October's Polish Party: Halloween...

It's been a while since the Polish Party has been participated in! Don't know why they've been missed but loved making this simple manicure that's suitable for this months theme. You'll have probably guessed it by the look of the nails, it's Halloween themed. Time to dust off the old crackle polishes and give them a whirl in deep dark Halloween colours.

May's Polish Party: Splatter!

It's nearly the end of the month which means it's time for another Polish Party post, which is a brilliant thing to participate in! This month's theme is splatter which took more than one attempt at Addicted to Nails... to make. Creating splatter through using a straw was attempted however it never seem to come out very well - there was a lot of large dollops of nail polish. Therefore another design was created, first the base colour:

April's Polish Party: Inspiration from another Party Polish member!

It's getting better and better every time I do a Polish Party post as the weather is beautiful at the moment. Probably due to the fact it's getting nearer and nearer summer which I may be a tad excited for! April's theme is a manicure inspired by another Polish Party member meaning another excuse to look through all their lovely blogs for a manicure that would inspire me or I could recreate. My inspiration by Big Jig Nails! in the form of their March's Party Polish: Spring as it looked super cute and a really pretty simple design. Let's give it a go:

Not one for holding back, I chose colours that would contrast each other well so they'd stand out. They are 60 Straw-ready by Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry and 101 Snow me white by Sinful colors, these are both new editions to the already massive nail polish stash. Here's the base coat:

March's Polish Party: Spring!

It's that time of the month again for the Polish Party nail art challenge. The winning theme from the vote was spring which is a pretty wide area meaning loads of different designs. By pure accident, I've also managed to tie this challenge in with this weeks Golden Oldie Thursday challenge as well seeing as it's yellow/peach and that's the chosen base colour for this design:

February's Polish Party: Chevrons

Today is another little challenge from the Polish Party, which as you can probably tell from the title is Chevrons. I had a little bit of a moment when this was chosen seeing as I had to Google search it just to see what it is! I think it was just mind block... The nail polishes where chosen seeing as they had been teased about on instagram a while a go, so I thought I'd let you out of the misery!

It's Maybelline Colour Show, in the colours 215 Iced Queen and 214 Green With Envy which are pretty cool names for these colours. In my personal estimation this is a lovely collection and has brilliant bright colours in it - always good in my books. The reason being for purchasing these polish is due to other bloggers raving about reduced GOSH polishes in their local store, therefore I just HAD to pop into mine. There was no GOSH products reduced but there were some Maybelline Colour Show! Anyway onto the actual nails...

January’s Polish Party: January Blues

Today has been explore the lovely nail blogging community day which has been a delight and a pleasure seeing as there are many many brilliant bloggers. They've been showing off all their unique talents in different task and sadly I've seen yet another one which I want to be a part of.... It's called the Polish Party and all the participants post once a month to a particular theme - it's not too strenuous! This month's is January Blues seeing as we all get a little bit low this time of year. So here we go!

Seeing as it's under the theme of January Blues, every nail polish is going to be blue in this little post except from the top coat. Base colour is going to be Savage by Sinful Colors seeing as it's not light or dark so all of the colours on top will show up. It's going to be dotty spotty kind of like January rain which happens a lot. Base coat here we go....
