Dotty Flowers and Super Green Grass!

Hey Ladies,

If you remember in yesterdays post I did a green gradient (HERE) that I am still so proud of! :D To add a little something to it so its not plain I added some flowers with a dotting tool.

It's like the simplest thing anyone (even me!) can do! and still looks super duper pretty and cute :)

Here it is!


Slightly out of focus! whoooops!

Crochet <3


I love adding these cutesy little crochet hearts I made to my manicures! :D

Thanks for reading!

Awesome Green Gradient!

Hey all!

Today I unlocked an achievement! I have finally managed to create a three tone gradient successfully with all the colours blended! I have done a green gradient before which you can find HERE but its only two toned and terrible!

I am actually so proud of how it turned out :D seriously chuffed and its boosted me to try out millions more colour combinations!

Clean up was totally easy because I dipped a cotton bud into acetone and used my nail to guide it, why I didn't try this out before I don't know!

Here it is :D!!





Cute little crochet green heart <3
:D still super proud of how it turned out! What do you guys thinkies?!

Hey ladies :)

Yeah, so it's the same story again...nail block and I cant think of shit to do!

Striping Tape Gradient Manicure!

Hey ladies :D

I've been having a good few days, just crocheting and doing nails :) what more could I want?

I love checking on my favorite bloggers and their content, recently Clair (Nuthin'ButANailThing) has been doing tutorials lately and I recently followed her fishtail manicure, which was so easy to follow and I actually managed to pull off something half decent :D Find it HERE 

A couple days ago I checked her blog and saw that she had done a tutorial for Nailed It!! Magazine OMG! SOOOOO proud of her! That's like massive recognition and I was just so happy for her!

To show my appreciation I followed her tutorial and here it is :D!!!





My striping tape is utter BULLSHIT and it really pissed me off because the colour seeped through so I had to draw on the white lines myself! Although having to do that I still love how it turned out :D so thank you Claire!

What do you thinkies?!

Thanks for reading!

Jelly Sammich With Pink Sapphire!

Hey ladies :)

As you may remember yesterday I posted a swatch of my current favorite glitter (HERE) which is Barry M's - Pink Sapphire!
I adore the colour and the little glitter bits in it!

I decided to do  a jelly sandwich with it, its my first one ever and I am so happy how it turned out! Just turned out super perfect and I can see myself doing this more and more!

I first painted a coat of PVA glue to make it easier to remove due to the glitter!
Then I added two coat of the Nude Silhouette by Rimmel london and then I added one thick coat of the glitter and placed some of the glitters. I let that dry fully and then added two coats of the nude colour on top again then top coat!

That seems like so many layers but if you let them dry fully you wont have a problem :) watch a movie or something! I was watching The Proposal while painting my nails!

Here is the sammich :D





What do you guys think?! :)

Swatcher - Barry M - Pink Sapphire!

Hey all :)

I've been going through a faze where I am really super duper in LOVE with glitter! I went out and bought a few of 'em from the brand Barry M!

One of the first I bought was Pink Sapphire :) A lovely glitter that consists of pink and silver hexes and silver bar glitters with really tiny pink glitter all suspended in a clear base! 

I absolutely love it!!!! I cant get enough of layering it over different colours and my favorite combination is the glitter over a nude base!

Here it is :)





Love how it looks on my nails! I can definitely see myself needing a second bottle :D

What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading!

Crochet Penguin Nail Art!

Hey ladies!

How are you all doing today? :)

As all of you can see, I'm a bit of a crochet geek too and have been making cute little props to go with some of the nail art I do :) 

A few days ago I crocheted a cute little penguin (took me bloody forever!) which I am so proud of :D She turned out so cute and perfect!

This inspired me to paint her on my nails :) I have done penguin nails before but this one is a little different because its a greeny bluey colour lady penguin!

Here are the pictures :D 




I love how it turned out, I think I did really well this time round even though its such an easy design :)

Here is the cutie penguin!! :D




What do you guys think of crochet and nails? :) Do you like this design?

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Fishy Fishtail!

Hey Girls :)

Fishtail Manicure...something I've always wanted to try but as soon as I do I fail miserably. I have hands that shake when I concentrate which makes, making a line a bloody NIGHTMARE! 

A few days ago Claire from Nuthin' But A Nail Thing Posted a tutorial which you can find HERE that shows how to do the fishtail mani in smaller manageable steps for someone like me :P haha

I had to give it a go again, there is hope :D and of course I did, painted a coat of white then used Barry M Gelly - Mango, Greenbery and Keylime to do the tails!

I have to say, the tutorial really helped me but still I'm not as perfect as Claire doing the fishtail!

Here it is :)





I think it turned out okay, but could've been better! I find it hard choosing the right colours.

What do you guys think!?

Thanks for reading!

Blue Roses!

Hey all,

I saw this tutorial a few days ago but I completely forgot from where! My terrible memory is just a joke!

The tutorial showed how to make roses using two of the same colours but different shades and making swirls using a dotting tool!

Its so easy that even I was able to pull it off, I love how it turned out and the base colour really makes the roses pop!

Here it is :)






I absolutley love how this manicure turned out and it was so easy to do!

What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading!

I Scream For Ice-Cream!

Hey all :)

Tis the season to om nom nommmm on Ice-cream till you cool down and want more, more and more!!

I asked a dear friend of mine, is there any colour I haven't really used much? And he said I should do a dark red kinda colour and I found the perfect one in my stash!

Of course, it reminded me of a berry ice-cream and I just had to do an ice-cream on my accent nail :D and now I want some!

I added some glitter, to act as yummy sprinkles! Yaay :D 





And of course no manicure is done without a crochet item matching! So of course I crocheted a berry Ice-cream!


What do you thinkies?! 

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!
