IBD But First...

Hi NaiLovelies!

I seem to have a bit of an obsession with IBD gel polishes at the moment but truth be told, it is one of my all time favorite brands.  The soak off and wearability are excellent and the colour range means there is something for everyone and since the launch of the Nude Collection, there are now 8 gorgeous nude shades to choose from.

IBD Infinitely Curious

Hi NaiLovelies!

Bright colours always make me smile and none moreso than this stunning neon orange from IBD called Infinitely Curious.

Sparkling Rainbow ~ Magpie Summer Collection

Hi NaiLovelies!

Summer has been busy in the Simply Into My Nails Studio and the beautiful Summer Collection from Magpie Beauty have been very popular.

IBD Destination Colour Collection

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have a gorgeous collection of fantastic summer shades to show you from IBD.  This is the new Destination Colour Collection which were kindly sent to me.

I can't wait to show you my swatches of the 8 shades which form this years summer collection.

IBD Riviera Rendezvous & Dixie Summer Plate

Hi NaiLovelies!

Oh my goodness - it is sweltering here in the UK.  I'm not going to complain because I am a true sun-worshiper.  Long may it continue I say, and what better way to celebrate the sunshine than with another summery manicure.

Pink Lemonade

Hi NaiLovelies!

I thought I would try something different today and mix matte gel polish with ultra shiny holographic nail foils for this ultra bright manicure which certainly grabs attention in the sunshine and on a cloudy day - it almost burns my eyes it's so b-r-i-g-h-t!!!!

Pretty Pastels

Hi NaiLovelies!

I'm back again to show you another recent manicure.  It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago so I fancied something feminine to wear to see me ring in another year.

I am a lover of pink and a huge lover of skittlette manicures so I figured I would combine the two as I knew this mani was going to be on my nails for a while I figured it should be something I wouldn't grow tired of after ermmm a mere 30 minutes!

Chameleon Chrome

Hi NaiLovelies!

I've been super busy again but luckily I have still found time to make sure I do my own nails, even if I am about two or three manicures behind now on my blog!

This gorgeous chrome creation was a little something I threw together about a month ago and looking at it again now makes me want to have it right back on my nails....

OPI GelColor Fearlessly Alice....Chromed!

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have a real soft spot for blue polish, the brighter the better.  I have previously worn OPI Fearlessly Alice in regular polish but this zingy electric blue was calling my name - LOUDLY!!

Sometimes You Just Wanna Wear Coral...

Hi NaiLovelies!

After the past few weeks of pastels and nail art I felt the urge to wear something plain and simple.

OPI GelColor ~ That's Hula-rious!

Hi NaiLovelies!

I'm back again to share with you this beautiful minty green polish from OPI - That's Hula-rious.

Spring Blossom

Hi NaiLovelies!

I couldn't resist stamping the beautiful OPI GelColor Towel Me About It......

OPI GelColor ~ Towel Me About It

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have another fabulous spring/summer shade to share with you today.  This time it's yellow!  Not a colour I often wear but one I absolutely love when I do have it on my nails.

IBD ~ Gala-vant & Dixie Plate DP10

Hi NaiLovelies!

The bright weather continues here in the UK so I figured it's time to get the big guns out with a super neon gel polish.

LeChat Mood ~ Breathtaking

Hi NaiLovelies!

Wow, what an absolutely fabulous feeling it is to be writing this blog post in the UK sunshine.  It seems summer has come early (for a few days) and I for one am lapping up this surprise sunshine and what better opportunity to try out another LeChat Mood polish.  This time I chose one from the new collection a beautiful blush (warm) to periwinkle (cold) combination.

LeChat Mood Wicked Love & Dixie Plate DP10 Spring Plate

Hi NaiLovelies!

Finally (I think), I am back to share with you Look 3 of this mini series of manicures created working with the same Siberian Minx based accent nails.

IBD Sundance

Hi NaiLovelies!

I'm back with 'Look 2' of my previous manicure and this time I went for an ice-cream/sorbet shade called Sundance from one of my favourite brands, IBD Just Gel Polish.

IBD Chic To Chic & Pet'la Toro

Hi NaiLovelies!

This manicure almost brings me up to date as this is what I was wearing at the beginning of this week.  I have enlisted one of my all time favourite brands IBD Just Gel Polish as the removal time is truly remarkable!

Gel II Aloha Bay Bay

Hi NaiLovelies!

This is the manicure I created to wear last week.  I was undecided on green or blue so reached for Gel II Reaction thermal polish despite this range being a complete nightmare to remove.

Pastel Lava Nails

Hi NaiLovelies!

Lava nails is a manicure I have wanted to revisit ever since I created this bright version using IBD gel polishes.  

OPI Mad For Madness Sake

Hi NaiLovelies!

Today I'm sharing this delicious pink manicure which I teamed with a chameleon flakie feature nail.

OPI GelColor Shh...It's Top Secret!

Hi NaiLovelies!

So first up in my recap of recent manicures and this time I chose this medley of brown gel polishes.

Simply Catch Up

Hi NaiLovelies!

Although I have not posted any of my manicures on my blog since way back in December, I have actually been doing my nails fairly regularly despite going through a three week 'nail funk' where I didn't want to do my nails and wore a plain builder gel overlay for 3 whole weeks straight!

Luckily, I took pictures of all of my manicures so I've decided to pop a few pictures on my blog so I can always find a picture of these colours if I need it for future reference...
