These pink and white stamped floral tips mean just one thing … yet more pink on the blog! I need to start getting into some autumnal and winter colours to neutralise the pinkness of my recent posts! I was already wearing Nella Milano Cheery Bon Bon and it was wearing well, so I decided to […] Read more
Nella Milano Cheery Bon Bon is this week’s special offer Nella Milano polish. It’s a deep but bright pink that leans slightly to cherry or raspberry. Just the name cheers me up – it’s cheery, as is the polish colour. It’s a really fabulous statement colour that would look great any time of year but […] Read more
I’ve used one of the new Bundle Monster Shangri-La plates to create these pink with white floral stamping nails. I used Nella Milano Sweetie Darling for the base, then stamped in white using Bundle Monster BM-S107. The plate is called White Lotus and features swirls, floral images and paisley patterns. It comes from the Shangri-La […] Read more
I’ve combined the hot pink and tribal prompts for this week in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. I have some hot pink nails in the form of L’Oréal Shocking Pink, and I have added a stamped tribal accent nail. I created the accent nail using the stamping decal method. I did plan on […] Read more
Bundle Monster has a new gel polish collection out, called Ain’t No Basic B!tch. They are “speed gels”, which is Bundle Monster’s term for one-step gel polish. They don’t need a base or top coat, just two coats of the gel polish itself, and you don’t need to wipe off the sticky layer either (because […] Read more
Nella Milano Sweetie Darling is this week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish. It’s a lovely bright pink; bold and cheery. It comes from the Amador collection, a collection of five pinks and reds. It provided great coverage in two coats. I must apologise that my photos aren’t particularly colour accurate. The colour shown in […] Read more
The two challenge prompts for last week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge were: red and pink, or skittles. I chose to create some pink, red and white mini dotted flowers. My design is entirely inspired (copied!) from one done by Nail That Design. I used all Nella Milano polishes for this design. The pink […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Moon Whisper. It is a very delicate, refined pale pink shade; perfect for French manicures and wedding nails. It’s very sheer. This took four coats and still isn’t opaque. Normally I’m not keen on visible nail line, but there’s something about this colour and its delicacy that […] Read more
I previously posted some nails using some of the Bundle Monster Mosaic Glass Sheer Tint gel polishes. And I’ve used them a different way today to create a pebble skittle manicure, using the leadlight technique. Starting with two coats of Gelish Black Shadow and a gel top coat, I then removed the sticky layer and […] Read more
In this post, I’m wearing Bundle Monster Sunset Walk, a neon pink gel polish – to which I’ve added some 3D crystal gems. My camera hates bright pink, but this gel polish is most certainly bright and neon – it’s a true “highlighter pen” pink, and is just perfect for summer. It glows really brightly […] Read more
