Back to School NAC - Day 3 Fave / Least Fave Subject

Gooooooooood morning!

Day 3 already - wow!

Today I went for least favourite subject. Why? Because I'm not confident in it, and to be honest, when I was in school the teachers made it boring as sin.

I'm hoping now that I have become a make-shift science teacher that I can make it more interesting for the pupils I teach!!

Pokémon NAC - Week 4 Water - Chinchou

Good morning!

Another Pokémon update today - I'm still behind but today I am upto week 4, Water pokémon!

There are a few new additions to the water list, but this one is by far the cutest! It has a really cute storyline in the anime where once a year they leave the water to go on a big migration, so I thought I would base my nails on that.

The base I have used is Mentality - Scalawag, its a beautiful blue holo. I then decided to cover that with Sinful Colors Hottie for an extra twinkle, and I've then used my trusty Sally Hansen Skys the Limit, Sinful Colors black and white and Revlon Sunshine Sparkle to freehand Chinchou onto my nails.

What do you think? I'm honestly really pleased with these. They're probably the best nails I've ever done. Ever. But then again, I love Chinchou a lot, its so cute!

Nail Art Challengez - Comic-Con Geek Week Day 4 - Inspired by a Comic Book

Today is Inspired by a Comic Book!

This was so HARD!

I am not a regular comic reader really, apart from the odd XMen comic.. but I am a big manga reader! My favourites (dont hate me) are Naruto, Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2, all of which I watch too!

So I decided to go simple - these are my Ranma 1/2 nails - featuring my favourite character - Ryoga / Pi-chan! He is forever the underdog, and you have to root for him for being such a tryer! <3

Quite proud of my thumb detail, though I realised after I did all my nails that he doesnt wear a leopard print neck tie.. its striped. DOH! Nevermind!

Nail Art Challengez - Comic-Con Geek Week Day 3 - Inspired by a Movie

Today is Inspired by a Movie! Sooo many options for this, but I have certain ideas for Day 4 and 5, so I went for something different today!

STAAAAAAAAARGAAAAAAATE! The film that officially initiated me into geekdom. I have loved all things futuristic and fantasy since I saw this!

Can you work out what each nail is? Most of them turned out how I planned, so hopefully you will get them all!

Nail Art Challengez - Comic-Con Nail Art Week Day 2 - Inspired by a TV show

Day 2 already! Exciting times!

Today is Inspired by a TV Show. I found out that my first choice was already someone elses choice too - but thats okay, cause its an awesome one! My absolute favourite TV show!

My mani isnt great, but the idea is Dean and Sam's demon ward tattoo on my thumb and the markings from the demon tablet (Season 8) are on my accent.

Had really shakey hands today so I'm not 100% happy with the accent but its the best its going to get! Now for the random Supernatural GIF spam!

I absolutely loved this season, especially Dean and Benny's friendship. Love Benny soooooo much! Loved these moments so much, I won't say anything else in case you haven't seen it yet!

But of course, I havent gotten to Season 8 without loving everything else - always get choked up at their brotherly 'caring' moments!

Nail Art Challengez - Comic-Con Geek Week Day 1 - Inspired by books or video games

Eeeee, so excited for this short mini challenge - 5 days of pure unadulterated geekery!

This is kindly hosted by Kelly at Peace Love Lacquer - thank you so much Kelly!

So first day is inspired by a book, but was later decided this could be a video game too :) so I went for the latter. I read SO many books I really struggled with an idea for my nails but there are so many possibilities for games - hope I wasn't too obvious with this choice!

Yay! Sonic! This brings back soo many good memories from my childhood :) I spent many an hour on this game and I was still shockingly bad at it! Never mind! The above photo was when I first did them - camera battery was dead, so its a rubbish phone pic. The below are after a full days wear so I'm sorry theyre a bit scrappy!
