These multicoloured floral nails, reminiscent of “flower power”are for the festivals / hippie travels prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I wasn’t sure at first what direction to take with this prompt. Admittedly, I was born in the year the term “hippie” became widespread, the year of the Human Be-In and the […] Read more
I’m still three weeks behind with this challenge. These dragonfly nails are for the insects prompt from 15th July. As usual, I had grand plans starting out. I wanted to do a riverbank scene, with reeds, water and dragonflies. But as time slipped away and I needed to just get something – anything – on […] 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
These nautical nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. The theme this week is holidays or seaside or the beach and I’ve done a nautical take on the prompt. My husband hankers after a sailing holiday, and would love to sail around the Caribbean, but I prefer to keep that to the […] Read more
I’ve called this multi-coloured design “geometric Molten Metals” and it’s for the geometric prompt for the Twinsie Tuesday group. I’m still very late in posting my nails – these were not for Tuesday as in yesterday, but for Tuesday last week. I’ve used all four of the recently launched Molten Metals from Barry M. They […] Read more
I’m slowly catching up! These floral wedding nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group were due almost two weeks ago. I’m only just making it into the Inlinkz linkup! I didn’t really know what to do for the wedding theme. I have done a number of pale stamped lace manicures before that I […] Read more
The 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group is doing hot pink and my personal prompt was mosaic or stained glass, so I have some pink mosaic stripes. Not all the polishes I used are hot pink, but then when you’re doing mosaic, you need lots of different colours. My first attempt at mosaic nails began […] Read more
I’m nearly a week late with posting these green and blue mermaid nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. Last Friday’s theme was neon, and my own personal prompt was mermaid or scales. I traditionally think of neon colours as being the highlighter pen orange, pink and yellow. They’re bright and in your […] Read more
These pink floral nails are a simple entry for this week’s floral prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I am suffering with the postdrome of a migraine today and don’t have the brain power or focus to do anything special, so these nails from a few days ago will have to do. […] Read more
I’ve called this manicure a multicoloured paisley flow because it uses a stamping plate from Bundle Monster’s most recent collection, the Paisley Flow collection. Paisley Flow is a collection of ten square, buffet-style plates that carry on from where the Shangri-La collection left off. It has some brilliant open images, which are great for colouring […] Read more
