These blue geometric glitter nails were inspired by a manicure I saw by Paulina of Paulina’s Passions. I saw it and thought I’d love to create something similar but using blue – but I don’t like my manicure half as much as I like hers. I think it’s probably because the glitter is more prominent on […] Read more
I’m a little late in posting these peach roses as it has been back to school for my son this week, and that has meant I’ve been running around with lots to do to get him sorted and ready. These nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group, where the colour prompt was […] Read more
These multicoloured floral nails, reminiscent of “flower power”are for the festivals / hippie travels prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. I wasn’t sure at first what direction to take with this prompt. Admittedly, I was born in the year the term “hippie” became widespread, the year of the Human Be-In and the […] Read more
These nautical nails are for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group. The theme this week is holidays or seaside or the beach and I’ve done a nautical take on the prompt. My husband hankers after a sailing holiday, and would love to sail around the Caribbean, but I prefer to keep that to the […] Read more

I’m still very late in posting my nails – these were not for Tuesday as in yesterday, but for Tuesday last week. I’ve used all four of the recently launched Molten Metals from Barry M. They […] Read more

Paisley Flow is a collection of ten square, buffet-style plates that carry on from where the Shangri-La collection left off. It has some brilliant open images, which are great for colouring […] 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 some butterfly stamping decals for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. The colour theme this time is orange, purple and green, and my own pattern type is decals. So I’ve made some butterfly stamping decals, and have painted my butterflies in orange, purple and green. I don’t think there are any green butterflies are […] Read more
It’s stripes or pastel for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge so I have some yellow, black and white stripes and flowers nails. I started off trying to paint some black and white stripes over the yellow base, which is China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin. But it just wasn’t working and looked a mess. […] Read more
