I’m just about back on track and posting on the correct day for the A2Z series challenge. We’re at W, for wild, and I’ve created some pink, purple and blue gradient zebra nails. Bright gradient zebra is a style I’ve seen quite a lot, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in these colours too, […] Read more
I have another swatch post today. This is Nella Milano Mulberry Wood. It’s a dark mauve, almost purple colour, leaning to red, making it a classic berry colour. Many people would see this as more of an autumn colour perhaps, but I think it’s elegant and classic enough to wear year-round. This is 2 coats. […] Read more
I’m still behind in the A2Z series challenge, but I am catching up. For valuable, I’ve used Christian Louboutin Lova stamped with Chanel Kaleidoscope. These two polishes are amongst my most valuable. Christian Louboutin sells for £36 a bottle, and is the priciest polish I own. The polish I’ve stamped with is Chanel Kaleidoscope. This […] Read more
The two prompts for week 27 (over half way – woohoo!) in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are music and not worn enough. I’ve gone with music and done some purple and lilac music stamping. The base colour is Barry M Orchid. It’s one of the Silks collection and is supposed to be […] Read more
I haven’t done a swatch post in a long time as I’ve been quite absorbed with nail art challenges. But I’ve worn some lovely polishes recently, so I am aiming to post as many of them as I can over the next few weeks. The first one is Nella Milano A Royal Affair. This is […] Read more
I’ve used some textured glitter for T is for textured in the A2Z series challenge this week. Both polishes are from the 2true Sequins collection and are Eva, which is the blue one, and Naomi, the purple one. I have one other nail polish from this 5-part collection; it’s the silver one, called Christy. I’ve […] Read more
Q for quirky for the A2Z series challenge was a tough one. So I took the easy option and used a polish from Quirk. This is Éponine, made by Kerrie from Quirk Polish (and the blogger behind PishPosh & Polish). Sadly, she stopped making her indie polishes last year. It is a clear base with […] Read more
Up until now, I have been posting my 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge manicures on a Sunday, but seeing as this has a Valentine’s theme, I thought it best to post it today. The base is two coats of Barry M Orchid, the shimmery purple from the Silks collection. You can’t see the silky, […] Read more
I have a couple of new things for this week’s A2Z series challenge prompt, for N is for new; the red polish and the stamping plate are both new. The red is Ciaté Kitten Heels. I bought it for £1.50 in an Original Factory Shop that was closing down. It’s a lovely colour, but quite […] Read more
It’s L for lines in this week’s A2Z series challenge. I like lines. In fact I’d go so far as to say I love lines, and stripes in particular. So, this was an easy and enjoyable challenge for me. I’ve painted some purple and grey stripes over white. Well, off white really; the base is […] Read more
