The theme in today’s FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge is fishtail. Now to some people, fishtail means a braided pattern, and to others it means a curved chevron French tip sort of design. I’ve gone with the latter (as it’s easier – ha ha), but I have done braided nails before. I started with a base […] Read more
For this week’s theme in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge I’ve done a turquoise and navy skittle. I’ve used two old Ciate polishes that came with their 2012 advent calendar: Headliner, which is turquoise, and Power Dressing, which is navy. I love both these colours.
