This week’s swatch is of Nella Milano Scarlet Heat. It’s a classic red; slightly darker and a touch less orange than The Rubinator. It was good at two coats and they both dried speedily and to a great shine. I really rate Nella Milano polishes. I’ve been so impressed with them. They come in a […] Read more
The two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are three colours of red/orange or swirls. I combined the two for an orange and red gradient with swirls stamping. I can’t get enough of gradient stamping at the moment. I think it’s my favourite type of nail art. For the gradient, I […] Read more
This beautiful blue is Nella Milano Madame Pompadour. It is a medium, slightly dusky blue. Some people see it leaning more purple or violet, but it doesn’t look like that on me; it’s just blue. I had no idea after whom it was named, but having looked her up, I now know all about her. […] Read more
These gold and black houndstooth French tips feature SpaRitual Tend as the base and are stamped with an image from Born Pretty Store BP-L013. I hadn’t intended for them to have French tips at first, but you’ll read why I added them in just a bit. Tend is a mustard coloured polish, with small gold […] Read more
It’s stripes or pastel for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge so I have some yellow, black and white stripes and flowers nails. I started off trying to paint some black and white stripes over the yellow base, which is China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin. But it just wasn’t working and looked a mess. […] Read more
This navy paisley stamping manicure uses another plate from the Bundle Monster Around The World collection. This is a paisley image from Bundle Monster BM-XL154, Paisley Delhite, the India plate, stamped using Mundo De Uñas Blue Navy (3) onto a base of Nella Milano Grey Goose. The plate is a buffet-style plate, with lots of […] Read more
This week’s special offer Nella Milano polish is Evergreen. Aside from mint green and lime green, I don’t particularly like green on my nails. And I’m afraid the same goes for this mossy green too, so I won’t comment too much on the colour. I’m sure it will have its fans and I’ll leave it […] Read more
For the first time in a month, I’m actually on time with posting for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. I was tempted to do a splatter manicure, but I’ve gone just with the aqua theme and have done an aqua gradient that I’ve stamped with a floral image from Born Pretty Store plate […] Read more
Nella Milano Grey Goose is the colour of the week and the special offer polish on the Nella Milano website. It’s part of the Misty Morning collection, a collection of five white, black and grey polishes. It’s quite a light grey creme. It’s not a particularly summery shade, but with the British weather as it […] Read more
The two challenge prompts for last week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge were: red and pink, or skittles. I chose to create some pink, red and white mini dotted flowers. My design is entirely inspired (copied!) from one done by Nail That Design. I used all Nella Milano polishes for this design. The pink […] Read more
