I have lots of posts to publish, but I am rather behind due to having had flu and then, after that, a poorly husband who’s had six weeks with pneumonia. That is all, thankfully, now behind us and I can hopefully catch up and post everything I’ve been sitting on for the past few weeks. […] Read more
Birds is the theme for the Twinsie Tuesday prompt today. I’ve put some birds in a tree, after I saw this manicure by Wacky Lacki where she used the same Fake Tattoos of birds that I was planning to use. For the background, there was nothing better to start off with than Barry M Sky […] Read more
Yesterday’s Twinsie Tuesday prompt was “inspired by a city”. I’m from London, so I added to my gradient from yesterday and created some London skyline nails. My gradient yesterday looked a bit like a sunset, so I thought I’d create a silhouette skyline against it. I used one of the MoYou Nails square stamping plates […] Read more
The two prompts for week 27 (over half way – woohoo!) in the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are music and not worn enough. I’ve gone with music and done some purple and lilac music stamping. The base colour is Barry M Orchid. It’s one of the Silks collection and is supposed to be […] Read more

I’ve not ever done an Ikat pattern, so probably should have done, but I was short of time so went with metallic. Although the photos don’t really show it, both these polishes […] Read more
I’m extremely busy at the moment with work commitments, so nails are the last thing on my mind. It didn’t help today therefore when my first two efforts for “pale” in this week’s A2Z series challenge went completely wrong and I had to try again. I tried zigzags, but the polish was drying too quickly […] Read more
I’ve combined the two 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge prompts this week. They are “blue, yellow and green” and “geometric”. So, I’ve created a gradient using all Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes: Butter-fly Stroke, Lickety-Split Lime and Brisk Blue. Then I stamped over it with a geometric pattern from a new stamping plate I won. […] Read more
I was offered some items by MoYou Nails for review and chose a lilac stamping polish and a couple of plates. They also sent a stamper and scraper. I chose lilac as I already have white and black stamping polishes, so wanted to try out another colour. It stamped well for such a light colour […] Read more
