I am so busy at the moment, and have been since my son broke up from school a week ago, that I do not have as much time to do my nails at the moment. I’m desperate to do some nail art. I have some gradients with stamping in mind, plus some colour combinations for […] Read more
Sally Hansen The Sky’s The Limit, which has been on my nails since Wednesday, is very close in colour to the background of a pretty floral top I have. Inspired by that, I decided to try to recreate the pattern (somewhat) on my nails. I used my Barry M White Nail Art Pen for the […] Read more
I recently bought Sakura from Sally Magpies, along with three other Emily de Molly polishes. This is the one that I chose first when I was buying them, as I loved it so much. I love the simplicity of the colour scheme, and I love round glitters. My son used to go to school with […] Read more
I fancied putting something bright on my nails and this lovely magenta colour was just the right thing. Pink is not really my thing, but this is a fabulous colour. It’s so bright, and very eye-catching, but just shy enough of all out neon to be acceptable to me. It’s Barry M Fuchsia. A perfectly […] Read more
I didn’t think I’d like the “hairy” polishes, you know, the ones with bar glitter. The new trend for these polishes packed with matte bar glitter was passing me by because I just didn’t think I liked them. So I ignored the launch of feather effect polishes from Nails Inc., and then ignored the launch […] Read more
If you had a colour that was a perfect mix of pink, orange and red, and which you could not describe except by using ALL those words, then you would have Barry M Passion Fruit. Passion Fruit is from the new summer range of Gelly Hi-Shine polishes. Five new shades have been added to the […] Read more
This is my first (successful) full manicure water marble. Before I started blogging, I attempted a water marble manicure on all ten nails, but it was pretty rubbish because there wasn’t enough contrast in the colours I used, and I quickly removed it. I’ve also done one accent nail water marble, which I loved and […] Read more
I don’t wear pink very often as I don’t think it suits me. But I’m quite pleasantly surprised by this shade. Although it’s rather bright and in your face, I think that’s why I like it; bright colours suit my skin tone. This is Models Own Pink Blush. It’s a bright, almost neon, pink creme. […] Read more
I’ve seen a number of manicures where stripes have been teamed with vintage roses, and I’ve pinned many of them on my Pinterest board that I use for saving manicures that I want to try to recreate. Pretty much all of the nails I’ve ever seen seem to be of the Cath Kidston variety, with […] Read more
I’ve had some fairly bright or noticeable colours on my nails recently: bright blue, red, mint green. So I was craving a more neutral look. This dusky rose pink from L’Oreal, called Boudoir Rose, is perfect. It would be a great colour to wear to work too, especially if your employers only allow subtle manicures. […] Read more
