<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't posted any nail art for aaages so it's about time! I am really pleased with this one!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for this I painted my ring and little fingers with Picture Polish Fairy Floss and dabbed using </span><a href="http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2012/04/gradient-nails-picture-tutorial.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Nailasaurus' gradiant technique</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> (with a lot of extra dabbing because it didn't work the first time :p) over the bottom of those two nails with Cult Nails Love at First Sight and painted the other two nails with the same.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I have to inform you of the awesomeness that is <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/">MoYou</a>.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right I did these at Christmas and apparently didn't write down what I used and how many coats etc. so I might be off a bit. I painted all nails in two coats (I think!) of Ciate Boudoir (I'm pretty sure). Then I painted over all of them with a coat of Calvin Klein Hallucinate. Then on the ring finger I used a coat of Barry M's limited edition Christmas polish (that I bought the Christmas before :p).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally I stamped over each nail with different stamps from the MoYou <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/index.php/http-www-moyou-co-uk-index-php-collections-html/festive-collection/moyou-london-moyou-nail-art-design-image-plate-stencils-set-festive-collection-04.html">Festive Collection plate 04</a> in Barry M Matte White.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for the middle nail I wanted to try a </span><a href="http://onenailtorulethemall.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/tutorial-thursday-negative-space-nails.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">negative space nail</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> that I saw on One Nail to Rule Them All's blog. I painted on a heart using Barry M Matte White and a dotting tool, which took me fooorever! Then used a cotton bud and acetone to remove the polish in the middle of the heart, which also took me ages :p </span></div>

When Charlie at <a href="http://www.pocketmoneypolishes.co.uk/">Pocket Money Polishes</a> directed me to her website of nail polish awesomeness I only went to have a look and came out the other side seven polishes richer :p </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can probably tell from the title, these polishes are ridiculously cheap at £4 each (before P&P) but you wouldn't know from their quality! Here I have all seven of these bad boys to show with topcoat and matted :D</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is two coats of Heart of Glass kinda dabbed on, I use Let Them Have Polish's chunky glitter method (see it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF5FWqEEVDY">here</a>), it really works! So I did two 'coats' of that over two coats of Barry M Dusky Mauve, although it just looks brown in the photos :p This polish is so packed so there was no fishing needed for bigger pieces but just a bit of placing. </span></div>

It has pastel green, purple and pink/orange hexes, white, green and purple stars and little glitter flecks. For some reason it makes me think of christmas jumpers :p I imaging being all cuddly in a warm woolly jumper wearing this!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hmm got an awesome orange polish, now I just need a good song title to go with it, how about the most epic song evaarrr?! You need a pretty special polish to live up to that name and indeed it does :D Eye of the Tiger has big and small orange hexes, black stars and yellow glitter flecks and is lavly. I think it needs to go over a darker orange than this but my other oranges were too dark so you wouldn't have been able to see the hexes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yo Adrian! Check this out matted! That's an actual line from the film, honest. This is dabbed again over two coats of Mavala Fresh Melon. I had to do a bit of digging for the stars but I hadn't left the bottle upside down or anything, and it was only a bit of twirling the brush around, not too difficult! It helped build my arm muscles, Stallone would've been proud! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another one I bought because it reminded me of a Billy Joel song (Weekend Song) :p That's not the only thing that makes me decide to do anything I swear! I like Working for the Weekend because it kinda looks like the light reflecting off a disco ball, which says weekend to me :p This polish has blue, green and yellow hexes and bigger purple hexes with no fishing of course.</span></div>

Over two coats of Cult Nails Kiss my Rosebush, well I say two coats, it kept cracking for some reason so I had to go over some bits again, but you can't tell on the photos (I hope :p).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is I Have a Dream dabbed over two coats of George Cupcake (yeah really George as in Asda, one of the first polishes I bought when getting into nails about a year ago and never used, it's gorgeous! Or should that be...George-ous?)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was only a slight bit of digging needed because I didn't know about the hearts so had to look for them, and a bit of placing of the squares, but no problems at all!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of these polishes came off very easily with the usual 'foil' technique.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So overall I am loving these polishes! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for new ones, but right now there is a recommend to a friend scheme being tried out where you can get 10% off your first order if you say in the comment box on the order form that I pointed you there (I think Mel from Take me to your lacquer is enough :p) except for on the charity polish. So go chicky check it out! <a href="http://www.tbeanz.com/PMP/Retail.htm">Pocket Money Polishes</a></span></div>

Today I have some looovely polishes to show, the cremes from Cult Nails' Dance All Night collection. I had been dying to get these and there was a 10% off sale recently so I went for it. I ended up paying back what I saved on the customs charges but that's not the point :p

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Starting with my 'least' favourite (trying to pick a least favourite of these is like trying to pick your least favourite How I Met Your Mother character, it's a toughie!), Faded is described on the Cult Nails site as a 'blue toned, ever-so-soft, grey creme polish'. I had no idea it was meant to be blue toned, I didn't see any blue tones when it was on and I can't see any in the photos. Luckily I bought it based on the lovely grey colour so I am in no way disappointed! I'm not really a fan of greys but this one is just gorgeous. There are a lot of nice greys but a properly gorgeous one is a must have!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Building up, my second favourite is Love At First Sight, argh this colour is gorgeous! It applies so nicely and is so shiny! None of these have a top coat by the way, they shine aaaall on their own. This is described as a 'stunning bright purple cream polish' which is spot on :D</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nakizzle's Shizzle is my very favourite of the whole set (and of Cult Nails so far!), it is described as a 'super bright, yet soft, blue creme polish', I would say that's about right, I can't describe how much I love this colour without using the same words over and over and more than my fair share of exclamation marks :p But it's one of my favourites of my whole stash :D</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These were all two coats of each colour with no top coat and they all came off very easily with the spongey thing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While this sale was on I just had to buy the Wax That wax effect top coat. I've been after it since it came out but never got round to buying it, so I finally did it and I'm so glad that I did, it's amazing! I've only used it on the Dance All Night colours so here are the pics so you can see how gorgeous it is!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently found out that the TJ Hughes right next to my work sells full size OPIs for £4.99! I'm not sure if it's because there's something wrong with them, and I'm pretty sure they're not fakes. They change the ones they have quite a lot, the first time I checked it was just lots of different greys and browns but the next time I went in 'just to have a look' I ended up with four. So here they are!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up is I Don't Give a Rotterdam, a blue shimmer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nothin Mousie 'Bout It is a pink shimmery glittery polish with cute pink hearts in. This is two coats of Nothin Mousie 'Bout It over the three coats of It's Totally Fort Worth It, not sure if you could build it up without a base colour. I did need to dig a bit for the hearts which would have been fine, but the brush kept falling out of the lid when I turned it around the bottle, I'm not going to complain though for a fiver! The hearts also needed a bit of placing but it's to be expected with big glitter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A month or so ago I started on this Swatchicles project as inspired by Very Emily's blog </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(</span><a href="http://www.emilydenisephotography.com/blog/?p=2259" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.emilydenisephotography.com/blog/?p=3815" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">), I did post about it but I had a problem with the blog deleting my photos so I'll explain again. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The idea is you paint all your varnishes on fake nails (I'm using swatch sticks rather than nails and stirrers because me with a glue gun is just not a good idea) so that when you're deciding what colour to use you can see what they look like when dry and how many coats they need. They also kinda look like flowers but without the upkeep and the smell :p </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought 150 of the swatch sticks (from </span><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261225295104?redirect=mobile" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">), painted each one then labelled them by writing on a piece of paper and taping them on...</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And now I have finished!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm very happy with them! I thought maybe I could do a challenge type thing for myself where I can pick out two or three sticks at random and make a mani out of them, might give me some ideas!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have any Superman things to pose with so I decided to do a bit of nail art with this one. I can't tell you how much I love this polish, it's just gorgeous! It is another clear polish with three different shades of blue holographic hexagonal glitters, yellow circles and biiig red circles. Very cleverly based on the suits and SO packed full of glitter! This is one coat of Barry M Navy with two coats of Son of Jor-El, there was no fishing needed at all but I did need to place the circles a bit, only because there were so many coming out at a time (which is definitely a good thing!). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was my first time using glequins so be nice! :p I painted all nails with Barry M Navy, then painted on the cat using acrylic paint (funnily enough I've had a box of acrylic paint sitting in a wardrobe for years and thought they were watercolours so I didn't think to try them for my nails, so much easier than trying to paint over dark varnishes with lighter ones!). I painted a white square and the side of the face in white first to make sure the other colours stood out from the blue.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I put a bit of clear polish on where I wanted the glequins to go (I did a colour at a time rather than each nail) then dabbed the dotting tool in the polish to pick up the glequins and stuck them on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I'm happy with them, I need more practice with the glequins though! They came off pretty easily with cotton wool and polish remover (a few pinged off before that so use two coats of top coat!), the acrylic paint needed the foil technique to get off.</span><br />

Normally when I see an indie polish I like I'll write it on a memo on my phone, check back a few days later to see if I reaaally want it, check my bank account to see what the damage will be, check back, maybe buy it with my eyes closed. But when I saw this one I didn't even have to think about it and had bought it before Paypal knew what was happening! This is Secret Galaxy by Polish Addict and it is gooorgeous!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is four coats of just Secret Galaxy, no base colour, and a coat of Seche Vite to smooth the glitter over. It's packed full of green, purple and blue tiny glitter and hexagon glitter then big holographic crescent moons and even bigger circle glitter (I've been dying to get circle glitter in a polish, this is my first one!). I didn't have to do any fishing at all, even the big circle glitters came right out! I did do a bit of placing so the crescents would be more spread about because it is just so packed with them! I love how you can layer this one up so it's like you're looking through the polish at all the lovely moons and circles, *sigh*.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lovely! I took so many pictures of my nails with this on but none of them do it justice like the first one, I do love that photo :p</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One thing I have to add is that it was an absolute pain in the bum to get off, took a lot of scrubbing even after the foil technique (I should buy some tin foil and do it properly really) but it's so worth it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can buy it <a href="http://shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">hyar</a>. Hope you like and have the occasional splurge without thinking, it has to be done sometimes :p</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this I painted all nails in two coats of Where's my Chauffeur?, one coat of Seche Vite over that, then I painted the ring finger nail all in Forever Young (I could probably have done without the Essie under it seeing as it covered up my whole swatch stick in only two coats!) and used striping tape to mark out the tips then painted Forever Young on top. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Forever Young is sooo pretty, it's quite thick and white in two coats which reminds me of snow and makes me feel all Christmasy, not that it ever snows at Christmas, but wearing this makes me think of wooly cardis, especially Martin Freeman's big red cardi in Nativity</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sigh...Anywho, this polish is interesting because in normal light and flash you can see white small and square glitters. The above is without flash and this is with:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pretty special! Plus it also has lovely big red hearts in it. I had to dig a bit for the hearts but I hadn't kept the bottle upside down for a while so it was my own fault. Other than that it goes on really well, I purposely used thick coats but it looks really cute as one thin coat too.</span><br />

South Park is hilarious and I did my usual thing of going back to episode one and watching every episode a few months ago which inspired this :p I'm not sure why I only took one picture but it might be because their eyes are all a bit funny!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one was easy-ish to do but it just took forever! I painted them all with Cult Nails Enticing as a sort of skin colour, then used a dotting tool and freehand to do the hats/hood (too many colours to list!) and the Barry M pens in black and white to do the eyes (whites and pupils), mouths, Kyle's eyebrows and Cartman's chins :p I have to say I love this one :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unfortunately that's the only pic I have of this one, but I do have another interesting one. When I did this I was still using the <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/11/How-To-Remove-Glitter-Nail-Polish-Foil-Method.html" target="_blank">foil technique</a> (but without foil, now I use one of these <a href="http://www.bourjois.co.uk/catalog/make_up/accessories/all_accessories/magic_nail_polish_remover" target="_blank">sponge things</a>) to take off my polish so it would always come off onto the cotton wool the same as it was on my nails...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love how OPI goes on, the first coat (or two) seems quite patchy, then the next coat evens it all out and it looks gorgeous. One of the main reasons I always go back to OPI (and Essie) is the wide brush, it makes it so much easier to apply and I'm also loving the shape of these bottles!</span></div>

I used OPI Anti Bleak, OPI You're Such a Budapest (I think! I normally write this stuff down but I didn't for this for some unknown reason, apologies!) and Sally Hansen Showgirl Chic. Showgirl Chic is also used on the little finger. I thought it looked pretty cute. The heart is a bit too flat though so it pinged off quite soon afterwards :p</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for this I used Essie's Snap Happy as a base, I've never found a proper one coater until Snap Happy! Then I sponged on some black because the poster is kind of grainy, but I think it's just made them look a bit dirty, well the thought was there. Then I drew on the chains with the black Barry M pen. I used Seche Vite for the shiny one and the matte top coat from the Born Pretty Store. I recommend the film by the way, it's brilliant! This has got to be my favourite still of any film ever:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why not start off with what I have on my nails right now?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
This is Velvet Tuxedo by Ciate. I found out John Lewis in Liverpool sell some pretty awesome nail varnishes and I've never had a Ciate before, I really wanted to get Iced Frappe and Cookies and Cream but they are so similar to colours I already have so I restrained myself and bought this lovely one instead (maybe 'restrained' wasn't the right word).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two coats and a top coat with flash, beautiful! I could have used one coat but I made a few mistakes so had to go over again. It's so shiny that it kept reflecting the light with and without flash, so every photo has a bit of a shine going on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I took a photo of it without a topcoat and it kinda looks like a foil type polish I think...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there you go, my first proper post! This lasted about three or four days before chipping (and I'm a clumsy person) and I used two coats of Essie Intense Hydration Base Coat, two coats of Velvet Tuxedo and one coat of Seche Vite. You can buy this colour from John Lewis for £8.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Welcome to my nail polish and nail art blog! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had a blog before but it didn't really take off and I didn't update as much as I should have, now that I have a few manis saved up I thought I'd give it another try! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy it and please do leave me any feedback if it's not looking good, I would really appreciate it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bye for now,</span><br />
