Originally I wanted to include the cliche “bronze, silver, gold” metal combination, but Eoin recently bought a cabinet for all my nail stuff and I happen to still be searching for some things. R...

It’s not my fault I didn’t post this yesterday, honest! Stupid ridiculous wind speeds. Stupid internet service. etc etc :D I actually had to do this one twice for smudging. Grr and argh and such...

---

I will fill the rest of this in later. I just kind of promised myself I’d update this book every Friday and I’m a little behind :P Tada

---

Well… good thing I didn’t take the “Day” part of this seriously. This would have been an absolute world of fail! Sure it’s simple. It’s also… elegant? Like it looked way fancy. I honestly didn’...

---

There will always be random moments when I go and do something like this on my nails… because reasons! Just to throw some more random information on you; Raphael was my favourite as a kid and th...

---

Matte vs Metallic or… I still don’t really know how to work with yellow. As always, following this challenge. Next up is green, and I’m pretty excited about it :D

---

So… orange. Not really a colour I’ve worked with much outside of Hallowe’en. It isn’t a colour I wear, it’s not really a colour I use much at all… So yeah. Have some orange. Shame it’s blurry. W...

Admittedly this is supposed to be a 31 DAY challenge… but there’s just no way I have enough time to do nail art every day. Plus, I like enjoying what I do for a few days after the fact, so this i...

For the second year in a row I have decided to show the ladies some love with my fingertips! …sounds vulgar. Well… October IS Breast Cancer awareness month, and I can always use some sort of ide...

---

I think the only colour I have less of than yellow, is orange. I’m also pretty sure that it’s because I group yellow and gold in together in some instances… It’s not that I don’t like yellow, I ...

---

I finally tried braiding my nails. You need three colours to do this with, guess which ones I chose? Yeah, I'm getting into the "I Miss Hockey" stage of summer now. This was... more work than ...

---

So before this, I hadn't tried this 'technique' before. I did it with my niece... nice to have a design we can both work on :P Covered the area with a plastic table cloth and had at it with s...

---

This design is extremely lucky! I've actually only done St Patrick's Day themed nails once before, and quite a long time ago at that. So I may need practice, and I wouldn't mind practice specific...

---

I'm mildy annoyed that when I top coated this, my design smudged (which you can sadly see in this picture). Otherwise, pardon the pun but I believe I nailed this one :D I really like the vibra...

---

I adore a good gradient. It honestly makes me happy to see a good flow of colours blend into each other, so I'm further happy when I get to make that happen myself (less jealousy you know!) For ...

---

I went with the obvious this time: Valentines inspired nail art! For this design I tried a technique I haven't tried before: the striped gradient. It's more time consuming than I thought it woul...
