I don’t wear pink very often as I don’t think it suits me. But I’m quite pleasantly surprised by this shade. Although it’s rather bright and in your face, I think that’s why I like it; bright colours suit my skin tone. This is Models Own Pink Blush. It’s a bright, almost neon, pink creme. […] Read more
This is Dreams, from the new(ish) brand Makeup Revolution, which launched online and exclusively in Superdrug stores this year. The Nail Geek range of 45 nail polishes launched last month and they cost just £1.49 each online at the moment. Plus, you can buy collections of five polishes for the price of just four. So […] Read more
For this week’s letter in the A to Z series challenge I’ve used two letter Ts, both by Sally Hansen: Thinking Of Blue, an inky, near navy blue, and The Sky’s The Limit, a bright mid blue. Rummaging around in my Helmer to find some studs or glequins to go on the dark blue I […] Read more
This is the second of some polishes I was sent for review by Graffiti Nails. Tuscany is a gorgeous shade of orange. I don’t have anything like this already. It’s on the yellow side of orange and has a burnt quality about it. I did a Google image search for “Tuscan orange” and the colours […] Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, I made it. I’ve posted every day for the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. Today’s final prompt calls for us to recreate someone else’s manicure or to do something freestyle. I tried a few different things out that I’d not done before, but they all failed, so in the […] Read more
This week in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge we’re doing geometric nails. I saw a fabulous picture on Pinterest of a funky coat (image further down), and that became my inspiration for this manicure. After applying a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I used hole reinforcer stickers so I could […] Read more
I had seen a lovely manicure on Pinterest using colours similar to this and done as a cloud manicure. I was going to recreate it exactly, but changed a couple of things. Firstly, the original creator had used Essie Mint Candy Apple. I’ve overdone the mint a bit recently and wanted to try it with […] Read more
I wanted to do some Easter nails, but I’m not particularly religious, nor did I want cutesy bunny nails. So instead I thought I’d try to recreate some mini eggs on my nails. We love Cadbury mini eggs in our house, so why not?! I was a bit flummoxed when I looked more closely at […] Read more

My husband hates this manicure, but I love it. He says the colours don’t go. Well, that was the idea really: to use contrasting colours in order to get a stand-out effect. But you can’t win them all. The pink half moons are Models Own Raspberry Crush, which was one of the freebie polishes I […] Read more
