I did some reverse stamping using a new stamping plate from Moyra, and created these pink and cream roses. Moyra is a relatively unknown brand in the UK at the moment. Their polishes were being sold in the UK via someone on a Facebook group about a year or more ago, but I don’t think […] Read more
I have some butterfly stamping decals for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. The colour theme this time is orange, purple and green, and my own pattern type is decals. So I’ve made some butterfly stamping decals, and have painted my butterflies in orange, purple and green. I don’t think there are any green butterflies are […] Read more
This week in the A2Z series challenge it’s K, and that means Kitchen Sink. A kitchen sink manicure is where you use “everything but the kitchen sink”. So it’s a bit like a skittlette, only all the nails are different, and you use a different technique for each one. Usually though, there is some sort […] Read more
Today I have some fab decals from Born Pretty Store. I used one of the simple designs, a blue and brown zig zag from design C072, over cream. I painted three coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff, top coated and let it dry, and then added the decals. This is only the second time […] Read more
I wore this manicure back in April, but forgot to post it until now. I painted it for my Mum’s 70th birthday celebrations, and I was going to do all my nails with the zigzags, but simply ran out of time and so I left it at just one accent nail. The orange is OPI […] Read more
I posted on Twitter the other day about being lacking in nailspiration. I seemed not to be able to think beyond stripes, chevrons and zig zags. Several kind people prompted me with some ideas, but I’ve come back to stripes. Again. I do love them. I got it into my head that cream stripes over […] Read more
The prompt for this month’s Polish Party is “inspired by another Polish Party member”. It’s been suggested for quite a few months now, but hasn’t won in our vote, so it’s good that it’s finally come around. There are so many talented nail artists to choose from, and I spent ages going through all the […] Read more
For today’s indie prompt in the Never-ending Pile challenge, I had so many polishes to choose from, and went with one I’ve been dying to wear, but just somehow haven’t got around to: Scofflaw This Must Be The Place. It’s a cream coloured base with pink and purple micro-glitters and small gold flakies. It’s very […] Read more
I had about three or four old corals to choose from for this week’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. I chose L’Oréal Dating Coral, which is a bright coral with a very subtle shimmer to it. I needed three coats for it to be opaque, but anyone less fussy than me might get away […] Read more
Right at the end of last year, Debbie from The Crumpet named mine as one of the blogs to watch in 2014. I felt so honoured to be named alongside some truly brilliant nail artists. And very flattered to be named as such by Debbie, who is the undisputed star of nail bogging in the […] Read more
