A-Z - Y is for YOU !


So here's the second of my catch up blog posts !

This one is from the "You", now there are so many things that I would class as me, one of those being a lover of all things obscure, so  I decided to think outside of the box, and came up with something that makes all of you too !!

A to Z - L is for Lines !

Hey All !

So this week's A to Z post was a bit of a faff for me.

I had done this pretty cool design for lines week, and then my brain decided it could do one better. But my brain failed me and I ended up with two massive nail fails. Sigh.

SO without further ado! Here's my original idea that doesn't look terrible at all !

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 to Z of nails - I is for INSPIRED

Hi Everyone !!

Many apologies for my little unintended hiatus, My PC decided to stop working as of Christmas Eve, so I had no access to a computer all over Christmas and New Year ! Luckily though my new one arrived yesterday so I can start blogging again YAY !! :)

My first blog post of the new year is of course part of the ongoing A to Z of nails challenge, and this week is the letter I, and our prompt for this week is inspired, so I decided to use an awesomely foxy jumper of mine as my inspiration !

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 of Polish. "V" is for.... Vanilla !

Hey All !!

I hope you're all having a nice Thursday so far :)

So I went through all of my polishes to find a good "V" to use for today's challenge, but I didn't have one ! So I hot footed it out to Superdrug yesterday to get myself  "Vanilla" from Barry M's Matte range, and I ended up coming out with 11 polishes ! Ooops !

Aaaaaanyway, by the skin of my teeth, I managed an autumny inspired design. Hit the jump to see what I did.

Vinyls ! Stickers ! and Stencils ! Oh My !!

Hi Guys !!

I wanted to share with you today some amazing nail mail I got from the lovely Sarah at She Sells Seashells online store !

I was recently one of the lucky few to be chosen to participate in the She Sells Seashells focus group for their new vinyl range & I absolutely loved everything I got sent to try out.

She Sells Seashells is a UK based nail art supply store, I've been shopping there since it first opened and I adore everything they have in stock from tiny little mermaid & unicorn charms, to gorgeous steampunk pieces to adorn your digits.

As a thank you gift for helping out with the focus group, everyone was sent a cute little package containing more wonderful vinyls and some sneaky peekies of yet to be released items !! One of which I shall be showing you after the jump !
