I'm Kimi :) Your average eighteen year old residing in sunny UK who loves doing her nails after finally breaking the horrible habit of biting them.
I am by no means a professional, I'm strictly amateur, but I enjoy all the nail art I do :) I really do hope this blog is an inspiration to all you nail-biters out there - this is proof! The habit can indeed be broken :D

Black lace nails as requested by 37catsand-counting.
….I only just realised while I was photographing this that I forgot to complete the design, lol. Minus the accent nail, all the rest were meant to have the design shown on my pinky. Whoops! Goes to show just how much of a scatterbrain I can be.
Don’t forget to enter my nail polish giveaway here!

Hi there! Thanks for the compliment, it means a lot to me :) I don’t have many KCs (bought about 9 glitters when I was on holiday in the States) but I love them for layering. Kleancolor’s mostly known for their amazing yet cheap glitter polishes so I’d suggest trying out some of them, because they are quite unique!
Also, their ‘Chunky Holo’ range is quite popular, a variety of duochrome and multichrome glitters - can’t really go wrong with that!
I’ve never tried stamping myself but I’ve heard they’re also good polishes to use for stamping because of their opacity, so if that’s your thing try getting some nice bold colours to use for that!
Overall, I don’t really think you can go wrong with Kleancolors. And at their amazing price, I’d buy as many as I could! (If they were available in the UK, that is!) Hope that helps and good luck with your KC endeavor!

Hey there G! Sure, I love taking requests :) Those nails look like they’ve been stamped (unless I’m mistaken) but black lace nails are always a winner so I’ll get round to something similar tonight! & I definitely look forward to it! :D
a couple more water marble rings.
Retro ruffian.
Haven’t quite got the technique down for the ruffian so this is definitely something I’ll be practising in the future :)
