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
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
This week’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is all about blue; my favourite colour. Before I realised that there is a chevron prompt coming up, I’d already created some double chevron half moon nails! Never mind; I do like chevrons, so I’m happy to be doing them again soon. The pale blue is Revlon […] Read more
It’s stripes today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. There are prompts ahead in the challenge for a number of colours, so where I can, I want to try not to use those specified colours in the styles challenges. So I decided – at first – to go with a red, black and […] Read more
This week in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge we’re doing geometric nails. I saw a fabulous picture on Pinterest of a funky coat (image further down), and that became my inspiration for this manicure. After applying a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I used hole reinforcer stickers so I could […] Read more
A Happy New Year to you. Following on from my favourite nail polishes of 2013, here’s my favourite nail art from 2013. I tried to limit my list to 10 manicures, as before, but I just couldn’t manage. So, please excuse my self-indulgence while I detail my favourite 20 nail art looks from 2013. I’ve […] Read more
After all the challenges I’ve been doing, I wanted to do something that was just for me on my nails. And this skittlette – or (everything but the) kitchen sink manicure – fitted the bill just perfectly. I didn’t design these nails with New Year’s Eve in mind, but with the sparkle of the textured […] Read more
Now that the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge is over, I thought I’d do a roundup of my manicures. This is only my second challenge, and while fairly easy because it was only two manicures a week, I’m still pleased that I managed to keep up with it and posted on time for each […] Read more
So, on this last day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge we’re celebrating New Year’s Eve (a few days early!) I went with some multi-coloured blingy glitter over black. The base is W7 Black and the multi-coloured circle glitter is the very appropriately named Auld Lang Syne from Tara’s Talons. I chose Auld […] Read more
I was really stumped about what to do when it came to this toys prompt for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. Then, I was listening to Absolute Radio, and on Christian O’Connell’s breakfast show, he was saying he was having trouble getting his daughter a Furby Boom, as everywhere was sold out. I […] Read more
