Flowers using Bundle Monster Mosaic Glass Sheer Tints Gels

Bundle Monster has just released some sheer tinted gel polishes, called Mosaic Glass Sheer Tints. They are like the OPI sheer tints, but in gel polish format. This stamped floral manicure uses three of them: Sunny Disposition (yellow), Apricot Beauty (orange) and Peony Blush (pink). I started with a base of white gel polish, then […] Read more

Red, Orange and Green Flowers (52 Week Challenge)

The two themes for this week’s (well, last week’s) 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are plaid and/or orange, red and green. I went for the colours and created a red, orange and green floral manicure. This is done with all Barry M polishes: Blood Orange (red), Satsuma (orange), Spring Green (green, obviously) and Cotton, […] Read more

Stamped Pink, Orange and Red Gradient: Bright & Happy (52 Week Challenge)

I’ve gone for the bright and happy prompt for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge and have a stamped pink, orange and red gradient.

Curvy zigzags with Ciaté Encore! and Nails Inc Wigmore Street (52 Week Challenge)

The prompts for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge this week are crinkly tape and glitter topper. I’ve gone for the crinkly tape option and used a curvy zigzag sticker to create this look. The base is Ciaté Encore!, a muted orange creme that was unworn until today. It won’t stay that way though, […] Read more

Brush stroke metallics skittle (52 Week Challenge)

This week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge is either brush stroke or favourite brand. Having not done a brush stroke manicure before, that was my immediate choice. I wasn’t sure how – or if – it differed from a distressed manicure, so I had a quick search to find out more. In searching, I […] Read more
