I’ve joined in the Everything But The Kitchen Sink Saturday challenge once again, this time with a hearts manicure. Three of my nails have a base of OPI I Have A Herring Problem, which I was wearing yesterday; the other two have Nina Silver Slipper. I started by adding the silver hearts to my ring […] Read more
I didn’t manage to get around to doing a kitchen sink manicure last Saturday. So here’s it is now … a couple of days late. I was already wearing Chanel Blue Boy, and had added the leopard spots accent nail. But as I wasn’t entirely happy with the leopard nail, I went over the inside […] Read more
Some of my lovely Twitter friends are doing an Everything But The Kitchen Sink Manicure challenge. The challenge is fairly straightforward: on Saturdays in January you do your nails in an “everything but the kitchen sink” fashion. That basically means that you do a mismatched manicure where all (or nearly all) the nails are different. If you want to see […] Read more
After all my indecision yesterday about what to put on my nails for New Year, I ended up just doing very little yesterday except a plain black manicure using Calvin Klein Ebony Hates Chris-Black. It’s a most unusual name for a nail polish. I have no idea who “Chris” is, nor why “Ebony” hates him! It’s also the […] Read more
We’re going to friends tonight for drinks, then coming home for a nice meal (before probably dozing on the sofa to Hootenanny and then being woken by the fireworks at midnight!). And tomorrow we are out for a meal with some other friends. So I want to do some New Year’s nails, but I’m not […] Read more
I bought the fabulous Ciate advent calendar and have thoroughly enjoyed opening it every day in December. On a couple of occasions, my son has asked to open it for me – and we’ve both enjoyed seeing what is behind the door. I had hoped to wear each new one every day, but from a […] Read more
I can’t seem to get enough of glitter at the moment, but this manicure didn’t start off that way. I started with a base of Revlon Dreamer, which is a lovely pale cornflower blue. I was going to stamp over it with a darker teal, but I just couldn’t get the stamping right, even after […] Read more
It’s well and truly party season now. As I’m self-employed, there’s not much fun in taking myself to a restaurant for a Christmas do. But one of my clients always invites me to their Christmas lunch, and I’ve worked with them for nearly three years now, so feel like an employee anyway! Today’s the day […] Read more
My son absolutely loved Electrify when I first bought it around Halloween time and has been nagging me to use it ever since. I think it’s more suited to Christmas time and the accompanying party season though, and it finally got used today. Electrify is a mix of medium gold and red glitter, with some […] Read more
It’s my son’s birthday today, so I asked him what he thought I should put on my nails today. He said blue … dark blue. So I chose Nails Inc Motcomb Street, which is an inky midnight blue. It’s so dark, it almost looks black after a couple of coats. I haven’t tried this shade […] Read more
