    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.

    I wasn’t originally planning to do any Halloween nails but I had a Twitter request so of course, I had to oblige!
    I used Miss Sporty Orange and Rimmel Black Satin as my base colours.
    The stamps are from Bundle Monster plates BM224 and BM223 and I used white acrylic paint to freehand the skeleton.

    20 Candles

    I turned twenty today. It’s kind of momentus but disappointing at the same time. I’m no longer a teenager, I am a fully qualified ‘adult’ which I suppose is okay, but I sure am gonna miss being a teenager and getting away with all the things you can before you reach this age. Only five years ago, I was looking up at twenty-somethings and thinking, ‘Woooooooow, look how old and responsible they are’ but now it’s me and I still feel like a 13 year old inside, but I suppose it’ll always be that way.
    So the nails are a cake and candles!
    Thumb:
    George @ Asda – Natural White
    Collection 2000 Hot Looks – Dynasty
    BYS – Astro Gold
    Nails Inc – Victoria
    Fingers:
    Rimell Lycra Wear – Black Satin
    Stargazer – White
    Sally Hansen Chrome – Amber

    I used nail art brushes to freehand the candles and a dotting tool for the flames.

    Normally I steer well clear of glitter nail polish but this one’s just too Christmassy not to wear! So here’s my first Christmas Mani…



    Plate: Bundle Monster – BM14
    Base Colour: Two coats of Barry M Red Glitter over a coat of Collection 2000 284
    Stamp Colour: Collection 2000 – Moonlight Shine
    Gems from eBay (Seller)

    And slightly out of focus so you can see the glitter…

    My Harry Potter Mani

    I’ve been meaning to do a Harry Potter mani all week but was completely lost for ideas.
    I sat down yesterday night and decided to just paint them E.L.F Smoky Brown then decided to do the Deathly Hallows on my thumb – then came the rest. It was largely inspired by Melissa @ The Daily Nail‘s HP manicure.
    And I did the house colours on my right hand. This is the first time I’ve photographed my right hand and it was really tricky to position my hand and angle the camera properly.

    Left to right:
    Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin
    I used a lot of polishes for this one and don’t have them in front of me to list right now so if anyone wants to know what any of them are, just let me know.
