Pink “I Love You” Nails | Bundle Monster Mochi Stamping Station

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a quick post I made about the new Bundle Monster Mochi Stamping Station. I’ve now had a chance to try it out and have created my first manicure using it: some pink “I Love You” nails. First off, this stamper is huge. The stamping surface […] Read more

Purple Skittlette | Mix & Match | Twinsie Tuesday

The Twinsie Tuesday group is doing mix and match manicures today. I haven’t heard that term applied to a nails look before, so I am not entirely sure if I’ve got this right. To me, it sounds like it should be a bit of a skittlette: the match being the same or similar colours, and […] Read more

Harry Potter: Hogwarts’ Houses | Films | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

We’re doing films for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group, and I chose to use my new hēhē plates for a Harry Potter-inspired Hogwarts’ houses skittle manicure. Four of the hēhē plates are themed around the Hogwarts’ houses. I don’t know how accurately they represent the house flags and crests as used in the […] Read more

Dark Grey with Gold Lace Half Moon Stamping | Twinsie Tuesday

The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this time around is grey and gold and I have some dark grey nails with gold lace half moon stamping. I don’t personally think grey and gold go brilliantly well together. Grey is a cold colour and gold is a warm one. Grey goes much better with silver I think. So […] Read more

Purple Fishbraid | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

I got lucky with the prompt for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas this week. The theme is three colours of purple, and my personal prompt is fishbraid – which needs three colours. So purple fishbraid nails was an easy one to do. I used three Barry M polishes: Bright Purple, Plum and Lilac Foil. I’ve […] Read more

Shattered Glass Stamping | Twinsie Tuesday

For Twinsie Tuesday, we’re doing shattered glass nails. Now, I don’t have any cellophane, nor much desire to spend hours cutting it up and sticking it my nails – much as I like the effect of the finished look. So I cheated and stamped my shattered glass nails instead. The base is a polish I […] Read more

Dandelion Nails | Things That Fly | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

These dandelion nails are for the “things that fly” prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group I really wanted to have dragonflies on my nails, but could only find a solitary one on a Bundle Monster plate. So I thought I’d try to be a little different and go for a non-animal/insect flying […] Read more

Swear Words Manicure | Twinsie Tuesday

I have a swear words manicure for the Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week, the theme for which was words. I was initially going to play it safe and do some “normal” words, but I changed my mind once I received the MoYou London Lingo 01 plate, which has a load of wonderful British phrases on […] Read more

Blue Fan Brush Nails | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

I have some blue fan brush nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt for pale blue base. I started with a base of OPI Gelato On My Mind, from the Venice collection. It’s the perfect shade of pale blue. You can’t see much of it though with all the fan brush strokes I’ve […] Read more

Peach, Cream and Navy Dotted Half Moons | Twinsie Tuesday

The Twinsie Tuesday group is back with dotticures this week and I have created a peach, cream and navy dotted half moons manicure. The peach base is Nella Milano Peach Schnapps. Onto that I have added different sized dots using Orly In The Navy and Barry M Coconut. I was inspired by a pin on […] Read more
