Hey there, Today's Challenge is a Black & White Half-Moon Manicure! So.....I did a black and white half-moon design! Duhh.... First things first today I went to Superdrug and purchased some nail polish, believe it or not I do not own any pastel colours so I bought a nice green and purple colour! Also another thing is I don't own any plain black polish I have a shimmery one so I decided that today was the day to buy a fully jet black uhh... black polish! Here are the polishes! From L-R ~ NYC City Blackout, Mint...

Half-Moon Manicure ~ Tutorial ~ Envious Green!

Hey there, Have you ever wondered how the half-moon manicure is achieved?? I did too! until I found out what is used to create the perfect curve, you wouldn't believe it but hole-punch reinforcer's are used!  Now to the tutorial! First paint your nails in any colour you like but make sure it is lighter that the colour you want to paint on top! I painted my nails a nice green by Color Club! For this step make sure your nails are COMPLETELY dry to avoid any peeling while taking of the stickers!...

Day 6 ~ Black& White Challenge ~ Black Rainbow!

Hey there, The theme for today's Black & White Challenge is......A gradient base with black on top! I've seen a manicure all around the Internet where a few colours are painted on the nail like a rainbow then after it is dry thin strips of tape are laid on top and black is painted over the nail! SOOOOO MUCH PATIENCE is needed for this manicure as you have to let the rainbow base dry for a couple of hours to avoid the tape lifting it off!! I have no patience whatsoever but I tried to control myself going nuts! Here is...

Newspaper Nails!

Hey there, A while back wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy before I created my blog I saw loads of newspaper nails and I really wanted to try it! I finally got round to buying rubbing alcohol (only £1.79 for 500ml!!) and I couldn't wait to paint my nails! I painted on 2 coats of white nail polish then dipped the newspaper pieces I cut randomly into the rubbing alcohol then transferred it onto my nails! Here is the result!! Although its a bit messy I still love it and it looks way better in real life! Thanks for reading :D ...

Day 3 ~ Black & White Challenge ~ 30 SECONDS TO MARS

Hey there, Today's challenge is....*drum roll*.....Inspired by a band!  Not many people know this but I am a bit of a rocker I cant stand Pop or R'n'B music (id rather jump off a cliff)  As my inspiration for today's manicure I decided to do 30 Seconds To Mars because I just love them! My favourite song of all time is "This is War"  My friends Leslie-Anne and Rebecca like them too! They've been waiting all day to see my manicure!  But....they are going to have to wait a little longer...

Day 2 ~ Black & White Challenge ~ Number Crunchin' Time!

Hey there, Day two of the Black and White Challenge is.........*drum roll* Black base with White *BOOM*  Ive always HATED maths! I did A-Level maths and I failed miserably so I thought why not stamp numbers on my nails just to show the little place in my heart for maths (even though I hate it!) You may think that this design I did took me a minute or two BUT you have no idea how painful it was *sobs* I had to do it so many times just to get the numbers on my nails! The problems I faced were the nail polish drying too fast...
