Hi! 😀
Stormy Nails
Here are my stormy nails for this weeks pick and mix challenge! I chose the three dark colours from this weeks two prompts.
Nouveau, Strap On Your Moon Boots And Voodoo You Do.
I started out with a couple of coats of Voodoo You Do, a dark metallic grey from Color Club. then using Nouveau from Seche, Strap On Your Moon Boots from China Glaze, and some more Voodoo You Do along with a large dotting tool to create the overlapping clouds!
This really is incredibly easy, just have to remember to let the dotty clouds dry before adding the next layer 🙂

Hello! 🙂
Autumn Leaves
I have some very Autumnal nail art to show you today 🙂
My stoopid back is starting to feel better so now I can actually sit down for long enough to not only paint my nails but to write posts too! 😀
I wanted something bright, cheerful and non hallowe’en (I must be ill lol).
Sally Hansen, Rimmel London and Chanel
The polishes I used for this are
- Chanel – Dragon
- Sally Hansen – Lite
- Sally Hansen – Ruby Stilettos
- Sally Hansen – Ivory Skull
- Rimmel London – Sunny Days
- Rimmel London – Shirley Temple
- Rimmel London – Hot Chilli Pepper
I also used a Make Up Sponge cut into little bits, Konad Special Polish in Black, Stamping plate 14 from the Mother Nature Collection from Moyou and Seche Vite.
Sparkles!
A bit of a rubbish photo (my poor camera really hates macro shots) but look at the sparkles! 😀
Orange, Red and Yellow!
I really like this even though it’s mostly orange and yellow! 😀

Hello!
Grey and purple water spot
Sorry about the lack of posts this week, I have had really horrible back ache 
it means I can’t sit for very long, or lie down or stand for that matter… So doing nail art and writing blog posts haven’t really been happening 😦
Luckily it’s not feeling quite so horrible today so here are my Pick and Mix Challenge nails for this week! 🙂
Sinful Colors Amethyst and Seche Nouveau
I decided on a water spot mani because, I haven’t done one for a while and the other things I tried for this looked rubbish!
The purple is Amethyst from Sinful Colors, and the Grey I used for the spotting is Nouveau from Seche.
My one issue with this is how bubbly my topcoat is! Gah! It might be a reaction with the perfume or with the polish itself…
Spotty Nails!
I really should stop using my expensive perfume for water spot manis… But my fingers really do smell lovely lol!

Hello! 🙂
Dripping Blood
Here are some dripping blood inspired Halloween nails!
Gory nails
For this look I used
- Color Club – Nomadic In Nude
- Sinful Colors – Inkwell
- Chanel – Dragon
- Dotting Tool
- Thin Nail Art Brush
- Makeup Sponge
- Out The Door Topcoat
Drippy!
I started with a couple of coats of Nomadic In Nude, I applied Inkwell using a makeup sponge for the mucky looking gradient around the edge of my nails.
When it was dry I added two or three dots of Dragon to each nail using a large dotting tool and a stripe of the same red polish along the top, then with a thin nail art brush I joined the stripe to the dots!
The drips really are so easy! 😀
Gruesome drippy nails
These really are gory Halloween nails! 😀

Hello! 😀
Textured Zebra Nails
Here are my textured nails for this weeks pick and mix challenge! I decided on the textured prompt for this week, the others are matte and the 60s. I use matte finish a lot (that might be cheating a bit) and my mind went completely blank at 60s lol!
Moyou Pro 04
I managed to break the corners of my index and middle finger nails in a freak cooking accident so I ended up reshaping them… I have to say rounded nails are not for me! I keep thinking they look like spoons or paddles, my poor nails 😦 I think I’m just going to keep them well filed for the next few weeks until they grow back to a shape I like!
Anyway! I used Sugar fix from Sally Hansen Sugar Coat collection as my base for this mani. This is the first time I have used this polish, probably because it’s textured and I’m not really a big fan…
This is two coats, I used Moyou Pro XL 04 for the image along with Konad Special Polish In Black. I have to say the Sugar Fix is an amazing base for stamping over! The zebra print is so sharp!

Hello! 🙂
Happy Glitter Skulls
These little skulls definitely look happy or at least very pleased with themselves! 🙂
I started out with a white base for this I used Ivory Skull from Sally Hansen, then I added a couple of coats of Make a Spectacle from China Glaze. This polish has to be one of my favorite iridescent glitters, it’s made up of medium small and micro glitter in a clear base. So pretty! 🙂
I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Black using the skull image from Messy Mansion MM22. and you can find that right here! Messy Mansion MM22
