February's Meebox Review - Gatsby Theme*

I was lucky enough to be sent February's Meebox for review and was really excited to get stuck into it to try all of the goodies. This month the theme was Gatsby and I don't think the Meebox team could have picked more appropriate items, they are perfect!

Danglefoot Polish Rumple & Belle Duo

Danglefoot Nail polish is one of my favourite indie polish brands, so I was really excited when Hayley re-opened her shop this month! Not only was she back with loads of new pretties but she was also back with another Once Upon A Time Duo, so of course I had to have it!

Maggie Anne Nail Polish Review*

I was recently sent two polishes to review from a new to me brand, Maggie Anne. I love trying new brands so couldn't wait to use them and I wasn't disappointed at all.

Models Own Holochrome Swirl Nail Art - Collaboration with Hellznails

Me and the lovely Helen over at Hellznails were lucky enough to win the Models Own Holochrome giveaway over on Instagram last week so we thought doing a blog collaboration and some twin nails would be the best way to celebrate!

Guest Post: Helen from Hellznails

Hi everyone! I'm Helen from Hellznails and I'm guest posting today for my lovely friend Sam whilst she is on her honeymoon. Sam is a really good friend of mine and as a huge fan of her blog and nails I'm honoured she asked me to do this.

For my post I've decided to recreate a mani Sam did a while ago for one of our Danglefoot collaboration posts (you can see Sams post here and mine here) as I really loved it when she posted it and this guest post is a perfect excuse for me to recreate it.

Guest Post: Vicky from The Polish List

Hi everyone, my name is Vicky and I have a blog called The Polish List. Recently Sam advertised for guest post volunteers and seeing as I have long been a fan of hers, I jumped at the chance to write for her amazing blog. I love Sam's nail art and swatches, her metallic stamped manis are always so beautiful and I love seeing her new designs.

Although I am not great at stamping, I wanted to create some nail art based loosely (extremely loosely) on a red and gold nail design that Sam did in this post here. 

Guest Post: Abigail from Polished Dreams

Hello hello to the lovely readers of Sam's blog! I'm Abigail and you may or may not know me from my own blog Polished Dreams or Instagram. I'm very excited to be doing a guest post while Sam is away so I'll get stuck right in to the nails!

June's Nailbox Review - Festival Fever*

I was thrilled when Nailbox UK got in touch and asked me to review one of their boxes as I've been wanting to try this service for some time. I was sent the box from June and it is excellent!

Danglefoot Polish Snow & Charming Duo

I have a review and swatches of the newest Once Upon A Time duo from Danglefoot polish to share with you today. This time the duo is inspired by Snow and Charming and the colours are so perfect. I was also lucky enough to be sent a bottle of Hayley's new top coat to try out.

Danglefoot Polish Hook & Swan Duo - Collaboration with Hellznails

As soon as I saw that Hayley at Danglefoot Polish was releasing a Once Upon a Time nail polish duo, I knew that I had to have it! No only is the concept amazing but the colours are beautiful too. +Helen Clark over at Hellznails bought the duo too and very kindly asked me if I wanted to do a collaboration post with her, and I jumped at the chance. Read on to see what I thought of the polishes and the nail art I created using them.

Nail Collaboration: Part 3 - Inspired by Fashion

Me and +Helen Clark of Hellz Nails are on week 3 of our blog collaboration and this week we decided to do nail art inspired by an outfit...or 3 in this case! We have both worked off the same picture but we have no idea what the other is doing, so this is a really fun prompt! Here is the mani I created using one of the outfits for inspiration.

Nail Collaboration: Part 2 - Recreation

It is week 2 of mine and +Helen Clark's blog collaboration, and this week we are doing a recreation mani. We had to pick one of each other's mani's from Instagram to recreate and I was really spoiled for choice! I managed to narrow it down, so here is the mani I recreated and I hope I've done it justice.

Nail Collaboration: Part 1 - My Favourite Stamping Plate

Me and the lovely, talented Helen over at +hellz nails decided that we would do a little collaboration in February as we both want to put more effort into our blogs this year. We have picked 4 prompts to do this month, posting 1 a week, and the first week is favourite stamping plate. Here is the mani I created using my favourite plate, and there's also a tutorial to go with it. Enjoy!

April's Stamping Challenge

At the end of last year, I created a Facebook group for everyone in the UK who loves stamping as much as I do. It is a group for people to share manis, ideas and tips, and each week we run a weekly theme for everyone on the group. However; we decided it would make a nice change to have a monthly theme for April instead of the usual weekly themes, so that's how #ukstampersapril was born. The admins decided on 9 prompts between us spread out over the month, and here is how I tackled each prompt with a quick run down of what I used for each mani.

Geometric Stamping

I thought I would share a quick post with you today on some geometric stamping I did for the weekly theme on the Facebook group, UK Stamping Community. UK Stamping Community was created by me so that all polish and nail art addicts in the UK would have a place where they could share not only their stamping manis, but also tips and advice. If you are based in the UK and love stamping, or would love to get into it, then please do join. *Shameless plug there*. 

Anyway, onto the manicure...
