 **Gifted in exchange for my honest review** Hello my lovely fairies! Hope everyone is keeping well. Today’s post is another fun festive Christmas review, this time I have simply polished Christmas plate to share with you all. This is full of fun festive images that can be used again and again any different ways so let’s take a closer look…

Welcome back lovelies, I hope you all had a really nice weekend. We were celebrating my cousins 21st birthday on Sunday so that was super fun, with lots of cake. For today's post I have some really beautiful Christmas polishes from Australian indie brand Powder Perfect, so let's take a look.

Hello my lovely readers, I can't believe it is Christmas eve already I am such a little kid at Christmas. Can't wait to open up all my pressies tomorrow and see other peoples faces when they receive mine, especially looking forward to seeing Lexi's little face light up at the different activities going on throughout the day. So for my last manicure before the big day I thought nothing would be more appropriate that a jolly Santa mani. After all it is Christmas time when this magical man goes from house to house delivering toys to all of those sleepy little children. Lexi isn't really old enough to be aware of Santa Claus yet, but I am sure next year her daddy will have to dress up and leave some snowy boot prints leading up to the tree just to make it even more magical. Lets get into this Santa Claus nail art, I was inspired by  Kelli Marissa  over on Youtube. She recently uploaded an easy way to create a Santa Claus accent nail, follow the link if you would like to...

Hello my lovely readers, well it is that time of the month again where I get super pumped to receive my end of the month nail mail. This month because we have Christmas coming up the lovely ladies at Meebox sent out the boxes early so that we would get them in time for Christmas. This months theme is Ice Queen, being a huge Frozen fan I was highly anticipating this box. I am very happy to say I was not left disappointed, the polishes included in this months box are to die for and I am elated to have them in my ever growing collection. So lets get into this fabulous Ice Queen box, as usual I was greeted with the beautiful Meebox wrapping paper and this month they even added a lovely Christmas card which I thought was a great idea. Then after ripping open the paper carefully I found these 3 lovely polishes laying in the bed of paper worms, along with the polishes there are some lovely snowflake water decals and a nail file key ring from Sparkly Nails. The first polish that I p...

Hello my lovely readers, I can't believe we are only 6 days away from Christmas. I don't know if it is just me but this month has been flying by, I thought I had plenty of time left for some more festive mani's and some Christmas baking. So because I am running out of time way to fast I wanted to make some gingerbread cookies and mince pies, this resulted in my middle nail breaking so I am so sorry that he is a bit shorter than the rest. Hopefully with my Nailtiques formula 2 it will catch up with the rest before Christmas is over. So for today's festive mani I have painted some Christmas minions onto my nails, if my nails had been a little bit longer I would have been able to give them there little red jackets but unfortunately I had to settle for just the eyes and there little Santa hats for now. Lets get into how I created my 10 little mischievous friends. The first thing I did was choose my base colour, at the moment the only yellow creme polish I own is OPI I...

Hello again my lovely readers well we are officially in the single digit countdown to Christmas, I for one am hugely excited. I used to love Christmas when I wasn't a mum and now that I am its even more magical, I can't wait to see the mischief Lexi gets into when there is a big pile of wrapping paper to jump into and to see her face light up trying her first ever Christmas dinner. As she is only one I don't think she will be into the whole Santa thing yet but that doesn't mean I can't have him dancing across my nails. So without further ado I would like to share with you lovely people my latest manicure for the festive season. As the base for this mani I used the beautiful Danglefoot nail polishes Higitus Figitus, this is the new version of this particular polish. It is a gorgeous deep black holographic polish it is fully opaque in two easy to apply coats and has an excellent formula. This polish is great to use to set the scene for some night time nail art...

Hello my lovely readers, I can not believe that it is the 12th of December all ready. Only another 13 days until Christmas, I am happy to say I have got all my Christmas shopping done and dusted so at least that is one less thing to worry about. My boyfriend has told me that he has brought me nothing but nail polish for Christmas so I am super excited to find out what goodies he has picked. I will definitely be doing a Christmas haul post to show all of you fellow addicts my loot.  Today I have another festive inspired manicure for you all, I recently spent some of my pennies on some more Danglefoot Nail Polish . Among the beauties that I acquired from the lovely Hayley is this gorgeous dark blue polish called Eye Candy. I am utterly besotted with this polish, I mean what is not to love it is jam packed with iridescent blue and rainbow glitters. When this polish hits the light it look absolutely magical, it has a dark blue jelly base and is opaque in 2 ...

Hello my fabulous readers, well it's the 5th of December and we are only 20 days away from Christmas. There are many things I love about Christmas, having all my family in one place, lots of pressies under the tree and lots and lots of food. One of my favourite Christmas memories is lighting the pudding on fire, seeing those bright blue flames dancing around is always a fabulous end to a great Christmas dinner. The first thing I had to do was choose a good brown polish that would be good for the base of my Christmas puddings. The Color Club from my  Novembers Meebox  was the perfect colour for the job, Positively Posh is opaque in one easy to apply coat. When I was brushing this on it seriously did feel like I was brushing melted milk chocolate onto my nails. Once this had fully dried I used my top coat to seal in the base colour and then started to make my dripped icing.  To make my drips of icing I picked up my largest dotting tool and used China Glaze Whit...

Good morning my lovelies, it is absolutely freezing today me and Lexi are both wrapped up in the quilt trying to keep warm like a couple of penguins. I really wanted to try and get this post up last night but my brother and future sister in law (who is also my best friend) came around for an unexpected visit, and then Lexi was being stubborn about going to bed. So today I have for you my manicure using all my nail polish goodies from my November Nailbox , click on the link if you haven't already checked that out. It was crammed full of classic festive colours to use for this coming month.  When I received my Festive Nailbox my first thought was that the nail polish's we were given are the perfect colours for a candy cane manicure. So with that in mind I began planning out my festive fingers mani, first things first I used 2 coats of China Glaze White on White for my base and then topped that with OPI's Happy Anniversary. This gave the base a lovely silvery glow, I was h...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope everyone has had a great weekend and is feeling well in this freezing weather. My weekend consisted of baking goodies for my cousins 18th Birthday party and trying to fight off a cold. At the moment I'm feeling awful so I don't think I am winning the battle at this present time. But today I have an awesome post for you, it was only a few weeks ago that She Sells Seashells announced she was going to be selling a Christmas box full of lots of nail art goodies that can get your nails ready for the festivities. At the moment I am really skint so when it came out on the site I was so worried it would sell out before I had my chance to grab a box for myself. Luckily for me I have a great friend in Becca from  A certain Becca nails  who offered to get the box for me so I wouldn't miss out. So I am saying a huge thank you to my fantastic nail friend for not only getting me the box but also picking up the Uber Chic Christmas plate for me. I will pay y...

Hello my wonderful readers, I am now fully recovered from all the party planning and one year old madness. Today I have a swatch and review of a Nail art gift set from Mint London that will be the perfect stocking stuffer for any nail lover. I was lucky to grab these goodies when they were on sale of Amazon, I brought all of these lovely nail art items for £2.99. This was a huge bargain as this set comes with nearly 15 nail related items, its original price is £9.99; I will leave the Amazon link here  for those of you that might want to go buy this for either yourself or a another nail art lover you may know. As you can see that is a whole lot of nail art goodness for a very little price, I had never tried Mint London before this and I was quite impressed for £9.99 you get four nail polishes from their collection, a nail file, nail stickers,rhinestones, finger separators, orange sticks, eye lash curlers and a nail wheel to swatch you polishes and two nail buffing blocks. You als...
