Only Double Stamping Will Do

Hey lovelies

Tonight I am going to show you my finished nails using Barry M Chai as a base. Also this is one of very few occasions that I double stamped each nail and I absolutely love how the finished look came out :)

Easy Splatter Nails

Happy Tuesday

Splatter nails have been on my to-do list for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love how they look and really admire other nail bloggers gorgeous pictures and colour choices. I just cant face the clean up that would be needed after blowing nail polish through a straw in the hope that some of it lands on your nail. Time to cheat and break out the stamping plates...

Pink, so much Pink

Happy Friday

Its the weekend... Also I hate to rub it in but I have Monday and Tuesday off work and I cannot wait. A long weekend to enjoy celebrating my sisters birthday, dog walking and nail painting! Perfection. I am totally in love with these nails! For those of you who dont know I am a pink fiend! Literally pink hair, pink clothes, pink accessories... even a pink collar on my little girl Lily dog :). If you dont believe me check out my personal insta... @louisejane231 :))

Happy Friday!!

I am lucky enough to be enjoying an extra long weekend as I had today off work and also I have treated myself to Monday off work too :-). As always I have lots of lovely plans with my sister and some of our best friends so my time will fly but for now I am going to stop long enough to write this blog and enjoy the pictures of these nails that I am excited to show you.

Blue and Pink Lace nails

Good evening lovelies

I hope your week is going well so far? Mine is flying by as I have been busy busy with lots of great things still to come :-). Tonight my mum is coming to the nail room for a gel mani pedi before she jets off to Tunisia on Friday. I am going to do us a spot of tea so that after our nail session we can sit and put the world to rights over a glass of Pinot.

These are the nails I wore to Newmarket Races a few weekends ago...

Navy Lace and Roses Nails

Good evening

Tonight my sister Laura and I are off to see Professor Green at a venue on the local University campus. We got the tickets almost a year ago so its been a long time coming but we are looking forward to a cheeky week night out :-).

Just time to show you these pretty but simple nails...

Galaxy Nails: Vortex and Planets

Happy Monday

Its time for our first sister Yo Sushi night of the year :-). I just have time to share with you my final look using last nights stunning swatch of Galaxy by Boots No 7.

Navy Hearts and Glitter

Whoop whoop... Friday!

I am looking forward to this weekend so very much so what could be better than combining two of my favourite colours into a very pretty nail art look :-)

Here we have navy, pink and glitter all in one... LOVE!

Inspired By: Our table name cards

Good evening lovelies

As well as nail art I also enjoy dabbling in a little art and crafts. For as many years as I can remember I have always made name cards for our Christmas table and although we no longer stay in and cook the main lunch time meal we do still have a bunch of family over in the morning for sausage rolls and bucks fizz. These nails match the name cards almost perfectly.. :-)

Christmas Nails: Mittens

Good evening lovelies

Another busy evening ahead for me. Tonight I have two gel nail clients both looking for Christmas designs which will be lots of fun for me to do. After that I am hoping to colour my hair ready for the final pre-Christmas week and maybe fit in a quick change of nail polish too :-)

Christmas Nails: Snowflakes

Happy Monday

Tonight is the only time between now and Christmas Day that I do not have any plans so I am going to make the most of it and just take the opportunity to pamper myself a little and then chill out with hubs.

Here is how I wore the swatch of Obsidian I posted yesterday...

Christmas Nails: Baubles

Good evening lovelies

Time for installment two of... Christmas Nails! I love doing themed nail art and there really is no better theme than Christmas!

Yesterday I showed you just the swatch of Absinthe, the gorgeous green from the Velvet Goth collection, and today I will show you just perfect it is as a base for baubles :-)

Happy Halloween: Spiders and Cobweb Nails

Happy Halloween

I have so enjoyed working on my Halloween themed nails. I think I have saved the best until last and I would hope that you agree...

Feathers that Loves Me Not

Happy Monday loves

I do hope you all had fantastic weekends? Little sis and I went to the most amazing wine and tapas bar on Saturday, we ordered a bottle of stunning Sauvignon and as many tapas dishes as we could name and sat for hours putting the world to rights! Perfect :-).

Whilst this may not be the most detailed or complicated nail art I have ever done... I cannot tell you how much I LOVE it! My favourite polish, with my favourite holo top coat and one of my most favourite stamps!

Two in One: Green and Blue Nails

Happy Hump Day lovelies

Regular followers may feel a little de ja vu looking at this mani but I assure you its all new and created especially for this post. I have in fact shown you these colours and prints in the past but this is the first time I put them together and I love how it looks...

Textured Polish Challenge: Navy and Butterflies

Happy Friday!

Challenge complete! I made it through the full week with the same textured polish on all nails except my middle and ring fingers. It was the perfect week to do this challenge as my personal nail painting time was limited to less than ten minutes a night! I've done 5 sets of gel polish nails, 2 sets of gel pedicures and been out for a lovely meal to Ask Italian. Busy!

My grande finale nails...

Textured Polish Challenge: the Love Skittlette

Good evening

Another week, another mini challenge! This time I decided that I like wearing my pink Barry M texture polish so much that I am going to keep it on all week and just change the polish on the other nails. All week my manicures will feature Kingsland Road on my index and little finger nails so first I will tell you a little about that polish...

All My Favourite Things: Skittlette

Good evening lovelies

TGI Friday! Its been an incredibly busy week for me. I am extending my team by 9 people and in order to find that many amazing people I have so far held upwards of 35 interviews and only picked 4 so far! I am sick of the sound of my own voice and definitely bored of the 10 interview questions I picked. Oh Well!

At least my nails are looking fabulous though... ;-)

Rose Briar and Flowers

Happy Thursday everyone!

I am so excited as I am off work tomorrow for Mr LiPP's birthday celebrations which means we get a lovely long weekend together. Weather permitting we are going to the beach with the dogs and then we are going to cook great Mexican food, drink some shots and watch Dexter series 8.

Here are some very quick nails I did a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the sunshine disappeared which meant I couldn't capture the true beauty of Rose Briar but I will share these anyway...

Caviar Beads and Feather Nails

Happy Hump Day!

Yes it is Wednesday already! Seriously how quick does time fly when I am so busy at work!

Time for more Caviar Beads... I really hope I do not have regular followers who hate this look as my obsession is taking over my blog ;-).
