I’m finally catching up with posting some of my recent manicures. This is benecos French Lavender. French Lavender is from the benecos Spring Summer 2016 collection. It’s a gorgeous colour. It’s exactly the tone of colour I love. I adore lots of colours of nail polish (pretty much everything going, with the exception of most […] Read more
The prompt a little while ago (yes, I’m late again!) for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group was music. I stamped some musical notes onto a gradient to create these baby boomer music nails. The base is a French tips gradient of nude and white, to create “baby boomer” nails. Baby boomer nails were […] Read more
I’m late …. again! I really must try to ignore the real world demands and stay on top of the blogging! This Twinsie Tuesday manicure of multicoloured zigzags is inspired by fabric. I saw a pin on Pinterest (see below) with these colours on a pocket. I don’t know what the rest of the garment […] Read more
I’m nearly a week late with posting these green and blue mermaid nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. Last Friday’s theme was neon, and my own personal prompt was mermaid or scales. I traditionally think of neon colours as being the highlighter pen orange, pink and yellow. They’re bright and in your […] Read more
I have these silver and blue diagonal stripes for the Tuesday prompt of “inspired by your childhood” this week. If my nails look quite obscure and not particularly reminiscent of anything to do with childhood, it’s because they are inspired by my old school tie. My senior school was built in 1977, which was the […] Read more
These pink floral nails are a simple entry for this week’s floral prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I am suffering with the postdrome of a migraine today and don’t have the brain power or focus to do anything special, so these nails from a few days ago will have to do. […] Read more
Last Friday’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group theme was three shades of red/orange. My own personal prompt was leopard. The two worked OK together, so I was pleased, and the result is these orange and red gradient leopard nails. The gradient is made from a pale orange (Revlon Sorbet), a mid orange (Barry M […] Read more
I’ve called this manicure a multicoloured paisley flow because it uses a stamping plate from Bundle Monster’s most recent collection, the Paisley Flow collection. Paisley Flow is a collection of ten square, buffet-style plates that carry on from where the Shangri-La collection left off. It has some brilliant open images, which are great for colouring […] Read more
This week for Twinsie Tuesday we’re doing monochrome. I’ve done a monochrome prompt before, and went with a black and white theme, even though – strictly speaking – monochrome in general just means using one colour, and shades of it. I’ve gone with that meaning this time and have created some tone on tone magenta […] Read more
Today I have some ladybird nails for the animals theme of the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. Now, we have insects coming up in July as a prompt, so perhaps I should have saved these for that. But, I’ve left it to the last minute as ever – well, over the last minute; these […] Read more
