Metallic Glitter Nails

Happy Tuesday loves

Tonight I am showing you some seriously pretty metallic nails. I just cannot stop staring at these!

Simple Nails with a Glitter Accent

Hey lovelies

Sometimes it is true what they say.. simple is best. Every now and again I lose my nail art mojo a little and just stick with nice pretty colours and simple accent nail. Tonight is no exception to that...

Happy Fathers Day: England Football nails

Happy Sunday loves

Today is Fathers Day and my little sis and I are very excited to be spending quality time with our Dad. The three of us are going for a drink followed by lunch. Today my nails are football related for two reasons. The first being that unless you really are living in a cave you cannot fail to know that World Cup 2014 has just started, I am a huge football fan and get very swept up in the whole England craze. Secondly, football is mine and Dads thing. We talk about it, text about it, laugh and cry about it. Its our Dad/Daughter bond :).

Black with Barry M Crystal Glaze

Happy Tuesday

I am not sure I have done this flakie glitter top coat the justice it deserves but I thought you might like to see it anyway :-)

Dotticure with Flower Accent

Happy Friday!

Another week flies by... Tonight I am planning a date night with Mr LiPP. I am going to cook us a nice three course meal (to be fair I will likely cheat and buy the dessert) and treat us to a bottle of something bubbly to get the weekend underway. We have some decorating that needs to be finished and as we are busy for the next four weekends its a bit of a now or never situation. It will be worth it in the end :-)

Subtle Stamping: Peach and Gold

Happy Hump Day

I hope you are all having a good week so far? Tonight Mr LiPP is off to the cinema so I am looking forward to a pampering session. I have a fantastic bright cherry pink colour to put on my hair, a face mask from Turkish barbar to (hopefully) work wonders on my skin and a peppermint exfoliating scrub for my hands and feet. Now I just need someone to pour my wine and feed me grapes :-)

Buried Treasure Flowers

Happy Friday!

As this post goes live we will be on our way to the airport! Tomorrow morning we fly to Bulgaria for a week of celebrations with friends and loved ones. I have scheduled just a few posts to keep my much treasured blog going whilst I am away :-). Here is how I 'dressed up' the beautiful swatch of Buried Treasure.

Swatch: Buried Treasure by Orly

Good evening lovelies

Just a simple little swatch post from me as I am getting for a meal at Loch Fyne with my little sis. We ate at Loch Fyne several times over Christmas and it was beautiful each time so I really looking forward to trying their set menu tonight.

This is a swatch I have been dying to get around to as this polish was on my lemming list for what seemed like forever. I could not believe my luck when I found it in the sale for £2 :-).

Squared Lola Lavender

Happy Thursday lovelies

Tonight I am going to show you my final look for the gorgeous swatch of Lola Lavender I posted yesterday. I did not want to cover too much of this polish up as the colour is so uniquely beautiful so I ended up with lightly stamped squares...

Green and Black: Glitter and Stars

Happy Friday!

I hope you all have lots of lovely plans to look forward to this weekend. Tonight we are meeting with friends to finalise our plans for Bulgaria next month. A nice hot chilli and a couple of glasses of wine is just what the doctor ordered :-).

Coral Base with Pink Hearts

Good evening lovelies

Can you believe it is Wednesday already? I love it when time flies and it gets ever closer to the weekend :-). As always I have lots to look forward too. On Friday night we will meet up with a group of friends to plan our skiing holiday to Bulgaria. We are going in February for my brother-in-laws 30th birthday and I really cannot wait. Lots to talk about and plan as I have only ever been on sunshine holidays before.

Here is my how I wore the swatch of Gilded Coral I showed you yesterday...

Swatch: Orly: Gilded Coral

Hey lovelies

A simple but pretty swatch for you tonight... this is Gilded Coral.

Owl Nail Art

Happy Sunday everyone!

Yesterday I showed you just the swatches of these pretty Orly colours. Today I am sharing with you the finished version of this nail art. I used one of the polish names... Nite Owl... to completely inspire my choices and props :-)

Swatch: Orly: Nite Owl and Sea Gurl

Happy Saturday!

Did you all have lovely starts to your weekends? We certainly did and I still have lots more to look forward to. Tonight Mr LiPP and I are off to celebrate our friend Samatha's 29+2 Birthday and on Sunday the little sis and I are off to a baby shower.

Today I am showing you two beautiful Orly polishes...

Swatch: Orly Androgynie

Good evening lovelies

Today was my first day back at work since Christmas Eve so I will keep this post a little on the short side as I need the evening to recover from doing my actual day job after so much lovely time off over Christmas :-).

Clothes Show Nails: Inspired by my dress

Good evening lovelies

A little break from Christmas nails... tonight I will show you the nails I wore at the Clothes Show a few weekends ago and also a picture of all the lovely goodies I treated myself too :-)

I started with a polish from Barry M that I believe is called Burgundy. Unfortunately this particular bottle has no label on the bottom so I hope I have got my online research correct :-)

Christmas Nails: Christmas Jumper Fair Isle Print

Good evening lovelies

These are some of my most favourite Christmas nails ever! I have really gotten into the Christmas spirit this year and even purchased my first ever Christmas jumper! Its just a simple grey with a white snowflake print but its a good start and I am sure I will go all out next year :-)

Swatch: Orly Dayglow

Wow... December already!

It will soon be time for some fun and festive Christmas nail art but until then I will show you, quite possibly, the plainest nails you will ever see on this blog!

Introducing white nails...

The polish is called Dayglow and it a recent purchase of mine. I was impressed with the formula and what you see in these pictures is three thin coats with Seche Vite top coat. 

As always with me I could not leave these nails alone so check back soon to see how I 'jazzed' them up :-)

Swatch: Orly Sparkling Garbage

Good evening :-)

I have been so excited to try out this polish so when I finally got my hands on it at the weekend I just knew it would jump to the top of my swatch queue :-)

Orange with Pink Circles

Good evening!

Tonight I am going to share a pretty pink and orange combo. I really love these two colours together.
