Here’s a blue daisies stamping manicure using one of the new extra large plates from Bundle Monster. BM-XL05 is one of the extra large plates released by Bundle Monster in February of this year. They’re not new images, but are old ones – the most popular ones apparently – resized as XL images. That’s great […] Read more
This is a swatch of Nella Milano The Rubinator. It is an absolutely stunning, full-on red; a rich, tomato-red colour. I just love its name. In the words of Nella Milano, The Rubinator has been: “sent back through time to save humanity from dull colours and lifeless nails” It is slightly on the sheer side, […] Read more
I am wearing some awesome nails today. These are multi-coloured swirl pattern water decals, from Born Pretty Store. Aren’t they fab? Very funky indeed. I’ve placed the water decals over a cream base. They took longer than the recommended 10-20 seconds in soak to come off the backing card. It was more like 30-35 seconds […] Read more
This week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge prompts are 3 pastels and negative space. I’ve been wearing a gel base coat for a while to prevent staining, but it hasn’t quite been long enough for all the staining to grow out. So negative space is a big no no for me. Accordingly, I chose […] Read more
I’m just about back on track and posting on the correct day for the A2Z series challenge. We’re at W, for wild, and I’ve created some pink, purple and blue gradient zebra nails. Bright gradient zebra is a style I’ve seen quite a lot, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in these colours too, […] Read more
I have another swatch post today. This is Nella Milano Mulberry Wood. It’s a dark mauve, almost purple colour, leaning to red, making it a classic berry colour. Many people would see this as more of an autumn colour perhaps, but I think it’s elegant and classic enough to wear year-round. This is 2 coats. […] Read more
Chanel Coco Blue had been on my wishlist for ages. It was one of a collection of three blue polishes, the Les Jeans collection, which was released in September 2011 for Fashion’s Night Out. I bought Blue Boy from the collection about a year later. I’m not sure if the other two were still available […] Read more
I’m still behind in the A2Z series challenge, but I am catching up. For valuable, I’ve used Christian Louboutin Lova stamped with Chanel Kaleidoscope. These two polishes are amongst my most valuable. Christian Louboutin sells for £36 a bottle, and is the priciest polish I own. The polish I’ve stamped with is Chanel Kaleidoscope. This […] Read more
The two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are burgundy and/or needle drag. I’ve only just caught up on last week’s challenge, which I posted yesterday, and so I took the easy option and went with a plain-ish burgundy manicure. The colour is Barry M Crush, from the matte collection. I […] Read more
The two prompts for week 27 (over half way – woohoo!) in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are music and not worn enough. I’ve gone with music and done some purple and lilac music stamping. The base colour is Barry M Orchid. It’s one of the Silks collection and is supposed to be […] Read more
