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...

Hello my lovely peeps, I hope everyone has been having a good week so far and are not feeling too cold. Well I can officially say it is so cold here that I just had to break out the snowflakes, my nails needed to look as cold as I felt. This time of year all I want to do is stay in my pj's and fluffy slippers and sip on a large cup of hot chocolate. I'm sure many of you out there feel the same, unfortunately my little girl does not agree and just thinks that every moment of the day should be spent playing and running around the house. Enough of my wintery woes lets get into some snowflakey goodness. For the base for this manicure I went straight for one of my new Echoes polishes, this baby is called Frisky In The Frost. It is a gorgeous icy blue holographic with a subtle violet shimmer. This polish is the perfect colour for how cold I am feeling right now. Not only is this a gorgeous polish but I had a peppermint scent added to it and oh wow, my nails actually smelt like ca...

Hell my wonderful readers, hope everyone had a lovely weekend mine wasn't really eventful just the usual dinner at my Nan's on Sunday. With this cold weather and it getting darker earlier and earlier a Sunday roast is just what I needed. Today I have the unboxing and review of Novembers Meebox, this months theme was Taupe to me. Now I am not going to lie I am not a huge fan of taupe, I just don't think browns and nudes suit my really pale skin. I much prefer adding a splash of colour to my nails rather than going for the manikin hand look. However I was pleasantly surprised to find some very unique polishes in my box and some great treatments for your nails in the upcoming winter months. When I opened my box first thing I saw was the lovely colorful tissue paper they use every month, this gets me so excited to see what goodies are waiting inside for me. Once I carefully pulled up the sticker I found my polishes sitting safely in a bed of paper worms, I love how they use...

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 fellow nail polish peeps, well it is that time of the month again. I must admit I love the end of the month now so much nail mail, it makes me burst with excitement. Thankfully this month I made sure both my Nailbox and Meebox were sent to my mums house so I didn't have a repeat of last months stolen post fiasco. I must admit the minute that I opened this months Nailbox I had it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas playing in my head. Nailbox definitely 'nailed' it this month. (excuse the pun) If you are looking for classic Christmas colours then this is the box for you. All of these nail goodies for only £15 what a bargain!  The brands included in this months box are two mainstream classics and an Indie brand that is becoming a staple in a lot of our nail collections. The last time I received a True Brit London polish was Taxi Cab in Septembers Creepy colours Nailbox , and I loved it.  For this festive season we all need a Christm...

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 hope everyone has been keeping well. I must say I am absolutely freezing today, apparently it isn't very cold so I think I maybe coming down with something. I really hope not, as Lexi is due her 1 year jabs next week and I don't want her catching anything from me before she has them. Also I have plans to go watch the final installment of The Hunger games, I can't wait to see that after reading all the books I am highly anticipating part 2 of Mockingjay. Anyway enough of my random ramblings lets get into today's manicure, as we are now entering into winter and Christmas is just around the corner I wanted to start of my chilly/Christmas mani's with some cute little penguins. I saw the tutorial for these little fella's on the Cutepolish Youtube channel, I will leave a link to her tutorial here  if you wanted to go check her out. She is a great nail artist and comes up with some fantastic designs, she is always inspiring me to try new...
