Hello my lovely readers, well we are officially in 2016 I hope you all had a great New Years Eve if you were celebrating. Mine was spent in bed, ever since becoming a mum I can not stay up past 8 if i do I'm like a zombie not able to concentrate on anything and feeling awful. I really wanted to get this post up before the New Year but unfortunately there was not enough time.1 This post might be quite large as there were 21 polishes and 3 nail art items inside the Ciate advent calendar my friend brought for me. It was so lovely to be able to open a different window each day of December and find a beautiful mini polish hiding behind it. Now unfortunately my organisation skills and brain were missing in action through out December, so I  didn't take a picture of the actual calendar or make note of which polish was behind which door. So lets just get into the swatches and review of each polish.  The first polish I have is Beach Hut this is a fiery orange metallic opa...

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to 2016, this is only a short post today but I wanted to get my nail resolutions up before we get to far into this year. These are all goals that I hope to accomplish before this year is over, I am determined to be more organised and put as much time and effort as I can into my blog. So here are my 6 nail resolutions for 2016. I would love to know if you have any resolutions for this year, either nail related or just life in general. Please feel free to leave a comment below and you can follow me on  Bloglovin'  and  Instagram . I also recently created a  Twitter  account if you wanted to go follow me over there. I hope this year is full of happiness, health and love for you all. Hope to see you back for the next post, and fingers crossed all these resolutions will be completed before the year is over. 

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 my lovely readers, well now that all the festivities are out of the way I can finally begin to breath again. I did have maybe five or six more Christmas manicures I wanted to get done, but I suppose they will have to wait until next year. After receiving  Decembers Nailbox  I was inspired to do a funky fresh manicure. I could not resist using Bloomsbury Way from Nails Inc as those pastel glitters were screaming out to me the minute I opened the box. Because I was happy with my  Winter Jelly Sandwich  I decided to try doing this with the Nails Inc Glitter. First I started off with two coats of Essie's Marshmallow, this is a very sheer white jelly polish so it is perfect for creating jelly sandwiches. I love the different combinations you can create with just one polish, I also felt that white would be a perfect colour for that fresh feeling after all the dark reds and greens that have been showing up over Christmas.  Once both of those coats had...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope you have all had a fab Christmas and were treated to lots of nail goodies. I was very lucky as my day was full of polish, polish and more polish. I have a massive haul coming up of all the loot I received over the last few days. But first lets get into our swatch and review for December's Nailbox, this month the theme was funky fresh. They put in some fabulous polishes to get us ready for the new year, there was also some great little extras hidden underneath all of those packing peanuts. The box definitely had a freshening feel to it and was full of some lovely colours and that Nails inc glitter is to die for. So lets just get into these gorgeous polishes and fab little extras. As you probably can guess the first polish to catch my eye was this gorgeous Nails Inc glitter topper called Bloomsbury way. This is a glitter topper with a clear base and pastel pink, blue and white glitters in all shapes and sizes. It is a bit base heavy so you ...

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 we only have 2 days to go until Christmas. I can not believe how quickly this month has gone, I have so many more ideas for Christmas manicures and I have just received my Bundle Monster Christmas plates. I guess they will have to wait until next year, I must admit I love the fact that my stamping plates can be used again and again. When I'm buying nail vinyls or decals I don't like to spend an awful lot on them as they can only be used once, but with a stamping plate I think it's definitely worth those extra few pennies. So lets get into why we are here, today I have some stunning polishes from KB Shimmer . This is a indie seller located in Indiana, there polishes are 3 free and does not contain toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin or dibutyl phthalate. They sell all types of nail polish from cremes to crelly's they also stock mani shots, decals and nail art tool as well as some hand and body lotions. I only own three polishes from ...
