Caviar beads

December 2013 - Painted these for new year (original new year manicure didn't last!) Barry M blue with a marine coloured caviar accent nail.

This is the first time I've used anything like caviar beads on my nails, I hope they last the evening!

Winter nails

December 2013 - Another textured polish (do you see a theme recurring?) This time by barry m, I think it's called tnp8 - white pearl.

The colour reminded me of snow so I have painted a snowy accent nail!

Quite possibly my worst nail decision to date

November 2013 - So for my birthday I received a voucher for a nail bar, on a whim I decided to get acrylic nails. Worst. Decision. Ever! Although they looked lovely, my fingers were so sore afterwards; they felt so strange! I had them on a little over a week when i decided i needed to take them off. 

Getting them off was a nightmare in itself, it took over 3 hours of dissolving them in acetone and scraping them off with an orange stick before filing the plastic off (process shown in pictures)

Never again!

Matte pink with purple dots

November 2013 - Title says it all! :)

Striping tape fun

November 2013 - Orange and Grey, fun using my striping tape!

Birthday nails

November 2013 - I received several new nail polishes for my birthday, couldn't make my mind up on how to paint them!

Navy blue sparkles

October 2013 - I had higher hopes for this polish, it took 4 coats to get it like this; but I was too impatient to let all the coats dry to it smudged!

Job interview nails

October 2013 - Nude nails with white polkadots for my interview. I got the job!

Halloween nails

October 2013 - My Halloween nails, cutsie little spider and it's web!

More textured polish

October 2013 - Having a love affair with textured polish <3 this is rimmel space dust. It's not actually black, it has blue and green flecks but it is SO hard to photograph!

Big change!!

September 2013 - So I cut my nails right back, shortest they've ever been! I much prefer them like this, easier to handle. I painted them with frosted sand (again!), this time in silver.

Drunken nails

September 2013 - So whilst under the influence of wine, I painted my nails like so! Not half bad for it being freehand I guess.

Nude with gold accent nail

September 2013 - Again with the frosted sand. This time using the gold as an accent nail with nude polish. I like it, I think it's classy!

Frosted sand - GOSH

September 2013 - Frosted sand look polish in frosted silver and frosted gold. Absolutely adore them! Similar to liquid sand.

Holo with a little flower

August 2013 - Pretty holographic polish, looks fantastic in the sun!

Matte cream with white detail

August 2013 - messing around with various nail polishes, it didn't last long and I took it off the next day!

Laziness!

After not updating this for around 4 months I feel incredibly lazy, I'll be uploading all of my missed nail art :)
