Something Fishy...
Hellooooooo!
It's almost Friday - woohoo! Bottle of wine is in the fridge ready... I'm currently watching The Wonder of Dogs, and awww they're so flipping cute! Dogs are literally the best thing ever. I'd happily replace all my family with dogs :D (I hope they're not reading this...).
Anyhoo, today I have some water decals from KKCenterHk to show you. Well, a water decal.
It comes as one whole sheet! You just need to cut out the bit you want, and then the usual soak in water for about 20 seconds, slide off and place on your nail.
I really like the design on these :) I used them over some white polish to make the colours pop. I just cut out rough rectangles and then removed all the excess with acetone (just like clean up when you've gotten a little messy with the polish), so you don't need to worry about cutting them out the right size and shape and all that.
A few little things that I had issue with. I think I have fairly small nails, and they're quite short here, but I needed to use more than half the sheet for one hand. This might not be a problem if you cut them out a little more closely to the width of your nail I suppose, or you could always use it for a few accent nails! My other concern was that the design on the sheet is different at the top and bottom, so even if you could cover all 10 nails you couldn't get both hands to match.
That being said, super quick and easy to apply, and a really bold pattern :) If you're wondering what's going on on my little finger nail btw, I applied my topcoat before the decal had dried, so be careful!
You can see these decals here. A sheet costs $2.82 (about £1.74) and you can get 10% off with the code polishedart. Happy shopping!

Monthly Round Up: September
Good evening all :) Over the past few months I've quite enjoyed reading posts like this on other people's blogs, so I thought I'd have a go at one myself! Let me know what you think :)
So September was a pretty hectic month for me outside of blogging, which I knew it would be, so I lined up all these rather lovely guest posters for you. They shared amazing manicures with you - there were a huge range of techniques, including freehand, DIY decals and the one-stroke technique, and they even wrote a few tutorials for you! Thank you again to everyone who was kind enough to write a post for me (and if anyone else would like to write one in future, just get in touch!).
I did have time to write a few posts of my own this month though. I had the opportunity to work with a couple of new brands - my fiance must have been so fed up with going to collect all the parcels I missed! I reviewed these four beautiful glitters from Femme Fatale, and had the chance to review these stunning glitters from BeautyUK, which I'm sure you'll all agree are really quite unique for a high street brand. Last but not least, I produced these fun animal manicures with stickers from Nailtopia!

October Sneak Peak: Next month I'm actually going to finally get round to doing the series of Then & Now posts that I've been claiming I'm going to do for months. Every Monday I'll recreate a manicure from days gone by, selected by your fine selves. Pop on over to the Facebook album to vote - just 'like' the nail art you'd like me to have another go at. And you can vote for as many as you like!
