FairyTales Nails

Hello my lovely readers! Well today is Mothering Sunday so to all you yummy Mummy's out there I hope you have a great day and are spoiled rotten. I was originally going to do a special manicure for mothers day but then I remembered that today was also the air date for Once Upon A Time's 100th episode in America, so I decided to create a design for that instead. Once upon a time is a show that brings fairy tale characters into the modern day, it is an amazing show full of drama, romance, comedy and most importantly happy endings. You can watch every episode of Once Upon A Time on Netflix, and the newest episode will be added on Wednesday here in the UK. If you love fairy tale characters like Snow White, Prince Charming, Captain Hook and many more you should definitly check this show out. So lets get into my manicure for this special 100th episode. Ok if you don't watch the show this manicure might not make much sense, so I will tell you a little bit about the story goi...

Hello my lovely readers! Today's post is a highly anticipated post for me to write, last year I met the lovely Becca from A Certain Becca Nails through the Facebook nail page . Ever since that day we have literally spoken every day and got to know each other really well, even though we have never met face to face I really do consider her a really close friend. For quite a few months now we have been talking about doing a swap just between us, and last month we finally got all the bits and pieces together and sent our parcels on their long journey's. Once mine arrived and I had the green light from Becca to open it I dove into my amazing parcel and picked out all the amazing goodies she brought me. When I opened my box of goodies I was greeted by packing peanuts, tons of bubble wrap and some really cool pineapple and minion wrapping paper. Each polish was wrapped so well there was no chance of any breakages, she really went above and beyond I loved the little extra bits ...

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you all had an awesome weekend, mine was quite uneventful but Monday and today have made up for that. I have received some epic nail mail and I still have plenty more due to come through out the rest of the week. I also recently purchased a DSLR camera that should be here in a few days; so I am hoping my blogs picture quality will improve to top off the amazing icing on the cake I also found out today that I won the Meebox mani challenge so I get a free Meebox (woop woop). Today's post is another When Colours Collide post, this is a Facebook group that set bi-weekly nail challenges mixing different colours from the rainbow. This months theme is yellow and grey, at first I couldn't actually come up with anything my mind went totally blank. In the end this is the manicure I decided to go with, hope you like it. I am quite pleased with how this turned out, I would have preferred it if the stars were a little bit smaller but I do love the wolf ...

Hello my lovely readers! I was so happy to finally get this months Meebox yesterday, I was clicking on the tracking link for what seemed like every hour of the day. I always love the themes that Meebox choose to go with, this months theme fit really well as we are in award season. So when we were told it was going to be a Red Carpet theme my mind immediately went to reds and golds. There was also an opportunity for five lucky people to receive a special Classic Chanel polish, I was not one of the winners but my amazing friend Becca was. Huge congratulations to her! So let's open up this months box and see what we have. As usual when I opened my box the first thing I saw was the card telling us about this months theme and what brands where inside the box. I placed that to one side and rummaged around in the paper worms that were keeping my little award winning polishes safe. The first polish I picked out was this large circular bottle made by Smith & Cult, I have ne...

Hello my lovely readers! Today's post is a quick one to show you one of my recent manicure, this has to be in my top 10 favourite mani's just because this Essie polish is gorgeous. I was browsing Facebook recently and came across a post stating that you could buy any Essie polish in Boots for £5.99. This offer included the newer retro revival collection, I like many others have been wanting to get my hands on the very popular and highly talked about Essie Starry Starry Night. So let me show you what I created with this gorgeous polish and an amazing stamping image. Like I said this polish is amazing it may not be a complete dupe for the original Essie Starry Starry night which apparently had smaller glitters and more of them but the revival version is still stunning. First I used two coats of Essie Starry Starry Night, this is a dark blue jelly polish with silver glitters. I didn't have any problems applying the polish and it did reach full opacity in 2 coats f...

Hello my lovely readers, it is that time of the month again. Nailbox! I always dread and love the end of the month I dread it because it is when all of the bills go out and my bank balance looks like it wants to cry. But I also love it because we get amazing nail mail, this months Nailbox is retro themed. When I opened my box I immediately thought of hippies and old time discos. So let's see the goodies inside the box. This month the lovely people at Nailbox treated us to four different polishes and a set of 3D nail wraps. I love how bright and funky these colours are, and the nail wraps look really unique and different.  The first polish is this gorgeous cobalt blue shimmer full of blue and silver micro glitters, this applies well but does take at least 3 coats to become opaque. It has a very sheer formula and with longer nails you may even have to apply a fourth coat to not have any visible nail line. You can buy this Nicole by OPI from Amazon for £8. I was rea...

Hello my lovely readers! I hope all of you had a great weekend, I am happy to say that on Friday night I finally watched the new Deadpool movie. You may not know this about me but I am a huge Marvel comic book fan, so I was thrilled to see they were finally making a Deadpool movie. The movie did not disappoint at all it lived up to all my expectations, and Ryan Reynolds is the perfect actor for the roll. If you have not gone to see this movie yet I would highly recommend it, even if your not into comic books it is still a fabulous movie. I was laughing pretty much the whole time I was in the cinema, it is a great mixture of action, comedy, romance and just pure Deadpool madness. Before me and my boyfriend went off to the Cinema I wanted to make sure my nails looked the part, so I created this mani. These Deadpool nails were really easy to create; all that was needed is a red base colour, a black polish for the half moon nails and his mask along with some paper reinforcement stick...
