I kind of missed the chrome nails fad. I was so busy at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 that I took a bit of a step back from blogging. In retrospect, it was a good move and it allowed me to have a bit of a break rather than burn out, […] Read more
I loved these dusky pink gel with glitter nails. I’ve been using quite a lot of gel polish recently, as I’ve not been having much time to paint nails every couple of days. I fancied something quite elegant, and took inspiration from this Celina Rydén manicure on Instagram. I used a gel polish by Y&S. I […] Read more
I wore another lovely Red Carpet Manicure gel polish a few weeks ago: Red Carpet Reddy. I love the Red Carpet Manicure gel polishes – they paint on beautifully and have lasted on me without any lifting or splitting. This particular polish came with the Pro Starter Kit, along with an LED lamp, base coat, top […] Read more
It’s been a while since I’ve done much nail art. My nails have only really had plain nail polish on them for a lot of the time over the past year or so, as I’ve been so busy with work and my volunteering commitments. So, this stamping marble using some neon brights from the Morgan […] Read more
This beauty is Morgan Taylor Best Face Forward. It’s from the Selfie collection, a collection of six fun, bright summer shades. Best Face Forward is alone in the collection as the only flakie polish. It’s a purple – that sometimes looks inky blue – with cyan blue and pinky-purple flakies in it. I couldn’t quite […] Read more
This gorgeous bright neon pink is Beach Queen from Red Carpet Manicure. This is my first time using Red Carpet Manicure and I loved the polish and everything about the system. Red Carpet Manicure was apparently the first to launch an at-home gel manicure system. Beach Queen is from the Fiji Fever collection, launched for […] Read more
This blue herringbone stamping manicure disappointed a little on camera. In the flesh, it was awesome, creating a stunning optical illusion effect of a 3D pattern. But I just couldn’t seem to capture how it looked on camera. It’s a real shame that I can’t demonstrate how good this looked, but if you have this […] Read more
Here’s some nail art I created using the Miami Nice Meebox, for March 2017. As I’m visiting Miami a little later in the year, I thought I’d try out an outlandish 80s Miami look. I’ve been obsessed with nail polish for coming up five years, yet there are three bottles of polish in this box […] Read more
Sorry for the long absence. I’ve been busy with work. And more recently, I’ve been off celebrating my (rather big) birthday. But I’m back with some polish from a relative newcomer: this is Roxanne Campbell Stormy Weather. Roxanne Campbell is a nail artist, known for her work with fashion designers and celebrities. She has recently […] Read more
I’m starting the New Year off gently with a soft colour – just in case any of you still have hangovers! This gel polish is Semilac Nude Beige Rose. It’s a really beautiful, delicate and feminine colour. I think Semilac are hedging their bets with name. They’ve included three different colours in it! In fact, […] Read more
