Merry Christmas..

Merry Christmas...

So, I was meant to post this yesterday...
Every year these are by far my favourite nail design!

They always make me jolly, and are very noticeable, 

so normally get commented on!

I still don't have my camera so again these are taken using my phone!

Which I am now getting used to!

Hope you had a lovely Christmas!

Hopefully will post the tutorial later tonight!

Red and White

Red and White

I was inspired by one of my Christmas jumpers for this design!

Its such a bright jumper, I love it!

Unfortunately I didn't leave myself much time to do this design, 

so ended up being a bit rushed..

Hope you're having a lovely Christmas eve!

Tutorials coming soon

Feeling festive!

Feeling Festive!

Its Christmas eve!

I have a few nails paints coming tonight, and some tutorial!

Hope you're all getting excited for tomorrow!

I decided for the design to cover some of the 

other things I think made Christmas that I haven't already!

So I painted a postbox and robin, Turkey an sprouts, 

Santa, a wreath and Rudolf!

Santa Nails!

Santa Nails

I painted my housemate's nails, 
however I totally forgot to photograph them!
She took some pictures for me though, phew!

We decided to go with Father Christmas, 
as we were going on our last night out of the year we thought 
we'd dress up!

She was Santa and I was Rudolf and my other friend was festive!

Candy canes

Candy canes

I painted these right at the start of December, but only
took two pictures and they weren't great...

I kept telling myself I would redo them, but haven't gotten around to it!
I really liked the design, so posting anyway!

Holly

Painted my Nan's nails today.
Seems like forever since I last saw her!
We kept it simple but festive with little holly eaves and berries.

I have also filmed a couple of tutorials that I am
attempting to sort out!
Unfortunately I have not got my camera with me,
so everything recently has had to be taken on my phone!

4 days till Christmas!

Christmas Nails

Christmas Nails

I've got round to painting festive nails!
Finished all my assignments for the year, so just looking forward to 

Christmas and revision...

The only idea I had for this manicure was

candy canes, so I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Been wearing plenty of Christmas jumpers 

and decorated my uni house with my house mates, 

love this time of year!

Hope you're all getting in the festive spirit!

Pink, black and white stripes

Pink, black and white stripes

I haven't painted anyone else's nails for such a long time!
But I went home recently and caught up with my best friend!
We chatted, drank wine, and of course nail painted!

 We decided one the base colour before the design,

and got inspiration from a nail art book someone sent me!

Pretty happy with how they came out, 

it was nice to be painting someone else's nails for once!

Birthdays

Birthdays

November was a very busy birthday month!
Lots of celebrating and merriment!
As my last post was fairly serious and not at all cheery,
thought I would lighten the mood! 

I did a really simple design, but it made me feel cheery!

I thought I would keep this post short and sweet!
Christmas nails coming soon!

Phoenix

Phoenix Nails

As some of you may know, at the end of October there was an 

electrical fire at my university house.
Me and my house mates are all OK, (although shaken and stressed).
It was a complete accident and no ones fault (Which is very relieving!)
We were moved into emergency accommodation for 2 weeks,

it was one of the most stressful experiences in my life.

Moving our stuff back and fourth between accommodation, and trying to
sort out what was going on, took all of our time.
If we weren't in lectures we were busy sorting something house or fire related.
I don't think I've ever truly understood what being busy was!
We are all back in our house now, and have most of our time back, 

there are of course still things being sorted, but its manageable!

I decided to paint phoenix nails, as I wanted to explain why just after 

getting back into the swing of blogging, I left again!
And I think the idea of a phoenix ties in really well with our situation.
The fire definitely changed all of us, but I think for the better!
(Although we are now some of the most cautious people on the planet!)
I believe it has given us a different outlook on things in a largely positive way.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my house mates!

From sleeping on their sofa, to storing food in the freezer!

It was massively appreciated!

My family were amazing and helped support us as much as they could.

Thank you

This has been a very wordy post for me!
Hope I haven't waffled on too much!

Its now officially December, 

so get ready for some Christmas nails and cheerier posts!
