Wiki'd Nail Art Challenge - Week 10 - Horror Icon

Hey ladies and gents !!

So this is the final instalment in the wiki'd nail art challenge and I must say, this was the prompt I had been waiting the whole 10 weeks for.

Horror Icon !

I made up a short list of all the horror icons to choose from , but still couldn't pick so I got a little help with my friends to help me choose  which one to go for.

Does this help give you a hint?

Wiki'd Nail Art Challenge - Week 9 - Random wiki article.

So for this week we had to pick a random wiki article to base our nail art on.

I managed to luck out as the very first page I got when I clicked the "random article" button was a pretty awesome one !!

I'm back !! With a new challenge !!

Hello My lovelies !!

I am SUPER excited to be a part of the newest Nail Art Challenge that my wonderful and talented group of ladies are going to be participating in.

The Wiki'd Nails Challenge.

This new challenge will run over 10 weeks this time, and all prompts are based off random Wikipedia articles that myself and the super talented Charlie from Pocket Money Polishes found. This will ensure that everyone's brains will be put to the test as interpretation is going to be key.

A to Z - V is for Valuable ! ( nfsw ) ( again )

Hey guys !

Sorry for such a late post! My week has been hectic !

But here I am ( finally ) ready for a new prompt :)

I did have something specific in mind for my Valuable design, but there has been a chain of events recently that made something click in my brain today and change my design completely.

And yes... it's another rude one :P

A to Z - R is for Redo/Reboot/Recycle/Reuse

Hey All !!

So today's blog post is on a wider scale than a few others, so that ( should have ) made it easier to choose a mani, so of course I had difficulty picking one to reboot out of the many designs I have done over the past 3 years.

I only figured out last night which design to choose, so I must admit I did complete it rather hastily, but I still think it ended up looking rather good, even if i say so myself :)

A fruity collaboration between friends.

So as a special treat for my beautiful followers is an extra little blog post !

A group of wonderful friends and amazing nail artists decided on a lovely fruit inspired collab for everyone to enjoy :)

For my fruit theme I chose apples as I'm a little rubbish at hand painting fruit & they seemed to be the easiest to paint :P

A to Z - Q is for Quirky ! (NSFW)

Hey lovelies !

This week's A to Z post is a little nsfw, so if you don't like comedy swearing, then don't continue !

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !! 

So for the rest of you wonderfully sweary people, this week's theme is "Quirky" and I admit I had a really tough time thinking of what to do, until I realised that my favourite hobby ( aside from nail art of course ) is cross stitch... more specifically subversive cross stitch, with lots of swear words ! haha.

So I based this weeks mani on exactly that :)

A to Z - O is for Old!

Hey all !

Back on time for this week's post YAY!

So this week's theme is "Old" and there isn't a lot older than a fossil huh?

I absolutely adored reading about dinosaurs when I was little and I admit I still love them now.

So what better to put on my nails than an awesome dinosaur skeleton?

RAAWWRR !!!

A to Z - K is for Kitsch !

Hey All ! 

Guess what...? 

Yup ! It's A to Z time !

This week's letter is K, and we had the option to go for "Kitchen Sink" or "Kitsch" theme. I considered the Kitchen Sink idea, but I had too many thoughts swimming around in my head as to what I could do, so I simplified it and went with Kitsch.

kitsch:

NOUN

[MASS NOUN]

Art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way

Only one thing popped into my head when I decided on Kitsch. That thing was Cath Kidston.

A-Z Challenge. E is for Elegant

Hey Guys! It's A-Z time again ! :)

This week is "E" So our theme is "Elegant". This week was fairly easy for me as I had an idea in my head immediately and just went with it  !!

A to Z Challenge - D is for DARK

Hey lovelies !

This week's A-Z theme is "Dark" and as always it's completely open to interpretation, and as you all know I do like a little bit of obscurity, so I thought I would go for something a little different and "out there" ;)

So I new all the other awesome ladies doing the challenge would come up with something amazing, so I thought I would have a go at something amazing too :)

So my take on this weeks "Dark" theme is...

Black Hole. 

You can't get much darker than that, can you?

A to Z - B is for BOLD

Hey all !!

This week has gone by so fast! So today's A to Z theme is "BOLD"

Now there are many ways to interpret bold, but the first thought that came into my head was super bright contrasting colours.

Nothing complicated about this weeks mani, the colours may blow your eyeballs out though.

Happy Halloween blog post

Happy Halloween lovelies !!!

This is the post I have been leading up to all October :)

Herein lies every Halloween design I have made this year! Some of which you may have seen via my Instagram, but some are a few surprises I have sneaked in.

This post is going to be very photo heavy, so I'm going to try and soften the blow by not writing a novel before each one as a description.

First up is a Day of the Dead / Calavera inspired design, I wanted to concentrate on distinguishing features rather than attempt at a teeny tiny whole face on each nail with not a lot of detail.

Four Seasons Blogger Collaboration.

Hey All !

Today is going to be something a little different to normal, myself and 3 other lovely ladies have decided to band together to create a seasonal nail art collaboration.

Hit the jump to see what we all did !

A to Z of Polish "Q" is for.... erm......

Hey guys,

So today was meant to be "Q" day for the A to Z challenge... but even though I have many many polishes.. none of them have a name beginning with Q, it seems that a few others were in the same predicament as myself, so we decided this week would be a cheat week !

So for those of us with no "Q" named polishes we are just going with a "Q" theme !

Hit the jump to see what I came up with.

A to Z of Polish - P is for Papaya !

Hey everyone !

So after my shirt hiatus from the challenge last week due to unforeseen family circumstances, I am back with a double whammy of a post !

It's a colour I have never used before & my first try at a particular design !

Hit the jump for the results and polishes used :)

Nail Art Update

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

 Hey guys !

 SO I've been recovering well from my operation & have been getting in on a few instagram nail art challenges over the last few weeks so I thought I would write a blog post to show you what I've been up to ! :)

 Hit the jump for the photos

My favourite Disney Villians !

So next week is very exciting for me !

I am going to see Maleficent with a very good friend and we are like two small children waiting for Christmas. It's going to be EPIC !!

I'm currently sat at home trying to deal with a lot of physical pain ( which I won't go into ) & my way to deal with  that is usually to sit quietly and do something like watch a film, play card games, or paint my nails.

Now with the Maleficent film around the corner ( for me anyways ! ) I thought about doing some Sleeping Beauty inspired nails, but then as I was getting my paints together I was starting to think about what other Disney Villains there are, and what my favourite ones were.

So I had a think, and below is what I came up with :)

Catching up on some nail art !

Hi guys !!

So I've realised exactly how much nail art I have done over the past few weeks, and so I thought I would make a short blog to show you my favourites.

This will be a pretty picture heavy post ( my personal favourite ) So be prepared for lots of photos & a little bit of waffle from me.

I have a few other posts scheduled for the next few days, but this is a little last minute post as I realised my Nail Art folder was getting a little packed !

Photos are after the jump !
