Hi lovelies,

Well, this post was meant to be up a lot earlier, but then I forgot that I was going away for a week and so, it didn't get posted.

But, these nails... I really love them. Like, a lot. These are definitely one of my favourite designs this year, if not my absolute favourite.


They were also inspired very heavily by the works of Cath Kidston. It took me a long time to come around to liking her designs, mostly because they are very floral and am not generally a very floral person. However, I can't deny that some of her stuff is just lovely.

Extremely Lovely Blue Nails With A Bit Of Gold

Hi lovelies,

Okay, weirdly enough it's been way longer since my last post than I thought, but oh well. Surely you guys know me well enough by now to now that my posting is erratic at the best of times.

So, these nails I just adore, pretty much because I love this blue to pieces. I picked it up on a whim but love it way more than is rational or logical. Oh well...

The pictures aren't quite true to life in that the blue is a little darker than these pictures show. It's too dark for an electric blue, but too light for a royal blue. It's quite close to ultramarine blue, but a little darker. Actually, matching shades is really fun! I probably be doing this for all my polish colours for a while. :)


As you can see, my winter photography is getting a little better, but it's still not as good as I'd like it to be.... Oh well, onward and upward. I'll just have to keep practicing.

Notebook Nails

Hi there everyone,

So, here's another nail post for you all, because I've just been really excited about nails recently. I actually mostly blame this on Pinterest, which gives me unlimited access to sooooo many nails and now I can have a lovely collection of nailspiration at my finger tips. If you are interested, check out my Pinterest page here.

Anyway, on to the nails of todays post. These took way longer than they should have done but I'm still really pleased with them.


The reason they took as long as they did was mostly because I didn't have a pale enough blue and red/pink to use for the lines and margins so I had to mix the colours I did have with white to create new colours and then when I'd done that it still wasn't pale enough so I had to do a coat of sheer white over the top to make it even paler. So, pretty much, if I had more polish, this all would have been averted... :)

Inspired By: Avenger Assemble - Black Widow

Hi lovelies,

So, I went on a bit of a nail painting spree over the last couple of days and did my nails a lot as well as plan out many other designs. These were probably my favourite ones, mostly for the reason that I've been planning to do some Avengers themed nails for ages.


These, in case you hadn't got it from the pictures or the post title, these were inspired by the Black Widow. In hindsight I probably should've started with an easier Avenger to translate into a nail design, but oh well. Actually, I did think about that before I started, but disregarded that nugget of my own advice. Pretty much because I just really love the Black Widow and Scarlett Johansson.
