Crackle Time| Breast Cancer Awareness Week

Hai Guys!
Yes, this post is 2 days late... I apologise!
I got distracted by life, pokemon and new nail polish arriving (More on that tonight!)



What can you do?
So for my last part of 'What Can You Do' I leave you with a few more ideas to raise money!
1) Do a sponsored run/walk or take part in the 'Run for Life' races that frequently take part throughout the country! =) They're easy enough to set up your own, and you can set up a fund on JustGiving =)
2) Try a car boot sale? They're an amazing way to get rid of all of your old stuff, and to raise money at the same time! =)
3) A charity manicure-day! How about offering to paint people's nails/opening up a little manicure stand somewhere and charging them £2-5 for each manicure (or however much seems appropriate) and then donating all the funds to charity. It keeps the fun of the manicuring and the helpfulness to the cause.

While we're on the topic of raising money for Cancer Awareness/Research... My Friend, Rachael, is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. To raise the money she's gonna be shaving her head, which is a pretty big shock to us all cause she literally loves her hair.
She'll be shaving her hair on December 1st, and hopefully, with her permission, there'll be a post on this soon explaining more about what she's doing and a link to her Just Giving page. Then on December 1st, there'll also be a before and after picture, and a paragraph from Rachael herself =) Such a good cause to fight for! Go Rachael!

So today's Mani is Crackle Time!
Because, you know, crackle polish should be making a come-back already. I love crackle polishes, genuinely adore them!
And they're so easy to do as well!



Colours Used: Rimmel London Lasting Polish 'Baby Pink' (base for index/ring fingers); Barry M Gelly Papaya (base for thumb/pinkie); Nails Inc Sloane Gardens; Barry M White Crackle Effect; Barry M Red Croc Effects



What do you think? :)
This is the final pink manicure I'm doing (for a while probably... :3), but it's been a great cause! I've loved having a motive to do something for a change hehe and I'll do a couple of halloween nails hopefully this week, followed by a couple of fireworks designs for you all to try out during this slightly festive season! =)
The next post though will be a weird one probably, but I look forward to writing it and seeing your responses!

Don't forget to go and try out some of the ideas about how to fundraise money for Cancer Research and Support Charities!

And for those of you on half term right now, make sure it's a safe one, and a good one! =)

June Summary

Hey guys! So June lacked a lot of blog posts, and there's unfortunately only a mere 4 images to thread together in a summary. I popped them altogether for you anyway, and this month will be better! Top Row Left: Flamingo Stamping Right: Wiki'd Nails: Tesla Bottom Row Left: Wiki'd Nails: Bridge Right: Lion King Nail Art I think for my favourite nails I'm going to have to saaaay.... Flamingos. Simply because, flamingos! Lion King comes in a very close second mind! Which is your favourite mani for this month? :) Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bloglovin'

May Nails Round-Up!

Hey everyone! It's officially the 1st June- yay! That also means that it's the end of my exams (though good luck to anyone who is still cursed with them) and therefore the end of my first year at Uni, which is a little scary and quite a bit 'yippeeee'. It's had ups and downs but I made it to the end, which is the most important thing, right? Aaaaanyway... Since May is over this calls for a round-up of May nails I do believe! There's 9 manis to gawk at today, so I hope you like them and I look forward to seeing June's roundup already.

OPI "Comet in the Sky"*

*This post contains items which have been for review by nailpolish.co.uk. In this post these items are "OPI Comet in the Sky" and "Seche Vite Topcoat"  Hey everyone! So, as promised, I'm back with post 2.0 for OPI's Comet in the Sky polish which was kindly sent to me by nailpolish.co.uk You can check out the super messy part 1 right here! Hopefully with this post you'll be able to see the glitter in a much better light and also decide which colour you think it looks best on! Without further ado, here are some preeeeetty pictures. Highlighted on the thumb nail is two coats of Morgan Taylor's "All White Now" followed by two coats of "Comet in the Sky". Layering the glitter over the white is a great way to see all the black flecks and small hexes, but you don't really see the pearly larger-glitters as much. Personally, not my favourite, but you may love it! Over on this nail I've got two coats of Barry M...
