Rose and her Coconuts

Hey lovelies

Today I am finally showing you how I 'jazzed' up by simple yet beautiful base of Barry M Coconut (as seen in my previous post here). I really like trying out different polishes for nail stamping so I amazed I havent reached for my all time fave Indie polishes, a-England, before now. Here are the results...

Fun Friday Mani: Purple and Teal Hearts

Good evening my loves

It's time for a super fun Friday mani. I cannot get enough of these two colours together and who doesn't love a bow accent nail? I have so much planned for the next three days and I cannot wait, girly lunches, sister sleepovers, vampire diaries marathon catch up sessions, girly day out on Sunday and brunch on Monday. In between I need to find time to change my nails as often as possible ;-)

Purple, Teal and a cute bow

Happy weekend loves

How are you all doing? I have had a really lovely day. I woke up super early, made myself a cuppa, fed the dogs then all three of us got back into bed to catch up on Instagram, read my favourite blogs and of course just totally relax as its the weekend and it has been a tough week.

Tristam with a Stripey Accent

Good evening lovelies

I hope you are all well? Today is my birthday and I have had an amazing day. My little sister spoiled me rotten from morning til night. So many presents to open this morning and then a full day of eating, shopping, drinking and more eating! These are not the nails I wore for today as I'm a little behind with blogging but the colours are the same so close enough :-)

Spots and a Bow: Galahad and Bright Purple

Happy Good Friday loves

Have you all had a wonderful day? Mine was a little different to the way I had it planned out... In a nutshell I went for a dog walk this morning with my friend Debbie and then when we tried to get back into the house once we were done I realised I had lost my keys! Neither of us had our phones with us so after much searching and then banging on neighbours doors to borrow a phone my little sister arrived like a knight in shining armour and somehow found my keys in the middle of the field that we had already searched three times!

Phew! Time for my nails of the day...

Swatch: a-England: Galahad

Good evening lovelies

I am so excited to add this polish to my growing collection. Thank you to a recent online sale I ticked a couple of absolute lemmings off my list and this is one of them... a-England Galahad...

Swatch: a-England: Tristam

Good evening my loves

TGI Friday! Time to relax and enjoy time with loved ones. I dont have too much planned yet however tomorrow afternoon I am hosting a nail party for 8 very excited 9 year olds so wish me luck :-).

This beauty arrived in the mail on Wednesday and I could NOT wait to use it... Stunning!

Order of the Garter with Accents

Good evening lovelies

I hope you all had fantastic weekends? I had an evening with my sister on Saturday, we ate olives, drank wine and watched Vampire Diaries on DVD. I have seen the whole series before but I am loving the chance to watch it again from scratch with my little sis. On Sunday I had a whole day and evening with Mr LiPP. We had a lazy morning, then went in the city for a touch of shopping before an evening on the sofa with several films and some yummy chocolate.

I love Blue and Copper nails

Good evening lovelies

I dont know if I can find the words to tell you how much I love these colours together. I feel like I never want to take this polish off and I will certainly be using these colours together in lots more manicures over the coming weeks :-)

Saint George - Quick and Easy

Good evening lovelies

Oh my gosh can you believe its November already? In fact I just heard on the radio its only 50 days until Christmas... what?!

Whenever I am in a hurry to do my nails and I need a one coat polish that dries quickly but looks stunning, there is only one choice... Saint George from a-England.

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...

Inspired By: Stripey Dress

Good evening lovelies

Hope you are all well? I have had a lovely relaxing day off today and for once the weather was on my side. The sun shone bright with barely a cloud in the sky so I reached for the sun cream and my kindle and spent a good few hours just making the most of some time on my own. Bliss.

Tonight I am going to show you some nails I did to match a new summer midi dress. Also those eagle eyed viewers will notice this is a rare appearance for my right hand which will explain the awkward hand poses!

Awkward Cinderella hand ;-)

Briarwood with Gold Stamping

Happy Hump Day

Last week I posted a swatch post of Briarwood from the new a-England collection. I wore the polish for five whole days and this is a quick post to show you the final look...

Swatch: Briarwood

Hey lovelies

My goodness where does time go? It is a busy one for me again but I musn't grumble as it keeps me out of trouble until the weekend! We finally had more direct sunshine at a time that I could actually paint my nails so of course I went straight for another beautiful new a-England...

Sleeping Palace Skittlette

Happy Wednesday lovelies

Tonight I am going to show you how I 'dressed up' my beautiful Sleeping Palace swatch. I'm not in love with this finished look but take a quick look and see what you think...

Swatch: Sleeping Palace

Good evening lovelies

A bit of a late post from me as I'm only just home from a long day working in our sister company which is just over two hours away. Never mind at least I'm home now. I have been waiting for glorious sunshine to show you the next a-England polish from the stunning new Burne-Jones collection.

This is Sleeping Palace...

Fated Prince Skittlette nails

Happy Friday lovelies!

Mr LiPP and I (mostly Mr LiPP) are hosting a BBQ tonight for a few of his friends from work. Just a small gathering but we are really looking forward to relaxing after a long week at work with some good friends and some good food.

As I mentioned in my swatch post from yesterday I could hardly bring myself to cover over this beautiful polish, Fated Prince by a-England,  with nail art so I opted for a simple skittlette style :-)

Swatch: Fated Prince

Good evening lovelies

We are slowly getting towards the weekend and I cannot wait... we have not one, not two but three BBQ's to attend this weekend plus a whole host of other fun things planned with friends and family. The forecast is bright sunshine, blue skies and hot, hot, hot! :-)

With all this sunshine I have been able to get some fantastic daylight pictures of my new holo polishes.

Rose Bower Skittlette nails

Good evening lovelies

As promised tonight I am going to show you the skittlette I created to show off the true beauty of my new favourite polish... Rose Bower by a-England.

Swatch: Rose Bower

Good evening lovelies

I am in love with this colour. Adina you have outdone yourself this time! Rose Bower is AMAZING!!
