I have a new-to-me brand on my nails today: this is All That Jazz All Eyes On Me. All That Jazz is a brand that I have heard of, but didn’t own any before now. I have come across them at several of the Professional Beauty Shows, but just hadn’t tried them. If you’ve been […] Read more

They produce a range of quality manicure products, including nail files, scissors and cuticle nippers, all sold through retailer zamberg.com. The crystal nail files are obtained under patent from the Czech Republic – a country renowned […] Read more
I’m slowly catching up! These floral wedding nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group were due almost two weeks ago. I’m only just making it into the Inlinkz linkup! I didn’t really know what to do for the wedding theme. I have done a number of pale stamped lace manicures before that I […] Read more
I have some (rather belated) pastel and negative space curved chevrons nails for last week’s “negative space” prompt for Twinsie Tuesday. I’ve never much liked negative space manicures as my nails are so stained. They’re not too bad at the cuticle end, but by about half way down, they start to get very yellow. You […] Read more
For the glitter placement prompt for Twinsie Tuesday, I have some diamond glitter half moons, and a review of a new (to me) polish brand. I’ll start with the polish first. This pastel blue is Ice Ice, Baby! from benecos. There are eighteen colours to choose from, and 6 of those are new, as part […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt for this week (I’m late again – sorry to the other ladies) is your favourite colour. My favourite colour is blue, so I’ve created some metallic blue wavy lines stamped nails. The blue is Ciaté Birthday Blue. It is gorgeous and I adore it. It is perfect. It has such a […] Read more
We are all doing turquoise or aqua nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. My own theme is fluid lines, so I have some turquoise and aqua wavy stripes. I started with a base of the glitter polish. This is an Accessorize polish, Forever Emerald. There is something amiss in the Accessorize naming […] Read more
This week for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group, we’re posting New Year nails. I have some party nails, done with a black and silver laser pattern. They are inspired by the nails that first got me interested in nail polish, back in 2011. I was going to a 40th birthday party that had […] Read more
This beautiful blue is Nella Milano Madame Pompadour. It is a medium, slightly dusky blue. Some people see it leaning more purple or violet, but it doesn’t look like that on me; it’s just blue. I had no idea after whom it was named, but having looked her up, I now know all about her. […] Read more
I have another Nella Milano swatch today. This is Sizzling Sienna. I find it quite difficult to describe the shade of this nail polish. It’s a browny-pink sort of colour. It’s a bit like the colour that plasticine was (maybe still is, I have no idea), only a bit more pink. It’s definitely evocative of […] Read more
