12 Days Of Christmas Challenge Day 4

Is it really day 4 of the challenge already!?
Today's prompt was snowmen, so without further ado, here are my snowmen......

I used Barry M's silvery lilac and denim for my base coats, I then used No7's Tip whitener and Barry M's black for my snowmen and "snow" polka-dots and a coat of Rimmels glitter ball on the polka dot nail.

I cant wait to make a start on day 5's Christmas movie nail art!!

Don't forget to check out everybody elses snowmen!

Oh em geeeeeee!!

Hi Nailistas!!
I haven't posted for a while! Plenty of reasons, main reason is I stopped smoking!! Go me!! But I did this with champix which unfortunatley sent me off the deep end!! Now it dosen't do this to everyone.... seems I was one of the (un)lucky ones!!
Anyway enough of my ramblings and onto nails!!
I have a stack of manis lined up and photographed....inbetween tears I fortunatley still found the time to do manis!! I'm also bringing in a fun new feature for Mondays but I shall be keeping that under wraps until I have all the stuff together for it.
So here is a mix 'n' match mani I did using Barry M's 'Cyan blue' and 'Lemon ice'...........



I love Barry M's range of polishes. They're so versatile and oh so affordable and there's a shade for every occasion!!

I'm currently sporting a simple mani of nails inc sprinkles in 'Sweets way'.

I love this polish it has such an indulgent feel to it and I always drag this one out when I need a pick me up.

On a final un-nail related note, I have been smoke free for over 2 weeks now and just wanted to give a shout out to all of you that feel like you cant do it.....You can!!!

See you tomorrow my lovelies!!

First Attempt At Gradient.

Well my first attempt at gradient turned out to be a galaxy/gradient hybrid whatever possesed me to use so much glitter in one go i will never know. I started off with a base coat of Barry M's red glitter then sponged on a purple glitter polish from claires, i finished with a sponging of No7's Betty Blues and hey presto my moment of madness mani was created!! As you can guess removal of this was a hellish process and I can never see myself recreating this mani however I got more compliments than expected!!
Please excuse picture quality, i don't think my camera could deal with all the sparkle!!
