33 Day Challenge - Pattern in your Wardobe

Image
I have a love/hate affair with shoes.  I see lots of lovely shoes in the shops but as I have such little feet it is difficult to get anything that fits properly.  As for heels, anything over 2 1/2 inches is out of the question.  When I find something that fits and looks good I tend to go overboard.  I have these shoes by Ruby Shoo in grey and black too. More details after the jump.

Happyness Festival Nail Art Tribute

Image
I'm a big fan of stand up comedy so when the Happyness Inverness Comedy Festival started up last year I was there every night.  More information on the festival can be found on their website  http://happy-ness.co.uk/  or the facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/HappynessInvernessComedyFestival?fref=ts This year I have created some nail art to wear to the festival incorporating the festival logo.

Funky Friday Nails - Water Marble

Image
I thought I would have a quick go at a water marble. Not quite as successful as I'd hoped but I was in a bit of rush.   I will be doing another look with these colours over the weekend for a special event I'm attending.  I'll post more about that tomorrow. The colours used for this water marble were NYC Faithful Fuchsia, Barry M Spring Green and Collection Go Retro!

Funky Friday Nails - Doctor Who

Image
First I would like to say welcome and thank you to all the new followers to my blog. This blog is to help showcase the designs I create and challenge me to come up with lots more interesting looks. I appreciate and am grateful for everyone that takes the time to support me by following the blog and/or leaving comments. As Saturday sees the finale of the latest series of Doctor Who the nerd in me has been inspired. So this week’s Funky Friday nails have a Doctor Who theme. More pictures and details after the jump.

Ask A British Nail Blogger -Oldest Polish?

Image
I am a member of the British Nail Bloggers group on Facebook.  It's a great place to get advice, share ideas and take part in challenges.  With a view to sharing information the group regularly sets an 'Ask a British Nail Blogger' question. This time round the question is what is your oldest polish?  As much as I love painting my nails and playing with colour, until fairly recently my nail polish collection was practically non existent and compared to many I still have quite a modest collection. The oldest polish in the collection is only around 3 years old and it is a bottle of Collection 2000 (now just Collection) Bongo Beat a lovely dark metallic teal colour.  Unfortunately that polish has gone AWOL in my bedroom and I can't find it, so I don't have a picture but you can see it on the Collection website  http://www.collectioncosmetics.co.uk/nails/nail-polish/hot-looks-nail-polish.aspx More details after the jump.

Monkey See Monkey Do Monday - Cherry Blossom Nails

Image
After seeing cherry blossom nails all over the place I really wanted to have a go myself but wasn't sure where to start.  I found this Cute Polish tutorial on You Tube ( http://youtu.be/nuc0iNXLZmM ) really helpful but I did change the colours a little bit when I did it myself.
