Nail Parade!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely week off from myself and the blog. Things are kicking off again straight away with a post which is pretty important (and includes a fun nail art tutorial), so make sure you pay attention! As you may have guessed from the title, this post is about everyone's favourite dinosaur-looking animal, the Rhino... Now I've been lucky enough to see Rhinos close-up in a pretty wild environment (in Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa), but not everyone will be so lucky. Poachers are often after these beautiful animals for their horns- horrible, right!? What many people don't realise is that these Rhino's horns are made from keratin - the same protein as found in your own finger nails. And yet (I hope) you don't have poachers running after you to tear those off, so why should we let such things happen to the Rhinos, which are already critically endangered , by the way. I've teamed up with Save the Rhino  and their #N...

Hey everyone! Today's "Wiki'd Nails" prompt is Bridge . Soooo I chose my favourite/most sentimental bridge- Golden Gate Bridge . It's often pretty foggy around the area, so I wanted to try and incorporate that onto my nail design. (Image from forwallpaper.com) And so, this is my attempt at a foggy Golden Gate Bridge nail design.

Hey everyone! Over the weekend I tried a nail art tutorial by CutePolish , which I'll pop into the end of this post for you all to look at too! Here was my end result, which I'm pretty impressed with, to be honest!

Hey everyone! It's Week 2 of the wiki challenge now, with the prompt for this being " The Water-Babies, a Fairytale for a Land Baby ". Basically from what I've read over on wiki, it's a book where someone gets turned into a 'water baby' and taught what is 'good' again by a few fairies and leaders and what not... Yay? All of the art for the book is in a pretty cool sketchy-painted kinda style so I wanted to try and capture that a bit, but I wanted to incorporate some stuff about the fairies, and of course the water, into my nails too, so this is what I came up with. (Major apology for the pic quality again, my camera and I will be reunited next week! And don't forget if you click a pic, you can make it bigger)

Hey everyone! Sorry for the week of silence, things have been busy with revision for yet another set of exams. When will they be over?! Anyway, today brings the final Game of Thrones post to y'all. Which means that post-exams there'll be a new Fandom attacking the blog... dun dun duuun! To bring the GoT posts to a close, I bring you...

Hey everyone! Today's Game of Thrones post brings a mani inspired by a rather controversial House. You can actually love them and hate them at the same time! Introducing... House Lannister! Their sigil thing has a mighty lion and their motto is "Hear Me Roar", and the main characters here are Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion. (Tyrion obviously being the best one). Anyway! Their banner is of yellow and red, so those are the colours used, and I did some lion-y patterns on my nails to try and represent them a little.

Haiiiii everyone! So it's technically Thursday right now but I'm gonna skim over that and point out that it's a "The Fandoms Strike Back!" Game of Thrones day today! Today's post is focussing on my second favourite House of the series... House Targaryen! (Cue sassy dragons... or sassy dragon nails?)

Hey everyone! The Fandoms are continuing to 'Strike Back' today, and House Stark is leading the battle in Game of Thrones! Image credit to HBO I think the Starks are my favourite house in the GoT universe, so it seemed like a good place to start for the second half of the Game of Thrones manis- the Houses!

Hey everyone! This post was meant to go up on Friday but I kinda forgot to write it (oops) so it's here for y'all today! Anyway, after wearing a couple of mani's featuring blues and darker colours, I did something a bit out of the ordinary for me... I went to my nail drawer, and picked out... Pinks. (On purpose!) I guess my subconscious fancied some brighter summery colours for a change- who knew I had it in me, right!?

Hey everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend and didn't hate going back to work too much! Today marks the return of the Game of Thrones posts, with none other than the creepy monsters which keep popping up every now and again... The White Walkers. (gameofthrones.wikia.com) Creepy, right?

The Fandoms Strike Back- Game of Thrones Hey everyone! Welcome to week number two of 'The Fandoms Strike Back'! Today sees Game of Thrones mani number two, and of course it just had to be... The Iron Throne The story just wouldn't be the same without it, would it? It'd be "Game of ...." So I decided to attempt to recreate the throne on my nails, and here is how it turned out: 

Hey everyone! So today is a very exciting post. That is... it's the start of a new post series! Behold, for on Wednesdays... The Fandoms Strike Back In other words, I'm one of those people who likes to obsess over some TV shows, movies and books, and totally wish they were all real so I could live in them... I mean, sometimes the real world just seems so dull .  To begin with, I thought I'd kick it off with a bang... Game of Thrones!

*This post contains items which were supplied to me by justmylook.co.uk in return for some Valentine's Day nail art. These items are the three Morgan Taylor polishes which were used. Hello dears! Around this time last week I received an email from Just My Look asking if I was up for doing their Valentine's Day nail art challenge. Of course, I agreed, and they sent along three lovely Morgan Taylor polishes from their stock!

*This post contains an item which was supplied by Born Pretty Store in return for an honest review. In this post, this item is the "Neon Zebra Print Sticker" Hello everyone! It's finally my Christmas break- which means no more online assessments or deadlines, and therefore more time to blog. I'm going to go back to the usual 3 posts a week- Monday, Wednesday and Friday!  Anyway, today I have another review item from the amazing Born Pretty Store to show you! I was sent a strip of one long neon zebra print sticker. 

Hey everyone, hope you had a lovely week! Today's post was technically supposed to be up yesterday, but I was too tired on Thursday night and my Friday's are busy busy (plus, I got ill around lunchtime, so I ended up spending half the day in bed...) Anyway, the post is here now so none of that matters :) Today I'm going to share with you a stunning red polish and a teensy bit of nail art too. So first of all, the polish... Meet Models Own's Diamond Luxe "Heart Red" and my freshly shaped stiletto/claw nails!

Hi guys! Today I'm bringing you the second (and last) of the guest posts for you. This one is by Chloe from Tipped Off Nails ! Here she is... ------------------------------------ Hello :) My first guest post! Yippee. Let's get to it. I wanted to do the 31 day challenge that chalkboard nails (Instagram) does every year. I started it on the 1st and only got to day 3 before I realised I just couldn't do it. But I want to show you the 3 I DID do. They were a challenge for me because they were red, orange and yellow - the three colours I have 1 or 2 of each... Anyway, I decided to do fruit themed and I was going to continue this for all of the colour category but... Yeah I failed. :( First up are my Red Nails: I decided to go for strawberries and cream because although summer is officially over now, I'm not going to forget them! I used all Barry M Gelly polishes for this (as usual) in Rose Hip, Pomegranate, Coconut and Key Lime. The white is Matt white, also B...

Hey everyone! Today I'm bringing you the most recent prompt from Life in Lacquer's Challenge- dots! I used a design that I found here at 'Did My Nails'   I went with lots of blue, green and silver polishes because they're awesome! Such pretty colours! So, without anymore talky stuff, here's a long line of pics!

Today's prompt from Life in Lacquer is "Tv/Film Inspired!" After bouncing a few ideas off Sarah, I settled on a Marvel theme... Which turned into a Thor-theme.... Which turned into Loki. Ah, Loki, I love you.

Hey everybody! I hope you enjoyed yesterday's post! Today I'm bringing you a cute little spotty Summer mani using a few of my new Nails Inc polishes. (You can see all of them here in this post )

Today's "Wail" brings another guest post to your eyes while I run off to do some maths in preparation for tomorrow's exam! It's a wonderful idea and creation brought to you by Vicky, but I'll let her introduce herself right here... ---------------------------------------------------
