Cancun with an Opal Accent

Good evening lovelies

At last I hear you cry! Well the lovely Samantha at least. It seems I have been missed and that was enough to inspire me to try much harder with my blog. My absence can be explained quite simply and you nail lovelies will no doubt sympathise... bad breakage (real bad), nasty cut right across my cuticles (stupid kitchen door handle) and life (bad then good then busy!). Enough talking... let the green nails do the talking.

Swatch: China Glaze: Put A Bow On It

Its Friday...

I am always excited for the weekend so I thought it was time to break out a fancy new glitter polish to help celebrate :). I actually purchased this polish in the January sales and am only now getting around to trying it out! Bad nail polish owner.

Blackened Blue with bling

Good evening lovelies

Ever since I received this beautiful colour in the Pink Nail Mail Box from the lovely Vicky over at The Polish List I have been dying to use it. I love colours like this that are just so beautiful there is no need for fancy nail art or stamping so I decided to keep things very simple.

Abstract Dots with Barry M Mattes

Happy Wednesday!

I feel like I am on a real roll with Matte polishes at the moment. I absolutely love this Barry M collection and am keen to see which colours they will add to it for the Autumn Winter. In the meantime I will carry on using the beautiful neutrals and brights from the current range.

Swatch: Barry M Matte: Miami

Good evening lovelies

Today is a Bank Holiday here in the UK and as is to be expected... it rained all day! Literally non stop. Great excuse for an impromptu duvet day though :). Here is a quick but pretty pink swatch for your viewing pleasure.

Dry Marble: Beautiful Barry M's

Happy Friday!

I have been looking forward to showing you these nails. I 'created' them last weekend after I spent some time working on a nail wheel which can be seen on my nails only instagram account @L_i_P_P

It brought my nail mojo back and what could be more fun than a brightly coloured dry marble...

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...

Double Swatch: Sally Hansen: Straw-ready and S-teal a Base

Happy Wednesday

I hope you week has been full of fun so far? Mine is flying by a little too quickly! I have something on every night and am crazy busy at work too. I dont  mind this week going quickly though as I am really looking forward to the weekend. It is the fabulous Miss Bunn's 30th bday and she is having a 1920's themed party :)

Tribal Nails: Inspired By my Tribal Skirt

Hey loves

Tonight I am finally showing you my tribal nails inspired by one of my favourite skirts. I wore these a few weekends ago for a big team night out with work and I was really pleased with how the colours and design complimented my outfit. As you can see from the pictures I used my skirt as the background :).

Swatch: Barry M Matte: Cancun

Good evening lovelies

Time for a quick swatch post tonight. It might be quick but its still very beautiful. As you know I love all things green and this polish might just be my most perfect shade... EVER!

Swatch: Barry M Limited Edition: Carousel

Good evening lovelies

I love it when any new limited edition nail polish is released but I love it even more when it is Barry M limited edition with super cute heart print lids. This coral shade was exclusive to Boots and I literally rushed out of work on the day it was released to ensure I got my hands on it. I would hate to miss out :).

Neon Interlocking Dots: A Bit of a Puzzle

Good evening loves

I was supposed to be on holiday today but at the last minute I decided to go into work and save my last day off for in a few weeks time when my sister and her hubby are also off work. We are thinking we might get a boat out and potter around the Norfolk Broads for the day. To cheer me up about being at work I decided to paint a little neon happy on my nails...

Swatch: Black Luna: Dragon Fire

Happy Sunday

I hope you are having wonderful weekends and the sun is shining wherever you are? Today I am showing you a beautiful Indie polish that was sent to me as part of the Pink Nail Mail UK box by the lovely Vicky of The Polish List fame. I don't own that many indie polishes at all so I was excited to try this out...

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...

Swatch: Barry M Gelly: Coconut

It's Friday...

I am so looking forward to tonight. I am taking one of my very good friends out for a meal to celebrate her birthday and also so I can thank her for all her help with dog sitting recently. Sarah has been kind enough to have my doggies over at her house so I can still go off to Festivals and various other events with the girls.

This polish just blew me away... Coconut

Pretty Pink with Paisley

Happy happy Thursday!

Almost the weekend my loves. I've had a really good and positive four days at work. Time has flown by, I feel like I have achieved a lot and once the weekend arrives I feel like I will deserve the downtime.

Tonight I am showing you the nails I wore to the Polo a few weekends ago, not my finest work but in real life they looked much better and I just adore this paisley print.

Inspired By: Cream and Coral Dress: Gel Nails

Something a little different from me today... I am showing you some gel nails that I created on my little sister, Laura. These were designed to match a stunning dress, that just so happens to be the backdrop to these pictures, which Laura wore to a wedding a few weeks ago.

Swatch: Barry M Gelly: Elderberry

Hi lovelies

I have a super quick Sunday swatch for you today. Today me and my sister are spending the day with our old boss Paul. We have lots planned and would really like the weather to behave itself just for once! Its mid July but the sun seems to have forgotten that!

This is Barry M Gelly in Elderberry...

Dots and Dots and Dots: Festival Nails

Hey lovelies

Total blog neglect has happened recently as I have had time off work and a change in routine has meant that I just not got around to painting my nails! To ease me back in gently I am pulling these pics from the archives. They are only a few weeks old and I wore them to a one day festival. I did my toes to match but I will spare you those pictures!

Rainbow Sprinkles: Barry M Matte

Hey lovelies

So I will admit that these ended up being a bit of a nail fail but as I like the idea and the colours I am still going to share the pictures with you. Not my best work but I will let you decide...
