I’m late with the Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week. I’ve been ill in bed with flu, and then I went away for a few days at the end of the week for my birthday. So these coffee inspired swirls are rather late. I wasn’t sure what to do when I saw the coffee prompt. Normally […] Read more
These dry brush pink hearts nails are two days late for the love prompt of 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. Everyone in our house has, or has had, flu. It’s an unhealthy place this week. I didn’t really fancy painting my nails today, but thought there wasn’t much point in getting this post up any […] Read more
Up until now, I have been posting my 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge manicures on a Sunday, but seeing as this has a Valentine’s theme, I thought it best to post it today. The base is two coats of Barry M Orchid, the shimmery purple from the Silks collection. You can’t see the silky, […] Read more
As my last manicure was chevrons, I chose the red and gold prompt this week in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. The base is two coats of Nails Inc Tate, which came free with Glamour magazine this month. It’s a lovely, deep red, and I couldn’t resist getting it, despite the fact that […] Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, I made it. I’ve posted every day for the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. Today’s final prompt calls for us to recreate someone else’s manicure or to do something freestyle. I tried a few different things out that I’d not done before, but they all failed, so in the […] Read more
I’ve actually followed the proper rules for today’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. Up until now, I have been using untried polishes, despite the idea about the GOT Polish Challenge being that you showcase not-used-in-a-long-time polishes. So for today, I’ve chosen Rimmel Rapid Ruby as my base colour. It was one of the first […] Read more
It’s hearts in today’s Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge and I’m so pleased with what I’ve done. I’ve created some reverse gradient hearts. Firstly, I created a gradient on my nails, from white at the cuticles to dark pink at the tips using – from darkest to lightest – Barry M Pomegranate, NYC […] Read more
I’m taking on the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. It’s all this week, so five days, culminating on Friday, which is Valentine’s Day. In the US, candy hearts seem to be actually heart shaped. In the UK we have Love Hearts, which are round and then have a raised heart shape and raised […] Read more
As we get closer to Valentine’s, it’s no surprise that this week’s theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge is hearts. I’m doing the Week Of Love Valentine’s challenge starting tomorrow too, so there are going to be lots of red, pink and lovey-dovey manicures coming up! The pink nails are three coats of Rimmel […] Read more
I’ve joined in the Everything But The Kitchen Sink Saturday challenge once again, this time with a hearts manicure. Three of my nails have a base of OPI I Have A Herring Problem, which I was wearing yesterday; the other two have Nina Silver Slipper. I started by adding the silver hearts to my ring […] Read more
