It’s St Patrick’s Day this time for the FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge. I took a leaf (ha ha) out of More Nail Polish‘s book, and used some real clover in my manicure. Sadly, I wasn’t lucky enough to find any four-leaf clover, so I’ve gone with a shamrock, a three-leafed clover. The clover nails are […] Read more
In this month’s Polish Party challenge we’re doing chevrons. I usually do three-coloured chevrons, splitting my nails equally into three. I have even done some as the latest manicure I did, for the GOT Polish challenge. So, I thought I’d try something a little different and try some chevron French tips.

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

You may have noticed – or you may not – that I haven’t posted in a while. Well, it’s because I’ve been away on holiday to France for a fortnight. I had a fabulous time. We stayed in a converted barn in the Charente Maritime. It’s an area we’ve been to before, and love it. […] Read more
I wanted to do a cling film manicure (aka Saran wrap manicure if you’re from the US). I was already wearing a base of Chanel Lilis, so I thought it would be nice to use a complementary colour with it. I checked online, and it seems turquoise and coral are complementary colours. So I added […] Read more
I created and wore this manicure straight away, which is a very rare thing for me to do. Normally, I will wear a plain colour, then after a day or two will look to jazz it up somehow by adding other colours. But I saw this manicure on Pinterest and was immediately inspired to recreate […] Read more
