Every week, I showcase a Nella Milano polish that is on offer at half price on the Nella Milano website. Instead of a plain swatch this week though, I thought I’d do some nail art. So I have some swirl water marble nails to go with Nella Milano Lady Lavender. Lady Lavender is a delicate […] Read more
Today I have a review of Nail Geek Clear Skies, a cornflower blue colour from Makeup Revolution. It’s a really beautiful colour. I do love my blues, and this one is a great colour. I was surprised to find that I have little that comes close to it in my collection. It dried averagely quickly, […] Read more
This manicure is some stamped navy and silver roses, using Bundle Monster BM-XL07 and some silver tear-drop studs. The base for this is Barry M Drive Me Navy, one of the new Sunset polishes. These are like the CND Vinylux or the OPI Infinite Shine polishes. They are a hybrid of gel and traditional polish […] Read more
I have another swatch of a Nella Milano nail polish today. This is True Blue, a bright cobalt blue cream. It is part of the Forget Me Not collection, a collection of three complementary blue creams. The polish went on easily and dried very quickly too. I’ve been impressed in general with the drying time […] Read more
The two choices for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are 3 neons or oceanic. It’s been miserable and rainy this morning, making neons out of the question. And so I have instead some oceanic nails using Sally Hansen Sparkling Water for the sparkly green-blue base with some waves stamping. Sally Hansen Sparkling […] Read more
It’s the penultimate challenge week in the A2Z series challenge. So, we’re at Y, which is for You. Well, not you … me. That’s how I interpreted it anyway. And I have done some blue with silver chevrons nails. I spent ages trying to think of what best represented me. I’ve done plenty of manicures […] Read more
I’ve gone with the neon theme for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge, pairing Essie Bottle Service with neon pink and blue chevron decals. I started by painting a white base on all my nails. I used Barry M Cotton, which has become my favourite white recently. Then I painted two coats of […] Read more
Here’s a blue daisies stamping manicure using one of the new extra large plates from Bundle Monster. BM-XL05 is one of the extra large plates released by Bundle Monster in February of this year. They’re not new images, but are old ones – the most popular ones apparently – resized as XL images. That’s great […] Read more
This week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge prompts are 3 pastels and negative space. I’ve been wearing a gel base coat for a while to prevent staining, but it hasn’t quite been long enough for all the staining to grow out. So negative space is a big no no for me. Accordingly, I chose […] Read more
I’m just about back on track and posting on the correct day for the A2Z series challenge. We’re at W, for wild, and I’ve created some pink, purple and blue gradient zebra nails. Bright gradient zebra is a style I’ve seen quite a lot, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in these colours too, […] Read more
