Fall / Stag Nails

Image
I am in love with this look, especially the stag vinyl.

Australian Flag Nails

Image
Today, I did these Australian Flag nails in support of Daniel Ricciardo who was starting from 2nd on the grid in the European Grand Prix in Baku.  Both practice and qualifying were very eventful, with a few drivers touching the walls of this new street circuit, and many going down the escape routes, however, the race was probably one of the most uneventful this season.

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge - Dec 2 - Snow Day

Image
As well as the 30 Days of Colour Dec '15 Challenge, I am going to try and participate in the 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge which is hosted by Challenge Your Nail Ar t Facebook page (run by Jessica from Be Happy & Buy Polish ).  I am going to try and do as many from both the challenges as possible...

Image
Time for another 30 Days of Colour Challenge prompt, and today's (well, yesterday's) prompt is 'Ugly Sweater'.   

30 Days of Colour Dec '15 Challenge - 3 - Snow

It's time for another  30 Days of Colour Challenge !  After a break in November, there is a new set of prompts for December.

It is quite a relief to know (via a couple of Facebook Groups) that I am not the only person who sometimes goes out with just one hand painted, when needs must.  It is quite a rarity, when I am in blog mode that I have all ten nails painted, let alone exactly the same.  Well, today I had all of my nails painted with the same design!

30 Days of Colour October '15 Challenge - Day 31 - Hallowe'en

Image
First things first... HAPPY HALLOWE'EN! Work has been a bit hectic so I haven't felt like painting my nails and therefore have not managed to take part in this month's 30 days of challenge... until now.  I am back in the game for the final prompt: Hallowe'en. I used the watercolour technique again this time with purple (cherimoya - metallic violet), orange (sinful colours - courtney orange) and black (rimmel - black cab).  I used some new nail decals which I received recently ( Nail Mail ).

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 30 - Swatcher's Choice

Image
Today for the 30 Day of Colour Challenge, I have for you Barry M Pit Stop.  I am pleased to say that it lived up to the quick dry title.  The colour even matches our lounge, haha!  Pictures below show two coats on top of a base coat!

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 29 - Your Favourite Colour

Image
So, my favourite colour is actually blue, however, while looking through the polishes in my blue purple drawer, I came across this polish and was reminded how much I love it!  My favourite colour of nail polish changes regularly, but for now, this is it - Metallic Violet by Cherimoya.  The pictures show one coat... ONE COAT! ♥

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 27 - Colour Of Your Eyes

Image
My eyes are green, with a bit of gold in the middle(?!).  But I went for green as that is the dominant and true colour of my eyes.  I didn't have a green the exact same colour as my eyes, but when I was looking through my green drawer, I found two polishes which I thought looked quite similar, so decided I would do a comparison post about these two greens for todays 'Colour Of Your Eyes' prompt. Rimmel - Green With Envy // Sally Hansen - Pixel Party.

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 26 - Colour Of Your Shirt

Image
 Here are my nails to match the colour of my shirt... I have used Rimmel 'Azure', and I think it goes quite well with my shirt.  The shirt is that of the football (soccer) team I support, Queen of the South FC .  Queen of the South are a Scottish club who play in the SPFL Championship.

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 25 - Summer Colour

Image
Unfortunately Summer is over for another year, but here is a lovely Summer colour polish for the 30 days of colour challenge! This coral colour is called Cranberry Kiss and it is from a set of polishes named Fruit Vibe. Pictures show 3 coats of polish, with no top coat or base coat.

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 23 - Winter Colour

Image
Today I have another Miss Beauty London polish for you, for the prompt 'Winter Colour' as part of the 30 Days of Colour Challenge .  The polish is number 363 and it is called Pastel Blue, however, I would consider it a lilac... The pictures below show three coats, no base or top coat.

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 21 - Matte

Image
Not being able to wear nail polish daily, and not going shopping very often, my nail polish stash hasn't grown very much over the past few months (apart from my Birthday!)... The other week I treated myself to a couple of Barry M Polishes, Malibu and Pit Stop.  Pit Stop is one of the Speedy Quick Dry polishes in grey, and Malibu is one of the Matte polishes in blue.  Malibu is the polish which I am using today for the Matte prompt.

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 18 - Shimmer

Image
Today the prompt is 'shimmer' , and I chose a shimmery colour shifting polish called breathless by jess.  The pictures show one coat over two coats of Barry M Malibu.  It was really hard to take a photograph which actually shows the shimmery colour shifting goodness of this polish!! Trying to capture the shimmer and colour shift!

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 17 - Neon

Image
My neon polish for today is an unnamed Cynthia Rowley polish.  I swear it IS neon... it's just very hard to photograph!  It's also very hard to describe... a bright salmony, orangey pink with a hint of red, with a satiny matte finish - that sounds about right?! Pictures show two coats, no base or top coat.
