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
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a quick post I made about the new Bundle Monster Mochi Stamping Station. I’ve now had a chance to try it out and have created my first manicure using it: some pink “I Love You” nails. First off, this stamper is huge. The stamping surface […] Read more
It’s letter W this week in the A to Z series challenge. I couldn’t decide between two purple Ws, so I used them both to create a half and half manicure with some striping tape inthe middle. The cream on the top half of the nail is NYC Wild With Passion. It’s a red-toned purple, […] Read more
The prompt for this month’s Polish Party is “inspired by another Polish Party member”. It’s been suggested for quite a few months now, but hasn’t won in our vote, so it’s good that it’s finally come around. There are so many talented nail artists to choose from, and I spent ages going through all the […] 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 joined a group on Twitter who have a Polish Party once a month. We all do nail art to a theme and this time around we’re doing January Blues. I’ve done quite a lot of blue manicures recently – good thing it’s my favourite colour! I decided to be cheery about my “blues” and […] Read more
Christmas food was another tough challenge for me in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. I didn’t really know what to do, and spent ages trawling through images of Christmas fayre for some inspiration. Ultimately, I couldn’t come up with anything original to do, so I went with the standard candy canes French tip […] Read more
The prompt in today’s Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge is lines. I have wanted to do tartan nails for ages, ever since seeing a tutorial on Tumblr. It wasn’t easy. I usually do my stripes and straight-lined patterns using tape. But for some reason, I chose to freehand these with nail art brushes and […] Read more
Today in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge it’s art with the colour you own the most of. (Ooh, a terminal preposition. The pedant in me would shout “bad grammar”! I’ll let it pass 😉 ) I own more blues than anything else. At current count, 87 of my 393 polishes are blue. That’s […] Read more
So, today for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge we have to recreate or be inspired by a pattern in our home. There are only three patterns I can think of in my house; everything else is completely plain. My son’s duvet is patterned, we have a wallpapered accent wall, and a patterned vinyl […] Read more
