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
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
These pink and lilac Ikat design nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I’m very late in posting these. Firstly, I put off painting them as I had never done an Ikat print before; and secondly, my son has been pretty ill most of the weekend, meaning my nurse-maiding duties had to […] Read more
For the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group, the theme is children’s TV. I’m honouring Great Uncle Bulgaria from The Wombles with these green, blue and white tartan nails. Orinoco was my favourite Womble really, but he just wears a big, floppy hat and a red scarf. Great Uncle Bulgaria, on the other hand, has […] Read more
These violet tweed nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. The theme is violet, and my personal prompt is houndstooth or tweed or plaid. There has been some discussion in our Facebook group about what shade of purple violet actually is. For myself, to be sure I was getting the right colour, […] Read more

I don’t understand the pun behind this polish name at all. I looked up muffuletta, because I had no idea what […] Read more
For the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group the theme this time around is three shades of green, and linked with my own personal prompt of half and half, I have these green half and half nails. I’m really not a great lover of green. I own a fair few, but I don’t wear them […] Read more
I am way behind on posting at the moment. So this is for last Friday’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group where the theme was food. I’m not sure if these citrus nails are oranges or lemons. They’re lemon coloured, but stamped over orange. So they could be either. The base is Barry M Mango […] Read more
The 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group is doing pastels. I’m a bit late with this – it should have been posted last Friday – but work had to take priority last week. My personal prompt was gradient, so I created some yellow and orange pastel gradient nails. I used to create all my gradients […] Read more
These red lace nails are inspired by a dress and are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas fashion prompt. The base for this is Barry M Nude, but apart from that, I’ve used some fantastic Moyra products for this look, which is inspired by a red lace dress – see below for the inspiration. […] Read more
