N.A.I.L - Let It Sparkle

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . Anyone else super excited for tomorrow to be Christmas ? I know I am . This time of year is seriously my favourite time of year, just relaxing and spending time with family.  As I mentioned, I'm a little bit behind with the N.A.I.L  ... But I was going through my nail art goodies and saw these cute snowflakes nail art stickers with some sparkle in them and knew instantly they were perfect for today's prompt . I was lucky enough to get an awesome press pack from Essence last week - and one of the first polishes I wanted to try was The Essence No Make - Up Look polish in Powdery Rose. First I need to rave about this polish on it's own. I LOVE this polish. It does dry matte ... But boy oh boy this is a perfect no fuss nail polish. I wore this for 3 days before I did the nail art and had no chips. That's MAJOURLY impressive for a polish that I didn't use top coat on.  So onto the nails -  For this look I used : Essence No ...

N.A.I.L - Wrapping All The Presents

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! Hope you had a great weekend. I know I'm a little behind on the Nail Art ideas Link up this week ... Eeeck I'm enjoying the holiday time way to much. But I promise to catch up soon. This theme was Wrapping All The Presents . I decided to dress up all my nails in purple "wrapping paper" , and use a cute little red and green striped bow to top off the look. So onto the nails - For this look I used : China Glaze Get Outta My Space (The base colour - visible as the ribbon on the presents) China Glaze Electra Magenta Essence Stripe Tape Ribbon Nail Art Stickers Who's excited as I am that Christmas is only a few days away ? What will you be wearing on your nails ?

Red and Green Christmas Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. I'm in such a holiday mood since being on leave I totally forgot to post ... Oops ! I still have some awesome posts lined up to share with you guys this year still. I'm a lot more active over on  Instagram  - so feel free to follow me there to see what I'm up too.  Last year I bought a few awesome  NailCandi  nail charms, and I totally forgot about them . When I went through my nail art box the other day I discovered them and decided they are way to pretty to not use. I decided to use the Christmas stocking for this mani.  I also ordered some NailCandi Liquid Palisade and couldn't wait to start using it. ( I used it around the white nail to do the pattern with the green glitter polish - it made clean-up SUPER easy .. just peel off and no struggling to remove the odd glitter pieces ) So onto the nails - For this mani I used : China Glaze Merry Berry ( the red polish ) China Glaze Winter Holly ( The green glitter p...

Essence Pink & Perfect

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday ! And happy 1st of December . The Christmas season is really my favourite time of year, spending some extra time with family and friends, and rewinding after a crazy year. A little while ago Essence released the most epic Merry Berry Limited Edition collection. As always with ANY Essence Limited Edition - the goodies are AMAZING ! I got myself the highlighter, hair fragrance , eyeshadow and this gorgeous polish from the range {as seen on my Instagram photo} . If there is ANYTHING in this collection that caught your eye - run and snag it up before it's all gone.  I fell in love the minute I saw a swatch of this online and knew this was a pinkish / purple I needed.  First off - How GORGEOUS is the polish bottle. It looks so elegant and classy . The polish is SUPER pigmented , I could have easily gotten away with one coat , but as always used two. The polish applied like butter , and the colour for me screams Christmas ( I'm not a huge fan of red nai...
