This is a very long over due post! I have had a lot going on just lately and rather put too much pressure on myself it was better to take a complete break from everything. I have been full of worry and a heavy heart and when it comes to such matters it is best for me to stay quiet and give myself time to except situations just as they are. I don't want to explain anymore only that it has been worry for my daughter, my children and my family. We are getting there and I will hopefully be having enough free time to keep my little blog going and up to date.<br />
<br />
When I say I have took a break from everything, well that wasn't quite true. I had took a break from my blog and all the online stuff involved. I also haven't really painted my nails either for a good few weeks now. But I have still been buying a few things here and there I just haven't had a chance to play with them till now. I know that my blog will be totally behind with updates and news of these thing but as this is my space and my record of things I will still be sharing them with you.<br />
<br />
Through the summer and fairly recently I purchased a few things:<br />
<br />
China Glaze Hunger Games Collection<br />
China Glaze Bohemian Collection<br />
China Glaze Safari Collection<br />
XL Plate L<br />
China Glaze Summer Neon's Collection<br />
Cheeky Plates Summer Collection<br />
XL Plate's M and N<br />
XL Plate's O and P<br />
China Glaze Eye Candy Collection<br />
China Glaze Wicked Collection<br />
China Glaze United In Purpose Collection<br />
<br />
Today I will share the China Glaze Hunger Games Collection<br />
<br />
These are so utterly gorgeous and I am thrilled that I got these. I must admit that upon first glance of these when the pictures whirled round the blogaspheres I was unsure if this was a collection I would need or be happy with. I couldn't have been more wrong. <br />

As you can see from these pictures that these polishes are absolutely gorgeous. There are lots of glimmers, sparkles and holographic elements to these polishes. I could not have been more wrong about these polishes and I only wish I had bought them sooner. I can't wait to try these polishes out with stamping and other nail art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will be posting more pictures of the other collections and stamping sets I purchased. If you have the Hunger Games Collection I would love to hear what you thought of these polishes.</div>

So the kids are back to school tomorrow and Dylan has his first afternoon also. He is too little and has only just turned 4 I hope he will be ok. <br />
<br />
So I wanted to have a change from colourful nails. I thought I haven't just done a french manicure for ages but I need to bling it up a little come on, just plain nails look great for a day but are totally uninspiring (boring).<br />
<br />
When I was storing my XL Plate L I came across this plate that I have been dying to try out but sadly I had forgotton about. I aim to try all these images at some point they are just absolutely gorgeous.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I got this plate from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/INTRODUCTION-Collection-Introduction-Designs-Cheeky/dp/B006OMHV00/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1346710776&sr=8-9" target="_blank">Amazon Cheeky Beauty</a>

You can also purchase from <a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/Nail-Stamping/Stamping-Schablonen/XL-Schablone/XL-Stamping-Schablone-C.html" target="_blank">Magno Nails</a><br />

<br />
<br />
So these are my nails! Unfortunately they are not perfect but I know my mistake was being in a rush and not letting my nails completely set. It was nothing to do with the stamp I assure you the image itself was crisp and perfect on paper. I hope you like my nails and please share with me your attempts at using this plate I would love to see.<br />
<br />
A big thank you to my hubbie for taking the pictures for me with his fabulous camera. Much superior to my Iphone images I must say! Thank you baby x<br />
<br />
Ok, bye for now!<br />

First of all I need to show you my new plate I received. It is a continuation of my XL plates but instead of getting them from Cheeky on Amazon I got it from <a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/index.php" target="_blank">Magno Nails</a>. It is plate <a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/Nail-Stamping/Stamping-Schablonen/XL-Schablone/XL-Stamping-Schablone-L.html" target="_blank">XL L</a> and it came super quick, less than a week, so I was really pleased.<br />

When I was presented with the Liebster Award there was one girl I wanted to nominate but as the rules state you have to have under 200 followers I couldn't include her. I was super gutted as in my opinion this girl deserves an award!<br />

If you haven't already heard of her she has an amazing blog with an awesome and heavenly stamp collection. She always seems to be in the know well about the things I want to know about at least. She has also been super kind to me. She was the first follower of my blog and she has also made friends with me on other sites.<br />
<br />
She has super cute nail designs and I am always excited to read one of her posts! Well I would like to highlight one post in particular that has pleased me know end and has provided some gorgeous pictures.<br />

The post I would like to highlight is if you hadn't already heard she has confirmed the rumours about <b><u>China Glaze Hologlam Collection 2013</u></b> and provided pictures for us to ogle at. Super kind as always.<br />
<br />
So this is my little thank you to Sarah and please check out her post at <a href="http://www.spellbindingnails.com/2012/08/china-glazes-hologlam-collection.html">http://www.spellbindingnails.com/2012/08/china-glazes-hologlam-collection.html</a><br />

Hi guys! Cripes so happy about this right now. I have been nominated for the Liebster Award!! Yikes!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She has a gorgeous blog filled with lovely pictures and interesting detail. As you know I am only just starting and am learning as I go. So I feel really pleased that people are finding my little blog ( it was supposed to be a secret, sshh!!) and that someone thinks I am doing well enough to deserve a little award. Aww this has pleased me beyond words.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><u><br /></u></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">1. I am happily married to my husband Gary. We have 3 beautiful kids together, Joshua 13, Rebecca 6 and Dylan will be 4 next week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">2. I am 4ft 11 or 5 ft depending on who measures me. My husband is 5ft 11 and towers over me. But he is a gentle giant or I'm a bossy dwarf and we love it this way. I have little woman's syndrome and I make a lot of noise and I talk a lot but he is Mr Chill and is so layed back. It did take some getting used to at first but we kiss with me on my tip toes which is quite nice actually.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">3. I don't know if its my height or if I genuinely do look young but people are always surprised that I am 32 and are doubly surprised to realise I have 3 kids especially that one is a teenager. Good genes I guess plus I have tried every cream (that I can afford) out there so something must have paid off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">4. I love high heels that is my one true love other than polish ( I need the height). But as I have only size 3 feet I struggle to get the shoes I like, w</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">hich sucks. Josh is 13 and he is now nose to nose with me and has size 5 feet. I think I might need a step on those days when he needs a clip round the back of the head ( ha, ha!!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">5. Walking is a passion of mine and I have always been a big walker. The last few years I haven't been able to do as much as I like but I am hoping to change that this year.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">6. We have a dog called Chip but our first dog was called Chocolate. We only need one more called Cookie and we will have had the set ( ha, ha!!) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">7. I am extremely fearful of spiders and will think nothing of screaming my head off at them (like that will help things!) </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">8. I love candles and have a ritual every night of throwing away the old tea lights and putting new ones in and lighting them all. I love the lights, the smell and the activity of actually doing it. Good thing my husband loves it too!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">9. I love to laugh and love funny people. I could watch Lee Evans with the sound off just his body language and actions are funny to me on their own. But my kids worry about me when I get laughing as I have a tendency to cry when I get going.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">10. I stopped smoking 7 years ago and have never looked back. I saw a hypnotherapist about it but you still need will power to get you there. Although I went out with the girls a few months back and ending up having a cigarette but I was too drunk to remember it really. A crazy moment that I won't be repeating.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">11. This may be boring but I love and live for my family and would do anything for them. Nail polish and blogging are my little outlet to have my own little identity outside of them but that's it. I am just a simple girl really. I don't want much just to be happy and at peace.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><b>1) When and why did you start blogging?</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I only started blogging this year in May, although I had thought about it for awhile but<b> </b>I am a bit shy. My husband built a little display unit for my nail polish and all that jazz and that gave me the push to decide to create a blog of my own. Also I had been taking pictures of my nails for awhile and my Iphone and Computer both went down at the same time and I hadn't backed them up. I lost everything, all my pictures so this blog was created to be a more permanent place for them and to encourage me to use all the stuff I have.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">2) How many bottles of polish do you own?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I would say I have about 250 polish about 50 stripers and about 40 Konad Special Polish for stamping. So a lot but its my little thing and I love it. My collection is probably small compared to others but in my house which is very small it is a massive collection that is slowly taking over the house. (oops sorry to the hubster x)</span></span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">3) What color do you have the most of in your collection?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I would say without even looking it would be blue. I love blue and if someone is wearing blue on their nails, I just fall in love with the colour, the design and the pattern if they have one and I will do anything I can to hunt down the colour and try to emulate their nails. Freaky I know but I can't help it! It could also be pink as well because my Rebecca loves her some pink so when I get this colour I think of her.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">4) What is your first memory of nail polish?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">My Auntie Christine and Auntie Janice both had long nails and wore red nail polish. As a little girl I was fascinated by their nails. My mum didn't wear any polish so it was really pleasing to me to see these shiny nails. I think right then and there a nail addict was born!!</span></span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">5) What do your friends/family think of your hobby?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">My husband and kids think it is great. My husband bless him is really supportive but I think he would wish I wasn't quite as obsessed for the sake of our house. My Mum loves it but she can't really be bothered with nail polish herself. My Dad thinks I am crazy when I tell him I am buying more polish he says "But you already have all that, why do you need more?" The thing is I don't need more, nobody needs nail polish I just love it. My friends just know that's me and that's who I am. But they are always really surprised how long I keep my nails when I have the 3 kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">My family knows but I haven't mentioned to any of my friends that I am blogging. It just hasn't come up in a conversation and I guess I am still a bit shy about it all really. I will in time...!!</span></span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">6) What are your hobbies other than blogging?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I love reading. I devour books when I get chance. I could sit and read all day long<b> </b>and do as often as I can. Walking is my head clearer. I love to walk and get all the jumble mess that is my brain all untangled from the heavy stressful knot that is life so there is calm and organisation inside once more. (if only!)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">7) What's your favorite nail polish color? </b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I would say For Audrey China Glaze. Inspired by the Tiffany's blue. It's not a perfect dupe but very similar. I don't have it any more, it ran away not sure where. But will be purchasing again in the near future.</span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">8) What would be your dream polish?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I love Holos but I would love a polish that you stripe on and it would be rainbow effect or polka dots, that would be really cool. Well a girl can dream. I would just settle to being able to buy China Glaze 'OMG' without the £50 price tag. Although I have heard a little rumour they are bringing out a new Holo set called 'Hologlam' in 2113, so watch this space. (please let it be so!!)</span></span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">9) What is something you love, but everyone else hates. </b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Honestly, I have wracked my brain but I can't think of anything. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I am a laid back sort of girl and so are the people in my life, there' </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">is nothing I hate nor do they. Oh except maybe the crazy frog, I can't stand that thing!!</span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">10) What trends do you love?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I love One Stroke nail art, Stamping on nails or hand drawn designs, and glitter nails. I love, love, love kawaii japanese nail art I think it is amazing. Those girls have some style!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">11) What trends do you hate?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I wouldn't say I hate but not sure about stilleto nails. Don't get me wrong they look great in pictures and on some celebs but I don't think they are practical for everyday. But to be fair I have never tried them personally so I guess I need to try them before I can really set an opinion. I am just kind of scared I might take one of my kids eyes out or something like that!!</span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></b>

Its been a hectic summer holidays for me and it hasn't turned out quite as planned but never mind. I am still struggling to get time to do my nails, infact I haven't even painted them for myself all summer ( boo hoo!!) It is just coming up to midnight now and I am squeezing this in before I go to bed. This was just for fun so I hope you don't mind.<br />

3. Paint each colour on the sponge and dab onto nails. It doesn't have to be perfect.</div>

4. Clean up your nails and skin the best you can before stamping as the sponging can get really messy.</div>

5. Make sure your nails are dry before you proceed.</div>

8. Konad Silver Glitter Top Coat ( no special reason for this, it was just for a change and to make the nails more attractive)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You could keep it matt if you prefer ( no top coat as shown in previous pics) or just use a normal top coat. The nail art is quite dark and this just for me made it stand out more.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I know its a really quick post tonight but I promise I will get time to be more creative with my nails soon. I hope you enjoyed this design and I will be back sharing more pictures with you.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok that's it for me, bye for now!</div>

I am so sorry that I have been out of action for awhile. It's summer as you all know and I have 3 beautiful kids that are keeping me very busy right now. Plus you gotta love the Olympics aswell. It takes some doing just to watch all these events but we are managing it with a little help from Tivo. You have to love Virgin right! It was sad that Kerry Ann Payne from Stockport (where I live) didn't get a medal but haven't the Brits done well. Go on Team GB!!!!<br />
<br />
I promise that I will do some posts as soon as I can. I have just received my China Glaze Hunger Games Collection and I am eagerly awaiting my China Glaze Bohemian Collection. That should be flying through the air as we speak, making its way to my nails. So plenty of pictures and all that good stuff on its way soon. I also want to make use of some of my bedazzles and jewels and fimo and all the shinies for my nails and I also have lots of stamping work to be accomplished and more one stroke painting.<br />
<br />
So there is stuff to do people and I should get some time soon. I hope you can have patience and just know that I'm loving summer and spending time with the kids and the hubster and just having fun in general. The kids have new bikes. We spent a few days with my husbands parents and we have lots of things planned for the rest of summer. Unfortunately no holiday this year, well we maybe get a few days camping in if possible, weather permitting. Don't want to jinks anything but the sun came out today and I am hoping it decides to stay. (please I will be a good girl Mr Sun, come on).<br />
<br />
So I hope you guys are having a wonderful summer and I promise I will try to get a post up really soon. I would love to hear from you about your summer plans. So comment or messages would be great. What are you wearing on your nails right now?<br />
<br />
Ok, that's it for me. Bye for now!<br />

So excited my China Glaze Magnetix II Collecion has arrived. I have been dying for these the second I had heard about their existence!! I really love the magnetic nail polish trend. Even though I have used them several times, I am still super amazed every time I see the pattern form. It's like a little piece of magic still exists in my life. I know it's quite sad really, but I'm like a big kid about these things. <br />
<br />
Now I know there are lots of brands that have come out with the magnetic polish but I have only purchased a couple of them. I have a couple of the Nails Inc ones. I have the original China Glaze Magnetix I Collection and the brand new <a href="http://transdesign.com/index2.asp" target="_blank">Magnetix II Collection.</a> The original collection contains more darker, stony colours. The new set contains a more broader range of colours including blue and green.<br />

I have spent the whole day today trying on these new polishes and comparing to the old magnetic set. It was my last day to myself with no kids at home as Josh has now finished school today, Dylan has one afternoon left at nursery and Becca finishes next Thursday. So I think spending the day putting on and taking off nail polish is a good day, for me any way. So there will be lots of pictures I hope that's not a problem. Here it goes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a tip always use a base coat, that is a given. Also you can do this with just one coat but if you require a stronger colour do just one coat and let set for at least 10 minutes. Then do another coat and use the magnet but try to not do too thick a coat as it won't work.</div>

to use two coats, then this will surely pop on your nails. </div>

Ring finger and index finger I used the chevron and the middle finger I used the star. I did this so you could get a good idea of each image while also seeing each polish's individual colour and effect! I found that some work better and some stand out more than other's but on the whole this is a good range.</span></div>

This Polish has a glitter and sheen effect and this caused it to be too heavy </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to want to move to the magnet. I liked the dark grey colour though </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but this only <span style="background-color: white;">showed a subtle pattern at best. I had tried a thicker coat, </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">a thinner coat, </span><span style="background-color: white;">t</span><span style="background-color: white;">wo coats and the results were just the same.</span></div>

This was a very thick polish, almost matt effect. A very dark maroon. But because of the consistancy the magnet just couldn't pull the polish resulting in a more subtle effect. And with it being such a dark colour I was hoping the effect would really pop on these nails so slightly dissapointed because I was eager for this one to work.</div>

As you can see a totally different effect. Loving the circles. </div>

I know that none of the polish has been perfectly applied to all my nails, I was just trying to get it on and off as soon as I could and get the pictures. So I hope in this I am forgiven. Under each nail and under each application I had on OPI Base Coat and had to wait each time for this to dry before moving on. Even though I have spent most of the day doing this it has been worth it. I have really enjoyed my day!!</div>

This has been a massive blog post for me tonight. I know its been picture over load but I just wanted to show you the new set compared to the older set and you can't really show that in just a picture of a bottle of nail polish. So I hope you have enjoyed my blog tonight and I'm sorry if it was too long for some of you. </div>

Had you heard of the Magnetix II collection, and are these pictures enough to tempt you? What do you think of this trend love it or hate it. Do you have other brands I should add to my collection? Let me know guys in the comments below or you can email if you like!</div>

So the weather here is just not letting up, the rain just keeps coming! It is so dark and grey and I'm still feeling pretty lousy since being poorly for the last couple of weeks. Well I thought I need something bright and cheery on my nails to get through these dark days. Now I am still trying to perfect the one stroke technique. I am not an expert but I like doing it and I feel I have improved since my first attempt so that's the main thing.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Then you want to work the paint into the brush for a few strokes to make sure </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is loaded on your brush. You want to dip one corner in white and the other in blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually use this pallet and just printer paper underneath to get the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint going and maybe just try out the stroke a couple of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
times before going on my nails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. You need to do each petal separately and use the brush in a up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and down movement 3 or 4 times and then rounding each petal</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
off.</div>

The third petal</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Now I know there is a gap but when you go back over it a second time it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
brings <span style="background-color: white;">it all together and also brings a more vibrant colour.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a circle <span style="background-color: white;">with a gap in the middle instead of having the petals in a row.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. You need to create the center petals in a slightly different way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You need to use <span style="background-color: white;">the brush to create an 'n' and a 'u' to create a circle. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You have to push down on the brush as you move it round rather than </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">wiggle </span><span style="background-color: white;">it up and down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a8FhjW4p4FA/UAV_y4WZXjI/AAAAAAAAAn0/LZocPn7IhiM/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a8FhjW4p4FA/UAV_y4WZXjI/AAAAAAAAAn0/LZocPn7IhiM/s400/023.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 'n'. (oops sorry it's blurred)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YeXUv4ZwzWo/UAWAEGuNaQI/AAAAAAAAAn8/7zwcW57qEK0/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YeXUv4ZwzWo/UAWAEGuNaQI/AAAAAAAAAn8/7zwcW57qEK0/s400/024.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 'u' This is the center petal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. Now you need to frame it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11. Now you could just leave it there if you wanted to but I like </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to embellish <span style="background-color: white;">it a bit more.</span></div>

Now I am not an expert and there are lots of ways to do the one stroke but this is just how I do it. When I feel more confident and posses a better camera I may do a video for you but for now these pictures will have to suffice. I hope for those of you that have never seen it done before I have explained it well enough for you. If you would like to see it in action just check out YouTube and type in One Stroke and there will be plenty of videos to show you more precisely. </div>

I am still really nervous about showing my nails so please bear that in mind if you wish to comment. I am still practising this art form. So I know that it isn't perfect so please be kind. I want to use this blog to also show my progress in all my attempts however I am open to suggestions. I will do more free hand painting on my nails as I go. However I want to make sure it is good enough to show you before I do.</div>

I am having one of nights where it doesn't make sense but that's kind of the point. I am just doing what I do having fun. This was not planned, you might say it was a happy accident because I think it looks kind of neat but just my opinion. I was just playing with my brushes and acrylic paint, practising 'one stroke' technique. Then I just went from doodling on paper to on my nails. And with the help of Bundle Monster it turned out quite good.<br />

I think the fact that they are so different from each other that somehow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it works together. I like the contrast and it's almost like they </div>

contradict each other!</div>

So it may be weird but I think kind of wonderful also. I really like the background under the stamping on both hands. However I am partial to purple and blues and of course those lovely butterflies. So for me my left hand is my favourite. But the the design on the right hand is still pretty awesome. I have really enjoyed playing with my nails tonight.</div>

<i>OMG how bad has that Kleancolor Metallic Pink stained my nails. They still have a shade of pink to them. I have cleaned them off with nail polish remover. I have also used a nail brush with some lemon and bicarbonate of soda. I have buffed my nails and it is still not coming off. I swear I used two coats of OPI Nail Envy before starting and it has still seeped through. If any of you have any tips on how to get rid of it please let me know. It is such a shame because I liked the colour but please go away now.</i></div>

What do you think of the colours and the designs? It is so distracting having two totally different nails on each hand but it's kind of cool also. I hope you have liked my nails tonight. Let me know what you think of them. Do you have contrasting hands on occasion, and do you get a good response when you are out and about?</div>

So I am still feeling really sick however I thought by doing my nails it would make me feel better. Plus I need to show you some more of the new Bundle Monster Images. Today I decided to use the big roses from plate 323 also in addition I used my new Kleancolor polish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I don't normally use a Top Coat before I do the stamping, I have never had a problem before until now that is. You know that I have told you that I will share the good the bad and the ugly, well here is definitely the ugly. I used Konad White Special polish then soaked my nails for a minute in cold water to prevent smudging like I always do. Then I used Konad clear polish and it went on ok and then bit by bit this pink started to spread on the white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qn3QHGKKSPE/T_iZrDWEolI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/J4Tyb_eTLDc/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qn3QHGKKSPE/T_iZrDWEolI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/J4Tyb_eTLDc/s400/003.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I thought that's ok I will just do it again. Which I did. I then waited a good hour before I put the top coat on over the pink. I performed the stamping action again. Soaked my nails again and then waited a little while to put the Konad Clear Top Coat on. Again it looked fine.</div>

The roses are gorgeous and they have transferred with ease. They are clean and crisp and perfect. They look so nice over the white. It doesn't show in the picture but the metallic polish has a sheen to it and obviously the white is a matt colour. So it has that contrast there which in turn makes the white much more vivid making it stand out a lot stronger. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Urgh!!! Irritated! Just as I am typing this blog I realise the pink has spread again only slightly but still annoying. I don't know what else I could have done other than maybe wait a full day with the pink before stamping. But other than that I felt the image it self was a good result. </div>

The Kleancolor polish is a really strong, vibrant colour. It is really pigmented that's why I only used one thin coat and that was enough. Maybe this is telling me that the metallic polish is not to be used in conjunction with stamping. I will do some more experimenting and I will let you know. It would be a shame because the metallic set has some really nice colours as well. Before I forget, I would definitely recommend soaking this polish off because it will stain your skin and your nails.</div>

I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the Bundle Monster Series 3 that I posted yesterday. I quickly tested the plates last night because I was eager to try them on my nails. I initially was going to use plate 302 but for some reason their is a fault with this plate. I just could not make it work. The polish kept streaking every time I scraped the image and then it either wouldn't show up on the stamp or very little. <br />
<br />
I will contact them to try and see what I can do about this so I will let you know when I hear from them. All the rest of the plates have been fine apart from 319 the jigsaw image, but some of the sticker got stuck on it when I was peeling it. I have cleaned it but it will still not work. I will clean it again later and try again so I will let you know how I get on.<br />
<br />
Plate 303 looked fun when I saw it initially. I really wanted to try that plate as soon as I could however I still had blue nail polish on and I thought will it work with blue. So I gave it a try and I think it does after all blue lipstick is a new fashion trend so why not?<br />
<br />
<br />
This was the base I already had on my nails from yesterday.<br />

What do you think of the blue lipstick trend, lush or yuck? The images came out really clear and crisp. All the other plates I tested the images are lovely and transfer really well it's such a shame I have a had a problem with two of the plates. I am going to give them both a good clean and try again. If I still don't have any joy I will contact Amazon or Bundle Monster and I will let you know how I get on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you received your plates yet? What's your verdict on them? Has anyone else had a problem plate, if so which one? I think blue lipstick image on my nails has turned out well but will definitely try again with a red or a pink soon. Let me know what you think of these nails and if there is a plate in particular you would like to see more of just leave a comment below, thanks!</div>

Obviously they are all very gorgeous. I am sorry for my reflection in the background, no way around that sorry! Have you received yours yet? Let me see your nail pictures if you have. Which ones are you excited to try, (all of them?!) I hope you liked these plates and me sharing them. I will post pictures of my attempts with these plates very soon.</div>

As you may have seen, I got quite a large collection of Klencolor nail polish bought for me just recently. So I wanted to start to make my way through them. I demonstrated The Chunky Holo Black and I thought I would start with one before that which is Chunky Holo Bluebell. On it's own it is quite a sheer colour so I thought for comparison purposes I would use it on every other nail and the alternate nail I would do a coat of China Glaze Electric Beat and then a coat of Chunky Holo Bluebell. So here goes:<br />
<br />
1. Base Coat OPI Nail Envy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGhGbmZ6FSs/T_QqaljUg1I/AAAAAAAAAZw/_NvgzT2qXrA/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGhGbmZ6FSs/T_QqaljUg1I/AAAAAAAAAZw/_NvgzT2qXrA/s400/001.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
2. Every other nail in Kleancolor Chunky Holo Bluebell 3 Coats.<br />
3. And the alternate nail in China Glaze Electric Beat 1 Coat<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sczmsr8kE0g/T_Qq1bwG0vI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/BaM6oYZsvB4/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sczmsr8kE0g/T_Qq1bwG0vI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/BaM6oYZsvB4/s320/005.JPG" width="238" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This picture is only showing one coat not the 3 mentioned, but it will end with that result.<br />
<br />
4. Then over Eectric Beat, I used 1 coat of Chunky Holo Bluebell<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qph5U8IsORU/T_QsQd9EvVI/AAAAAAAAAaI/XffwCLWRJTU/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qph5U8IsORU/T_QsQd9EvVI/AAAAAAAAAaI/XffwCLWRJTU/s400/010.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
5. I then decided that I would cover the white of my nail with the Electric Beat as in a French Manicure<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tgakvIK3qAQ/T_QtKhBGu6I/AAAAAAAAAaY/Y8tFclTFxao/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tgakvIK3qAQ/T_QtKhBGu6I/AAAAAAAAAaY/Y8tFclTFxao/s400/016.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
6. Then 1 more coat of Chunky Holo Bluebell over the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
7. Lastly China Glaze Fast Drying Top Coat </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DDDIunEGkFI/T_Qt85KF4xI/AAAAAAAAAak/kjrsO6eU92k/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DDDIunEGkFI/T_Qt85KF4xI/AAAAAAAAAak/kjrsO6eU92k/s400/020.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L2TM9fZ59xI/T_QuROxb2oI/AAAAAAAAAas/DCs7qqfmIsY/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L2TM9fZ59xI/T_QuROxb2oI/AAAAAAAAAas/DCs7qqfmIsY/s400/023.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For some reason whenever I do my nails, I always old my hand over my nose and look in the mirror to check on them. I don't know why I do it or even why I started doing it but it is now a habit I do everytime I do my nails. Weird, right!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pictures do not do this polish justice. They are so shiny and reflective. I love the holographic sparkles which makes a nice addition over Electric Beat, it also looks nice on it's own but a few coats are needed to draw out the colour some more. I love this type of polish and anything sparkly always catches my attention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If there are any other colours of the collection that I got that you would like to see just let me know and I will try and show you as soon as I am able to. I hope you enjoyed these colours, let me know what you think.</div>

Had a great time in London but we have all been exhausted since but such a good time!!!<br />
<br />
As I have shown you in my other posts I love all elements of nail art and am always keen to try the latest thing on the market. I have been holding back on trying the full nail sicker sheets for awhile. I've been curious about them for sure but had put at the bottom of my (in my head) to buy list. But in Boots the other day I stumbled upon:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0xp6_vnzkI/T_GjxXe7djI/AAAAAAAAAYg/zoouwNIO03Q/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0xp6_vnzkI/T_GjxXe7djI/AAAAAAAAAYg/zoouwNIO03Q/s400/005.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought they looked cute so decided to give them a whirl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The instructions are on the back of the packet, sounds simple enough,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First fail for me anyway is my nails are just too diddy for these stickers. As in the width of my nails are too thin for the sticker. But never mind I thought I will just cut it off later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to pull tight while smoothing it across your nail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t2qncrkTsHI/T_Gl5e475QI/AAAAAAAAAY8/F9ZfqR0jP_U/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t2qncrkTsHI/T_Gl5e475QI/AAAAAAAAAY8/F9ZfqR0jP_U/s400/008.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You then pinch the end together and file it off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second fail for me is my Thumb and Index Finger on both hands for some reason both crinkled as I was placing it on because again it wasn't a perfect match and you can't smooth it out again once its stuck.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see a bit crinkled!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again a bit crinkled!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think it is a fabulous idea and the designs are really cool. But if you have little fingers it puts you at a disadvantage. I also thought that the fact you can't readjust them once you have pressed them down also is a bad factor. However they only cost £6.99 you get 20 different varying sizes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For most people this will work and is a fun way to experiment. But for me this time anyway it didn't work out so great. Plus even though I have put on a top coat I can see those stickers crinkling and curling as soon as I start doing the dishes or other household jobs. I will keep you informed on that one and let you know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will purchase again and have another bash at them but if it didn't work that time I probably wouldn't try for a third time. What do you think of these stickers? Have you had more success than I have? Is there a better method than the one I used, if so let me know?</div>

First of all apologies. I started this blog thinking I've got some extra time on my hands and doing a blog will be a fun way to fill that gap. I must have become so aware that I had time to spare that suddenly I have now found myself very busy with lots of new activities. Which is fun for me but rather neglectful of my blog. I promise I am still really into my blog and will dedicate some time shortly.<br />
<br />
Having said that, I'm going to London this weekend! It's my son's 13th Birthday (Happy Birthday Mate!!!) And we are going there for a visit and to go to the Harry Potter tour. So excited yikes!!! Note to self: Must remember not my birthday so calm down, ha, ha!!<br />
<br />
I thought I would do some cute nails for London in the Great British theme. As we have just had the jubilee and the olympics are on their way and all that good stuff.<br />

Just want to let you know I am a very lucky girl. I have heard about the the brand Kleancolor for ages but didn't know where I could them from (the polish, I mean). Just recently I discovered them on Ebay even though I had sworn not to buy anything for awhile, I desperately wanted them. Anyway some puppy dog eyes later and my husband has got them for me. Yay so happy!!!<br />
<br />
Prepare for lots of pictures!!!<br />

Chunky Holo Black over Pro Salon Black</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am pleasantly surprised by all of these colours. There wasn't a bad one of the ones I picked. The Holos are perfect and am really happy about them but the Diamond and Metallic ones are all really nice and are really strong colours. There are lots that could be used just as top coats. I love that I have the option to try all these new things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We got these from ebay from the seller <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/54-KLEANCOLOR-Nail-Lacquer-polish-Pick-Your-54-Color-Joys-cosmetics-/230729031950?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b885a10e#ht_11851wt_1037" target="_blank">Joy's Cosmetics.</a> She is really good, they came really quick and she was very helpful and prompt over any enquiries we had. She has 232 colours and you can buy less than what I have here. I think she even has the option to buy just one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I'm so blue!! My nails have all had to be filed down. I told you a couple of weeks ago, that I had damaged my nails taking off China Glaze Prismatic. I'm not blaming the product because I love it, just the silly woman in too much of a rush to remove it (me!). I have had to wait to let the scratches and damage grow out before I could file down. The damage has still not all completely gone, so I will have shorter nails for the next few weeks. <br />

I don't think it has showed up clearly enough the damage still left on my nails. I have been giving my nails a little break the last few days to do some extra treatments so that when I grow them out they should be strong again!<br />
<br />
I thought I would do a free hand nail art. I am recreating again one of my lost nail pictures. My original nails were a bit longer than they are now so I wanted to know if it would work on shorter nails. And the blue to cheer me out of my blue mood!<br />

1. Base Coat Nail Envy<br />

3. Maybeline 650 Midnight Blue Forever Strong<br />

The more random and different on each nail adds to the effect. It doesn't have to be neat, the messy effect works well with this look.<br />
<br />
6. Add Rhinestones<br />

It really does create a nice effect on your nails, close up and further away. I got so many compliments last time I did it which was about a year ago. The image for them is down below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I retrieved these from my Facebook page and as you can see last time I used more Rhinestones and different types of flowers. My nails are a bit smaller than last time so I wanted to limit the Rhinestone to just my thumb and ring finger.</div>

The kids are off school at the moment and I've been so busy and been neglecting my little haven that is this blog!!! Hopefully should be back to normal soon. <br />
<br />
Anyway my brother has just got engaged and is having a party on Saturday ( Congratulations!!!) I've got my little dress now what to do about the nails, because these are the priorities, well for me anyway. My dress is beige with black lace and a criss, cross front.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nk5d-7urHzw/T8kjmh1XufI/AAAAAAAAARg/u8R7oYrZE1A/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nk5d-7urHzw/T8kjmh1XufI/AAAAAAAAARg/u8R7oYrZE1A/s400/009.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I thought I was going to do beige nails with a criss, cross lace Konad stamp. Unfortunately I have baby sized nails and I just couldn't make it look the way I wanted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/429151_325814144143599_1167283802_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/429151_325814144143599_1167283802_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using this lace but in a criss cross manner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, The lace theme I could get over but I still wanted to something in a criss cross sort of way. Then I remembered last year copying some nails that Tartofraises1 had done on YouTube. Totally different colours and her version is far superior. But my version didn't turn out too bad seen as though my nail art brush which I thought was lost was infact squashed under the bed oops, so it didn't want to cooperate!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a little note about Tartofraises1 or Cutenails (english version). If you haven't heard of her she is a French Nail artist who does YouTube Videos and also a blog. She encourages her viewers to try and emulate her work otherwise I would not have included it on my own blog. She has tons of videos and tutorials and seems to want to encourage you to try her designs. If you are looking for some inspiration maybe check her out some time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you like my version of this nail art and I will now have to invest in some more nail art brushes!!! Let me know what you think of this design or if there was some idea that you had that would have been more suitable. I appreciate any feedback given!</div>

I've not posted for a few days, the weather has been glorious here so I have been making the most of that time with the family, picnics, swimming and out in the fresh air. Soaking up that lovely vitamin D and enjoying the sunshine. I or the kids have run my little socks off so believe me I have earned my place in bed rather than just going at the appropriate time.<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to nails! In my last two posts I talked about my nail art collection and crackle nail polish. Looking back at this and reflecting on the sunshine I decided to do a combination of both these with lots of colour. So not only will the sunshine dazzle, hopefully so will my nails!!<br />
<br />
I used OPI Nail Envy as a base coat.<br />
<br />

Thumb: China Glaze Dance Baby plus Rose Crackle<br />
Mia Secrets Crackle<br />

You could just leave it there or add the extra dots and spangled stars if you want to.<br />

The rest of my Konad plates have now arrived so my Konad quest is finally complete yay, go me!!! 2 years I have been trying to get this collection together. I have lost count of how much it has cost me but it makes me happy just having something just for me. I thought I would feel sad now that I have them all. Not sad that I have them because it makes me happy to have this collection. But just a little sad that the hunt is over until I realised that there is a whole world of nail stamping that I didn't know about. I'm not in a rush to buy all the new plates that I have discovered just glad that my quest isn't over.<br />
<br />
I still haven't used all the plates that I have which is something I want to explore with this blog. I got all this from <a href="http://wowsocool.com./">Wowsocool.com.</a><br />

Last year, I became terribly addicted to Ebay. More specifically, buying nail art products from there. I have way more than I think I'll ever need but they are so shiny, sparkly and colourful that I couldn't resist. Here are some pictures for you if you are interested to see.<br />

I don't honestly know how I will get through this lot on just my nails! I started out just getting some rhinestones, then some spangled hearts and then before knew it I had all this collection. And honestly this was me being frugal only allowing myself to buy one thing a week. I so wanted to go crazy but bills and responsibilities come first. I do still see lots of stickers, stencils, water decals, etc, that I would love to own but will not allow myself anymore as this is quite enough. (for now at any rate, ha, ha!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There may be bigger collections out there but this is as far as I am going to take it for the moment. They do look so pretty on my nails and in my cabinet. I wanted to include this on my blog as a reminder to myself of what I have and to deter me from adding to this collection. I try not to look on ebay too much for nail art products now as I know I don't need anymore but its so hard to resist the latest things on there. I am so weak, ha, ha!!!</div>

I have been really curious about the new Glitter Crackle form China Glaze. I ordered the set a couple of weeks ago and forgot all about them. Today they arrived and it really made my day. I was really unsure about this, I mean how can Glitter crackle or shatter, and will it show up on your nails good enough to tell what it is you have done. But as you can tell they do shatter and they are really sparkly. Glam-More is like a Deep Magenta Pink and it really stands out against the Black. <br />

I love stamping and painting on my nails but my issue being a Mum of three is the waiting time to dry in between coats. Sometimes I just want to paint and go. This is where crackle/shatter polishes come in handy. They are really easy to do they usually dry matt and quite quick. So you can leave bear or a fast drying top coat and your good to go.</div>

So this is my collection. I would love to know what crackle or special effects polishes you are using. If you would like to see any of these polishes up close just let me know. For the most part these polishes were purchased from Amazon or Ebay.</div>
