These pink and silver zigzags were painted quite some time ago now, back when my nails were a bit shorter. I used a base of piCture pOlish Allure, which is a bright magenta pink with a scattered holo. My photos don’t show the beautiful holographic effect sadly. I teamed it with OPI This Gown Needs […] Read more
This is Chanel Sunrise Trip with studs for Twinsie Tuesday, the prompt for which is studs or embellishments this week. Sunrise Trip is a gorgeous colour. It is a jelly polish in a deep purple, almost indigo colour. It is the first “Nail Gloss” that Chanel has launched, and is distinct from their “Nail Colour” […] Read more
The themes for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are tweed and pale pink. I have done enough pink manicures recently, so I chose to do some grey tweed nails. To me, tweed is brown and smells of urine. (Yes, really! Google it!) But of course there are other types of tweed besides […] Read more
In this post, I’m wearing Bundle Monster Sunset Walk, a neon pink gel polish – to which I’ve added some 3D crystal gems. My camera hates bright pink, but this gel polish is most certainly bright and neon – it’s a true “highlighter pen” pink, and is just perfect for summer. It glows really brightly […] Read more
This gorgeous, bright (and neon) blue is Fringing Waters from Bundle Monster. I wore this gel polish on its own for a few days before adding some some Bundle Monster gold, triangular studs. I love the colour of this polish. When I first received the collection that this comes from – the Sands of Aruba […] Read more
This manicure is some stamped navy and silver roses, using Bundle Monster BM-XL07 and some silver tear-drop studs. The base for this is Barry M Drive Me Navy, one of the new Sunset polishes. These are like the CND Vinylux or the OPI Infinite Shine polishes. They are a hybrid of gel and traditional polish […] Read more
The two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are burgundy and/or needle drag. I’ve only just caught up on last week’s challenge, which I posted yesterday, and so I took the easy option and went with a plain-ish burgundy manicure. The colour is Barry M Crush, from the matte collection. I […] Read more
This week in the A2Z series challenge it’s K, and that means Kitchen Sink. A kitchen sink manicure is where you use “everything but the kitchen sink”. So it’s a bit like a skittlette, only all the nails are different, and you use a different technique for each one. Usually though, there is some sort […] Read more
I’ve not been very creative with this manicure. It’s for J is jewel in the A2Z series challenge and all I kept thinking of was sapphires. So I chose my most sapphire-like polish – Sephora Ka-Pow! – and added some rhinestones. The colour of Ka-Pow! is lovely – a deep blue with a lighter blue […] Read more
For D this week in the A2Z series challenge the prompt is dark. I was pushed for time, so I created a fairly plain manicure using George Deceit and some hexagonal silver studs. I bought Deceit along with three other polishes at the weekend. I was in an unfamiliar town, killing time while my son […] Read more
