The two prompts for this 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge were tie dye and fugly. I didn’t have many ideas about what to do, and I’ve just returned from holiday, meaning I am really busy catching up with things. So I took the easy option and created a tie dye accent nail which I […] Read more
Nella Milano Sweetie Darling is this week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish. It’s a lovely bright pink; bold and cheery. It comes from the Amador collection, a collection of five pinks and reds. It provided great coverage in two coats. I must apologise that my photos aren’t particularly colour accurate. The colour shown in […] Read more
This week’s swatch is of Nella Milano Scarlet Heat. It’s a classic red; slightly darker and a touch less orange than The Rubinator. It was good at two coats and they both dried speedily and to a great shine. I really rate Nella Milano polishes. I’ve been so impressed with them. They come in a […] Read more
This beautiful blue is Nella Milano Madame Pompadour. It is a medium, slightly dusky blue. Some people see it leaning more purple or violet, but it doesn’t look like that on me; it’s just blue. I had no idea after whom it was named, but having looked her up, I now know all about her. […] Read more
This navy paisley stamping manicure uses another plate from the Bundle Monster Around The World collection. This is a paisley image from Bundle Monster BM-XL154, Paisley Delhite, the India plate, stamped using Mundo De Uñas Blue Navy (3) onto a base of Nella Milano Grey Goose. The plate is a buffet-style plate, with lots of […] Read more
This week’s special offer Nella Milano polish is Evergreen. Aside from mint green and lime green, I don’t particularly like green on my nails. And I’m afraid the same goes for this mossy green too, so I won’t comment too much on the colour. I’m sure it will have its fans and I’ll leave it […] Read more
Nella Milano Grey Goose is the colour of the week and the special offer polish on the Nella Milano website. It’s part of the Misty Morning collection, a collection of five white, black and grey polishes. It’s quite a light grey creme. It’s not a particularly summery shade, but with the British weather as it […] Read more
The two challenge prompts for last week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge were: red and pink, or skittles. I chose to create some pink, red and white mini dotted flowers. My design is entirely inspired (copied!) from one done by Nail That Design. I used all Nella Milano polishes for this design. The pink […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Moon Whisper. It is a very delicate, refined pale pink shade; perfect for French manicures and wedding nails. It’s very sheer. This took four coats and still isn’t opaque. Normally I’m not keen on visible nail line, but there’s something about this colour and its delicacy that […] Read more
Today’s swatch is of Nella Milano Crystal Coral. I typically think of coral – the colour – as being lighter and more pink than this. But I know that coral comes in all sorts of colours, including this deeper, more orange hue. This polish reminds me of the time when my sister bought some coral […] Read more
