Hi! How is everyone?
I've got a splatter mani tutorial for you today.
I'm a bit disappointed with how this turned out as it's the third time I've done a splatter mani and it's actually the worst one I've done!

The Toothbrush Method
Hiya, hope you are enjoying your weekend! This is just a fun design that will hopefully brighten up your week, if you try it yourself, seeing as it's Monday tomorrow (boo!)
This method of nail art isn't my creation (even though I wish it was!) I got it off The Nailasaurus, who has a fantastic blog, that you can visit by clicking here. If you know of her already, pat on the back for you!
If you haven't see this design already, or don't know where to find it, click on Tutorials along the top of her page and you will see the toothbrush method that she came up with. I really wanted to try it so here it is:

Leopard Print!
Hi! How is everyone?
Today I have some leopard print nails for you! This has always been my favourite animal print and I knew as soon as I had painted my nails with Barry M - Lychee that it would make the perfect base colour for it.
Lychee is part of Barry M's Gelly range and is a light nude colour. I needed two coats for full opacity. I used No. 17 - Fury, Barry M - Black and a small dotting tool to complete the design. 
What do you think of this design? Have you tried leopard nails before? If you want to see our other attempt at this design, click here!

Rimmel London Swatch!
Hello! We haven't done any proper swatches for you guys in ages!
So I thought I would do one on the only polish that I have from Rimmel London!
It's number 198 and its called Azure! This is a very unusual name, don't you think?! So I searched it's definition, and it's something that's dark blue, sometimes purple!
Here is a picture of the polish on my nails, so you can decide if it's purple colour!

Caviar With A Difference!
Happy Sunday!
So I was having a think of what I could do next for you guys and I was thinking over a couple of ideas, but then I went into Poundland again. I promise I'm not always in there, even though it might seem like that!
These caught my eye instantly!
"Caviar!" They are in small bottles which makes them so cute and the colours (I thought), were amazing!
So I had to do a design with them! Because there isn't a lot of these little beads in one particular colour, I knew I couldn't put them over all of my nails, like you usually would with this type of nail art, and even if I only covered two nails on each hand, I would have used all or most of the caviar up!
I then came up with this design:

One Direction Nail Art!
Hey people!
I went to see One Direction perform at the O2 arena yesterday and they were amazing! If you don't know who One Direction are...have you been living under a rock? They're basically the biggest boy band in the world at the moment and they sound awesome!
Anyway, on to the nail art:
I chose different designs to represent the five different boys in the band. The thumb represents Harry Styles and his love of cats. The mirror on my index finger is for Zayn Malik as he's the 'vain' one in the band.
For my middle finger I painted a spoon with a red cross for Liam Payne because of his phobia of spoons (weird I know but he's adorable).
The design on my ring finger is supposed to represent Louis Tomlinson's signature look - stripy t-shirt and red bottoms with suspenders.
Finally, the Irish flag on my little finger nail is for Niall Horan (the only Irish member of the otherwise British band).
They aren't as good as they could be as I rushed slightly and didn't leave the base colours to dry for long enough (oops) but I think they came out alright.
What do you think?

Glittery Blue!
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a nice Easter and more importantly, received and ate loads of chocolate?!
I have a nail polish for you, which I knew I wanted to try it straight away! I used Avon - Vintage Blue (which I used in this nail design!) It's a very light shade of blue, and in my opinion its very suited for spring and even summer and I think I will be wearing a lot more of it :-)
Here is what it looks like on its own:
