This navy blue with silver geometric stamping manicure for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge is a bit of a cop out. The two prompts are TV and free choice. TV sounded too hard for me. I could only think that I would be needing to freehand something intricate. So free choice was easier. […] Read more
The idea for this red and gold Chinese pattern manicure came to me quite randomly. I was wearing red – Nella Milano Scarlet Heat – and wanted to extend the manicure with some stamping. Thinking it would look good with gold stamping, I was reminded of the Bundle Monster Around The World “China” plate, Shanghai […] Read more
These pink and white stamped floral tips mean just one thing … yet more pink on the blog! I need to start getting into some autumnal and winter colours to neutralise the pinkness of my recent posts! I was already wearing Nella Milano Cheery Bon Bon and it was wearing well, so I decided to […] Read more
I’ve used one of the new Bundle Monster Shangri-La plates to create these pink with white floral stamping nails. I used Nella Milano Sweetie Darling for the base, then stamped in white using Bundle Monster BM-S107. The plate is called White Lotus and features swirls, floral images and paisley patterns.

I hadn’t intended for them to have French tips at first, but you’ll read why I added them in just a bit. Tend is a mustard coloured polish, with small gold […] Read more
It’s stripes or pastel for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge so I have some yellow, black and white stripes and flowers nails. I started off trying to paint some black and white stripes over the yellow base, which is China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin. But it just wasn’t working and looked a mess. […] Read more

The plate is a buffet-style plate, with lots of […] Read more
