This pretty shade is Magic Hana Rainy Day; a one-step gel polish. I do love a one-step gel polish. No base, no top coat, no wiping. Just a few coats of colour and you’re ready to go. It’s so quick and so easy. So many times, I’ve removed my polish and haven’t had much time […] Read more
I’m starting the New Year off gently with a soft colour – just in case any of you still have hangovers! This gel polish is Semilac Nude Beige Rose. It’s a really beautiful, delicate and feminine colour. I think Semilac are hedging their bets with name. They’ve included three different colours in it! In fact, […] 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
Don’t these pastel Halloween pumpkin faces look weird? It’s not right to see Halloween done in the wrong colours! But that’s the theme for this week’s 26 Great Nail Art Ideas group. My Facebook feed has been filled with similar things – pumpkins and graveyards and bats and witches … but done in pinks and […] Read more
The 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group theme this time around is “nude and colour”. My personal prompt is patchwork, so it was easy enough for me to do some patchwork nails that incorporated some colours and a nude polish. I used the patchwork stamp on Bundle Monster plate BM-607 to make some stamping decals. […] Read more
I have some (rather belated) pastel and negative space curved chevrons nails for last week’s “negative space” prompt for Twinsie Tuesday. I’ve never much liked negative space manicures as my nails are so stained. They’re not too bad at the cuticle end, but by about half way down, they start to get very yellow. You […] Read more
These pink and lilac Ikat design nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I’m very late in posting these. Firstly, I put off painting them as I had never done an Ikat print before; and secondly, my son has been pretty ill most of the weekend, meaning my nurse-maiding duties had to […] Read more
I got lucky with the prompt for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas this week. The theme is three colours of purple, and my personal prompt is fishbraid – which needs three colours. So purple fishbraid nails was an easy one to do. I used three Barry M polishes: Bright Purple, Plum and Lilac Foil. I’ve […] Read more
I have some lilac, violet and purple chevrons for this week in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. Violet is one of the prompts, and the other is waterfall. I tried twice to create waterfall nails, and they were terrible both times. So this is the third manicure for this challenge. I don’t know […] Read more
This 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge calls for either a tape mani or a green manicure. I am not at all keen on green, so this was a no-brainer of a choice for me. I’ve created a purple and lilac chevrons manicure. The lilac is Revlon Provence. Provence in France is famous for its […] Read more
