Running Around The Christmas Tree!

Hey all,

It's December! Well that went bloody quick didn't it!? First term of university is almost over and I am stressing with an exam I have in January! Will this ever end?!?!

I had some time on my hands a few days ago and I decided to crochet a Christmas tree and It came out super duper cute :D I love how it looks! Really brightened my day that I made it :)

I decided to do some nails inspired by it, I went with a simple dotted tree. Got the idea from Kayla over at http://www.kaylashevonne.com/ 

Really easy and cool looking :)

Here it is!

OH DEAR! Ignore my unpainted thumb! I broke the nail on it!

Lemon And Lime!

Hey ladies :)

I have a really simple but soooooooo cute manicure for you gals today!

Yesterday, I went to the beach with my family and decided to take my crochet stuff with me :) I had already crocheted a lemon brooch and decided that this would be a great opportunity to paint my nails green and stick on some lemon fimo cane decals. Then I thought "OH!! green nails = Limes!" So I quickly added limes to my fingers and on my journey to the beach I crocheted a lime brooch!

I used these two as props for my pictures :) after one picture I noticed one of the decals fell off, can you spot it?! lol :P

Here are the pictures :)

Really enjoyed taking pictures on a different background :) what do you think!? 

If you gals wanna buy these cute brooches, check out my etsy store :)

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?!

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?

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!
