Glitter French Triangles

And just like that, Christmas is over. I hope you all had a lovely one. I'm counting down the days to the next festive period already, it's definitely the best time of the year. I'm lucky in a way that my birthday is only 3 weeks after Christmas so the fun isn't quite over yet, although it does mean that once my birthday is over I have to wait a whole year for any more celebrations! 

One of my Christmas presents this year was a wonderful new lightbox handmade by my dad. He built my last one but unfortunately it only worked with my old camera, so it was time for an update, and he pulled all the stops out this time. Of course I couldn't resist taking some photos in it, and here are the results!  I've seen this design around a few times on Instagram, but these in particular were inspired by Hey Nice Nails and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. 

A Very Patterned Christmas

Hey everyone! Can you believe it's Christmas Eve already? I love the build up to Christmas so much, I'll be sad when I can no longer play Christmas songs and have lovely decorations up around the house. I'll also miss Christmas nails. As I said in my last post, I've had so much inspiration this year but not enough time to do anything with it. Hopefully I can carry that inspiration to next year. 

These nails were inspired by this Christmas pattern I found on Pinterest, I loved it so much and I knew it would work well on nails. I tried it initially on false nails with a cream background, and I must admit I think I prefer that to this more blue-toned off-white but I do still like them nevertheless. 

Rose Gold Snowflakes

It's been a busy ol' week this week, which concluded with me smashing my car into a bollard.. so not the best. But as with all bad weeks, I've turned to blogging to take my mind off it. I have to keep telling myself it's Christmas soon to distract myself, and what better to remind myself than with Christmas nails! I have so much inspiration this year but just not enough time to do everything I want to do. I'm hoping to be able to do a couple more designs this weekend before it's too late. I did however manage to squeeze in these nails a couple of weekends ago. 

I was recently sent a wonderful Christmas package from Sally Hansen, and I knew as soon as I saw these polishes inside that I had to do some nail art with them, they just looked like they would work so well together... and they do! 

Meebox Nov '17 - Through The Looking Glass, Review + Nail Art

So it finally happened, the cold/flu that everyone has had recently has caught up with me, and I'm regretting all the time that I was well and didn't appreciate it (you know the feeling I mean). Before I slip into a deep sleep (... I wish) I want to show you the latest Meebox*. This month's theme was Through The Looking Glass*. I was asked to review it because 'it has my name written all over it' but it really does, and I find it hard to turn down anything Alice in Wonderland related! This month box is worth a whopping £54.22, so you're definitely getting value for money. It includes:

Zoya - Saint* (£13)

iZ Beauty London - Front Row* (£6)

iZ Beauty London - Wonderland Inspired Decals* (£2)

Sally Hansen - Sleigh All Day + Miracle Gel Topcoat* (£14.99)

MoYou London - Alice 04 Stamping Plate* (£5.99)

Clear Jelly Crystal Clear Stamper* (£7.24)

I wanted to try and use everything from the box but in the end I used everything except the Sally Hansen polishes, which wasn't too bad going. 

Harry Potter Nail Art

I'm so happy it's the weekend, I've booked Monday off to get my Christmas shopping finished so I've got three whole days off and it's almost Christmasssss. Now it's December I feel like I can finally start getting excited for it. I know that these nails aren't Christmas related, but I thought that I had posted these in October but when I was looking on my Instagram I realised I never did, so I wanted to make sure you saw them before they got lost in the depths of my drafts folder. Seriously there's so many posts in there that just aren't relevant anymore, desk tour of my house from 2 years ago anyone? I've moved twice since then! 

Back in October I was lucky enough to be able to go and see Harry Potter and The Cursed Child in London, and we decided to make a weekend of it and also go to the Warner Bros studio tour, of course to mark the occasion I also had to do some Harry Potter nails, and to be honest I'm surprised it's taken me so many years to get round to doing any because I am a hugeeee Harry Potter fan. The play is amazing by the way, and I really really want to see it again.
