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
This is the third of the Graffiti Nails polishes that I was sent for review; Jet, a black cream. In terms of drying time, I had more success with this than with the other two Graffiti Nails polishes I’ve reviewed. It dried faster than the others did, although I’d say it has an average drying […] 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
Today, my second challenge of the year starts. This is the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge, another Crumpet’s Nail Tarts challenge. The idea is to use loved but rarely used polishes that are more than a year old. I’m definitely going to use polishes that I’ve had for a year or more, but I […] Read more
I was going to wear KBShimmer Snow Way on my nails for today. But I did a sudden last minute u-turn and went for sparkly rather than snowy. I can’t believe this is the first outing for Red Glitter. And I can’t believe how much I love it. My first red sparkly love was Essie […] Read more
Nail wraps were what first got me interested in doing my nails. I tried a few styles and loved the look on my nails, but found that they damaged my nails when I removed them. Not long afterwards, I became completely polish obsessed and I’ve never considered using nail wraps ever again. But when Incoco […] Read more
You may have noticed – or you may not – that I haven’t posted in a while. Well, it’s because I’ve been away on holiday to France for a fortnight. I had a fabulous time. We stayed in a converted barn in the Charente Maritime. It’s an area we’ve been to before, and love it. […] Read more
I did these nails for a little girl I see at my son’s cricket training most weeks. She’s fascinated by my nails – most people aren’t, so I am grateful for her interest – and she asked me to do something different for this week’s training, not just a plain colour. But, she wasn’t there […] Read more
I had seen a lovely manicure on Pinterest using colours similar to this and done as a cloud manicure. I was going to recreate it exactly, but changed a couple of things. Firstly, the original creator had used Essie Mint Candy Apple. I’ve overdone the mint a bit recently and wanted to try it with […] Read more
Texture on nails is the new black! It seems that UK brand, Ciaté, is pretty much always the innovator. They were first to bring out the caviar manicure and the velvet manicure. Although very soon online retailers were selling cheaper versions of both. And then – for those of us in the UK – MUA […] Read more
