Here is another currently wearing.

Here is my zoo themed mani. This was for when I went to Chester Zoo in the summer. This is absolutely amazing (yes if I do pick myself up haha!). I am wearing Kiko 371 Rosy Gold Brown. This took 2 coats, this is a beautiful brown with rosy gold flecks running through it. I recreated a few manis which I saw on pintrest and on instagram from years ago. I love them. I do have macro shits which I am rather pleased with how well they turned out.

                                                            

So here are the macro shots for my zoo mani. I have got monkey, red fox and giraffe. I absolutely love how these went. The giraffe is one of my favourite nail arts I have done. I am just so happy with how this went.

Here is a currently wearing for you.

 

Here is Kiko 297 Acid Green. This is a gorgeous colour. This was actually for a collab, the theme was bright and summery. I wasn't sure what I should do because nothing was really jumping out at me. So of course I did a simple dotticure. I absolutely love doing these, I always do these when I don't have many ideas. This had so many likes on instagram, seems as if it was more than my normal 60.

 

Here is the collab that everyone joined in for the lovely Toxic Nailz!

Here is another currently wearing.

Here is another Glam Nails Challenge which is icicles. I used Kiko 336 Electric Blue. This is absolutely gorgeous, I love this blue. It is quite a gelly consistency. But this is so pretty. I really enjoyed wearing this. So I got a white and put it down as some icicles, I wasn't sure if this even looked like them. But I managed to get them pretty well. I put some glitter over the top because I feel that icicles are always quite shiny. I am very happy with how this turned out.

Here is one of my Christmas nail arts, this is what I wore on Christmas day. Yes it has been over a month since it was Christmas, but I am so close to completing these posts.

Here is Kiko 512 Metallic Rosy Taupe. This is so pretty, I love this polish. It has such a pretty pink flash running through it. Sometimes these polishes don't show the flashes, especially on the nail. But this is so pretty. I am also very happy with how my Christmas tree went, there is some really cute baubles on the tree. I am not sure if the star looks great, it doesn't even look like a star. But one day I will practice on stars.

Here is another birthday collab, this month was crazy for them. You might get bored of seeing me write that but I am not bothered. So lets get going because this is a great post.

 

So this wasn't a birthday collab, it was a collab for Nails by Kt (Katie), she was moving to Finland and then she was heading to working in a ski resort for skiing. I am wearing Kiko Light Navy Blue and Ciate Locket as the accent nail. I also used MoYou Festive 03 plate. This is so gorgeous, I also attempted a skier on the runway. That didn't go as well as I wanted but practice makes perfect doesn't it. I am very impressed with how well this looked. The ciate polish is absolutely beautiful! I will be making sure I use that again.

Here is the blue/Finland themed collab!

So here is another Halloween nail look, lets have a look at this one. I have to say Halloween and Christmas nail art is one of my favourite things to do.

So here is my Jack Skellington nails. I asked over on instagram for some suggestions of Halloween nails. My best friend said Jack Skellington. I used Kiko 534 Green Forest, it is such a gorgeous polish. I struggled a little with Jack Skellington's face but I did it. I am so happy with how this looked. The green from Kiko is absolutely gorgeous. This polish took just two coats and it is so pretty. I do love a kiko polish. Sally's blanket looks amazing also, if I do say so myself.

So I am going to do a whole month of currently wearings because I really want to get ahead before 2018 is over. So you might see a lot of belated haul posts.

 

Here is my currently wearing this is Kiko 504 Pearly Glaze Pink, this took 2 coats. It is absolutely perfect for the summer when I wore it. This is so gorgeous when I wore it on the beach which you can see it in my next picture. For some reason you can really see my nails behind the polish. I have lots of white nail which is so annoying.

 

Here are my nails at the beach!

This is the first nimy nail challenge. If you don't know nimynails is an instragrammer as well as a nail polish uk indie brand. I decided I would put the tag as 'nimy nail challenge' because there isn't a proper name for it. So lets get going.

 

I have got Kiko 360 Strawberry Pink, this is a gorgeous summery pink. I  have so many pink polishes yet I barely get round to wearing them. I promise I will get round to wearing more pinks. This took 2 coats, this was quite a gelly formula which I wasn't sure about. But I did really like this. I was inspired by 25sweetpeas, her instagram is absolutely amazing. There was only a few days difference of when she posted it ad I was inspired by it. It is the cutest nail art I have done this year. I did a cute flower crown on the rabbit which I have never seen before. I have the cutest flower accent nail. I am very impressed with how this looks.

This is a mani swap with the lovely @myrealnails over on instagram. I know she also has a blog so if you would love to go and check that out.

 

 

I asked over on instagram, with a  poll wondering if anybody wanted to do a mani swap. Zoe kindly said she would do one with me even though she wasn't that big of a nail art kind of person. But I said that was fine. I absolutely loved this one. I used Kiko 501 Pink Iguana, this is an absolutely beautiful nail polish. This took 1/2 coats, it is really gorgeous.

 

                      

Here is the mani swap, I am so happy with how it turned out. It is funny that we both decided to do animal nail art. I hope to do more nail art in the future.

So this was the first time I had done my nails in 2018. I always make sure that I do my nails on the 1st January. I am not entirely sure why but I always feel I get more polishes worn in January which is strange. Anyway lets see what I wore.

I wore Kiko 515 Metallic Plain Chocolate, this took 2 coats. Do you remember when I bought all those kiko polishes, well I am slowly getting y way through them. I do have a post planned on that coming soon. This is stunning brown that has a pink shift running through it, you can just see it in the bottle. I do have a swatch photo of this on its own for you to see. I used Models Own Blizzard, this isn't necessarily an untried but I have actually marked it down as an untried in the untried year.

Here is the base of Kiko Metallic Plain Chocolate which was actually 2 coats. It does have a pink shimmer running through it which is stunning. It is hard to get to see it, but I liked it in the bottle.

Another currently wearing here for you today, I am slowly getting through these.

 

I love love love this polish! I can't tell you how amazing this polish is. It's such a beautiful green, as you know green is my favourite polish colour ever. I am wearing Kiko 532 Pearly Amazon Green, this took 1/2 coats. This is so pretty but of course as having so much glitter in a polish it goes all over your fingers and sometimes your cuticles. There might be a lot of kiko polishes being shown soon because I bought so many didn't I.

I am not sure why this picture looks so blurry. The prompt was beach.

 

I had changed this nail look, I was going to do all of my nails to have beaches on. But I thought that would be quite tricky, so I just decided to do an accent nail. It is funny when I did these nails, it did not stop raining because that is what happens in the UK. That's summer for you. I used KIKO 482 Tangerine. This took 2 coats, this isn't a colour I would usually go for. But I am glad I picked it up.

I am a little behind with my currently wearing, I cant even work out why. As I post these I have done a lot of blue polishes. So I think when I paint my nails next I am use a different colour that isn't in the blue category.

This was March's edition of #hayleyscartoonnails. I decided I would do Toy Story Alien nails. I absolutely love toy story and its actually one of my favourite films. If you wish to leave me some suggestions of what Disney themed nails you'd like to see me do, then comment away. I used KIKO 707 Blue Mermaid, this is a stunning polish and it was two coats. I am blown away by KIKO polishes and this is lovely. I was inspired by the very talented and crazy about Disney also is @nailartbyjen over on instagram.

This may have been done some time ago, but oh man am I impressed with myself ha-ha.

This was a recreation from the very talented Stephyclaws over on instagram. Its strawberry nails, I have always wanted to do strawberry nails. I have a very long list of nail art that I want to do and this was surely one of them. I used KIKO Apple Blossom, which is a stunning pink colour. I haven't got many pinks like this but this is so pretty. Then for the glitter accent nail I used Collection Touch Of Glamour, this is an opaque glitter that took 2/3 coats. Then my cute little strawberries, they may have gone a little dodgy, but I am pretty proud of how it went. Then I went for a simple dotticure, which I haven't ever done before. So look out for a simple dotticure soon. Overall I am super impressed with myself with this nail art, I will be doing more fruit nails as I really like fruit nails. I am very happy with myself.

This may be my favourite nail art that I have done in a long while. I hope you are all having a great week in this lovely sun, if you have sunshine that is.

I chose daisy nails. I was in some need of nail art inspiration. At the start of the year I set myself a goal where I would try to do more nail art and that is what I am doing. So I decided I would do daisy nails. I used KIKO 296 Meadow Green. This needed three coats, it was very watery in the first coat and I didn't have much hope for it that's for sure. But three coats made it look a log better that's for sure. I was inspired by a picture I found on Google, I sadly cant give any credit to this person who originally did this design because it didn't contain a watermark. I used LA Colors - French White as my go to white nail polish and NYC - Yellow Taxi for the yellow blob ha-ha. I love this look and eve though I may not be the best at nail art, I am a little shaky when it comes to doing the white lines. But I love this look.
