Mother's Day Flower nails

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mum's out there.I hope you are getting pampered and look after on this special day.

I have a Mother's Day nail mani today.
This is also for the Finger Food’s Theme Buffet Challenge/Mother's day!


Items I used.
  • Sinful Colors polish in Snow me white.
  • Saffron polish in Pearl Pink.
  • NYC top coat.
  • Black nail art pen.

I took the inspiration from my Daughter Kim's bedroom curtains.
Kim was the one who gave me the idea so I thought I would give it ago and do freehand painting these flowers onto nails!


I started off the mani with a white base coat to make the pink color pop more.then when dry I painted the Pink polish on each nail.
I carefully started to copy the flower pattern freehand onto each nail using the nail art pen in black.

I then applied the top coat and that is it :)



I really enjoyed doing this manicure and love the flower pattern.
Hope you liked them to.
Thanks for reading and if you haven't followed me yet I would love you to, and please check out the wonderful manis below!
Have a wonderful Day!

Animal print nails

Hey lovely friends how are we all? good I hope.

I have a mani to go with my new blog name logo! I was having a mess around trying different looks and I thought I would do the same pattern.



 Items I used are as follows...
  • Sally Hansen polish in Shocking nude.
  • Rimmel polish in Too cool to tango.
  • Filthy Gorgeous polish in Rosey Posey.
  • Catrice Million styles effect glitter top coat.
  • Black nail art pen.
  • INM out the door top coat.

I started with the Sally Hansen shocking nude on each nail 2 coats.
Then I dabbed a few random messy dots using the Rosey posey polish and I did the same using the Rimmel polish on the ring finger.
I outlined the spots using the nail art pen and applied the glitter topper over the ring finger and little finger. then once dry I applied the clear top coat.



This is a very simple design to do and I had fun doing this :)
Hope you liked my Animal print nails mani :)

Thanks for stopping by please follow my blog if you haven't already.

Hi Friends I have a special post for you. I not sure if you know or not but it is
International Women's Day, which celebrates women's rights across the globe, 

I joined in a nail art challenge #womendaynailchallenge hosted byAnita At StylethoseNails

I decided to use the symbol from this poster.


Here is the items I used with a list below.


  • NYC polish in Pinstripe White.

  • Disney nail art pens in Pink and Pearl cream.


I used a White base coat on the thumb and middle and little finger.
I then painted the first finger with the Rosey Posey polish.then I applied the Barry M silks to the ring finger.
When dry I then started with the thumb and used the Pink nail art pen to draw the symbol. I then made some heart shapes.
I then used the same nail art pen and did some swirls on the first finger and then used the Cream nail art pen and did some dots.
The middle finger I again used the Pink pen to do some dots to make a heart shape.then took the cream pen and did some dots along the nail tip.
The ring finger I copied the Gold bow from the Barry M polish bottle as I thought it looked pretty.so I draw the bow with the Gold pen.
The little finger I simply gave it 1 coat of Popping Candy.
I applied 1 coat over the thumb of the Barry M glitter topper then when all the nails was dry I applied my out the door top coat.
