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!

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!

Mhhmmmm Cupcakes!

Hey all!

Ramadan is finally here and it's day two...long days of eating nothing and crocheting and doing my nails all day!

Currently super tired but sleep just wont come to me! Instead I'm blogging :D woohooo!

I'm really craving cupcakes and decided it was time to edit the cupcake nail art I did about a week ago and get to posting it :D

Really love how they turned out and I used the Barry M gelly's I have - Greenberry, Keylime, Mango and the special edition Barry M polish - A (pink) and the textured yellow which I cant remember the name for the life of me :P lol

Here are the results! :D

And of course, what is cupcake nail art without a delicious crochet cupcake?! :D

Love how the cupcake turned out :D and it's super squishy too!!

What do you guys thinkies?!

Swatcher - SpaRitual - Emerald City!

Hey All :D

In my last post I swatched SpaRitual - Optical Illusion and mentioned that SpaRitual polishes are 5 free and vegan!  

Well, today's post is a swatch of SpaRitual's Emerald City :D I loveeeeeeeee this colour! It's such a lovely bluey greeny colour with a gelly finish and really shiny!! 

I found the polish to be quite sheer which meant I had to paint on many layers, I did one thin layer then two thick ones which is easy with the lovely thin polish brush which perfectly goes to my cuticles and gives an even layer of polish :) Since my nails are really white, after a few hours I added another coat just to hide my nail line!

SpaRitual polishes dry fast so the layering was no problem for me :) I would recommend layering it over white which would make the colour really pop!

Here are the swatches :D 

You can definitely see how shiny it is :D I am really happy with this polish, but it would be better if it wasn't so sheer!

SpaRitual polishes retail for £9.75 and to view more of their polishes check out their website www.sparitual.co.uk :)

What do you think?!

Stay tuned, next time I have some nail art using these polishes :D 

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Greeny Gradienty Glittery!

Hey All,

Simple nail art today, I have a gradient topped of with glitter! But not any old boring glitter :D its NYC - lights, camera, glitter!

An amazing small fine glitter with blue and pink hex glitters in it :D I've been topping this over a lot of colours as you can tell from previous posts!

As i've mentioned before, gradients are so tedious...all the clean up needed afterwards..UGH! I used tape and damn PVA glue...still didn't help with the clean up!

Anywho, still got this working :D here it is!

My nail match the sunburst granny square I'm working on :D 

What do you all thinkies?!

Thanks for reading!

Barry M Gelly Gradient!

Hey All!

Today I have a simple manicure for you all to drool over! I've created a simple gradient using the two Barry M Gelly colours I recently purchased. Two of my current favorite colour, Keylime and Mango :D

Check out the swatches and reviews for Mango HERE and for Keylime HERE!! 

I combined both colours to create a gradient, I find gradients kinda tedious because whenever I do it I never get a good gradient effect or I mess it up somehow!

Here it is <(") <---- Penguin lol 

It came out okay, but could have been more gradienty :P lol

What do you think of gradients?!

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Swatcher - BarryM Gelly's - Keylime!

Hey Girls!

As you all know I love the colour green loads and I've mentioned that a lot! I have literally found my perfect green :) And its Barry M's new gelly summer polish, the colour Keylime!!!! OMG best green ever!!

I find it a bit streaky if the first layer is thick so I applied a thin coat then a thicker one to give a better coverage! Love the shine I get when its fully dried!

Here are my swatches :)

Cute neon green crochet heart :)

Seriously in love with this green, its my all time number one Barry M colour as well as my favorite green!

What do you think of the Barry M Gelly's??

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!
