I was wearing Nails Inc Big Apple Red, which came as a freebie in December 2013’s Glamour magazine. And, as is usual for me with Nails Inc polishes, it had chipped. I was going to remove it, but instead decided to touch up the chips and add a glitter topper. This is Magic Goose Reindeer […] Read more
I have admired Gloss ‘n Sparkle’s Slowly Growing Deaf from afar for a while. I tried to get it in a blog sale, but failed. And then I came across it quite by chance on Rainbow Connection; I didn’t know they sold it! It’s a lovely pale blue, packed full of tiny silver and red […] Read more
After a week of Valentine’s nail art manicures, this is the polish I actually wore on Valentine’s Day. It’s Fusion, by Luv Polish, a UK indie polish maker. Fusion is quite sheer and jelly-like, so I chose L’Oreal Femme Fatale, a mid red, as undies. However, it too proved to be quite jelly-ish, so I […] Read more
I didn’t know where to start for the abstract theme for this week’s FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge. So I did what I always do when faced with something I’m not sure about … I Googled! I looked up abstract art and found a nice abstract painting to use as my inspiration. I was going to […] Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, I made it. I’ve posted every day for the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. Today’s final prompt calls for us to recreate someone else’s manicure or to do something freestyle. I tried a few different things out that I’d not done before, but they all failed, so in the […] Read more
I’ve actually followed the proper rules for today’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. Up until now, I have been using untried polishes, despite the idea about the GOT Polish Challenge being that you showcase not-used-in-a-long-time polishes. So for today, I’ve chosen Rimmel Rapid Ruby as my base colour. It was one of the first […] Read more
The theme for today in the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge is roses. I have mastered what I call “easy” roses, the ones that are done with a dotting tool. So I wanted to try out something a little different. I thought about doing some one-stroke art, but swiftly put that idea back […] Read more
It’s day 2 of the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge and the theme today is kisses. When I first started being interested in nails, I remember being struck by a lovely manicure with metallic pink and silver kisses on it. Of course, now that I want to refer to it, I can’t find […] Read more
I was going out for a meal with friends and was planning on wearing a red top, so I wanted some nails to match. I decided on a similar look to my blue and silver skittlette manicure that I did not long ago, but using red and gold instead. The red nails are two coats […] Read more
It’s dots today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. I was going to recreate my lovely dotted manicure that I did back last September and I pulled out some different colours to try out. But I couldn’t find a colour scheme that went well together at all. Then I spied some Ciaté polishes […] Read more
