Some of my lovely Twitter friends are doing an Everything But The Kitchen Sink Manicure challenge. The challenge is fairly straightforward: on Saturdays in January you do your nails in an “everything but the kitchen sink” fashion. That basically means that you do a mismatched manicure where all (or nearly all) the nails are different. If you want to see […] Read more
I received nail mail from MUA the other day and was excited to try it out. Apart from some polishes, I also ordered some of their new “Fur-Effects Nails” products. These are little pots of flocking powder – and they’re great value at only £2. It’s really easy to apply. First you just use a […] Read more
I really didn’t want to take off my lovely For Audrey manicure with accent water marble. But it had stayed on for longer than I usually leave my manicures and had finally got a few tiny chips. So I removed it last night and set about doing a new manicure. It was quite late – […] Read more
We’re going to friends tonight for drinks, then coming home for a nice meal (before probably dozing on the sofa to Hootenanny and then being woken by the fireworks at midnight!). And tomorrow we are out for a meal with some other friends. So I want to do some New Year’s nails, but I’m not […] Read more
I can’t seem to get enough of glitter at the moment, but this manicure didn’t start off that way. I started with a base of Revlon Dreamer, which is a lovely pale cornflower blue. I was going to stamp over it with a darker teal, but I just couldn’t get the stamping right, even after […] Read more
My son absolutely loved Electrify when I first bought it around Halloween time and has been nagging me to use it ever since. I think it’s more suited to Christmas time and the accompanying party season though, and it finally got used today. Electrify is a mix of medium gold and red glitter, with some […] Read more
My all time favourite red is All Fired Up from Revlon. It’s just a classic, perfect shiny red and I love it. But I can’t seem to find it any more, and my bottle is half empty (or is it half full?) I read somewhere on a blog that it has been rebranded and that […] Read more
I popped into Boots this morning – not for nail polish for a change – but of course I couldn’t help but have a quick look at them all, could I? And I’m glad I did because there are a few offers on that I took advantage of. Firstly, Revlon polish is on offer. When […] Read more
I was loving my snowflake nails, but they chipped. Typically I just re-paint the chip and all is good, but because it’s the weekend, and we are stuck in with builders sorting out our hallway floor, I have plenty of time today to do a new manicure. Sometimes it takes me an age to decide […] Read more
Hello. (I think I’m only talking to myself at the moment, though!) I’ve recently become rather addicted to nail polish. I’ve been sharing my manicures on Facebook and I’ve mainly been boring or annoying most people. Judging by some of the comments, some of my friends seem to think that I am not busy or […] Read more
