I’m still behind in the A2Z series challenge, but I am catching up. For valuable, I’ve used Christian Louboutin Lova stamped with Chanel Kaleidoscope. These two polishes are amongst my most valuable. Christian Louboutin sells for £36 a bottle, and is the priciest polish I own. The polish I’ve stamped with is Chanel Kaleidoscope. This […] Read more
The two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are burgundy and/or needle drag. I’ve only just caught up on last week’s challenge, which I posted yesterday, and so I took the easy option and went with a plain-ish burgundy manicure. The colour is Barry M Crush, from the matte collection. I […] Read more
The two prompts for week 27 (over half way – woohoo!) in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are music and not worn enough. I’ve gone with music and done some purple and lilac music stamping. The base colour is Barry M Orchid. It’s one of the Silks collection and is supposed to be […] Read more
I’m a week behind in posting my A2Z series nails this time. But we went away rather spontaneously and spent a couple of nights staying in Wiltshire, and visiting Bath and Avebury. We had a lovely short break, which very much recharged my completely spent batteries. My son has been off school for the Easter […] Read more
I haven’t done a swatch post in a long time as I’ve been quite absorbed with nail art challenges. But I’ve worn some lovely polishes recently, so I am aiming to post as many of them as I can over the next few weeks. The first one is Nella Milano A Royal Affair. This is […] Read more
I’ve chosen just the pink and orange prompt for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. I wasn’t up to adding in the stained glass or mosaic element as well. I had the idea of doing a plain water marble that I’ve seen a lot of recently. It’s where you don’t drag anything through […] Read more
I’ve used some textured glitter for T is for textured in the A2Z series challenge this week. Both polishes are from the 2true Sequins collection and are Eva, which is the blue one, and Naomi, the purple one. I have one other nail polish from this 5-part collection; it’s the silver one, called Christy. I’ve […] Read more
I’m in a bit of a nail art funk at the moment. I am really busy with work and am doing my challenge manicures at the last minute all the time. Because of that, I am not devoting much creativity to the task and am subsequently finding that I’m not liking much of what I’m […] Read more
I didn’t mange to post on time yesterday for the A2Z series challenge, and I’m a day late. It’s S this time, for silver. Firstly I painted my nails using W7 Silver Suede. This was given to be by my friend Michelle. She’s just got into painting her nails and has fallen hard, already setting […] Read more
I’m a day late with this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge, but it was Mother’s Day in the UK yesterday, and I was busy being spoiled, so didn’t get time to post. Initially, I spent an age painting Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street as decals. But when I came to put them […] Read more
