Here’s the full Red Carpet Manicure Off To The Premiere collection for AW19. It’s a gorgeous collection of six gel polishes in a range of autumnal and winter colours. I have mainly used two coats for each of these polishes. They all had a great coverage with just those two coats, except for the blue, […] Read more
Morgan Taylor Rule The Runway is another polish from the Sweetheart Squadron collection for Autumn 2016. Of the six polishes, this is the third one that I have reviewed so far. And just like the others, it does not disappoint. Rule the Runway is a light grey that has a slight warm lavender tone to […] Read more
I have some pink, purple and grey stripes nail art, courtesy of Diabolical Nail Varnish. Diabolical Nail Varnish has been specially created by Firebox.com. These three polishes come as a set, presented in a pink box, and are inspired by Wes Anderson’s stylised film, The Grand Budapest Hotel. I absolutely adored the film. I hadn’t […] Read more
I’m on time for Twinsie Tuesday this week, for the first time in a while! The prompt is inspired by jewellery. My silver swirls are inspired by some silver and abalone jewellery I saw. I didn’t want to faithfully recreate it; I just wanted to take a few aspects from it to create my manicure. […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt this time around is grey and gold and I have some dark grey nails with gold lace half moon stamping. I don’t personally think grey and gold go brilliantly well together. Grey is a cold colour and gold is a warm one. Grey goes much better with silver I think. So […] Read more
Today I have some winter trees for the Crumpets Nail Tarts Winter theme for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. I wanted to used this stamping plate two years’ ago at around this time, for the Christmas Challenge 2013 winter nature theme, but I hadn’t actually received it yet. Surprisingly, despite how much I wanted to […] Read more
My own personal theme for the to 40 Great Nail Art Ideas “grey plus a colour” prompt is dotting tools. So I have some grey and blue dotted half moons. I’ve recently done a very similar manicure, using peach, navy and cream, but haven’t got around to posting it yet. I wanted to see how […] 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
This week’s swatch is of Nella Milano Mercury Haze. It’s a mid to dark grey that comes from the Misty Morning collection, which is five shades that range from black to white. I needed two coats for sufficient coverage. They both dried quickly and left a good shine. This is an autumn-appropriate shade – lovely […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Iron Spring. It is a very difficult shade to describe. It’s detailed on the Nella Milano website as being browny-grey, which you can’t disagree with. But, in some lights, it has a murky green tone to it, making it more of a khaki or a dusky olive […] Read more
