This is my first splatter manicure. And I can confirm that it was a lot of fun to create. I used Barry M Matte White and Essie Orange, It’s Obvious over the top of my previous Ciate Power Dressing manicure. After laying down lots of newspaper and taping up my nails, I dipped a straw […] Read more
I tried dotting some yellow and white flowers over my Barry M Sping Green manicure, but I just didn’t like the outcome, so took that off and decided that navy blue was the way to go. Ciate Power Dressing is a lovely shiny two-coater, that went on so well. I received the Ciate advent calendar […] Read more
I wanted to do some Easter nails, but I’m not particularly religious, nor did I want cutesy bunny nails. So instead I thought I’d try to recreate some mini eggs on my nails. We love Cadbury mini eggs in our house, so why not?! I was a bit flummoxed when I looked more closely at […] Read more
I bought this polish quite a few months ago now, and loved it so much I thought I would wear it straight away. But I bought it near the beginning of my polish obsession, when I was buying so much polish it seemed I’d never wear all of it! (And that still seems quite a […] Read more
Picture this scenario that I was met with yesterday … My current manicure is ready to come off. I have about half an hour before I am due to receive a delivery that needs to be stored in my garage. The garage has a fiddly lock that typically wrecks my nails anyway, even if they’re […] Read more
I think this polish may just have gone to number one spot for me. I love blue and I especially love turquoise. And this is the most perfect shade of turquoise ever. It’s not too green (I really don’t much like green) and it’s not too dark. Absolutely spot on I think. As with all […] Read more
It was a lovely and sunny day, so I put something bright and cheerful on my nails in anticipation of spring arriving soon (I hope!) I was thrilled to find out recently that I won a nail art contest hosted by Debbie of The Crumpet. There was no prize, but Debbie kindly offered me the […] Read more
I haven’t done a gradient in quite a while, so that’s what I chose to put on my nails today. This is three shades of blue. Revlon Dreamer is a pale, cornflower blue and was what I used as a base. Then I’ve used Collection 2000 BMX Bandit, which is a dark pastel blue, leaning […] Read more
I wanted to accent yesterday’s manicure, so decided to add some studs to it. I bought these square silver studs fairly recently, but hadn’t tried them out yet. Previously, I’ve used round studs, and been very happy with how they apply and how flat they lay on the nail, and these were just as good. […] Read more
I bought five new A England polishes in the special offer at the beginning of the year. Technically they’re supposed to be a present for my birthday, but I’m sure my Mum and Dad won’t mind me wearing one of them a bit early 🙂 My favourite of the five I bought was Galahad, a […] Read more
