I was really stumped about what to do when it came to this toys prompt for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. Then, I was listening to Absolute Radio, and on Christian O’Connell’s breakfast show, he was saying he was having trouble getting his daughter a Furby Boom, as everywhere was sold out. I […] Read more
Today is all about Christmas traditions for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. There was so much I could have taken as inspiration for this prompt: Christmas trees, decorations, Christmas jumpers, mistletoe, gifts … the list could go on tenfold. I decided to go with holly. I love holly. I love the wonderfully shaped […] Read more
I am a bit gutted about today’s prompt for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. You see it calls for a winter nature scene, and I have the perfect stamping plate for it. But I don’t really have it – not yet, anyway. There’s a beautiful image in the Bundle Monster Create Your Own […] Read more
Well, this is it. It’s the very last day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. Today, we can either do anything we like (freestyle) or we can recreate another manicure from the challenge. There have been so many brilliant manicures, but I really fell in love with a very simple, but really well […] Read more
For Day 26 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge, the prompt is something from Pinterest. I have lots of other people’s manicures pinned that I want to someday recreate, as well as some general boards of patterns and colours that I like. I have a lovely abstract pattern pinned that I thought I […] Read more
My Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge manicure for today is a bit of a cop out. The theme is a pattern in your wardrobe and I was all set to recreate a shirt I have that’s a lovely medium purple with white swirly flowers and leaves. I had left the manicure to the last […] Read more
It’s day 19 and today in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge we’re following someone’s tutorial. I’ve always wanted to do the flowers that MrCandiipants does using just the polish brushes and decided at the beginning of this challenge that I would do just that when it came to day 19. In the past […] Read more
Day 18 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge calls for a manicure featuring two patterns. I was going to do dots and stripes, but it kind of evolved into dotted flowers and stripes instead when I saw this post and wanted to copy the flowers. I started off with a base of OPI […] Read more
This is an easy prompt for me for the tenth day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. Flowers – well, dotted flowers at least – are my staple when I want to cheer up a manicure or do something different over a plain base. I perhaps should have pushed myself and tried a […] Read more
Oh there really are some prompts in this challenge that I loathe. So far, Mexican nails is the worst and has caused me no end of problems. I started off by trying sugar skulls. I have usually only seen these done on a white or black base, but I had the great idea – or […] Read more
