This mint green starburst needle drag is for last week’s 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme – I’m caught up finally! Mint green is the colour scheme for the week and my own prompt is needle drag. I have done a few needle drag manicures now, and I wanted to try a different pattern. This […] Read more
I have some spring flowers for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group today. I used some polishes from the OPI New Orleans Spring 2016 collection. The base is OPI She’s A Bad Muffuletta. I don’t understand the pun behind this polish name at all. I looked up muffuletta, because I had no idea what […] Read more
I recently reviewed a mint green from SpaRitual, called Caring. This is another polish from the same Nurture collection – this is SpaRitual Gentle. This beautiful soft cream colour has the merest hint of a touch of a whiff of a trace of pink to it. It’s absolutely delightful and I love it. It took […] Read more
In yesterday’s post I was moaning about green polishes and how I don’t like them … and today I have one on the blog! This is SpaRitual Caring. But this is a mint green, and so that means it’s an acceptable green to me! It comes from the latest SpaRitual collection, Nurture, a spring collection […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday group is doing mix and match manicures today. I haven’t heard that term applied to a nails look before, so I am not entirely sure if I’ve got this right. To me, it sounds like it should be a bit of a skittlette: the match being the same or similar colours, and […] Read more
The Twinsie Tuesday prompt today is inspired by your favourite food. And with that, I have some cucumber nails! Yes, I know it’s strange, but I shall explain. I had wanted to do some chillies on my nails to represent the spicy food like Thai curry that I love. But the chilli on my stamping […] Read more
Yesterday I reviewed Modern Craftsman, and today I’m wearing another polish from the same collection, SpaRitual Eye For Detail. It is a pearlescent, shimmery pale gold colour. The official SpaRitual information describes it as a cream colour. But I think it has too much sparkle and glow to be considered a cream. It is definitely […] Read more
Today I’m wearing SpaRitual Modern Craftsman, which comes from the new Pause collection for autumn 2015. It is a lovely regal purple colour, with red micro glitters. This manicure was perfect in two coats, but definitely needs a top coat to smooth out the glitters. I used just one top coat and although it felt […] Read more
These gold and black houndstooth French tips feature SpaRitual Tend as the base and are stamped with an image from Born Pretty Store BP-L013. I hadn’t intended for them to have French tips at first, but you’ll read why I added them in just a bit. Tend is a mustard coloured polish, with small gold […] Read more
SpaRitual has launched its new summer 2015 collection, called Gathering. It comprises six rich colours, including this one, Tend. Tend has an overall mustard-leaning gold colour. It has a yellowy-gold base and small gold flakies, which give a lovely shimmery finish. I tried painting this on its own at first, but it left some visible […] Read more
