I wore this manicure back in the middle of February – for my birthday, as it happens. I started off just wearing L’Oréal Mystic Blue as it’s one of my favourite polishes. We were staying away for a few days – my birthday falls in half term week every year – and I’d been treated […] Read more
I was wearing Pacific, which is the blue-green ducochrome from the new Barry M Aquarium collection, and I was all ready to test out some nail tattoos that I had been sent by Fake Tattoos. I received two packs of tattoos, with various designs on them, including birds, fish, anchors, ice-creams, palm trees and boats. […] Read more
Here’s the other polish that I bought this week from the new Barry M Aquarium collection. This is a blue-green duochrome called Pacific. Well, you could argue that the green is a greeny turquoise. It reminded me very much of Chanel’s Azuré, so I pulled out my swatch wheels, and it’s not far off. Pacific […] Read more
I have admired Gloss ‘n Sparkle’s Slowly Growing Deaf from afar for a while. I tried to get it in a blog sale, but failed. And then I came across it quite by chance on Rainbow Connection; I didn’t know they sold it! It’s a lovely pale blue, packed full of tiny silver and red […] Read more
I didn’t know where to start for the abstract theme for this week’s FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge. So I did what I always do when faced with something I’m not sure about … I Googled! I looked up abstract art and found a nice abstract painting to use as my inspiration. I was going to […] Read more
I have another Laquerdaisical polish on today. This is Purple Phase, a thermal, colour-changing polish that goes from blue/grey when warm to dark purple when cold. The formula was again quite thick, and tended to drag if you went over the same spot, so I had to ensure I did the manicure carefully. Some thinner […] Read more
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
This week’s theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge is sparkle. I thought about going all out with some blingy rhinestones, or some glitter, but ultimately I chose something a little more understated, but still with sparkle. I’ve put some blue and green star stickers over a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I […] Read more
This week’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is all about blue; my favourite colour. Before I realised that there is a chevron prompt coming up, I’d already created some double chevron half moon nails! Never mind; I do like chevrons, so I’m happy to be doing them again soon. The pale blue is Revlon […] Read more
This week in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge we’re doing geometric nails. I saw a fabulous picture on Pinterest of a funky coat (image further down), and that became my inspiration for this manicure. After applying a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I used hole reinforcer stickers so I could […] Read more
