I’m taking on the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. It’s all this week, so five days, culminating on Friday, which is Valentine’s Day. In the US, candy hearts seem to be actually heart shaped. In the UK we have Love Hearts, which are round and then have a raised heart shape and raised […] Read more
As we get closer to Valentine’s, it’s no surprise that this week’s theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge is hearts. I’m doing the Week Of Love Valentine’s challenge starting tomorrow too, so there are going to be lots of red, pink and lovey-dovey manicures coming up! The pink nails are three coats of Rimmel […] Read more
Today I have a new polish from SpaRitual‘s Spring 2014 collection, Explore. Uncharted is a bright cerise (SpaRitual describes it as a fuchsia) with a subtle blue shimmer and it’s just gorgeous. It’s bright and cheerful and perfect for chasing away the misery of winter and all the rain we’ve been having in the UK […] Read more
I have another Laquerdaisical polish on today. This is Purple Phase, a thermal, colour-changing polish that goes from blue/grey when warm to dark purple when cold. The formula was again quite thick, and tended to drag if you went over the same spot, so I had to ensure I did the manicure carefully. Some thinner […] Read more
Today’s theme in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is about my least favourite colour: green. I don’t own very many green polishes, so I only had three oldies to choose from – and one of those could arguably be termed a blue. So with my limited choice, I decided to try a water […] Read more
I have another Laquerdaisical polish on today. This is Load of Pollocks, a fab, multi-coloured glitter in a white base. I’m a sucker for these kinds of polishes. KBShimmer Oh Splat! is one of my favourites of all time. Seeing as the Royal Mail loves to destroy inbound polish parcels, this one from UK indie […] Read more
I was a bit stumped for something for today’s FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge, which is all about birthdays or celebrations. I’d left it right to the last minute (it’s 7pm on Sunday night and I’ve just finished and photographed the manicure!) and I hadn’t really come up with anything prior to today. So I’ve gone […] Read more
I was going out for a meal with friends and was planning on wearing a red top, so I wanted some nails to match. I decided on a similar look to my blue and silver skittlette manicure that I did not long ago, but using red and gold instead. The red nails are two coats […] Read more
It’s dots today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. I was going to recreate my lovely dotted manicure that I did back last September and I pulled out some different colours to try out. But I couldn’t find a colour scheme that went well together at all. Then I spied some Ciaté polishes […] Read more
I joined a group on Twitter who have a Polish Party once a month. We all do nail art to a theme and this time around we’re doing January Blues. I’ve done quite a lot of blue manicures recently – good thing it’s my favourite colour! I decided to be cheery about my “blues” and […] Read more
