’m going to a birthday tonight and there is a dress up theme – ‘army’. I’m not one for spending money on fancy dress costumes that I’ll never wear again so I’m going in khaki clothing and mud/face paint, hopefully I’ll look convincing! 
    Fancy dress is always such a great opportunity for me to create some fun and original nail art so I painted my nails in a camouflage pattern to match the theme!
    I used MUA Shade 23 as a base. To get the camo effect, I painted on random patches using BYS Fern, Barry M Mushroom and W7 Black. The insignia was created with black acrylic paint and Barry M Gold Foil.

    Day 18: Half Moons

    Sorry today’s post is a little later than usual, it’s been a very busy and fun few days for me. 
    I’m loving this blue/green polish that I picked up in the pharmacy for 99p! It’s one of those shades that’s stuck right between blue and green so it’s been a hot topic of debate today. What do you think?

    Day 16: Tribal Print

    I’ve been dreading this day for a while. I love tribal nail art but had no idea how to come up with a decent design myself, however, once I forced myself to sit down and actually do it, the ideas just kept coming and I am completely in love with this design!

    The black detail is all created with acrylic paint which has allowed me to get the crisp lines that I know I couldn’t have achieved by using black nail polish. At the moment I only have black and white acrylic paint but I think I’m going to have to look out for some more cheap pots in a better range of colours.

    You should go and see what Rie and Cristina came up with today too!

    Today was a tricky one! Say the words ‘rainbow nails’ to me and my mind starts running wild! I was thinking stamping, dotting and striping all in one mani I decided reign in all that jazz and take the simple chic approach with rainbow stripes which I am absolutely over the moon with. Think ‘Sammy and the Amazing Technicolor Manicure’!

    Don’t forget to peek at Cristina and Rie‘s rainbow creations today!

    Day 4: Green Nails

    For today’s green nails I chose Barry M Mint Green! I’m a creme finish girl at heart and Barry M make THE most amazing cremes which is probably why they’re one of my favourite brands (it also helps that their polish costs a bargainous £2.95 a bottle!). Even though it needed 3 coats for opacity, it’s worth it for this beautiful creamy green.
