It has been a long while since i have posted anything sorry. I had to change laptops due to my other one having internet issues where it wasn't working. It was just a continuous problems. 

This is Revolution Zapp Tastic, this is the brightest polish I probably own. It is such an amazing one. It does dry quite matte and is quite a strange consistency. But I really liked this polish, I can see myself grabbing the other colours from this brand. This is the first time me trying Revolution and I know for a fact I will be going to get some more. This took 3 coats, but I felt it didn't level out. I can see alot of people moaning about that because it isn't great especially when it is a neon. This is the collaboration and I have forgotten to post the collab photo - it was for Gem's birthday and she loves a revolution neon.

Here we have is another currently wearing, lets see if I can post all of these very soon as I really don't want to be too far behind when it comes to these. But I may have to start blogging every single day at this rate to get my posts up in time. So expect many more posts in January.

This is Next Concrete Carly. I used 3 coats for this. This is such an unusual polish. At first when I swatched the first coat I really didn't like it. I wasn't too sure. But when I put on another two coats I really liked it. It looked so gorgeous. I wasn't sure why it was so watery on the first coat and looked awful. But as you can see, it has a like gritty look to it. But it isn't on the nail. I have filmed a swatch video to this polish if you wanted to go and see it. I was so intrigued and I am a fan of the next polishes also.

This was for a birthday collab for dogs. I think my dog is just so cute. Funnily enough I am not the biggest dog lover. But these are adorable!!

Here is another currently wearing post.

 

This birthday is for Chloe at Tippedoffnails, it was an autumn themed birthday collab. I used Primark Cobalt, this took 2 coats.  I absolutely loved this polish. This is a recreation which I did from @/nbnaiart. She is one of my biggest nail inspirations when it comes to nail art.

This nail art was a scarecrow. I am obsessed with this nail art and I couldn't wait to do this because it has been saved in my instagram saved folder for so long. I do love the Sally Hansen polish I used which is a nude. I promise I will be using this polish very soon in a mani. I really love this nail art and I think you will see this again.

Here is a birthday collab, this is one of my favourite nail arts I have done this year. Sometimes when you do collabs the nail art is that there is so much to do. I won't do as many nail art collabs as of next year because I have got so much to do with my own nail art planning.

 

Here is my Alice In Wonderland nails. I am so happy with this one. I used Sinful Colors Vibrant Vida. This is such a beautiful polish. I really loved this one, sinful colors are hard to get in the UK these days so when you see one you get them. This took 3 coats, I am very happy with this beautiful polish and the nail art is just really cute. I am a very big fan of it, it will be in my nail art favourites for 2019 I think.

Here is the collab, I think the theme was weird and wonderful. My nail art was the one that was quite tame, the nail art was quite sexy a lot of them haha.

Here is a currently wearing, I haven't done a lot of posting recently. I hope I can get my blogging mojo back because I miss it.

Here is Primark Witchcraft, I have done pacman nails here. This was part of a birthday collab for Chrissie over at Plus10kapow. The theme was geeky, I have always wanted to do pacman nails and I finally got the chance to do it. I am very happy with how these turned out. As I am typing this, I have only just realised that this was posted in April. That I actually forgot to post the collage because I had so many collages/collabs due that month. For a black I didn't find this as good as I was expecting. This took 2/3 coats.

Here is my doctor who mani, I have never watched doctor who in my life. This was for polishedrose birthday collab.

 

I have never watched this programme before, so I asked my friends who have watched it before. They came up with some great ideas, they said that the iconic bow tie as well as the blazer. I tried my hardest with that. I then also did the tardis which didn't really turn out as well as I had hoped. I used BarryM Damson, this is a polish that is always talked about as being the duped for Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. I am such a fan of this blue, it is really gorgeous.

Here is the birthday collab, look at all the gorgeous manis that everybody did.

Here is another currently wearing, this was a birthday collab. Honestly this nail community is so amazing. All of these people who have never met, who share a passion for nail polish. It really is such an incredible place to be.

Here is Rimmel The High Heel Life, this is a gorgeous purple. It looks like the dairy milk wrapper. I absolutely love it. This was quite streaky, I was disappointed by the polish. I wasn't sure if it was just me because I was filming this swatch video. But when I filmed this video, I lose all confidence and ability to paint my nails. I love flower nail art if you didn't know haha. I am so happy with how this turned out, it looks super cute.

 

Here is the purple nail art collab, look at how amazing this looks. I am so happy with how this turned out and nail art collabs are really amazing and I hope you join in on them often.

Here is a currently wearing which again is another birthday collab. This birthday was for December. But I had a whole glam nail challenge to do. So I had to get this done quite early.

Here is my birthday collab for Amy (nails.by.amyx)
I am using Sinful Colors Karma, this is from the Kylie Jenner collection. This was probably the last time we actually got Sinful Colors in the UK. I miss those times. This polish is absolutely beautiful. It is a Demi Matte polish, I am awful at descriptions so it was a good job that this polish had it on the lid. This is a polish I never expected to love so much but I am putting this in the 2018 favourites. Me and matte nail polishes don't get on, but this one is up there with the best I have ever used. I also love what I did on my nails. The prompt for this collab was pink and holographic.

 

Here is the birthday collab with lots of amazing people in this. I have to say the people in the nail community are one of my favourite sets of people. I really have made some amazing friends on there.

Here is another currently wearing, this one was a birthday collab.

 

So this is a recreation for jaffacakefreak's birthday collaboration. I used Models Own Peach Melba, this took two coats. It is a scented polish and is up there with one of the great polishes I have used this year. I have to be honest, this was probably the most difficult nail art design I have done in a very long time. It was very fiddly, but I could have easily given up. I am very proud with how this went, I did mess up a little.

 

Here is the birthday collab and I am very happy with how this looks!

Here is another currently wearing, will I get all of these posted before the end of the year. This is the biggest mission that I have this year.

Here is my purple nail art. This was for nail_art_noob_noob's birthday. We all got together and he loves purple so we decided to get a birthday collab going on. I used Avon Futuristic, isn't this absolutely gorgeous. I don't have many holographic polishes but boy is that going to change. This took 2 coats. I have an adorable cupcake and a balloon.

When you look at this nail collab you are going to think what is happening here. Basically nail art noob noob does his wife and daughters nails which is just amazing. So the people got together and did there husbands nails which was so hilarious reading through the comments of the chat.

Here is the amazing nail art collab!

Here is another currently wearing, November was the craziest month for birthday collabs. So you will be seeing lots of collabs, I swear everyone I talk to had birthdays in November.  This is annoying, it should have been before the Sally Hansen post. Ahh I had so many drafts and this was forgotten about.

 

I hosted Zoe (myrealnails) birthday collab on November. I was so nervous to do this because this was the first collab I had ever ever hosted. But you know what I actually love it. I was so proud of how well it went. I might be doing a few more collabs next year, I would love to do an awareness collab for charity. I used Seventeen Summer Sling, this is absolutely gorgeous. You can't actually get this anymore because Seventeen is no longer a brand. I have an accent bow and balloons, with some stars. I also stamped using Bundle Monster + amyytran - BM-XL219. I am so happy with how the stamping turned out of the adorable cupcakes.

 

Thank you to all the amazing girls who was involved in the collab with me. I am so grateful for all the help because it was so great to see all your beautiful manis!

I am getting my currently wearings slowly posted.

Here is another birthday coollab, I am so happy with how this turned out. I used Sally Hansen Crème De La Crème, this took 3 coats. This is a gorgeous polish, I am not usually that into off whites because I just hate the way they look on my nails. But luckily this was covered up with free hand roses. I was very pleased with how these come out. I do struggle with free hand flowers but I am just so happy with how it looks.

 

Here is the amazing birthday collab which was for @ohsoprettypolish aka Samantha. We all got together and recreated some of her amazing designs!

This is another birthday collab, I do love doing them because it shows how together the nail community is. This is for life of Agnes, I didn't actually follow her but I followed her quite quickly and recreated some nail art of hers.

 

This is Models Own Long Beach Peach. This is a gorgeous peach, I don't reach for shades like this at all. So it was a nice surprise when the nail art I recreated. I love this, I do love floral nail art and don't get to do it as much. I also used striping tape for this, I rarely use it because I am absolutely awful with it. I have no idea why, it is one of those things that I never get the hang off.

There we so many nail art that I could have recreated, I really loved the yellow one in the middle because that is so perfect.

This was a birthday collab and honestly I love doing these sort of collabs because they are so amazing.

 

This is a birthday collab from the lovely Chloe, over at tippedoffnails. She is an amazing blogger and you should see her swatches. I am using BarryM Surfboard, this is such a gorgeous polish. I love this design, I have cute little flowers on it too. It is pretty colourful, maybe I should have changed the green leaves but I think it does make it look kind of quirky.

 

As you can see there are lots of amazing people and very talented nail artists on here. So it was an honour to be involved in this birthday collab.

I was involved in another birthday collaboration. I love being invited to do them, the nail polish community is a great place to be. This was posted on the 12th March as it was Katie's birthday then. So this has been in the process for a while.

 

The theme was pink and glitter. I used Champney's Raspberry and OPI Starry Eyed For Dear Daniel. I wasn't sure if I had used the Champney's polish before, but I had no pictures of it at all. So this was good as I am slowly getting through my huge pile of untrieds. I am slightly regretting that I didn't use the OPI one in a full manicure. It is absolutely beautiful and may come back out again for a full manicure next year. But that wont be counted as an untried. I used my dotting tools for my flowers.

 

        

                

Here is the collage. Look at all that beautiful pink polishes and glitter.

Here is another birthday collab. I can't believe I have been asked o do so many. I absolutely love to do them. I also was quite confused by this when I looked on my instagram, as it wasn't posted when I painted them. Then I realised I painted it a week earlier so I could submit it. So when you look through my instagram this is posted at a different time, if you get what I mean.

 

This was @tbellew18 birthday collaboration. The prompt was to recreate something. Well that's easier said than done isn't it. She is amazing at stamping and I am still a newbie when it comes to stamping. So I had to find something that was quite simple. I found this cute design. I am obsessed with flower nail art at the moment. I used Sally Hansen Pretty Piggy. This is an absolute beautiful polish and I have loved it.

 

Here is the collage for the collaboration.

So I have another birthday collab for you. I was a little confused when I looked through my instagram and realised this was the next currently wearing because I had to wait a little bit to post this because of the date of the birthday collaboration.

 

I found this design when I was on Google, this is just so pretty. I am a huge fan of this colour. I am wearing Rimmel Go Wild-Er-Ness with BarryM Limited Edition Superdrug Pink Glitter. I am obsessed with flower nails, I love seeing so many flowers designs. I will try to do more flower nail art because that is something I really am getting the hang of. The theme of this birthday collaboration was purple nails.

Here is the amazing collaboration with all of the lovely girls who joined in. Can you see where my nails are?

This is a birthday collab, this is something that I wanted to do when it comes to my nail resolutions. I took part in a couple last year and I absolutely loved it. I love interacting with people on the nail instagram community.

 

I was inspired by nailsbyfg, the theme for the birthday collaboration was animals or animal prints. I decided I would do fox nails because this was on my saved instagram pictures folder. I absolutely love that instagram do that because I have so many recreations planned. I might do a few recreations posts.

I used Revlon Spanish Moss, this was a bargain that I picked up in poundland. This took 2 coats an it is a beautiful mossy green. I think this might be one of my favourite green polishes.

Here is the collaboration picture. It is full of lots of lovely manis and amazing ladies. Thank you again for being invited, it really is an honour.

This is a special currently wearing. I was kindly invited to a birthday collab. I have to say, I love doing birthday collabs, even though I am not that talkative on instagram to many people. But I am forever grateful when someone invites me to be involved. Just letting you all know this post was from September.

This was a collab for Chloe at @tippedoffnails, the theme for her collab was rainbows. I used Essence Happy Girls Shine Brighter. This took 1/2 coats, I am in love with this polish, just a shame that the shimmer running through it doesn't transfer on your nails.

 

Here is everyone's designs, what a talented bunch of ladies!

This is actually a special currently wearing. I was very kindly involved and asked to participate in a birthday collab. Of course I jumped at the opportunity, I knew I was going to do it straight away. It was with @Stephyclaws who I did a mani swap with two months ago. I was so honoured to be asked. The theme was animal print.

I used OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian which I got in a nailbox ages ago, so long ago nailbox doesn't even exist anymore ha-ha. I obviously chose zebra print, I am so happy I chose this design, I found it when I was searching on Google. I wasn't sure how to do the zebra nails as I didn't fancy a boring white nail, as I am really not a fan of white nails. But the OPI is an absolutely beautiful polish, it was closer to a one coater than a two. But I used two coats just on the safe side because I didn't fancy any bald spots. Not like it would have mattered anyway with the zebra print nails.
