I jazzed up my Barry M Raspberry manicure with some stamping. I used Cheeky plate CH5 and Barry M Foil Effects Gold, which always stamps beautifully. I’ve peaked a bit too soon with this look. I have a Christmas lunch to go to later this week, and this would have looked great for that, but I’m […] Read more
I nominated Sarah from Swishie Nails for a Liebster and she’s nominated me back. I posted my Liebster award answers a few days ago, so won’t do the full thing of nominating others and asking questions. But I will answer her questions. Here you go, Sarah … 1 – What was your dream job as […] Read more
A few days ago, Pantone announced what it deemed would be the colour of the year for 2013. The colour is Emerald (PANTONE® 17-5641 Emerald), which is a lively, radiant, lush green. Pantone says this vivid, verdant green is set to enhance our sense of well-being by inspiring insight, as well as promoting balance and harmony. […] Read more
I wasn’t planning on changing my lovely Christmas Blue manicure from yesterday. I had given it a couple of coats of the limited edition Christmas Glittter, also from Superdrug, and was going to photograph it today for adding to the website. But I didn’t count on the fact that it would make the underneath coats […] Read more
Oh my goodness! I am completely in love with this polish and have never used anything like it. It’s the limited edition polish from Barry M that’s currently available at Superdrug. You can either buy it for £3.99, or you can choose it (or another polish) for free when you spend £6 on Barry M […] Read more
Alyssia from Rose Tint My Nails has nominated me for a Liebster award. How lovely! Someone other than me is actually reading my blog! I don’t know who started this award. I searched quite extensively online to try to find out – but there was nothing “official” about it, not even a Wikipedia page. I […] Read more
If ever a polish was wrongly named, then it is this one. This is not lavender. It is pink. OK, so it errs on the more purpley side of pink (albeit the pictures don’t show that at all well – my nails look full on Barbie pink looking at the pics!), but lavender to me […] Read more
It’s my son’s birthday today, so I asked him what he thought I should put on my nails today. He said blue … dark blue. So I chose Nails Inc Motcomb Street, which is an inky midnight blue. It’s so dark, it almost looks black after a couple of coats. I haven’t tried this shade […] Read more
I can’t seem to leave a plain manicure alone. I loved how my nails looked from yesterday, but they needed a second coat and a top coat, and while I was there doing that I had a bit of a play. I’ve never tried a braided nail before (sometimes called a fishtail braid). Lucy’s Stash […] Read more
