Festive Christmas Tree & Glitter Manicure

Hi NaiLovelies!

Christmas is coming and Tracey is getting fat - oops, I mean the goose is getting fat!

I've not had much spare time to prepare for Christmas this year because I have been very busy making sure my lovely clients have beautiful nails for their upcoming festive events.  One thing that is proving popular (apart from red nails!) is GLITTAAAHHH!!  Luckily, I invested in some awesome Magpie Glitters a few weeks ago and my clients can't get enough of them and nor can I.

LeChat Mood ~ Heart's Desire

 Hi NaiLovelies!

I have a beautiful LeChat Mood polish to share with you today.

Normally, I'm not really that fond of mood polishes but there is something about the ones in deep, richer tones that I can't seem to resist falling for.  LeChat Heart's Desire totally does it for me, just lookatit!!!

Magpie Glitter ~ Holly

Hi NaiLovelies!

It's almost Christmas and guess who has been playing in the glitter - well, it would be rude not to seeing as they are so freakin' purtty!!!

Autumnal Shades Manicure

Hi NaiLovelies!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching for my lovely friends in the USA, I thought now would be a great opportunity to create an autumnal manicure to celebrate the festivities.

A Day In Remembrance...

Lest we forget....

Magpie Glitter ~ Woodland Collection

Hi NaiLovelies!

I recently purchased my first Magpie Glitters back in October when I attended the Olympia Beauty show in London.  All it took was one manicure and I am hooked!  The quality and extensive range of colours is amazing!

OPI GelColor St Mark's The Spot with Lecente Spark

Hi NaiLovelies!

I am back with another colour from the OPI Venice collection.

At the time of writing this post I have a girlie night planned for the weekend  I almost wore a stunning red from the Starlight collection as red goes with everything and I haven't decided on what I am going to wear.

However, St. Mark's The Spot was calling my name as the colours blue and silver came up in a Facebook group challenge.....so I think I will just have to wait to wear that red some other time - but soon.

Simply Halloween'ish

Hi NaiLovelies!

I am not someone who is that into Halloween.  My mum succeeded in putting me right off these spooky festivities in my adult years and subsequently it is not something I celebrate anymore.

When I was a kid I loved trick or treating with my cousins and school friends - it was so much fun!!!

JORD Watch Manicure with OPI GelColor Tiramisu For Two

Magpie Glitter Genna ~ Holographic Manicure

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have a new post and a YouTube video to share with you today.  Last Monday I was lucky enough to attend the Olympia Beauty Show in London, so I took the opportunity to check out the Creative stand and feast my eyes on the gorgeous Magpie Glitters.  Whilst I was there I picked up a couple of colours to try and I must say, I am very impressed!

Cuccio Grape To See You

Hi NaiLovelies!

I'm back to show you my most recent manicure which I created to wear to Olympia Beauty which took place on the 5th October.  I really wanted to go for something pretty but also very wearable so I opted for bindis and gel polish as a perfect match....

OPI GelColor - Worth A Pretty Penne

Hi NaiLovelies!

Autumn is now upon us so I figured what better time to show you some fab polishes from the new OPI Venice Collection, in Gelcolor formula.

So without further ado, today I would like to show you the gorgeous Worth A Pretty Penne.

ILNP Fall 2015 Collection - Part 2

Hi NaiLovelies!

I'm back with my swatches of the second half of the gorgeous I Love Nail Polish Fall 2015 collection!  Just like the first set, I am totally blown away by these polishes and I can't wait to show them to you even if my internet connection has other ideas....

I received the entire ILNP Fall 2015 Collection from Barbra and this second part contains the remaining 9 polishes from the 17 piece ensemble.

ILNP Fall 2015 Collection

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have some seriously stunning polishes to show you today from the fantastic indie brand I Love Nail Polish!

This post is directly as a result of a very heart warming conversation which took place on a Facebook group called ILNP Lovers Anonymous which is a place where lovers of this indie brand of polishes hang out and share their swatches and news of ILNP releases and other nail polish related chit chat.  One very lovely lady raised the topic of polishes being swatched on a more diverse range of skintones. I participated in that conversation as it is a topic close to my heart, and I was completely stunned when the lovely Barbra of ILNP reached out to me to ask if I would like to swatch her new ILNP Fall 2015 Collection....

Errrmmm...., too bloody right I did!  I literally jumped at the chance to showcase her beautiful creations right here on my blog and I was totally surprised to receive the entire Fall 2015 Collection, which consists of a whopping 17 polishes in beautiful autumnal shades.

Lava Nail Gel Polish Manicure Featuring IBD Heedless To Say

Hi NaiLovelies.....I’m back after my relaxing summer break!

Since I have been away I have added to my already extensive collection of gel polish by investing in more IBD, OPI, Gelish and a few other brands of soak off gel polish.

As part of my love of all things polish, I am reaffirming my love of nail art and showcasing this with gel polish creating some beautiful manicures! I’m super excited to now have the training/qualification (I recently completed a fantastic OPI GelColor workshop) and the salon space available to bring to Simply Into My Nails manicures to my clients.

 I have recharged my batteries over the summer and now I am back to show you some new manicures.

A2Z Series - Y Is For 'You'

Hi NaiLovelies!

Oh how I wish I had more time on my hands at the moment to create these manicures and get them posted on time and not leave it to the last minute.  Well anyone who knows me will know that this is me all over!  So I guess it is fitting that this weeks penultimate manicure in the A2Z Challenge is 'YOU'.  We have now reached the letter Y with just one week to go until the end of the series.

Review: Morgan Taylor Neon Lights Collection

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have an exciting post to show you today.  Last year I was lucky enough to purchase the whole Morgan Taylor Neon Lights collection.

Before I move on to the swatches of these gorgeous neons, I just want to say that all of these polishes were applied over my soak off gel polish base which is TruGel Smoke & Mirrors, an opaque pastel yellow creme.
I can say however, that the Neon Lights collection of polishes have great coverage and do not require undies.  I am a huge fan of the #soakoffgelpolishcoverup so these are swatched as such and I jumped at the chance to show you them all seeing as the warmer months are fast approaching.

Hi NaiLovelies!

This week we have reached the letter ‘T’ in the alphabet and quite easily my favourite letter in the whole alphabet!  Well it has to be seeing as my name begins with ‘T’.   Unfortunately, that’s where the jubilation ends, I’m not gonna lie, I really wasn’t feeling this weeks prompt word ‘TEXTURE’.

Hi NaiLovelies!

A2Z Series - R Is For 'Redo, Reboot, Recycle, Recreate'

Hi NaiLovelies!

Week 'R' of the A2Z Challenge brings us the opportunity to 'REDO, REBOOT, RECYCLE, RESTYLE' a previous manicure.  This was a great chance to take something I'd created before and either change it up or just do it better than I had the first time around.....Not so sure I managed to fulfill the brief all that well.

Hi NaiLovelies!

Hi NaiLovelies!

Mini Manicures ~ AEngland Virgin Queen

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have a super quick manicure to show you today!  When I first started this manicure I didn't think I would be blogging about it, but wow, this polish is way too beautiful not to get a spot on the blog.....

Holographic Negative Space Lace

Hi NaiLovelies!

I was recently contacted by Born Pretty Store with an offer to review some products from their online store.

I jumped at the chance because I have had my eye on a couple of products, mainly the BP02 lace stamping plate which I first saw a few months ago.

How I Soak Off My Gel Polish Manicures

Happy New Year NaiLovelies!

I hope you all had a fantastic festive period over the past two weeks and that 2015 will be a great year for you.

As with the same period last year when I wore my OPI Gelcolor Wonderous Star party manicure for three weeks, I ended up doing the same again this year with my Colors By Llarowe The Mighty Red Baron party manicure.  As I was well overdue a soak off, I decided to make a video of the steps I follow for this my very first post of 2015....
