Today I have some ladybird nails for the animals theme of the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. Now, we have insects coming up in July as a prompt, so perhaps I should have saved these for that. But, I’ve left it to the last minute as ever – well, over the last minute; these […] Read more
These red lace nails are inspired by a dress and are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas fashion prompt. The base for this is Barry M Nude, but apart from that, I’ve used some fantastic Moyra products for this look, which is inspired by a red lace dress – see below for the inspiration. […] Read more
This week’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme is red and my own personal prompt is geometric. So these are my red geometric nails. The base is the classic and iconic Chanel Rouge Noir. To that, I’ve then added some colour using a Bundle Monster nail stencil. The stencil is Bundle Monster #24, which has […] Read more
We’re doing films for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group, and I chose to use my new hēhē plates for a Harry Potter-inspired Hogwarts’ houses skittle manicure. Four of the hēhē plates are themed around the Hogwarts’ houses. I don’t know how accurately they represent the house flags and crests as used in the […] Read more
I created these red and black tartan nails using Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-L006. I am quite obsessed with tartan at the moment. With a Scottish surname like Kerr – which is a clan name with its own tartan – you’d think I would always have been obsessed with tartan. But I am English, […] Read more
This red and black geometric stamping manicure is one of my favourites. I do love some geometric stamping; and plain and simple, without being too fussy, is always a winner with me. I painted a red base for this and then stamped over it in black. The red base is Barry M Sparkling Ruby, the […] Read more
I have a review of Nella Milano Matt Top Coat, shown with some matte red nails. I don’t know who Matt is, nor why he has a top coat. The usual spelling of the word is with an “e” … matte! The top coat is nice and smooth and glides on well. It takes just […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt today is to create nails inspired by our child. My 11-year old son is mad about cricket. He’s been playing since he was about five, and plays or trains several times a week, even through the winter. He’s just been accepted into the Surrey District squad too, so I’m very proud […] Read more
It’s geek week for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. I decided to create some Morse code nail art. I know geeky can mean having a serious fandom about something – as in being a Whovian or a Trekkie. But it also conjures up science, maths and computing and anything technical or complex. And you have […] Read more
Nella Milano Cabaret Charm is this week’s Nella Milano swatch. It’s a medium red with a very slight hint towards pink. It certainly looks slightly pink-leaning on the first coat, although in most artificial lighting it just looks red. I used two coats, which both dried quickly and had a lovely high shine. This is […] Read more
