Colour Changing Polish
Clicking about on ebay the other day to find some new gel colours and I came across some colour changing polish... Surely not I thought to myself so I read some reviews and it seemed perfectly legit. So my first port of call is to tell my sister about them, so we can discuss which of the colours we should try, the next thing I know I am at her front door collecting not 1 but 2 bottles from the postman. She has a bigger ebay problem than me (I am almost sure after trying these colours she has ordered some more)

Minnie Mouse
This manicure was a pure rip off from Polish Art Addiction It was a "saw this and needed it in my life" moment.
It was also a challenge for me, because, although I DO have a polka dot stamp plate for easy spots I DON'T have a bow stamp =[ (yet) so it was a challenge (could I recreate by hand what a stamping plate can do in seconds)

Galaxy nails
I am still with out a camera (which is annoying because I have so many idea I want to try)
So here is another old manicure
Galaxy nails are something that I saw on every blog late 2012 so of course I had to try them
After attempting sponging the galaxy on my toe nails I decided for my night out I didn't want to risk a total mess so I opted for a black polish with 3 different glitter sizes.
Not happy with just the glitter I decided a splash of colour would look good so I cracked out my nail art pens and took the blue and purple and "splashed" a few randomly placed lines of colour.
(This picture doesn't do justice to the final result - which was much more shiny )

Since I am relatively new to blogging, I thought I would upload some
of my old manicures too
The pictures are a bit rubbish (but I'm still
pretty rubbish at that to be honest)
Also, I created a new water mark and went a tad overboard with it (I was quite excited about making it!)

Animal Stamps and New Polish
Yesterday I was in the supermarket getting some shopping with my mum and when I wandered past the Rimmel stand a purple polish just screamed at me to buy it(as they so often do!!), so in the trolley it went. Obviously as soon as I got home I had to try it and I have been itching to try some of my tip stamps and see how straight I could get them (so far I have failed miserably at getting them straight)
Not one to be content with a single colour or pattern I thought I would try stamping some of my newer Barry M Gelly Polishes as well (over at Brit Nails, Allie had suggested the Gelly polishes were great for stamping but I hadn't had a chance to try them yet!)
The result :
Well I like them
I stamped each of the colours over the white tips of my Acrylic nails so I apologize about the state of my cuticles , they are in a pretty sorry state
Read more to see what colours I used.

Royal baby and Tea Pots
Congratulations Kate and Wills =]
Yesterday over at Brit Nails there was a Review for Nailtopia Alice in Wonderland Nail Stickers. They where wonderful stickers and a fabulous manicure.
This coupled with the news of the royal baby has inspired me to do a thoroughly British Nail design involving teapots.
