Nail blog posts from me are a bit like buses: none for a month and then two come along at once! So after a bit of a break, I’m back to posting with some blue and silver filigree nails. These are for a new challenge: 26 Great Nail Art Ideas. It’s a once a fortnight […] Read more
This is Chanel Sunrise Trip with studs for Twinsie Tuesday, the prompt for which is studs or embellishments this week. Sunrise Trip is a gorgeous colour. It is a jelly polish in a deep purple, almost indigo colour. It is the first “Nail Gloss” that Chanel has launched, and is distinct from their “Nail Colour” […] Read more
This week’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme is red and my own personal prompt is geometric. So these are my red geometric nails. The base is the classic and iconic Chanel Rouge Noir. To that, I’ve then added some colour using a Bundle Monster nail stencil. The stencil is Bundle Monster #24, which has […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week is to create nails inspired by your favourite fictional character. I went from the ridiculous to the sublime, first trying (and failing) to create Danger Mouse nails, and then finally being inspired by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Hamlet to create these grey and gold stamping nails. I do love Danger Mouse. […] Read more
I made it to the end. This is post number fifty-two, the last one for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. The prompts were dark and grungey and/or zig zags. I chose zig zags, which are also quite dark. But not grungey! The base and plain nails are Chanel Fortissimo. This is a gorgeous […] Read more
This week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge calls for a water marble and/or your most precious polish. I have only just done a water marble, so I used my most precious polish, Chanel Kaleidoscope, with geometric stamping added. Chanel Kaleidoscope is my most precious polish because it’s the one that is probably worth the […] Read more
This navy blue with silver geometric stamping manicure for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge is a bit of a cop out. The two prompts are TV and free choice. TV sounded too hard for me. I could only think that I would be needing to freehand something intricate. So free choice was easier. […] Read more
I have a brilliant combination on my nails today: the glorious Chanel Vibrato; which I’ve stamped with an abstract image from the Bundle Monster BM-XL155 plate, the Japan plate. Chanel Vibrato comes from this summer’s Blue Notes de Chanel collection (called Blue Rhythm in some other countries). There are two nail polishes in the collection: […] Read more
For this peach and white flowers manicure, I used Chanel June as the base and then stamped the white flowers using Born Pretty Store plate BP-L015. I have wanted Chanel June for ages, and I recently found it for sale in the The London Perfume Company for just £14.99. It was a limited edition that […] Read more
Chanel Coco Blue had been on my wishlist for ages. It was one of a collection of three blue polishes, the Les Jeans collection, which was released in September 2011 for Fashion’s Night Out. I bought Blue Boy from the collection about a year later. I’m not sure if the other two were still available […] Read more
