Nail Parade!

Hello dears! Hope everyone had a fab week and is ready for the weekend! Even if you aren't ready for it, it's here anyway ;) Please note that this post is very  image-heavy, so anyone with a weak or slow internet collection has my greatest apologies! (Ironically, this includes myself) So earlier this week I got my first ever Indie Polish delivery, from none other than Freckles Polish !

How to...  Look after your nails! Here's how I take care of mine, usually on average twice a week, though it depends on your nail-type as to how often you should do this. For weak or ridged nails: Try and do this around three to four times a week until your nails begin to re-strengthen. For "normal" nails: Do this around two times a week, it'll keep them up to shape! For strong nails: Even though your nails are strong, you should still keep them in good shape, so do this one to two times a week.

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all had a lovely Easter and long weekend! Today, I'm going to be covering my own little version of a tutorial I found the other day, on Distressed Nail Art.

Hello hello hello! Nice to see you here, guess you wanna know about Pin Marbling, huh? :P As a simple opening description, I'm gonna say that a pin marble is pretty much a water marble... without all the mess all the way up your fingers! :) (Don't know what water marble is? Check *this post* )  And, as always, have a few pictures before I talk you through a couple of super easy steps!

Hello everybody ^^ So, the post that you've all been promised and, I like to think, waiting for! Here is what a water marble looks like- pretty, right? :D

Hello! Serious topic this week, over the next 5 days, I'll be posting 5 different designs each containing a pink feature to try and raise awareness for Breast Cancer. In each post I'll include a tutorial, and a 'how you can raise awareness'. How You Can Raise Awareness Today's is so simple, all you have to do is wear a pink ribbon! Wearing the pink ribbon shows that you're supporting Breast Cancer Care, and it doesn't matter how you wear it! Monday's Design: Cute Hearts! Today's design is super easy to do, and looks so cute! Plus it's actually the first design I've thought of 100% on my own :D All you need to complete this design is 3 nail polishes! Ta-Daa!

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
