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 stamped over yesterday’s green manicure with some green flowers, using Bundle Monster BM-XL05 plate. To recap, the base is two coats of Boca Catalina, from the Sands of Aruba collection, a bright green gel polish, with one coat of gel top coat. I then stamped a floral image from plate BM-XL05, using Mundo de […] Read more
This is a swatch of Bundle Monster Boca Catalina, a bright green gel nail polish. I didn’t know what the polish’s name meant, until I looked it up and discovered that it is a beach in Aruba. It’s a pretty apt name for this colour having now seen photos of the sparkling green Caribbean waters. […] 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
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
I’ve left today’s A2Z series challenge manicure until the last minute as usual. This morning, a few of the others taking part in this challenge were talking about it and I realised the theme had been changed. I create the Inlinkz for this so you would think I would notice. But no. I was convinced […] Read more
I’ve been a Madness fan since the very beginning (1979), and while my musical taste in general leans more indie, I have remained true to my first musical love for 35 years. I went to see them on Saturday night at the O2, for the final gig of their current UK tour and so decided […] Read more
I’m jumping in on a new challenge. Only in my last post was I complaining about my lack of inspiration and lack of posting – so it’s come at exactly the right time. Charlie from Pocket Money Polishes is running the challenge, which is a series of A to Z posts. I’m joining in right […] Read more
For today’s tropical prompt in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge I immediately thought of the ubiquitous Hawaiian floral print. I checked to see if Hawaii is in the tropics and happily discovered that it is (just). A little more research revealed that the flower that features is a Hawaiian Hibiscus. And after yet […] Read more
I’ve been wanting to do a stamping decal for a while now. I have used a similar method to more easily put a hand drawn image on my nails, which is how I did my Roobarb & Custard nails. But I’ve not done it with a stamp yet. I had been searching through my stamping […] Read more
