The one thing I hate about putting my nails on Tumblr is that people steal your photo, blog it themselves, they end up with 27,720 notes (speaking from experience here) and you get nothing, not even a bit of recognition or a follower, or even a thanks!
Pictures always seem to put up the little bits that are wrong with my nails, before I take a picture I always think they look cute!ANYWAY!I PAINTED A GINGER CAT ON MY NAILS! love love love love these.
My Photography

Take a look at my photography work! :-)
I have recently done a project on teenage parents/pregnancy and worked on two videos, one for an animal adoption center and one on a family holiday. Would be great to get some supporters and followers like I have had for my nails!

I’m trying to paint my nails and along comes this little monster and sits on my lap, he always gets in the way! Love him loads! #crazycatlady ;) p.s: I don’t usually pout, but this was supposed to be for a snap chat! IF YOU’RE ALSO A CRAZY NAIL PAINTING CAT LOVER CHECK OUT MY PERSONAL BLOG! :) www.maysifsimpson.tumblr.com
when time is limited I always fall back on cute red with white spots .. can’t go wrong!  & i love using this camera which I’m doing today so thought I would use it in my photo too ;)
I did these nails so quickly just before I went to a wedding, but I thought they were quite cute anyway! I had planned to make the ring finger a pretty pattern but half an hour just isn’t enough!oh, and that’s my kitty in the background, i love him ;)
YouTube Link

I have made a YouTube account for any upcoming possible tutorials that I might do!

I have been asked about a million times for a tutorial for my purple galaxy print nails so here it is! I am working on movies in photography so fancied a little play around anyway! Hope you like it :-)

& If you don’t tell me why so I can make it better ;-)

(I think it’s a bit long buuuuut I love Ben Howard & this song is chilled so whatever!)

I actually done some new nails for once! They’re not that fav in the photo, I prefer them in real life .. is that weird!? Idk? Anyway, these are my roses, stripes, dots and ombre! 

lizbuzz: sorry new to this! your pink galaxy nails, how do you get the layers?

it’s hard to explain, but for my first ones i used a tutorial, like this one, but then change the colours! The voice of the video is quite annoying but you’ll get the gist of it ;) 

i love this!! cats and nails, what more could i possibly want! If you wanna know my true love for cats .. you should visit my personal blog ;)
Tried out the Saran Wrap nails like everyone suggested to go with my dress! I loved them! & added some black diamontes!

Thanks, x
I’ve had this mani for a few days now.. Both the base colours came out lovely, I used Barry M’s Strawberry Ice Cream (309) and Blue Moon (317). If I’m honest it was the hardest ombré I’ve ever done, but I was determined. The colours were very thin so  I needed lots of coats and had to paint the top part of the ombre and then blend it in afterwards, so this is very thick! If you’re willing to sit through coat upon coat of these colours then it’s definitely worth it as they come out nice. 
Got these goody’s through from Kelly, BCTC Nails, thank you so much! can feel a new mani coming on![sorry for not having posted recently, have had no inspiration and some bad news, hoping to start repainting again now!]
