I’m on time for Twinsie Tuesday this week, for the first time in a while! The prompt is inspired by jewellery. My silver swirls are inspired by some silver and abalone jewellery I saw. I didn’t want to faithfully recreate it; I just wanted to take a few aspects from it to create my manicure. […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this time around is grey and gold and I have some dark grey nails with gold lace half moon stamping. I don’t personally think grey and gold go brilliantly well together. Grey is a cold colour and gold is a warm one. Grey goes much better with silver I think. So […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week is to create nails inspired by your favourite fictional character. I went from the ridiculous to the sublime, first trying (and failing) to create Danger Mouse nails, and then finally being inspired by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Hamlet to create these grey and gold stamping nails.

So, please excuse my self-indulgence while I detail my favourite 20 nail art looks from 2013. I’ve […] Read more
So, I’ve just completed my first ever challenge: the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. I am really pleased that I managed to keep up with it. I’m not really one for swatching my nails and then scheduling posts. I’ve always just posted what I’m currently wearing on my nails. So this was the first […] Read more
I really struggled with the prompt for Day 27 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. I just didn’t know what to do. I considered doing a nail with three patterns on it, then repeating that across all my nails, but I only had last night to do this manicure, and that wasn’t going […] Read more
