I love Nails Inc Devonshire Row. This is a real cheer me up colour. It’s not one of my untrieds, but it is an un-blogged polish. I bought it back in April last year, when I first started to do my nails. I wasn’t at the obsession stage then. I was just dipping my toe […] Read more
I have so much that I want to put on my nails that I can rarely leave a manicure alone. And today is no different: yesterday’s plain old brown has been stamped on. Today’s theme in the Facebook Adventures in Stamping group is light over a dark base. I already had the dark base (Beauty […] Read more
I was completely stumped about what manicure to do today. Yesterday, I created my kitchen sink manicure, but the base coats had been on for a few days longer than that and it was beginning to get some tip wear. So although I only posted it today, it was time to remove it and do […] Read more
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’ve entered my very first nail art contest! It’s run by Debbie Crumpet and is aimed at those who either don’t have a blog, or those that do have a blog, but where it has fewer than 50 followers. Debbie was one of the very first bloggers I started following and I love how active she […] 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
I signed up a while ago for all the upcoming nail polish co-buys on BuyaPowa. I haven’t bought any of them yet, as they haven’t particularly appealed to me, but this one, a set of 4 mini Essie polishes from their Winter 2012 collection is very tempting … The site describes them thus: Shall I or shan’t I? I’m […] Read more
I’ve tried water marbling once before. Just once. About four months ago, when my nail polish obsession was just in its infancy. It was abysmal. The technique seemed to work well but the polishes I used just didn’t and so I parked the idea of water marbling altogether, thinking I’d perhaps revisit it if I […] Read more
Still attempting to use my untrieds, I wanted to stamp on yesterday’s manicure with my Barry M Nail Effects Lilac Foil. I’ve tried to use this before, but couldn’t get it to stamp well, and just put it down to perhaps a dodgy image. I’ve read so many blogs where people have posted that it’s […] Read more
