SpaRitual has launched its new summer 2015 collection, called Gathering. It comprises six rich colours, including this one, Tend. Tend has an overall mustard-leaning gold colour. It has a yellowy-gold base and small gold flakies, which give a lovely shimmery finish. I tried painting this on its own at first, but it left some visible […] Read more
This gorgeous, bright (and neon) blue is Fringing Waters from Bundle Monster. I wore this gel polish on its own for a few days before adding some some Bundle Monster gold, triangular studs. I love the colour of this polish. When I first received the collection that this comes from – the Sands of Aruba […] Read more
I’ve gone for the bright and happy prompt for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge and have a stamped pink, orange and red gradient. The colours are certainly bright and happy, and the stamping image also seemed cheery to me. I created the gradient with Nella Milano polishes: Blushing Bloom (pink), Chilli Blaze […] Read more
I’m late with last week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. The prompts were lilac and teal or pastels. I was already wearing Bundle Monster Voodoo Lounge with some stamping. I removed the stamping and added some roses in lilac and teal. It’s not my favourite manicure ever. I did it quite quickly and the […] Read more
I have another swatch of a Nella Milano nail polish today. This is Blushing Bloom, a bright hot pink. It comes from the Bramble collection, a collection of three complementary, but quite different colours. It went on very easily, although was slightly more liquid than other Nella Milano polishes I’ve tried. It was perfect in […] Read more
I am wearing another Bundle Monster gel polish today. This is my favourite from the Sands of Aruba collection, a light purple (or dark lilac) called Voodoo Lounge. I painted three coats. I think I could have left it at two coats, but I could see a tiny bit of light coming through when I […] Read more
Welcome to the first of a new challenge, called the Wiki’d Nails challenge. This is a ten-week challenge, where we get our inspiration from a Wikipedia article. The first article this week is tattoos and I’ve done an orange and red Celtic pattern as a loose interpretation of a popular tattoo design. I’m not into […] Read more
It’s Nella Milano day today – meaning it’s Wednesday and there’s another Nella Milano polish on their website at half price for a week! Today, it’s a spicy orange called Chilli Blaze. This is a wonderful shade that really suits me. I do like orange anyway, but Chilli Blaze has something slightly intriguing about it. […] Read more
Today I have a review of Nail Geek Clear Skies, a cornflower blue colour from Makeup Revolution. It’s a really beautiful colour. I do love my blues, and this one is a great colour. I was surprised to find that I have little that comes close to it in my collection. It dried averagely quickly, […] Read more
The two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are taupe and paisley. For the first time since February, I’ve combined the two and done some taupe paisley stamped nails using Nails Inc Marylebone Mews. It’s not the most imaginative nail art you’ll see for the this prompt. I couldn’t get very […] Read more
