For the glitter placement prompt for Twinsie Tuesday, I have some diamond glitter half moons, and a review of a new (to me) polish brand. I’ll start with the polish first. This pastel blue is Ice Ice, Baby! from benecos. There are eighteen colours to choose from, and 6 of those are new, as part […] Read more
Anticipating this day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge, I’ve been buying all sorts of nail charms and studs as I’ve come across them. But surprisingly in the end, I chose to go with some adornments that I’ve had for some while. I used silver holographic sequin discs that I got many months […] Read more
I’ve not done a reverse glitter gradient before – I’ve only ever done a gradient at the tips end. To my Chanel Malice manicure, I firstly added some red glitter: Ciaté Enchanted Rose. It was one of the special edition polishes that came in last year’s advent calendar. It was gloopy as anything and I […] Read more

Three of my nails have a base of OPI I Have A Herring Problem, which I was wearing yesterday; the other two have Nina Silver Slipper. I started by adding the silver hearts to my ring […] 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 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
