Birthday Nails (A Different Take)

Today is my Birthday. So naturally I did graveyard nails.

 

 I'm not the biggest fan of birthdays. Can you tell? But don't worry, I'll get over it eventually :P In other news, sorry I haven't been on here very often. The past few weeks have been super busy for me, but hopefully it will all be worth it! :D

Happy Birthday Freddie!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have been following this blog, for half a second, you'll know that I'm a bit of a Take That fan. If you have been following this blog, for 2 seconds, you'll know that even though I'm a huge Take That fan, my heart lies with Queen. They are in my humble opinion the one of the most innovative and creative bands to grace this earth. They are untouchable.

And Freddie Mercury was something special. Sadly as you all probably know(unless you live under a rock) Freddie passed away almost 25 years ago from complications from Aids. If I had a time machine one of the many things I would do is go back and see Queen live with Freddie. Anyways enough sadness, today is Freddie's birthday! So let's all have a drink for him!

This is actually a manicure I did back in November that I liked but I thought could have been done better. So with a better stamper and my MoYou Roxy Collection plate in 06 at hand I gave this mani another go!

 

Happy Birthday To MeeeeeEEeeeeee!

Over the past few years I have grown to hate birthdays. I always used to wonder why people stopped thinking getting older was awesome. It was amazing going from 8 to 9. I assumed it would be like that forever. Turns out it's not that way. Anyways I have never been one for proper birthday manicures(Cupcakes, divulging my age, that stuff). Even if I was a fan of them I don't think I would do them. So here are some nails that have nothing to do with my birthday!

So today my manicure is sort of Take That related(LEAVE ME ALONE! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I DO WHAT I WANT). It's actually Jason related, because as some of you may know he left Take That two days ago. And I'm all sorts of sad because he was my favourite member. Is this what 1996 feels like? Anyways this mani is a nod at his performance from Take That Presents The Circus Live. At one point he wears some dandy striped trousers while singing the song Wooden Boat. Part of the lyrics are:

We go from green to blue to gold to black.

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last. 

Oooooooo and here is the performance! I suggest you watch it for you own health!

Now off to go drinking! I'll never say no to a Friday Birthday!

A England - Lady of the Lake: Birthday Nails!

So as you know my birthday was last week.  I posted Doctor Who, Dalek Rave nails.  But those weren't the nails I was actually wearing on my birthday.  I just thought it would be a really neat thing to get to post on my birthday.

A England Lady of the Lake was the polish I was wearing on my actual birthday.  I really didn't feel like doing anything special like cupcakes, or just in general birthday related nail art.  I just wanted simple.  Lady of the Lake is a rich, dark purple with scattered holo.  This is another brand of polish that get's it right when it comes to holos.  But then again my favourite types of holos are the more subtle ones that stand alone as a colour as well.  I used 2 coats on most fingers and 3 on a few because they were patchy.

Overall I LOVE this colour(and all of their polishes).  NEED MORE!

If you would like a bottle(or multiple) you can get this on their website if you are in the UK or from online retailers such as Ninja Polish.  They retail for around $10USD.

It's my BIRTHDAY!!! Let's have a DALEK RAVE!!!

So I am officially old.  Time to set me adrift of an ice floe.  Also these aren't actually my birthday nails as much as I wish they were.  I did them last week when my camera was still working.  My nails aren't too special today.  Even though it is my birthday I wont be celebrating till this weekend.

In my head I imagine this is what Daleks would look like if they decided to stop being evil, and started going to raves instead.  I think the 50th anniversary episode should just end with all the doctors, companions and bad guys giving each other big hugs and then having a dance party.  It doesn't have to make sense.  Trust me when I say it will work.

For this piece of nail art magic I used these circular florescent studs from The Born Pretty Store.  The package in total has 350 pieces, and comes with both circular and square studs.  Both the square and circular studs come in 6 colours(Blue, purple, yellow, pink, orange, and green).  They were super easy to place on the nail.  I found they were easier then a silver or gold stud when it came to picking them up.  I don't know if it has to do with the coating(which btw is so much more vibrant in real life!)  These also glow under florescent lights,  but my camera pooped out before I could get the bulb.  At some point I will show you them being all glow-y.  For the lines I used striping tape and Color Club Harp On It.

If you would like some fabulous studs for fabulous nail art head on over to the Born Pretty Store website.  And don't forget to use our code EAL91 for a 10% discount!  Also remember shipping is free :D  You can buy something in honor of my birth!

Ps.  As you can see I have my camera back.  They fixed the part that covers the battery, but it feels slightly flimsy now.  I'm going to have to be extra careful with it.

It's My Birthday Today. That's What's Better Than 150 Posts.

So I was actually going to do some nail art today but due to ringing in my birthday with...vigorous activities I was too worn out by the time I got home.

So I did something you've all seen hundreds of times before.  Max Factor Fantasy fire over Barry M's Indigo.  I figured it's not crazy nail art but it's one of those combos you save for a some what special day.

I will probably do some nail art on Friday for when I have more birthday celebrations!
