I don’t really know how to describe this post. This design doesn’t have an obvious name. So it’s a black with gradient pigment stamping design using Bundle Monster Star Dust pigments! I’ve used these fantastic Star Dust Pigments to create the base of this design. These are sparkly, duochromatic pigments that come in small pots. […] Read more
This week in the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge we have a colour – teal – and we all have different pattern prompts. I think some people are duplicated on pattern as there are so many of us taking part, but there are still 43 unique patterns. My pattern is circles, so I have […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Pinky Ponk. What a fab name! I love it! It’s quite a difficult shade of pink to describe. It’s sort of salmon-leaning. I didn’t think I would like it, but I really love it. I think I’ve loved al the Nella Milano pinks. If I didn’t have […] Read more
This week’s Twinsie Tuesday prompt calls for us to recreate a manicure from another of the Twinsie Tuesday participants. I chose a pretty red, white and blue striped manicure. Before that, I had spent a fun hour or so scrolling through blogs and Instagram accounts to choose something to recreate. There was lots of very […] Read more
Yesterday I reviewed Modern Craftsman, and today I’m wearing another polish from the same collection, SpaRitual Eye For Detail. It is a pearlescent, shimmery pale gold colour. The official SpaRitual information describes it as a cream colour. But I think it has too much sparkle and glow to be considered a cream. It is definitely […] Read more
Today I’m wearing SpaRitual Modern Craftsman, which comes from the new Pause collection for autumn 2015. It is a lovely regal purple colour, with red micro glitters. This manicure was perfect in two coats, but definitely needs a top coat to smooth out the glitters. I used just one top coat and although it felt […] Read more
So, as hinted at earlier in the week, today is the start of a new challenge for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts. This one is 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. The very first prompt is all about hobbies, and I have some black and white checked nails, to represent chess. So, I’ll explain the challenge. It […] Read more
This week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish is Chestnut Road, a rich dark brown, with a slight hint towards red. It’s a classic conker (horse chestnut) colour and comes from the Winter Soirée collection, which is a collection of four red-based shades. I don’t know what it is about Nella Milano, nor how they […] Read more
This week’s Twinsie Tuesday prompt is vampy. To me, vampy is all about dark red, so I did a burgundy and red needle drag manicure. Working one nail at a time, I first painted on one thickish coat of L’Oréal Hypnotic Red. It’s a deep burgundy, almost black, shade and is the perfect vampy red. […] Read more
If you haven’t used gel polish yet, but you’re curious, I have a fabulous and very inexpensive way for you to try it out. Bundle Monster has teamed three classic gel polish colours with a mini torch-based (flashlight for the North Americans!) LED curing light. And all for what I think is a great value […] Read more
