The prompt for this month’s Polish Party is “splatter”. I do love doing splatter nails; they’re such fun to do – albeit very messy. I was already wearing a plain red manicure – Rimmel Double Decker Red – and thought it would be a good base for some black and white splatter. I used my […] Read more
Today’s theme in the the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is purple; one of my favourite colours. I chose to do a splatter manicure with some purples over white. I started off using Ciate Cabaret, which comes from the 2012 advent calendar, and which is one of my favourite purples. Then I added Greige […] Read more
This is my first splatter manicure. And I can confirm that it was a lot of fun to create. I used Barry M Matte White and Essie Orange, It’s Obvious over the top of my previous Ciate Power Dressing manicure. After laying down lots of newspaper and taping up my nails, I dipped a straw […] 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
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

It started in September 2013, and I’ve missed the first four months’ themes (Autumn, Halloween, Disney and Black and […] Read more

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
Today in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge it’s art with the colour you own the most of. (Ooh, a terminal preposition. The pedant in me would shout “bad grammar”! I’ll let it pass 😉 ) I own more blues than anything else. At current count, 87 of my 393 polishes are blue. That’s […] Read more
