After several months of secrecy, I can now reveal that I was lucky enough to be selected to take part in Picture Polish FEST 2015. In case you’re not aware of it, each year since 2011 Picture Polish has created a bit of a blog fest, with bloggers creating nail art or doing swatches with […] Read more
Emma of Em’s Little Corner asked whether I could show a comparison of piCture pOlish Blogger and W7 Multi Dazzle. When my bottle of Blogger arrived in the post, I also thought that they were quite similar and I’d already fished out my swatch wheel to compare them. But, polish lovers, you’ll absolutely need both […] Read more
This is one gorgeous glitter bomb. It only arrived a few hours ago, but I could not wait to use it. I opened the package, swatched the polish on a nail wheel, took a quick photo with my smartphone and then tweeted my delight. But then I kept looking at the bottle on my desk. […] Read more
I didn’t know where to start for the abstract theme for this week’s FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge. So I did what I always do when faced with something I’m not sure about … I Googled! I looked up abstract art and found a nice abstract painting to use as my inspiration. I was going to […] Read more
I love it when magazines give away polish as freebies. And this month (May issue) you get a free bottle of Ciate nail polish with Marie Claire magazine. There are two colours to choose from: Sand Dune, a shimmery gold colour; and Pocket Money, which is more difficult to describe. It looks like a pale […] Read more

Here’s some nail art I created using the Miami Nice Meebox, for March 2017. As I’m visiting Miami a little later in the year, I thought I’d try out an outlandish 80s Miami look. I’ve been obsessed with nail polish for coming up five years, yet there are three bottles of polish in this box […] Read more
These pink and aqua flowers are for the pink and aqua theme (a couple of weeks ago now – ooops) of the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. As ever, there’s a personal prompt that goes along with each colour theme, and mine was “on a nude base” – easy enough! I was going to […] Read more
These pink and silver zigzags were painted quite some time ago now, back when my nails were a bit shorter. I used a base of piCture pOlish Allure, which is a bright magenta pink with a scattered holo. My photos don’t show the beautiful holographic effect sadly. I teamed it with OPI This Gown Needs […] Read more
For this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge we’re supposed to do fishbraid or a non-glitter topper. So foils are a topper, right? Sort of. I think I’m stretching the theme here a bit! I don’t actually have any undies on beneath the foils; I simply applied them straight over my base coat. Thankfully, […] Read more
