I joined a group on Twitter who have a Polish Party once a month. We all do nail art to a theme and this time around we’re doing January Blues. I’ve done quite a lot of blue manicures recently – good thing it’s my favourite colour! I decided to be cheery about my “blues” and […] Read more
I am a bit gutted about today’s prompt for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. You see it calls for a winter nature scene, and I have the perfect stamping plate for it. But I don’t really have it – not yet, anyway. There’s a beautiful image in the Bundle Monster Create Your Own […] Read more
Day 31 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge calls for me to do some artwork with my 3 favourite polishes. Picking your favourite polishes is like choosing between your children. It’s impossible. (OK, who am I to make that comparison – my son is an only child!) But still, it’s very difficult to […] Read more

This is an easy prompt for me for the tenth day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. Flowers – well, dotted flowers at least – are my staple when I want to cheer up a manicure or do something different over a plain base. I perhaps should have pushed myself and tried a […] Read more
Today is the first day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. I’ll be posting my challenge manicures three times a week on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday for the next eleven weeks. I’ve not taken part in a challenge before, so I’m rather excited. But I’m also a bit daunted by some […] Read more
I popped into Boots this morning – not for nail polish for a change – but of course I couldn’t help but have a quick look at them all, could I? And I’m glad I did because there are a few offers on that I took advantage of. Firstly, Revlon polish is on offer. When […] Read more
