China Glaze Ugly Sweater Party is the base for my glitter topper or flakie manicure for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge. My personal pattern this week is 3D or embellished, so I’ve added some triangular silver studs. I was going to add some Christmas trees, but the glitter itself is so blingy that […] Read more
For the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group this time, it’s cartoons and comics. I have some turquoise comic style nails. They are sort of inspired by comics. The base is Barry M Turquoise, which is one of my most favourite polishes of all time. I love blue, and I love turquoise even more. On […] Read more
My own personal theme for the to 40 Great Nail Art Ideas “grey plus a colour” prompt is dotting tools. So I have some grey and blue dotted half moons. I’ve recently done a very similar manicure, using peach, navy and cream, but haven’t got around to posting it yet. I wanted to see how […] Read more
This week the theme for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is my job, and I have some orange and white, rather eclectic stamping. I’m not enjoying the themes very much. They always immediately prompt me to need to do something freehand, which is not my forte. I need my lines to look straight and my […] Read more
Today, the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme is black and white, and my personal pattern is dots. My black and white dots weren’t created with a dotting tool though, but with stencils. I painted a base of Nella Milano Raven Wing, then added the dots using Nella Milano Chantilly Cream. I used some stencils […] Read more

The idea for these nails was that they would be a complete scene. But the perspective is wrong on them; the […] Read more
I have some butterfly stamping decals for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. The colour theme this time is orange, purple and green, and my own pattern type is decals. So I’ve made some butterfly stamping decals, and have painted my butterflies in orange, purple and green. I don’t think there are any green butterflies are […] Read more
It’s geek week for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. I decided to create some Morse code nail art. I know geeky can mean having a serious fandom about something – as in being a Whovian or a Trekkie. But it also conjures up science, maths and computing and anything technical or complex. And you have […] Read more
This week in the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge we have a colour – teal – and we all have different pattern prompts. I think some people are duplicated on pattern as there are so many of us taking part, but there are still 43 unique patterns. My pattern is circles, so I have […] Read more
So, as hinted at earlier in the week, today is the start of a new challenge for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts. This one is 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. The very first prompt is all about hobbies, and I have some black and white checked nails, to represent chess. So, I’ll explain the challenge. It […] Read more
