It's that time of the month again! No, not THAT time, the time when I team up with bloggy buddy Cat from BGPolish to honor Harry Potter in nail art! This month we've chosen to give some love to the brightest witch of her age, Miss Hermione Granger.

Magical Mondays - Hermione!
Hey y'all!
It's that time of the month again! No, not THAT time, the time when I team up with bloggy buddy Cat from BGPolish to honor Harry Potter in nail art! This month we've chosen to give some love to the brightest witch of her age, Miss Hermione Granger.

Magical Mondays: Harry Potter
Hey y'all!
Happy Monday! Today I'm stepping outside of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge to bring you the first of a new collaboration series that I'm starting with Catriona of Belle Glamour. If you've been around a while, you'll have heard me mention Cat in the past - she is the first British blogger friend that I made after starting Fixin To Faff, and what began as a business arrangement has blossomed into a friendship that I truly cherish, as she provides me with almost daily giggles and regales me with stories of her wee Sophie. Among our other common interests is a love for all things Harry Potter, so we've decided to set aside the first Monday of every month to bring you two nail art looks centered around a common Harry Potter theme. Of course the only theme we could possibly choose to christen our new collaboration is the boy who lived himself, Harry.

Video Games: Embrace Your Geekness Challenge
Hey y'all!
Sometimes when you're so intently working a project, you don't quite see when you've reached the finish line. Such is the case with today's nail art, inspired by video games for the Embrace Your Geekness Challenge.

Fandoms Nail Art - Embrace Your Geekness Challenge
Hey y'all!
I'm participating in a mini nail art challenge this week and it's all leading up to Embrace Your Geekness Day on July 13. There are four prompts in this challenge, each focusing on a different aspect of "geek" culture. Today we celebrate fandoms, and I've created a skittles look that features five of my favorite fandoms!

Mani Monday: Purple Shinies!
Hey y'all!
I like to play on top of my swatches, because it seems like a waste of good polish otherwise. Yesterday I showed you the gorgeous shade-shifters from the Rimmel Metal Rush line, and this is the nail art I'm wearing on top of it today.

It's finally here! Doctor Who 50th Anniversary!
(Fair warning, this post is faffy AND pic heavy. You've been warned.)
Tonight's the night we geeks have been waiting for - the long-anticipated airing of "Day of the Doctor", the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who. I knew I had to create some nail art to mark the occasion.
Doctor Who has a pretty special meaning in this house. When hubby and I first started bonding online, what with him being British and me being an Anglophile, it was only natural that the subject of the good time-traveling doctor would arise. Hubby's doc is Tom Baker. Mine is David Tennant. Although I remember seeing the show on PBS as a kid; it was Colin Baker's era, and I remember looking at his ridiculous costume and the not-good monsters and thinking, "this is a little too weird" - even for a weird kid such as myself. It just didn't "take" back then.

Do You Know Who?
Hey y'all!
So, tomorrow is a pretty highly-anticipated day in geek culture - it's the 50th anniversary of the longest-running sci-fi show, Doctor Who. I've got a HUGE post tomorrow with some very special nail art to show you, commemorating the series, but today I wanted to show you what's on my OTHER hand, since I wanted a full mani but time and non-dominant-hand-art-skills prevented me from duplicating the look on both hands. Call it a cheater's mani, if you will. I don't care. I'll be wearing these nails all weekend, and then next week I'll get back into my holiday nail art challenge.
I'm also planning on doing an additional nail art challenge in December, courtesy of Crumpet's Nail Tarts, but more on that later.
This is really just intended to be a quick post without a lot of faffing, so here we go.
I mentioned a few posts back about the MJXII stamping plate I got while we were back in the States, and I've pulled that bad boy out again because it's got some great Doctor Who images on it. This design is a full nail image, and I've done a double-stamping to give the look some depth.

Texas Recap and Mani Parties!
Hey there guys and gals!
So I've had a very busy last two weeks. Hubby and I have been on vacation to visit my family and friends back home, and I may or may not have gone a little kooky picking up new polishes to add to my collection.
