The Twinsie Tuesday prompt today is inspired by your favourite food. And with that, I have some cucumber nails! Yes, I know it’s strange, but I shall explain. I had wanted to do some chillies on my nails to represent the spicy food like Thai curry that I love. But the chilli on my stamping […] Read more

Myself and many of the British Nail Bloggers are creating pink zebra nails to promote this awareness day and to support my lovely nail blogger friend, Emma, of Em’s Little Corner. Emma’s husband was diagnosed with a […] 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
It’s Halloween for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group today. I’ve not really done “proper” Halloween nails before. I did a Halloween needle drag, but that’s as close as I’ve got before now.

If you haven’t used gel polish yet, but you’re curious, I have a fabulous and very inexpensive way for you to try it out. Bundle Monster has teamed three classic gel polish colours with a mini torch-based (flashlight for the North Americans!) LED curing light. And all for what I think is a great value […] Read more
The idea for this red and gold Chinese pattern manicure came to me quite randomly. I was wearing red – Nella Milano Scarlet Heat – and wanted to extend the manicure with some stamping. Thinking it would look good with gold stamping, I was reminded of the Bundle Monster Around The World “China” plate, Shanghai […] Read more
I’ve used one of the new Bundle Monster Shangri-La plates to create these pink with white floral stamping nails. I used Nella Milano Sweetie Darling for the base, then stamped in white using Bundle Monster BM-S107. The plate is called White Lotus and features swirls, floral images and paisley patterns. It comes from the Shangri-La […] Read more
I’ve combined the hot pink and tribal prompts for this week in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. I have some hot pink nails in the form of L’Oréal Shocking Pink, and I have added a stamped tribal accent nail. I created the accent nail using the stamping decal method. I did plan on […] Read more
