Morgan Taylor Perfect Landing | Sweetheart Squadron Collection

Here’s another polish from the Sweetheart Squadron collection. This is Morgan Taylor Perfect Landing. It’s a coral creme. It’s darker than Up In The Air-Heart, but has the same sort of tone. I think they’d look good gradiented together. This is another fabulous colour. It’s quite muted and understated for a coral, but I think […] Read more

Mardi Gras nails

I bet you wonder why I’m posting some Mardi Gras nails in December! We don’t even celebrate Mardi Gras in the UK. (Well, we have Pancake Day, but that’s about the closest we get). My son’s school holds a charity fundraising ball every year, and I’m on the committee that helps to organise it. This […] Read more

Morgan Taylor Looking For A Wingman | Sweetheart Squadron Collection

Morgan Taylor Looking For A Wingman is a burgundy creme. It’s another very pretty polish from the Sweetheart Squadron Collection for autumn. It’s not a classic maroon or mahogany burgundy. Instead, it leans to the pinker side of burgundy. This means it has a berry look … once again, a perfect autumn colour. This needed […] Read more

Morgan Taylor Rule The Runway | Sweetheart Squadron Collection

Morgan Taylor Rule The Runway is another polish from the Sweetheart Squadron collection for Autumn 2016. Of the six polishes, this is the third one that I have reviewed so far. And just like the others, it does not disappoint. Rule the Runway is a light grey that has a slight warm lavender tone to […] Read more

Morgan Taylor Up In The Air-Heart | Sweetheart Squadron Collection

Morgan Taylor Up In The Air-Heart is an absolutely beautiful shade and one of my new go-to favourites when I’m not sure what to put on my nails. It’s from the Sweetheart Squadron Collection for autumn. The six-polish collection is inspired by female aviators and includes some lovely shades. I even love the green one! […] Read more

Red, Yellow and Green Saran Wrap | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

This manicure is a red, yellow and green Saran wrap manicure for one of the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas themes. After far too many weeks out of the nail art loop, I have finally managed to jump back in. And this manicure is about four weeks late. In fact, the challenge is now over, and […] Read more

Orange Reciprocal Gradient Zigzags | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

Orange reciprocal gradient: this is my first ever reciprocal gradient. I don’t know why I haven’t done one before now. So, I’m glad therefore that it’s come up as my personal prompt for the orange theme in this week’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I added zigzags as the element to differentiate the two […] Read more

Dragonfly Nails | Insects | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

I’m still three weeks behind with this challenge. These dragonfly nails are for the insects prompt from 15th July. As usual, I had grand plans starting out. I wanted to do a riverbank scene, with reeds, water and dragonflies. But as time slipped away and I needed to just get something – anything – on […] Read more

Pink and Aqua Flowers | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

These pink and aqua flowers are for the pink and aqua theme (a couple of weeks ago now – ooops) of the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. As ever, there’s a personal prompt that goes along with each colour theme, and mine was “on a nude base” – easy enough! I was going to […] Read more
