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
I have a brilliant combination on my nails today: the glorious Chanel Vibrato; which I’ve stamped with an abstract image from the Bundle Monster BM-XL155 plate, the Japan plate. Chanel Vibrato comes from this summer’s Blue Notes de Chanel collection (called Blue Rhythm in some other countries). There are two nail polishes in the collection: […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Moon Whisper. It is a very delicate, refined pale pink shade; perfect for French manicures and wedding nails. It’s very sheer. This took four coats and still isn’t opaque. Normally I’m not keen on visible nail line, but there’s something about this colour and its delicacy that […] Read more
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
