This week’s theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge is sparkle. I thought about going all out with some blingy rhinestones, or some glitter, but ultimately I chose something a little more understated, but still with sparkle. I’ve put some blue and green star stickers over a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I […] Read more
I was only really just about getting into indie polishes when the Royal Mail started destroying incoming nail polish parcels. At that stage, I think I’d only ordered from abroad once or twice. That was some time ago now, and since then I’ve been ogling lots of gorgeous polishes that I want from the US, […] Read more
After all the challenges I’ve been doing, I wanted to do something that was just for me on my nails. And this skittlette – or (everything but the) kitchen sink manicure – fitted the bill just perfectly. I didn’t design these nails with New Year’s Eve in mind, but with the sparkle of the textured […] Read more
Now that the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge is over, I thought I’d do a roundup of my manicures. This is only my second challenge, and while fairly easy because it was only two manicures a week, I’m still pleased that I managed to keep up with it and posted on time for each […] Read more
So, on this last day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge we’re celebrating New Year’s Eve (a few days early!) I went with some multi-coloured blingy glitter over black. The base is W7 Black and the multi-coloured circle glitter is the very appropriately named Auld Lang Syne from Tara’s Talons. I chose Auld […] Read more
Back at the end of October, when I had my foot operated on to remove a cyst, I had to remove all my nail polish. When I had recovered a little, I was desperate to get some colour back on my nails. I chose an untried bright pink – to cheer me up. I haven’t […] Read more
I was going to wear KBShimmer Snow Way on my nails for today. But I did a sudden last minute u-turn and went for sparkly rather than snowy. I can’t believe this is the first outing for Red Glitter. And I can’t believe how much I love it. My first red sparkly love was Essie […] Read more
SpaRitual has launched a new, special edition collection of textured glitter polishes, called the Dance Collection. This is Cha Cha Cha, a gorgeous lilac colour, with an intense glittery sparkle. I adore it. I love how the rubberised handles of SpaRitual polishes help you to maintain an even stroke, but it’s not necessary with this […] Read more
Anticipating this day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge, I’ve been buying all sorts of nail charms and studs as I’ve come across them. But surprisingly in the end, I chose to go with some adornments that I’ve had for some while. I used silver holographic sequin discs that I got many months […] Read more
Today in the the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge, it’s all about doing some nail art with your oldest untried polish. I have four polishes that I bought on the same day – back in September 2012 – that are still unused. I bought them all in The Original Factory Shop. I thought they […] Read more
