Pink Floral using Essie Coacha’Bella | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

These pink floral nails are a simple entry for this week’s floral prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I am suffering with the postdrome of a migraine today and don’t have the brain power or focus to do anything special, so these nails from a few days ago will have to do. […] Read more

Multicoloured Paisley Flow

I’ve called this manicure a multicoloured paisley flow because it uses a stamping plate from Bundle Monster’s most recent collection, the Paisley Flow collection. Paisley Flow is a collection of ten square, buffet-style plates that carry on from where the Shangri-La collection left off. It has some brilliant open images, which are great for colouring […] Read more

Magenta Waves | Twinsie Tuesday

This week for Twinsie Tuesday we’re doing monochrome. I’ve done a monochrome prompt before, and went with a black and white theme, even though – strictly speaking – monochrome in general just means using one colour, and shades of it. I’ve gone with that meaning this time and have created some tone on tone magenta […] Read more

Pink and Lilac Ikat | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

These pink and lilac Ikat design nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I’m very late in posting these. Firstly, I put off painting them as I had never done an Ikat print before; and secondly, my son has been pretty ill most of the weekend, meaning my nurse-maiding duties had to […] Read more

Violet Tweed | Berry Good Looking | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

These violet tweed nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. The theme is violet, and my personal prompt is houndstooth or tweed or plaid. There has been some discussion in our Facebook group about what shade of purple violet actually is. For myself, to be sure I was getting the right colour, […] Read more

Bundle Monster Night Fall | Thermal Colour-Changing Gel Polish

This beauty is Bundle Monster Night Fall, a thermal, colour-changing gel polish. It’s quite thick, as with all Bundle Monster gel polishes that I have used – so it needs a little care when applying. But it’s not hard to apply, it just requires more attention at the cuticle and along the sides to get […] Read more

OPI She’s A Bad Muffuletta with Spring Flowers | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

I have some spring flowers for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group today. I used some polishes from the OPI New Orleans Spring 2016 collection. The base is OPI She’s A Bad Muffuletta. I don’t understand the pun behind this polish name at all. I looked up muffuletta, because I had no idea what […] Read more

Dry Brush Pink Hearts | Love | 40 Great Nail Art Ideas

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

Pink “I Love You” Nails | Bundle Monster Mochi Stamping Station

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
