Good Afternoon lovelies, I hope you all had a really nice weekend relaxing and enjoying yourselves. For today I have another Meebox unboxing to share with you, this was last months box and the theme was Birds of Paradise. 

Hello, my lovely readers, I hope you all had a really great Christmas. Here at the FairyTalesNails household, we enjoyed a nice relaxing family holiday. Plenty of presents for Lexi to drive us mad with and lots of food to enjoy over the last few days. I can't believe yet another Christmas has come and gone, soon we will be saying hello to 2017! But for today's post I have Decembers Meebox for you, so lets jump in and see what was in the box!

Hello, my lovely readers, we are now at the end of yet another month this year is going way too fast for my liking. Through November I have been posting extra nail art looks to Instagram and Facebook, so I wanted to do a quick round-up post here. I am going to try and make this a monthly thing, so that if you don't follow me on my social media platforms you can still see the nail art I have been posting. So let's jump in!

Hello, my lovely readers, I can not believe we are at the end of another week and soon we will be going into December. This year really is just flying by, today's post is another Crumpet's Nail tarts 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge. This week the prompt is winter warmth, there are two things that keep me warm when the temperatures take a turn for the worse. Hot chocolate and a woolly soft Christmas Jumper. I am hoping to go purchase some more this weekend to accompany my fluffy penguin and minion ones I have in my wardrobe. Let's take a look at what I came up with for this week!

Hello my lovely readers, unfortunately this week has not been a good one for me and my family. My great Aunty Ann passed away on Wednesday, it was expected but still not easy to deal with. The sooner a cure is found for Alzheimer's the better, I really hope you have all had a better week than myself. On the more positive side of things last weekend I hit 1000 followers on Instagram, I was over the moon and still am. So for my 1000 follower mani I broke out a highly sought and talked about polish Cupcake Polish Berry Good Looking. I have been dying to try this polish ever since hearing all of the hype last year. Let's get into it and see if it was worth the wait.

Hello my lovely readers, I hope you have all had a good week. I can't believe that tomorrow will be Saturday again. This week has flown by, in fact this whole year seems to be flying by it only feels like yesterday it was Christmas. For today's mani I will be using all of the goodies I received in June's Splash Meebox. I knew the minute that A England Whispering waves was brushed on my nails it would be the base colour for my manicure.

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you are all having a great weekend so far, today's quick post will be my Kawaii mani using the goodies from March's Meebox . As Kawaii means cute I wanted to try and do the cutest manicure possible The minute that this beautiful Cuccio Under A Blue Moon was on my nails I knew that this was the base I wanted to use for my Kawaii mani. It is opaque in 2 coats and is the perfect sky blue colour, it worked fantastically with the stamping image I chose from Uber Chic Collection 8.   I used this cute smiling clouds image from plate 3 for every nail except my ring finger. I love how cute this image is and it was perfect for this mani. For my accent nail I cut out one of the small heart water decal from YRNAILS that I received in the Kawaii box. This was so simple to use, I just placed it in warm water for 30 seconds picked it out placed it where I wanted it on the nail. Once that was in place and top coated I used my bright pink mundo de una...

Hello my lovely readers! I am so sorry I haven't posted in the last couple of days, I am trying to fight off this horrible bug that is going around and unfortunately I seem to be losing. Today's post is another Nailbox unboxing and review. This month the theme was Easter, when I think of Easter my mind goes to beautiful pastel shades and eggs. So I was a bit surprised to find some very bright colours in this months box. This months box contained 3 polishes one set of fake nails and some nail polish remover. Like I said upon my first impression this box didn't really scream Easter to me. It isn't that I didn't like the colours its just that the only one I felt fit the theme was the pastel lavender and of course the speckled eggs false nails.  The first polish that I swatched was from Moyou London, I was hoping on first glance that it might have been a stamping polish but from what I can see on the site this is Cerise pink which is one of their normal nail...

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you have all been having a fabulous weekend, mine has been very relaxing as I haven't been feeling 100%. Today's post is featuring that beautiful Tux Polish Sea Turtle in some nail art. The minute I read the name of this polish I knew what I wanted to do, I even purchased a Moyou London plate specifically for this particular manicure. I really hope you like it and i'm so excited to show you my Sea Turtle mani. Yay! I managed to use this beautiful polish and create in my opinion a very cute Sea Turtle manicure. I completely fell in love with this polish as soon as I saw the bottle, and I knew I had to try and take it to the next level but not ruin that beautiful green colour and it's gorgeous blue shimmer.  To begin I stamped this lovely Turtle/Tortoise shell pattern onto all of my nails using True Brit London Park Lane which I received in a previous Nailbox. This stamps lovely and was just the colour I was looking for. The tu...

Hello my lovely readers! Happy St Patrick's day to all, with my family being mostly Irish I knew I wanted to do something special for today's manicure. So when I saw Pretty Serious releasing a limited addition polish called Liquid Leprechaun I knew I had to pick it up. This post is for all of my Irish family and all you lovely people out there that are celebrating this awesome day. I love how this turned out it screams St Paddy's day and that accent nail of Liquid Leprechaun really makes this mani pop. I am sure this will get the seal of approval from my family over seas and at home.  For my accent nail I used the stunning limited edition Pretty Serious Liquid Leprechaun, this is available at Rainbow Connection right now for £6.50.  I think there are only a few bottle's left so hurry on over now to grab yours. Liquid Leprechaun is a jam packed Irish Glitter fest, it has gold and green glitters in many different sizes that all lie in a bright green jelly bas...

Hello my lovely readers, as you can probably tell from the title of this post it is that time again. Today's post is all about the latest When Colours Collide theme, if you haven't read one of these posts before When Colours Collide is a Facebook page that invites nail enthusiasts to come up with manicure ideas based off of the theme, they post different colour combinations every two weeks and you then make a manicure combing those colours. This time the theme was red and black, many different thoughts went through my mind for this colour combo but in the end I had to go with my heart. Here they are my blingy ladybirds or as I like to call them ladybugs, when I read that it would be red and black I couldn't resist having these cute little insects crawling across my nails. To start this manicure off I chose this gorgeous OPI called Innie Minnie Mightie Bow this is a beautiful deep red with a subtle gold shimmer, this gorgeous polish is from the Couture de Minnie collec...

Hello my lovely readers I hope you are all having a great week so far, I received some very special nail mail yesterday of some custom polishes that the lovely ladies at Echoes Polish made for me. There will be a full swatch and review coming up of those very shortly. but for today I thought I would do a quick post and share my latest manicure with you. For this manicure I used the beautiful Morgan Taylor Best Ball Gown Ever, I received this in  Decembers Nailbox . This is a gorgeous periwinkle frosty blue with a golden shimmer, I loved how clean and crisp this colour made my nails look. This polish is opaque in 3 coats and is quite a sheer formula but builds up well.  This is the polish on its own it really is a gorgeous shade of blue, for the final look I wanted to just stamp on something extra but try not take away from the beauty of the polish.  For the stamping I turned to my Ejiubas Christmas plate and found this gorgeous delicate image of hearts...

Hello my lovely readers, I can not believe in less that 24 hours we will be in 2016. This year just seems to have flown by; only seems like yesterday that Lexi was a couple of months old and now she's one time sure does fly when your having fun. For today's post I want to share with you my New Years Eve manicure. For this all I used was one stamping plate, gold Born Pretty Store polish and a Mini Ciate Nail polish I got in my advent calendar.  For my base I used this Ciate mini called Sass Pot this is a very dark purple creme, in some lighting this looks black. This polish is opaque in 2 coats and formula was easy to apply. I got this polish in my Ciate Advent calendar which I will have a full review and swatches of coming up soon. Once my base colour was completely dry and top coated I turned to my Moyou London Festive plate number 39, this was brought out recently and is the perfect plate for a New Years Eve mani. For my manicure I chose to go for the 3 cl...

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...
