I haven’t had time in the past couple of weeks to do my nails with anything more than plain colours. I’ve been busy with work, and my husband also had gastric flu for five days, which meant I was nurse-maiding quite a bit. I also got it, but only for 24 hours, about which I’m […] Read more
The prompt for this month’s Polish Party is “splatter”. I do love doing splatter nails; they’re such fun to do – albeit very messy. I was already wearing a plain red manicure – Rimmel Double Decker Red – and thought it would be a good base for some black and white splatter. I used my […] Read more
The neon fad kind of passed me by until very recently. I had a few neon polishes, but hadn’t ever worn them. And then I saw a bight, highlighter yellow polish by Jess in Poundland and had to have a range of neon colours immediately! I bought a green, orange and pink in Claire’s Accessories, […] Read more
I was offered some items by MoYou Nails for review and chose a lilac stamping polish and a couple of plates. They also sent a stamper and scraper. I chose lilac as I already have white and black stamping polishes, so wanted to try out another colour. It stamped well for such a light colour […] Read more
I thought I’d have another go at a roses and polka dots combination, and was inspired by a manicure I saw on Pinterest (see below) to change my roses a little and have them grouped together. I love this combination of colours; it’s so bright and summery. The polka dot nails have 3 coats of […] Read more
A while ago, I got chatting with Emma from Em’s Little Corner and we decided to do a twin post based on the theme of tartan (plaid) nails. I did some blue tartan nails last year for a challenge and I wasn’t very happy that I didn’t manage to finish them, so this was a […] Read more
For today’s tropical prompt in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge I immediately thought of the ubiquitous Hawaiian floral print. I checked to see if Hawaii is in the tropics and happily discovered that it is (just). A little more research revealed that the flower that features is a Hawaiian Hibiscus. And after yet […] Read more
Today’s theme in the Never-ending Pile challenge is drugstore. I take that to mean polishes I can get from Boots or Superdrug, so: Barry M, Rimmel, Maybelline, L’Oréal, Revlon, MUA, Sinful Colors, NYC, 2True, etc. I chose L’Oréal, as I have tons of them, and I’ve gone for a design I’ve had in my mind […] Read more
It’s time for a random untried in the Never-ending Pile challenge. And I’ve used two for this one! My first untried is the purple: Rimmel Purple Reign. It’s a lovely shade of purple that has an almost imperceptible gold shimmer to it. You can only see it really close up and it doesn’t seem to […] Read more
For the second in the Never-ending Pile challenge prompts, it’s pastel. I seem to have done a lot of pastel nails recently, so couldn’t immediately come up with much inspiration. And it wasn’t helped by only having four or five pastel untrieds. I decided on a water marble, and after trying with some Ciaté polishes […] Read more
