Dorkface Inspired Nail Art

Hello! How are we all today? I sincerely hope you have had a much better day than me... I started the day by leaving my house, crossing the road and then slipping on the wet pavement resulting in a scratched foot, bruised knees, dirty trousers and half the skin taken off my elbow. Unfortunately I was on the way to the train station for my volunteering placement so I couldn't go back to bed and hide for the rest of the day, boooo. Anyhow, I'm now safely tucked up in bed finishing this post! This post/nail art has been a long time coming and I'm so pleased to have finally got round to doing it! I recently discovered the lovely and very talented lady that is Jemma, owner of Dorkface. Not only does she have a great blog and a beautiful instagram, but she also has an Etsy shop with amazing artwork and other fab bits! Way, way back in January (I said it was a long time coming) I asked her if she would be happy for me to try and recreate one of her paintings as nail art. Fortunately for me, she said yes!

Halloween Gradient

Okay so let's pretend it isn't the last day of October (aka Halloween) and I've only done four Halloween mani's... I was SO excited about this month and it's been a total flop in terms of nails. But I won't moan too much because I'm actually pretty happy with the ones I'm sharing today, even if doing them meant I didn't go to bed until 1:30am! Sparklea Nail Polish released some perfect polishes for Halloween so I just had to use them before my time was up. Let's take a look shall we?

Born Pretty Store - Moonlight Water Decals Review

*Press Sample*

Evening all! Today I have a rather unseasonal mani to share with you but hey, who cares! A little while ago I received another set of goodies from Born Pretty Store (you can read my first review for them here) but because I've been so busy, I've only just got round to trying them out. This post is all about some lovely little moon water decals which feature the different phases of the moon. I've seen a few mani's like these on Instagram so wanted to have a go myself, even if I wasn't going to be hand painting it! 

Bestie Twin Nails with A Certain Becca Nails

Hello everybody! Apologies for my absence yet again, it's been a crazy time and I've had a lot going on. For the first time in ages I've also felt a bit unmotivated to do nails. Never fear, I'm slowly working my way back and today I have something very exciting! Months ago me and one of my favourite people aka Becca from A Certain Becca Nails were talking and decided to do a twin mani. It's taken us a while but we got there eventually! I think I'm right in saying I encouraged Becca to buy the stamping plate we used so that's why we settled on this mani. I guess we should take a look at we came up with, yippee!

First Born Pretty Store Review

 *Press Sample*

I know I'm posting a day late but it's just been such a crazy week, I'm actually surprised I've managed a post at all! Today I feel like I'm part of the "in crowd" as I'm doing a little Born Pretty Store review. For my review I chose three products: a stamping plate, stamping polish and liquid latex. What a perfect stamping combo eh? All I needed was a stamper and I could have had a Born Pretty set haha!
