The Twinsie Tuesday group is doing mix and match manicures today. I haven’t heard that term applied to a nails look before, so I am not entirely sure if I’ve got this right. To me, it sounds like it should be a bit of a skittlette: the match being the same or similar colours, and […] Read more
I did some reverse stamping using a new stamping plate from Moyra, and created these pink and cream roses. Moyra is a relatively unknown brand in the UK at the moment. Their polishes were being sold in the UK via someone on a Facebook group about a year or more ago, but I don’t think […] Read more
I have a swear words manicure for the Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week, the theme for which was words. I was initially going to play it safe and do some “normal” words, but I changed my mind once I received the MoYou London Lingo 01 plate, which has a load of wonderful British phrases on […] Read more
After a bit of a hiatus during December, the Twinsie Tuesday group returns today with a Christmas manicure. I have created some Fairisle Christmas jumper nails, in cream, pink and blue. I have just received the CICI & SISI special Christmas plate, Miss Xmas – Happy Reindeer. I won it in a CICI & SISI […] Read more
After several months of secrecy, I can now reveal that I was lucky enough to be selected to take part in Picture Polish FEST 2015. In case you’re not aware of it, each year since 2011 Picture Polish has created a bit of a blog fest, with bloggers creating nail art or doing swatches with […] Read more
OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips is a perfect pink. It’s so … pink! I’m fairly rubbish when it comes to describing colours. I try my best, but there are only so many ways you can say pink. This is apparently, according to the OPI website, a hot pink. It originally came out as part […] Read more
These gradient pink zebra nails are to raise awareness of NET Cancer Day, which is today, 10th November. Myself and many of the British Nail Bloggers are creating pink zebra nails to promote this awareness day and to support my lovely nail blogger friend, Emma, of Em’s Little Corner. Emma’s husband was diagnosed with a […] Read more
Today I’m wearing Nella Milano Raspberry Razzle. It’s my favourite Nella Milano pink. It’s a deep, rosy pink. Some raspberry polishes are more red. I classify Barry M Raspberry, for example, as a red. But Raspberry Razzle definitely sits in the pinks. It’s perfect at two coats and looks shiny and gorgeous. It’s such a […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Pinky Ponk. What a fab name! I love it! It’s quite a difficult shade of pink to describe. It’s sort of salmon-leaning. I didn’t think I would like it, but I really love it. I think I’ve loved al the Nella Milano pinks. If I didn’t have […] Read more
On the Nella Milano website, the polish on special offer this week is Fiery Flamenco. Its precise shade is difficult to pin down. It seems to be almost exactly in the middle of red and pink. The name doesn’t help much: flamenco dancers wear mainly – but not exclusively – red dresses. But, they’re often […] Read more
