Opi Tiffany Case plus Picture Polish Atomic

Hey my angels, I am back...yep I have been a little lazy with my manicures this week....for some reason my get up and go seems to have get up and gone...but I am going to jump back on board by showing you this beauty before going off and doing some Lady and the tramp nail art.

So I have Tiffany Case, the blue counterpart of the epic Bond Girls liquid sands.  I am beyond excited about these polishes, FINALLY I have been able to lay my grubby mitts on 3 of these babies....all of the collection will be shown on here VERY soon!


Tiffany Case is a beautiful aqua blue with beautiful silver glitters.  It applies smoothly but dries down to a matte sand effect finish.  It is super opaque, 2 coats and you are done.

I decided to mix it up and use Atomic by Picture Polish to create some cool lines.  I love these two together.  Stay tuned for a full review of the bond girls collection, they are ahhhmazing!

Disney Tarzan Nails

Hey guys, hope you are all doing well today.  So we are onto day 10 (I think) and today's offering is Disney's Tarzan.

Now I must admit I have never seen this movie...I don't know if I really have a strong desire to either as when I was looking for images of this film, they all look a little blah.....maybe I am wrong....if you happen to have seen it and loved it, please let me know...you never know i may just watch it on your say so!

So i decided to do the Tarzan and Jane...amongst trees.  To be honest i sat with all my paints and brushes by my side and i really didn't know which way this mani was going, i didn't know which of the characters i was going to do...

So there we have it, a Disney Tarzan manicure.  I hope you guys like it, be sure to check out the other ladies taking part xxxxx

A stunner of a polish! Picture Polish Shocked

Wowza, I have such a pretty polish to show you guys today in the form of Picture Polish, Shocked.  Picture Polish in my eyes can actually do no wrong, every single polish I own from them are absolute perfection, and this baby is no exception.




Shocked is a collaboration shade between PP and Shatter Me Claire .  Claire came up with this most gorgeous hot pink shade with pretty sparkly holo particles, and called it shocked because she wa sshocked to be selected for the collaboration and also she wanted to pay homage to something iconally Australian....Kylie would be that inspiration.

I used 3 coats for these shots, I am thinking it could maybe benefit from an undie as this is on the sheer side.  This applied absolutely faultless, smooth and delicious.   Picture Polish can do no wrong in my book and is fast becoming one of my favourite polish brands!

Femme Fatale Fatal Attraction

Hello my beauties.  Wow I am happy today, the sun is shining here in the UK for once and I have just come back from an awesome morning with my mum and sister...bliss!  To top off a lovely day so far I am thrilled to be sharing this beauty with you guys!!



Femme Fatale Fatal Attraction is indeed fatal.....I almost crashed my car a few times because I was distracted by my pretty pretty nailage! hehe.

FA is not an easy polish for one to come across in our crazy land of polish, it is a quick seller, which is why my sister and I set our alarms so we could snap this baby up...along with Mana Ruby. (find the pics here )

I was toooooo excited when I got my confirmation I had indeed bought this stunner and when it arrived, I actually squealed with excitement.  It is just beautiful! It is  deep velvety magenta in colour with amazingly pretty and noticeable scattered holo.  For goodness sake, when I was out in the sunlight this was bought totally to life, it is truly breathtaking!

This applied beautifully, it slipped on my nails like butter, seriously lovely.  It dried totally smooth and gorgeous and when I applied seche vite it just made it look like glass.  I used 3 thin coats for these shots.

For those who are yet to own a Femme Fatale polish...act NOW, hunt them down because tey will indeed be an addition you will treasure!

The manicure that made me want to throw away my paint! Disney Tangled Rapunzel

Hello my lovelies.  I am back with you tonight...with a challenge that is late.  The reason it is late is because it was a pain in the ass to complete.  Ahhhhh the elusive tangled nail art ALMOST beat me! I felt to chuck my brushes and paints in the bin, boycott any Tangled movie or talk and run for the hills!




Seriously this is the most hardest part of this challenge so far, resulting in me removing my manicure THREE TIMES before I settled on this one.  I watched tutorials on how to draw this character, I tried actually drawing Rapunzel on paper first, I tried damn everything to get her right.

So my conclusion here is....whilst I LOVE Tangled the movie...I HATED doing this art....it wasn't enjoyable like it always is, it was a bloody chore and rest assured I will not be rushing to paint this again!

I hope you guys like this mani, trust me when I say it was hard hard hard to do and whilst I am still not super proud of how this turned out I am proud of my commitment to try and try.....and try again lol!
