And so the second round of the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge gets underway, and the first theme is pastel. I have only a handful of old pastels and Revlon Lilac Pastelle seemed to jump out at me, calling to be used. Inspired by an image on Pinterest (see below), I created an accent […] Read more
And so the FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge rolls onto part two. And we have some more themes to pick from. These were all suggested by members of the Facebook group (I was too slow and didn’t get round to posting any ideas). This week is actually either the end of the last set of challenges, […] Read more
I’ve been wanting to do a stamping decal for a while now. I have used a similar method to more easily put a hand drawn image on my nails, which is how I did my Roobarb & Custard nails. But I’ve not done it with a stamp yet. I had been searching through my stamping […] Read more
For the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge this week, the theme is yellow or peach. I don’t have many of either polish, so it was fairly easy to choose one to use. I left this manicure very much to the last minute, without much idea of what I was going to do. I had […] Read more
Today’s theme in the the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is purple; one of my favourite colours. I chose to do a splatter manicure with some purples over white. I started off using Ciate Cabaret, which comes from the 2012 advent calendar, and which is one of my favourite purples. Then I added Greige […] Read more
It’s dots and stripes in this week’s FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge. I was inspired to do this manicure by a dress I saw. At first I created the stripes only, and it looked like the Pizza Express branding – no bad thing seeing as I was eating out at Pizza Express that evening with friends, […] Read more
For this week’s theme in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge I’ve done a turquoise and navy skittle. I’ve used two old Ciate polishes that came with their 2012 advent calendar: Headliner, which is turquoise, and Power Dressing, which is navy. I love both these colours. I’ve teamed them with white and used a […] Read more
It’s flowers this week in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge. I do love doing bright dotted flowers manicures, but the weather’s not quite warm and sunny enough for me to feel like doing that just yet. I also like to try to use these challenges to stretch myself a bit. Hence how I found myself […] Read more
I don’t own many orange polishes at all, so the prompt today for the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge was always going to be a toughie. Ultimately, I’ve done a (fairly rubbish) taped manicure using Nails Inc Porchester Place. I bought this polish along with three others when I was just becoming interested in […] Read more
For the cute theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge I have always been intending to do these nails. These are Japanese kawaii animals (kawaii means cute). Think Hello Kitty and Pikachu and you’re there. I couldn’t find any references for four characters I loved, so I mixed and matched some ideas I saw on […] Read more
