I’m nearly a week late with posting these green and blue mermaid nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. Last Friday’s theme was neon, and my own personal prompt was mermaid or scales. I traditionally think of neon colours as being the highlighter pen orange, pink and yellow. They’re bright and in your […] Read more
I’m on time for Twinsie Tuesday this week, for the first time in a while! The prompt is inspired by jewellery. My silver swirls are inspired by some silver and abalone jewellery I saw. I didn’t want to faithfully recreate it; I just wanted to take a few aspects from it to create my manicure. […] 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
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this time around is grey and gold and I have some dark grey nails with gold lace half moon stamping. I don’t personally think grey and gold go brilliantly well together. Grey is a cold colour and gold is a warm one. Grey goes much better with silver I think. So […] Read more
OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips is a perfect pink. It’s so … pink! I’m fairly rubbish when it comes to describing colours. I try my best, but there are only so many ways you can say pink. This is apparently, according to the OPI website, a hot pink. It originally came out as part […] Read more
This is a swatch of OPI Muir Muir On The Wall, from the San Francisco collection of Autumn 2013. The final effect of this polish is of an auburn brown with bronze shimmer. In make-up though, it’s a copper/bronze shimmer in a sheer black base. It is supposed to be, according to OPI, a plum […] Read more
This is a swatch of OPI OPI … Eurso Euro. It comes from the Euro Centrale collection, from Spring 2013. It’s a deep blue. But it’s at the “about-to-become-purple” end of the blue spectrum. It’s not a dark blue like navy, but it has a rich, deep colour to it. It’s beautiful and I absolutely […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week is to create nails inspired by your favourite fictional character. I went from the ridiculous to the sublime, first trying (and failing) to create Danger Mouse nails, and then finally being inspired by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Hamlet to create these grey and gold stamping nails. I do love Danger Mouse. […] 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
