    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 🙁

    This is a design you’ve probably seen from me before but it’s one that I wear all the time because it’s so simple and elegant, yet it always gets so may ‘Ooooh’s from people!
    You may know that Cult Nails are running a nail art competition at the moment (details here) and I entered a mani I did a little while back. It would be great if you could vote for me by clicking here. All you have to do is ‘like’ the photo and you’ll be entered for the chance of winning a prize too!

    Day 30: Inspired by a Tutorial

    Here we are at the penultimate day of the challenge and I’m getting a little emotional. This amazing journey will soon be over for Me, Chris and Rie so I’m gonna go out with a bang and give you the most awesome manis I can for the next two days!

    Today I had to pick a tutorial to inspire my nails and I’ve always wanted to try out some of Jane @ Nailside‘s amazing designs. Jane comes up with the most amazing uses for scotch tape and her nails always look incredible.

    I really wanted to try recreating her explosion design but I’m not very good with scotch tape so that went belly up very quickly and I decided to try her cartoon hearts. Swoon.

    Follow me over to Cristina and Rie‘s tutorial inspired nails today.

    My base colour is A-England Elaine. I used whit acrylic paint and Nails Inc. Shoreditch for the hearts, then topped it off with a few coats of NYC Top Coat.

    I won’t give you any details of how I achieved this look, you’ll have to head over to see the tutorial at Nailside [here] and you can check out all of Jane’s simple but stunning tutorials here.

    For ‘Day 31: Recreate Your Favourite Challenge’ we’ve decided to pick our favourite challenges from each other so check back tomorrow for a double feature!

    Day 21: Inspired by a Colour

    Today’s criteria is a bit of an odd one. I couldn’t decide if it meant inspired by an actual colour or inspired by a shade name or even something else completely that I didn’t pick up on! In the end I decided to rummage through my stash to see if any of the colour names inspired me and this Rimmel polish, Purple Reign, gave me an idea straight away.

    I decided to make a mani from the name and stamp crowns on my nails. Get it? Purple REIGN 😉

    Head over to see whar Cristina and Rie came up with today.

    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?
    Don’t forget to check out Cristina and Rie‘s half-moons too!
