These coral reef nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group, whose prompt this week is “Things In The Water”. I decided to use some images from the Bundle Monster Sun Kissed stamping plate collection to create an underwater scene. Firstly, I painted the gradient background using Barry M Cotton, Barry M Sugar […] Read more
This is some yellow and silver double stamping for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. The colour prompt is yellow and silver, and my personal theme is pattern on pattern. I only very rarely wear yellow on my nails. I know lots of people really dislike it. I don’t, but it’s not something I […] Read more
The 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group is doing hot pink and my personal prompt was mosaic or stained glass, so I have some pink mosaic stripes. Not all the polishes I used are hot pink, but then when you’re doing mosaic, you need lots of different colours. My first attempt at mosaic nails began […] Read more
This week for Twinsie Tuesday we’re doing monochrome. I’ve done a monochrome prompt before, and went with a black and white theme, even though – strictly speaking – monochrome in general just means using one colour, and shades of it. I’ve gone with that meaning this time and have created some tone on tone magenta […] Read more
Today I have some ladybird nails for the animals theme of the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. Now, we have insects coming up in July as a prompt, so perhaps I should have saved these for that. But, I’ve left it to the last minute as ever – well, over the last minute; these […] Read more
I am way behind on posting at the moment. So this is for last Friday’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group where the theme was food. I’m not sure if these citrus nails are oranges or lemons. They’re lemon coloured, but stamped over orange. So they could be either. The base is Barry M Mango […] Read more
These dandelion nails are for the “things that fly” prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group I really wanted to have dragonflies on my nails, but could only find a solitary one on a Bundle Monster plate. So I thought I’d try to be a little different and go for a non-animal/insect flying […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt today is inspired by your favourite food. And with that, I have some cucumber nails! Yes, I know it’s strange, but I shall explain. I had wanted to do some chillies on my nails to represent the spicy food like Thai curry that I love. But the chilli on my stamping […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt for today is “inspired by the season”. So I have some autumn leaves on black. I work from home, and these are the colours I can currently see out of my office window, as the leaves on the trees change colour. I was already wearing Nella Milano Raven Wing – which […] Read more
The two prompts for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are three colours of red/orange or swirls. I combined the two for an orange and red gradient with swirls stamping. I can’t get enough of gradient stamping at the moment. I think it’s my favourite type of nail art. For the gradient, I […] Read more
