Cabbie! (with some doodles)

Hi there guys! Hope everyone is happy today, as why not we all deserve to be :) Now from the title you may be thinking "Cabbie? What is that, taxi driver nail art?". That is where you're probably mistaken :P I have an obsession with the show Victorious (I'm a big kid, that is also literal), and Cabbie is the sole reason why I LOVE that show. The other couples hold no candles compared to Cabbie. Cabbie is Cat and Robbie, and yeah hopeless romantic here but they are SO CUTE. I can't cope. I don't think my nail art does them justice but it's not too bad it's quite cute.

The red cat with the glasses is the main focus point here. A cat cause of Cat, red cause of her hair and the glasses for Robbie's glasses. Pink and blue also seem to their colours, I could've done more Victorious stuff in this manicure but I was tired :( So I added some random doodles which I ended up quite liking. I put topcoat over the cat and that got messed up (clearly I'm doing something wrong) but I fixed it up, also I didn't like the cat in real life but in pictures it looks way better and I'll take it.

Pk105 looked brighter this time I had it on which is always good in my books. Bikini So Teeny was also showing it's shimmer! I did like the way the pinks and blues went together.

I wanted Cabbie together since the 4th episode of Victorious, "The Birthweek Song" when Robbie invites Cat to his grandmother's house. Clearly my favourite episode with them (ok there are a few) is "One Thousand Berry Balls", I cry tears of cuteness. The sad thing is Victorious got cancelled so Cabbie will never officially be together :'( That really was the only thing I cared about in the show, at least finish the season properly before cancelling it :'( I hate when TV programmes do that, end a show without a proper ending. But One Thousand Berry Balls will have to do :/

Thank you very much for reading about my (potentially creepy to you) Victorious obsession :P Have a great day!

Disco Bows

Hi there guys. The "story" continues, I still cannot look outside as the snow is actually blinding now. Well maybe not blinding, but it really hurt my eyes. There was my mother wearing sunglasses in the snow when we were going out. I don't know why these are "disco" bows, but they're cute.

I have been in the mood for bows, AND THEY ARE SO CUTE. But really, I need to paint more bows on cute animals and food (potentially). Colour combination is an important thing too, and I like it.
Pink: H&M - Check Me Out 
Yellow: Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream 
Blue: Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White (as a base for the yellow): Models Own - Snow White
The formula for Check Me Out (2 coats) and Blueberry Ice Cream (1 coat) were great, Lemon Ice Cream not so much but it's still a good yellow (3 coats).

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!! :)

Stripes, Spots and Bows

Hi there. I wanted to use Blue Moon as a base to some nail art, so that's what I did. I didn't really know where I was going, stripes, spots and bows I guess was my main thought. Didn't turn out how I would of liked it to though.

I think it looks clownish, the pink polka dots on blue doesn't look nice. I'm proud of my freehand stripes though, I don't have patience for tape and it never impresses me either. I like the bow on my left thumb but that's it. After finishing with the basic colours I went a bit crazy with the glitter, I wanted glitter. That's all I can say.
Blue: Barry M - Blue Moon with Models Own - Indian Ocean (which is super pretty!!!)
Pink: No7 - Me! Me! Me! with Barry M - Pink Iridescent 
Purple: Essie - Lilacism with China Glaze - Luxe and Lush
It's ok. I'm probably just too fussing though :P

31 Day Challenge - Day 25 - Inspired by fashion

I wanted to keep it simple for today's design, yet cute. I love these tuxedo nails, and it's pretty fool proof. Though I thought the black and white was a tad boring so I wanted to jazz it up.

Of course jazzing it up for me means hot pink bows and a sparkly black coat. I get excited easily. But they are just so sweet as well.

Colours used:

White: No7 - Snowflake
Hot Pink: No7 - Me! Me! Me!
Sparkly Black: Topshop - Gyspy Night
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black

At first I was annoyed that I bought a jelly white nail polish, as I wanted a creme. But now I can definitely see all the advantages of it. Well 4 coats for full opacity isn't one of them. But its goes on easily and probably won't get gloopy as fast as a creme. And now I can do jelly sandwiches to my hearts desire (but not like my failed one :P).

Equipment used:
Toothpicks

31 Day Challenge - Day 11 - Polka Dot Nails

I love polka dots, they are SO cute ^_^ and pretty much idiot proof (needs to be for someone like me). I could add polka dots to anything and it would turn out cute. I wanted to do a Minnie Mouse-esque polka dot design. I was going to do a French manicure, but I truly think my base coat has died. So I ran into an issue. I now use a different base coat; the problem is it isn’t a base coat, it’s a French manicure over colour thing so it’s super shimmery.

Basically I decided not to do a French manicure.

                                                              (I really like the thumb)

The white was extremely difficult to work with, it did that weird stringy thing and went a bit dry. Always happens with white nail polish but the Sally Hansen one did seem to be working well. I guess that changed today. I especially liked the thumbs, I did my left hand better as I think at that point I  “got in the swing of things” and it went better. I did glitter on the alternate fingers to jazz things up a bit. Although I do prefer it without the glitter. I got a bit overenthusiastic and that’s how the glitter happened.

Yay!!! My nails are at the perfect length!!! :D
