Take Two Day 6: Animal~

Hello! 

Ahh it's 11.22 at night and I am only just remembering to post this, also I am falling sleep so I'm going to keep this short! I had no clue what to do on my nails for today, I just wasn't inspired all all, to do anything, really. And this is the first day I haven't had planned out before posting. So it was a pretty quick nail art too. I decided to go for the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, it's an animal, so it's not cheating! Is it? These aren't the best nails ever by hey-ho, whatcha gonna do?

So the thumb is meant to be the stripes and smile, the pinky is the stripes and eyes, and the other fingers are just random. What does glitter have to do with the Cheshire Cat? I dunno! Also, if anyone is wondering, my favourite Alice inspired film has to be the Tim Burton one (I love Tim Burton, he is an amazing inspiration!), but closely followed by the SyFy "Alice", which if you haven't seen it, I highly reccomend.

Goodnight, Amy xx

Take Two Day 5: Cartoon nails!

Hello!
So We're on to day five now, I'm pretty impressed with myself for actually getting this far....last year I got to day three. So today is 'inspired by a cartoon' and technically this could be seen as anime, I think.. As a child I spent loads of time watching Pokemon, back when cartoon network was free, as an adult I still play the Pokemon games, and so it was the obvious choice for today. I don't have a favourite Pokemon, but it the old games Charmander was always the first Pokemon I picked, fire Pokemon seem to be my favourite for starters. 

So we have three poke-balls, a Pikachu face and the pattern from a Togepi, these were fairly easy to do, didn't take too long. I think they're so cute, I tend to do the Poke-Balls quite often. The colours used were Barry M 'Matte White' and 'Yellow', Rimmel 'Double Decker bus', NO7 'Poolside Blue' and Maybelline 'Black Onyx'.

It's snowing here today so I feel all festive and awesome! I'm tempted to start a photography blog because it's a hobby of mine, but if you would like to see some of my pictures you can find them on Flickr here.

Have a great day, and be careful out on the roads and such if the weather is bad where you are!
Lots of love, Amy x

Take Two day Four: Floral nails~

Hello!
Again I'm back for Take Two! Today is floral nails, not something I do very often, because I'm not that girly really. I tried to do more autumnal colours for this, purely because i didn't fancy brights.

The colours used are Revlon 'Tuscan Sun' and 'Blue slate' along with Essie 'Orange it's obvious' and Models Own 'Hayleys comet'.

Hope you like! :D

Take Two Day Three: Your Country~

Hello again!
Day three, this is about as far as I got for the last 31 day challenge, but this time! This time I've already planned to day 5. I'm doing good! I really  liked the idea of this day but I had no idea what to do, I was going to base it solely on the North East, but then 'inspired by your location' is coming up soon. And so I decided to find famous landmarks in the UK and represent them on my nails!

Maybe you can tell what they are already but, from left to right, the London eye, Angel of the north, Tyne bridge, Stonehenge and on my thumb a badly drawn Big Ben. The collours I used were Marks and Spencer: Leaf and Maybelline: Black Onyx.

I'm now going to go and do christmassy nail art so I'll see all of you people later!
Goodbye!

Take Two Day Two: Flag nails~

Hello there!
It's take two of the 31 day nail art challenge at the theme was 'inspired by flag/ a flag' and I wanted to think a little outside of the box so I hope you all like it! Also I hit ten followers/friends/readers so thank you! I will do a giveaway sometime after Christmas, I don't have the funds right now!  Also you may notice from these photos that they were taken on a day where I must have forgotten how to use nail varnish remover. Stupid Amy. Stupid.

Of course I had to add in a sneaky England flag!

See what I mean about the remover? I was kind of inspired by when you walk into a theme park and they have all of the flags lined up outside, or like a fancy hotel or something. Hope you enjoy!

Love and hugs, Amy xx

Christmas time picture spam!

Hello guys!
I said earlier that I would do a 'day in the life of...' type thing. And so, this is what it is. All christmasy and festive, so beware! These pictures were all taken yesterday, today I've been working so that's not very entertaining!

Tomorrow started off with me and one of my best friends Rachel going to hand in our assignments, boring right, but it needed to be done! Then off to the Metro Centre we went. If you don't know the metro is a massive shopping Centre in Gateshead, I think it's the biggest in the UK, it was last year anyway. We headed to frankie and Bennies for lunch, Chicken Penne Romana, yes please! A while later we headed for Krispy Kreme, which is the first one in the North East of England, and oh my word,.butterscotch sundea, amaze-balls.

Rachel looking rather fetching!

 After Krispy Kreme it was time to meet my Mam and Sister back in town, we have a Christmas tradition where we buy baubles for the tree and see the Fenwicks Christmas window display, which is incredible! So I have a few photos here for you!

Me and the Mother!

Me and the sister!

Any there you have it, hope you all have a great day!

Love and hugs, Amy! xx

Take Two: Day One - Inspired by A band~

Hello again!
This is a quick post before I run to work, not sure if I'll be online later to post this! It's the start of the 31 day nail challenge take two! And also the beginning of the countdown to Christmas! Holy poop I'm excited!

The band I decided to be inspired by is "Set It Off", they're not very known, especially here in the UK, but they're incredible! Some songs are so relate-able, but they don't sound like they would be, unless you listen to the lyrics, rather than just the song as a whole. They're more of a pop-rock band but their recent album 'Cinematics' has a much darker feel, almost based around a horror circus feel with songs like freak show, swan song and Dream catcher. If you like My chemical romance, the 'old school' all time low and perhaps placebo/red hot chili peppers, they may be a band you like. They're brilliant, one of my favourite at the minute. And Cody and Maxx are just...hot. So away from the fangirling and into the nails!:

dream catcher, feather(?), writing, strange pattern!

"I am a circus freak,something to watch..."

And there we have it, my nails, along with the album, the grey on the album actually has words and phrases all over it, mainly their name and song titles from the album. As soon as I knew this was day one that this band was the one to be inspired by. Also, If you didn't notice, my thumb nail is the same pattern as my turtle nails here.

Have a great day guys! I am not going to attempt to walk down a hill without slipping on my butt. Darn Jack Frost! Also, if I'm online later I will do a 'day in the life' post, just for something different, there will be Christmas pictures and me and my sister looking rather freezing!

Love and internet hugs, Amy xx
