Y Nails...Why Not?

I'm very lucky to have a guest contributor today! One of my very best friends, Abi, is as into nails as I am, and has kindly agreed to share some of her designs and experiments with us. Yay! :)



Abi has used two coats of "Blimanche" by Filthy Gorgeous at Debenhams, and two coats of "Prism" from the same range, which are both £2.70 (down from £10) at the moment in their sale! We agreed that "Prism" looks a lot like a little sprinkling of fairy dust. Who doesn't need a little fairy dust?!

Merry Christmas everyone! OK, I know I'm a little late, sorry about that. Blame food poisoning/stomach flu/whatever it was. Anywho, my Christmas nail design:

I don't know how many of my followers are UK-based, and how many of you aren't and/or have never heard of Bonfire Night. Allow me to help you out.

I apologise. I just LOVE that site. Sorry. Anyway...So in celebration of the last time anyone entered the Houses of Parliament with honest intentions, we basically set fire to things and let off fireworks. La-la-laaaa!!

Here are my firework-inspired nails (though someone has already complimented me on my "space nails", so, whatever you prefer. Fireworks, space, I'm happy as long as they're pretty!).

I get asked a lot at work by customers how many nail polishes I actually own. Well, following an evening of caffeinated flu medications, I can now reveal (organised by brand) The Collection:

I LOVED the nails from NYFW, especially the gruesome blood spatter nails from Prabal Gurung. I thought I'd give them a go for Halloween!

I love Autumn, the crisp air, the crispier leaves, the bonfires, the excuse to drag out your woolies again after the Summer...Awesome.

I took inspiration from the colours of Autumn for my latest design, and thought I'd dig out my sponges again.

Now, I was in two minds about whether to post these photographs. In the end I decided to just apologise profusely for the state of the paint job! Yes, my fingers are still messy and covered in nail oil. Usually I wait until I've cleaned it off to take the photograph, but I fell asleep drying and woke up in time to just grab a few snaps before bed!

So please ignore the fact that they look like the base coat was applied by a 5yr old. :S

I apologise for the state of the base colour (and my nails...run out of Nail Envy and had to do something to spin out what I was wearing!!), but my BFF sent me a video of this adorable panda design, and I just had to give it a shot!
