I have long been wanting to own Chanel Malice. It’s a gorgeous deep wine red, with a sparkly undertone of shimmer. But I can’t find it anywhere. It was a limited edition that came out for Christmas 2012, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the lead up to Christmas at all. Of course, I […] Read more
I was a bit stumped for something for today’s FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge, which is all about birthdays or celebrations. I’d left it right to the last minute (it’s 7pm on Sunday night and I’ve just finished and photographed the manicure!) and I hadn’t really come up with anything prior to today. So I’ve gone […] Read more
These blue geometric glitter nails were inspired by a manicure I saw by Paulina of Paulina’s Passions. I saw it and thought I’d love to create something similar but using blue – but I don’t like my manicure half as much as I like hers. I think it’s probably because the glitter is more prominent on […] 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
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
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 have the whole Morgan Taylor The Great Ice-Scape collection to show you today. It comprises six polishes for Winter 2016. There are two blues, a nude, a mauve, a pink and a copper shimmer. They are such gorgeous colours. As ever, I have been surprised by a couple of Morgan Taylor polishes. The ones […] Read more
This lovely sparkly red is LENA Arab Girl (LE05). It’s such a festive colour. Sparkly red jelly polishes are perfect for a Christmas manicure. On the LENA website at the moment, it is reduced too, so it’s just £6.95. LENA nail polish is promoted as being breathable and water permeable. This is important to strict Muslims […] Read more
Morgan Taylor Oh, Para-chute! is the final polish from the Sweetheart Squadron Collection for autumn. It is described by Morgan Taylor as a sage green creme. It is a dusky, almost “dirty” green. I’m never keen on green nail polish, but I truly, truly love this one. I think it may even be my favourite […] Read more
