Morgan Taylor Up In The Air-Heart is an absolutely beautiful shade and one of my new go-to favourites when I’m not sure what to put on my nails. It’s from the Sweetheart Squadron Collection for autumn. The six-polish collection is inspired by female aviators and includes some lovely shades. I even love the green one! […] Read more
The 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group theme this time around is “nude and colour”. My personal prompt is patchwork, so it was easy enough for me to do some patchwork nails that incorporated some colours and a nude polish. I used the patchwork stamp on Bundle Monster plate BM-607 to make some stamping decals. […] Read more
I’m slowly catching up! These floral wedding nails for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group were due almost two weeks ago. I’m only just making it into the Inlinkz linkup! I didn’t really know what to do for the wedding theme. I have done a number of pale stamped lace manicures before that I […] Read more
I have some (rather belated) pastel and negative space curved chevrons nails for last week’s “negative space” prompt for Twinsie Tuesday. I’ve never much liked negative space manicures as my nails are so stained. They’re not too bad at the cuticle end, but by about half way down, they start to get very yellow. You […] Read more
The prompt a little while ago (yes, I’m late again!) for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas group was music. I stamped some musical notes onto a gradient to create these baby boomer music nails. The base is a French tips gradient of nude and white, to create “baby boomer” nails. Baby boomer nails were […] Read more
After several months of secrecy, I can now reveal that I was lucky enough to be selected to take part in Picture Polish FEST 2015. In case you’re not aware of it, each year since 2011 Picture Polish has created a bit of a blog fest, with bloggers creating nail art or doing swatches with […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Moon Whisper. It is a very delicate, refined pale pink shade; perfect for French manicures and wedding nails. It’s very sheer. This took four coats and still isn’t opaque. Normally I’m not keen on visible nail line, but there’s something about this colour and its delicacy that […] Read more
It’s letter N this week in the A to Z series challenge. I have lots of polish beginning with N, but I’ve gone with Barry M Nude and a simple French manicure. The tips were created using one coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, applied with the help of some Nailene French manicure guides. […] Read more
There are three free Nails Inc polishes with June 2014’s InStyle magazine (out now). It’s a Brazilian-themed collection, with a bright pink, a darkish coral, and a creamy nude. I don’t much like Nails Inc polishes as they always chip on me, but I was taken enough by the colour of the nude polish that […] 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
