Hiya NaiLovelies!

I am sharing another stunning polish with you today.  This is the gorgeous Kablooey by Mentality Nail Polish, a stunning purple holographic polish in a blackened base.  I absolutely adore it!!!

'Tis The Season To Party!!!!

 Hiya NaiLovelies!!

Last night I finally got around to doing my manicure for the party season.  This post is not really a review it's more of a 'show and tell' because I used so many different products to achieve this look.

Tempest by Mentality Nail Polish

 

 Hiya NaiLovelies!

OMG, vampy shades are right up there amongst my ultimate favourites when it comes to nail polish and judging by this swatch, Tempest by Mentality Nail Polish is most definitely a front runner on that score - because of the deep colour and its fantastic true matte finish! 

Gumdrop by Mentality Nail Polish

Hiya NaiLovelies!

It's been a long time coming but I actually have my Mentality polishes in my pointy claws! I couldn't be happier!!!  I brought 8 colours in total and the first one I have swatched ready to show you is Gumdrop, a delicious jelly holo.

I've Got Me Some New Kitty Claws!

Hi NaiLovlies!

Last week I unfortunately suffered a couple of small corner breaks!  This was no biggie as I siezed the opportunity to change the shape of all of my nails to teeny tiny kitty claws!  This is a look I had thought about doing for a while so I jumped at the chance to give it a try.

Glam & Glits Ink Risque (#74)

Hello NaiLovelies!

I have a swatch of Glam & Glits Ink Risqué which must be one of the most gorgeous blue jelly soak off gel polishes I have seen!!

Indian Summer by Crows Toes

 Hiya NaiLovelies!

Today I have another gorgeous swatch of an indie polish to show you. This is the stunning Indian Summer by Crows Toes which I lucky enough to snap up a bottle of when it was released in mid-November 2013 on the Llarowe website.

Gelish Spicy Fortune

   

 
Hi NaiLovelies!

Today I have a swatch of an oldie but goodie. This is the delicious Spicy Fortune by Gelish and is from the 2012 collection Chinese Year of the Dragon.

Milquetoast by Crows Toes

Hiya NaiLovelies!

I have a fantastic indie polish to show you all today.  I am wearing the fabulous Milquetoast by Crows Toes.  I have had my eye on this one for a few months so was pleased as punch when Llarowe had a restock recently, I jumped at the chance to purchase this beauty.

Blue & White China Manicure

Hiya NaiLovelies

I absolutely love having this blank canvas to try and expand my creativity and practice some stamping!

OPI Gelcolor - My Vampire Is Buff

Hi NaiLovlies!

Today I have a swatch to show you of a colour which is well and truly outside of my comfort zone. I don’t think I have ever really worn a colour like this in all my years of polish wearing. My Vampire Is Buff is from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection which was released in spring 2013 and it is available in both regular and Gelcolor formulas.

Orion Nebula by Different Dimension

Hi NaiLovelies!

 Have I got a stunner to show you today! This is the gorgeous Orion Nebula by Different Dimension. It’s absolutely beautiful! I have been chomping at the bit to wear this one since it arrived a few weeks ago, more so after I swatched it on a swatch stick – woah it glided on like buttah!

Mocha Roses in Paris

Hiya NaiLovelies! 

So I have a bit of a confession to make…. I love skittlette nails and I also love a good old bit of tone on tone stamping, in fact I think tone on tone is my favourite kind of stamping!

Today I have a beautiful, feminine skittlette manicure to show you. On my index, middle fingers and thumbs I am wearing IBD Just Gel Road To Paris and on my ring and pinky fingers I am wearing IBD Just Gel Mocha Pink. I am wearing two coats of each.

Dog Day Dream by Hare Polish

Hiya NaiLovlies!

I am so excited to be sharing my first ever indie polish and boy is it a corker! I went straight for the big guns with this one – the beautiful and not to mention stunning Dog Day Dream by Hare Polish.

The Glitterazzi’s Viking Winter

Hiya NaiLovelies!

Today I have not one, two, or three but four firsts for you!

This is my FIRST manicure post on my new blog. Yaay! I am super excited to be starting out blogging and sharing my soak off gel and regular polish manicures with you.

Second, third and fourth (firsts) are as yet untried IBD colours which I have to show you, all on one pretty little skittlette manicure! I say these are untrieds as I haven’t used them on my nails until now - although I have used them on my mum and sister.

Ode To A Curious Creature………

Hiya NaiLovelies!

In recent months I have been bitten by the Indie polish bug. HARD!  In fact, I think there may be bite marks...

At the start of this year I knew and had heard very little about the fantastic world of indie nail polish. Skip forward a mere 6 months and I’d made my first purchase, the cult neon glitter called Clowning Around by Lush Lacquer. Fast forward another few short months and there I am going mental on the iPad ordering all and sundry from Etsy independent nail polish makers otherwise known in the nail world as ‘Indie’ polish. 

So Let's Get Started......

Hi There NaiLovelies!

Welcome to my blog....
Simply Into My NAILS

So, after over a year of having my page on Facebook, I have decided to dip my toe (or should that be fingernail?) into the world of Nail Blogging!

 As some of you may know, in the past year I have developed rather a penchant for collecting soak off gel polishes. I’m actually quite proud of my ever growing collection. I told myself I would stop at 100 so off gel polishes.  So being the cunning little polish addict that I am, when I realised I was nearing 100 bottles I quickly switched my focus to regular nail polish. Bingo! This way I can buy new polishes and nail stuff, without exceeding my self- imposed limit. Clever huh?! 

With the brands releasing new polishes which I simply adore and the fact that I already have more polish of the regular and soak off gel variety than I could ever use in my entire lifetime, I figured I should just go ahead and start blogging about the lovely polishes which magically find themselves proudly amongst my collection. Actually, there’s not much magic involved it’s more like me feverishly scrolling through page after page of nail blogs searching for swatches and then hitting up the likes of Etsy, Llarowe, Ninja Polish and eBay like a woman possessed - but hey ho- it sounded good so I’m going with it. 

I hope you enjoy the blog and reading more about the colours used in my manicures and of course, lots of additional photos!
