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
my take on the galaxy/space design. Shame the glitter doesn’t show up too much as this looks so much nicer irl!
Peacock Plumage
This design is one that I’ve wanted to do almost ever since I started nail art but never thought I’d get the technique down for it. For me though, the way it’s turned out, I’m proud as a peacock!
Fun jigsaw puzzle nails :)

Felt in the mood for something glitzy and random so here it is!

Kenyan inspired mani part 2 - Safari
From pinky to thumb: Thomson gazelle, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, leopard.
Say hello to the mysterious right hand - will probably not be showcasing another photo of it for some time!
Inspired by the vibrant, rich culture of the Maasai warriors in Kenya. I was there recently so just had to do a Kenyan-inspired mani!
No7 - So Simple
Barry M - Gold Foil
This was my first time trying out No7 nail polish. The formula was great, non-streaky and mostly opaque in three coats (except for my middle finger where you can unfortunately see some VNL!). What I love most about this brand is the brush. The tip is rounded and makes application extremely efficient. Definitely something I’m considering doing for the rest of my polishes - hopefully it won’t lead to a gooey polish-y mess!
summer inspired plaid nails.
Now, I’m not a huge fan of the monarchy myself but because there’s a Diamond Jubilee dress up theme going on at work over the long weekend I thought some jubilee themed fingertips would be appropriate.
Exams are all over so I am baaaaaaaackk!
Mockingjay. Katniss Everdeen.
The girl who was on fire.
