I previously posted some nails using some of the Bundle Monster Mosaic Glass Sheer Tint gel polishes. And I’ve used them a different way today to create a pebble skittle manicure, using the leadlight technique. Starting with two coats of Gelish Black Shadow and a gel top coat, I then removed the sticky layer and […] Read more
Oops, I’m late again for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge … but only by a day. The prompts were navy and scales. I’ve combined them this week and have used Morgan Taylor Under The Stars, stamped with a mermaid scales design in silver. Morgan Taylor Under The Stars is a long time lemming […] Read more
In this post, I’m wearing Bundle Monster Sunset Walk, a neon pink gel polish – to which I’ve added some 3D crystal gems. My camera hates bright pink, but this gel polish is most certainly bright and neon – it’s a true “highlighter pen” pink, and is just perfect for summer. It glows really brightly […] Read more
Today’s swatch is of Nella Milano Crystal Coral. I typically think of coral – the colour – as being lighter and more pink than this. But I know that coral comes in all sorts of colours, including this deeper, more orange hue. This polish reminds me of the time when my sister bought some coral […] Read more
The two prompts this week for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are Saran wrap (cling film) and glitter. I am fairly short on time at the moment, so opted for a simple neon blue cling film manicure, using two China Glaze neons. I started with a base of China Glaze At Vase Value. […] Read more
This week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish is Lemon Sherbet, a bright, vibrant yellow. It comes from the Four Seasons collection, a collection of four shades to match the seasons, in green, yellow, orange and coral. It wasn’t streaky or patchy and was perfectly opaque in three thin coats – wonderful for a yellow! […] Read more
I’ve combined the two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge: pink and lilac, and roses, by creating a pink and lilac gradient, which I’ve then stamped some white roses onto. The gradient is made with two Nella Milano polishes: Pinkifield and Lady Lavender. They worked extremely well for gradienting, because they […] Read more
Today’s swatch is of Nella Milano Periwinkle Pucker. I didn’t know what colour periwinkle was for sure, so I looked it up, and it’s a bit more purple-leaning than this shade is. I’d describe this as a pale blue; perhaps a cornflower blue. This manicure is three coats, but it was fine after two. In […] Read more
Bundle Monster has just released some sheer tinted gel polishes, called Mosaic Glass Sheer Tints. They are like the OPI sheer tints, but in gel polish format. This stamped floral manicure uses three of them: Sunny Disposition (yellow), Apricot Beauty (orange) and Peony Blush (pink). I started with a base of white gel polish, then […] Read more
The two themes for this week’s (well, last week’s) 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are plaid and/or orange, red and green. I went for the colours and created a red, orange and green floral manicure. This is done with all Barry M polishes: Blood Orange (red), Satsuma (orange), Spring Green (green, obviously) and Cotton, […] Read more
