I’ve actually followed the proper rules for today’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. Up until now, I have been using untried polishes, despite the idea about the GOT Polish Challenge being that you showcase not-used-in-a-long-time polishes. So for today, I’ve chosen Rimmel Rapid Ruby as my base colour. It was one of the first […] Read more
It’s hearts in today’s Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge and I’m so pleased with what I’ve done. I’ve created some reverse gradient hearts. Firstly, I created a gradient on my nails, from white at the cuticles to dark pink at the tips using – from darkest to lightest – Barry M Pomegranate, NYC […] Read more
The theme for today in the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge is roses. I have mastered what I call “easy” roses, the ones that are done with a dotting tool. So I wanted to try out something a little different. I thought about doing some one-stroke art, but swiftly put that idea back […] Read more
It’s day 2 of the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge and the theme today is kisses. When I first started being interested in nails, I remember being struck by a lovely manicure with metallic pink and silver kisses on it. Of course, now that I want to refer to it, I can’t find […] Read more
I’m taking on the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. It’s all this week, so five days, culminating on Friday, which is Valentine’s Day. In the US, candy hearts seem to be actually heart shaped. In the UK we have Love Hearts, which are round and then have a raised heart shape and raised […] Read more
As we get closer to Valentine’s, it’s no surprise that this week’s theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge is hearts. I’m doing the Week Of Love Valentine’s challenge starting tomorrow too, so there are going to be lots of red, pink and lovey-dovey manicures coming up! The pink nails are three coats of Rimmel […] Read more
Today’s theme in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is about my least favourite colour: green. I don’t own very many green polishes, so I only had three oldies to choose from – and one of those could arguably be termed a blue. So with my limited choice, I decided to try a water […] Read more
I was a bit stumped for something for today’s FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge, which is all about birthdays or celebrations. I’d left it right to the last minute (it’s 7pm on Sunday night and I’ve just finished and photographed the manicure!) and I hadn’t really come up with anything prior to today. So I’ve gone […] Read more
I was going out for a meal with friends and was planning on wearing a red top, so I wanted some nails to match. I decided on a similar look to my blue and silver skittlette manicure that I did not long ago, but using red and gold instead. The red nails are two coats […] Read more
It’s dots today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. I was going to recreate my lovely dotted manicure that I did back last September and I pulled out some different colours to try out. But I couldn’t find a colour scheme that went well together at all. Then I spied some Ciaté polishes […] Read more
