Here is a currently wearing, this one is a nail collab so I really liked this one.

 

Here is Primark Peach, this took 2/3 coats. I really like colour. It isn't often I gravitate towards this colour, but I like it. This mani was inspired by Pintrest. I was initially hoping that this mani would look a little bit better. But I am a fan of this. This collab was for Mia Divaz collab, it is in memory of a girl who also loved nails who sadly passed away this year. I loved joining in this collab.

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 I am with another currently wearing.

 

I am wearing Holler And Glow (Primark) Pink Unicorn. I did a unicorn for this mani what a surprise. Now this is a gorgeous polish, I actually filmed a video doing this nail art which wasn't that great but I will still upload. This polish is absolutely beautiful.

This mani was in memory of a lady in the nail community that sadly passed away. I didn't know her but I thought it was really nice to join in this collab. I haven't posted the collab here, but I will hopefully remember to do that soon. The collab was called Short Nailz, I hope I can join in a few more times with these collaborations because I really love nail art collabs.

Here is another currently wearing. I am very behind with this, I am sorry. I am trying my hardest to get these posts about because I have done so little blogging this year. What with my YouTube channel, I am really struggling keeping up.

 

Here I have LA Colors Never Ending, this is such a gorgeous colour. I am a huge fan of this polish. I picked this up in a shop called Beauty Base. I took part in a claws for a cause collaboration, it was stress. I decided I would do it football related because the day this was posted it was Tottenham's potential biggest game of the season. Little did we know, that we would actually get to the champions league final. Now let me tell you, this game against Manchester City was one of the most stressful games I have ever watched. We ended up losing 4-3 but went through on away goals. Crazy, how appropriate these nails were.

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.

A Purple Collab

So here am I with a different post, this isn't a currently wearing. It is actually a huge purple themed collab. Basically if you are not from the UK you may not know about this story. Jodie Chesney was a young who was stabbed to death in the UK.

Knife crime is a real problem in England. It seems to have got worse, so this is why everybody sent in their purple swatches in memory of this girl. I thought it was a really good idea.

 

 

 

As you can see there am some amazing purple swatches and I hope you enjoyed this short post. I will get back to blogging, I hope I can start tomorrow.

Once again we have another nail art collab, this is an awareness collab. I am rolling these out this year. I might do a huge post of how many of these I have done.

This is a awareness collaboration for Cerebral Palsy, this is part of the claws of the clause nail art awareness page. I used W7 Neon Green. This isn't neon at all. This was quite a watery polish which I did expect when I used this at first. W7 is probably a brand that is readily available but sometimes people dismiss them. This was three coats and I liked it. I am also happy with how the butterfly is because I have found them quite hard when I have done them on my nails in the past.

 

Here is the amazing Cerebral Palsy awareness collab.

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 we have another nail art collab, we are on a roll with these this year.

 

I recreated one of Maggie_jmr nail art. This was colour with in women, coffee and cake for Maggie. This was a really cool idea, I hadn't ever heard of this before. I used Jessica Cheeky, this is a really pretty light pink. I really liked this one and it took 3 coats. This is from January 2019 Mani and Lola box. I absolutely love the sunflowers, that is probably one of the only flowers I hadn't done. I make it my wish to do them all, so if there isn't any flowers that I haven't done then please let me know.

 

Here is the collab, look how amazing it is. She is honestly such a talent.

Here is another currently wearing, here is once again another collab. I am on a roll in these nail art collabs in 2019.


Here is Avon Island Goddess, this is a semi matte green. If you know me I am not sure if I like mattes. I am not fully sold on them just yet. But saying that, this polish s a really pretty green. I do love green polishes and my nail art was cute too.

 

This collaboration was for the Claws for a cause, I suggest you all go and follow that Instagram because it is amazing. Every month there will be a brand new theme, I am really a fan of it. This month was Heart Awareness. This was something I am quite close to, I decided I would do this because my Bapoose (Greek for Grandad) at the time of doing this was recently recovering from a pacemaker being put in. He has had quite a fair few cardic/heart attacks. I thought I would do this to honour him. He is an amazing man. I used green because he has an allotment, well he calls it an alockment. No matter how many times we tell him that its wrong, he still calls it that.

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 collab I was involved in, this is an awareness collab. I really love joining in these.

 

Here is my solo shot from the awareness collab. This collab was for Tia (@jaffacakefreak) this was all getting awareness for getting stem cell/bone marrow donors. This was in the hope for people to register on the donor list. I used Technic Seashell. This is a gorgeous polish, I thought it was so beautiful. Seeing as when I did this, it was near Halloween. We had all done the blood theme, I thought the dripping of blood was quite gruesome, but I really like it. I also did blood splattering on the nail, also I have got a ribbon too. Then some bones which represented the bone marrow.

 

Here is all the beautiful nails that everyone who was involved in the nail art collab.

Here is another currently wearing, this was one which where I was involved in a nail art collab.

Here is my nail art collab, this is from a water collab. The lovely Tia over at the jaffacakefreak. She was starting a new job at a water place. I can't remember fully what it was called, but it was in Wales. This was an amazing collaboration for Tia to invite us all to do. I am using Primark Turquoise Dream. I did a cute sandcastle, a crab and a starfish. This is adorable and the blue really worked well with this nail art.

 

This is the blue base in all its glory. This took 2 coats and it is so gorgeous. I haven't actually posted this on instagram yet so you will see it again if you follow me over on my instagram.

 

Here is what the nail art collab was for, I am at the bottom with lots of talented ladies.

This is a very special currently wearing. Keep reading to see why.

 

I was absolutely honoured to be invited to participate in the Cancer Awareness Collab by the amazing Chloe over at TippedOffNails. Click the link to find out more about her story and see her amazing swatches. Chloe is 6 months clear of cancer and was running race for life when this was posted. It is amazing to be a part of such an amazing community. The only prompt was to use the ribbon and paint your nails any colour you wanted. I used Miss Beauty Mermaid, which I got from Home Buys for £1.99 or £1. It is absolutely stunning, this polish will be up there for sure as a favourite at the end of the year.

                   

Here is the amazing collage, its incredible how a community can come together for something like this. The nail art community is so good on instagram, I know instagram has changed what with the algorithms and stuff which isn't great. But I have spoken to a lot of amazing people on there and hopefully it can only grow and get bigger.

This currently wearing is a special one. I was asked to be a part of a Brain Tumour Awareness nail collab. All you needed to do was have a grey nail polish and have the ribbon on your nails somewhere. That is what I did, scroll down to see the full collage. There was a lot of amazing people involved in this collab. I can't wait to do more, I am very excited to see what happens this year.

 

 

I used Models Own Lunar Grey which I have been planning to wear for ages and just haven't got round to wearing it. I absolutely loved this nail polish, it is incredible. I wasn't sure at first whether it would suit my skin tone but I instantly fell in love with this beauty. I just used a white nail polish for the rest of the design, I have a small ribbon and some flowers. I also wrote love too, I am surprised how well that came out as I am usually rubbish at writing words. But I think you need love especially when you are going through something so horrible as cancer.
