Pink Wednesdays for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hey all, I have a new little wednesday installment for the next month - Pink Wednesdays for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I know there are already a lot of reasons for wearing pink on wednesdays, so I thought why not mix the two together.

So here is my first pink mani of the month - a stamped mani using one of my new MoYou London plates - the Princess plate 14.

I am loving so many of the MoYou London plates - I still have about 10-15 (and soon to be more with the new Mother Nature release) on my wishlist. I picked up 3 in my first purchase - this was one of them. I love the flower design, as well as the swirly dots and hearts, the jigsaw puzzle pieces and the interlocking hearts and the gingerbread men. I will definitely get plenty of use from this plate!

I used the swirly hearts design for this one - I was worried it wouldnt pick up as if you run your finger over it the design is so shallow and delicate that you can barely feel the engraving. But it picked up beautifully and looked lovely over the paler pink. The two polishes I used were both Essie - We're In It Together for the base and Big Spender for stamping with.

What do you think?

Pokemon NAC Week 5 Flying - Natu

Hey all! 

Got another edition of the Pokemon nail art challenge today! 

I had a fab idea to try watercolour nails as the background for this mani - I tried following the tutorial over at Paulinas Passions, but I think I must need pure acetone as nail polish remover was just not doing the job - my polish would not go watery and even, just globby. 

So you'll see my background is less than satisfactory, but I decided to not be wasteful and use it anyway!

Today's pokemon I chose was Natu - I always choose Natu in the games as my flying and psychic type, especially for the league as I try and have an even balance of pokemon types, strengths and weaknesses. 

So here are my little lovebird Natus. Unfortunately one of them is a bit derpy!

Again, if you're a lover of pokemon, cartoons or just fancy a bit of a challenge, feel free to join our facebook group! Everyone welcome! Its a free challenge, no time limits, so you can start when you like and post when you like - very relaxed!

No facebook? No problem - you can always share with me on my Twitter account, or feel free to email me or share links to your photos in the comments!

Datyorkloves Valentines NAC - Day 2 - Hearts

I am not a heart person! One i cant paint them on my nails and two theyre just too girly for me! So i tried to do Leopard Print hearts which i'd seen somewhere before but the end result is very loosely 'hearts' - but i'm trying!

If you look closely, the leopard spots are supposed to be heart shaped.. not exactly what was in my head but not too bad i hope? :)

Check out everyone else's heart manis :)
