I’m starting another challenge today. This one is the brainchild of Missy from Gnarly Nails, and is being run through her Glittah Pirates Facebook group. It’s the The Never-ending Pile challenge and the quest is to use up all those untried polishes we addicts hoard. As at today, I have 229 unworn polishes. That represents […] Read more
The theme for today in the FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge is “delicious”. I thought about it for a bit, and I just couldn’t get past the idea of cherries. Yes, I suppose cherries are delicious (unless you’re my ten-year old son), but it’s not the most obvious thing to paint for “delicious”. However, the thought […] Read more
I bought Revlon Cherries In The Snow for £2 in The Original Factory Shop. It’s one of my favourite places to stalk inexpensive polish. Despite its name (cherries are red, surely?), it’s a pink colour and it’s very sheer and runny. As with most Revlons, it could flood the cuticles if you’re not careful. I […] Read more
And so the second round of the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge gets underway, and the first theme is pastel. I have only a handful of old pastels and Revlon Lilac Pastelle seemed to jump out at me, calling to be used. Inspired by an image on Pinterest (see below), I created an accent […] Read more
Superdrug is celebrating 50 years of trading, and they’ve a few brands helping them to do that. I know there are some limited edition GOSH polishes, and Barry M has a limited edition polish also. It’s aptly called Superdrug Birthday (NPSDB) and is pink to reflect the brand’s colour. It has a mix of tiny, […] Read more
I was wearing Nails Inc Big Apple Red, which came as a freebie in December 2013’s Glamour magazine. And, as is usual for me with Nails Inc polishes, it had chipped. I was going to remove it, but instead decided to touch up the chips and add a glitter topper. This is Magic Goose Reindeer […] Read more
And so the FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge rolls onto part two. And we have some more themes to pick from. These were all suggested by members of the Facebook group (I was too slow and didn’t get round to posting any ideas). This week is actually either the end of the last set of challenges, […] Read more
I really love Chanel polishes. They’re very much a luxury at £18 each, but the formula is always perfect and anyway, I tend to receive them as gifts. Coup De Coeur is no exception. My husband bought it for me on my birthday back in February. We were staying away for a few days, and […] Read more
I’ve been wanting to do a stamping decal for a while now. I have used a similar method to more easily put a hand drawn image on my nails, which is how I did my Roobarb & Custard nails. But I’ve not done it with a stamp yet. I had been searching through my stamping […] Read more
For the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge this week, the theme is yellow or peach. I don’t have many of either polish, so it was fairly easy to choose one to use. I left this manicure very much to the last minute, without much idea of what I was going to do. I had […] Read more
