The two challenge prompts for last week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge were: red and pink, or skittles. I chose to create some pink, red and white mini dotted flowers. My design is entirely inspired (copied!) from one done by Nail That Design. I used all Nella Milano polishes for this design. The pink […] Read more
The two themes for this week’s (well, last week’s) 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge are plaid and/or orange, red and green. I went for the colours and created a red, orange and green floral manicure. This is done with all Barry M polishes: Blood Orange (red), Satsuma (orange), Spring Green (green, obviously) and Cotton, […] Read more
I’ve gone for the bright and happy prompt for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge and have a stamped pink, orange and red gradient. The colours are certainly bright and happy, and the stamping image also seemed cheery to me. I created the gradient with Nella Milano polishes: Blushing Bloom (pink), Chilli Blaze […] Read more
This is a swatch of Nella Milano The Rubinator. It is an absolutely stunning, full-on red; a rich, tomato-red colour. I just love its name. In the words of Nella Milano, The Rubinator has been: “sent back through time to save humanity from dull colours and lifeless nails” It is slightly on the sheer side, […] Read more
I didn’t mange to post on time yesterday for the A2Z series challenge, and I’m a day late. It’s S this time, for silver. Firstly I painted my nails using W7 Silver Suede. This was given to be by my friend Michelle. She’s just got into painting her nails and has fallen hard, already setting […] Read more
I have a couple of new things for this week’s A2Z series challenge prompt, for N is for new; the red polish and the stamping plate are both new. The red is Ciaté Kitten Heels. I bought it for £1.50 in an Original Factory Shop that was closing down. It’s a lovely colour, but quite […] Read more
We’re half way through the A2Z series challenge, so that means it’s M this week. And M is for multi-coloured. I’ve used some diamond shaped glequins that I bought from Born Pretty Store. I forgot I had these. They look very striking on the nail though, so I’ll be using them again! There are all […] Read more
For this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge we’re supposed to do fishbraid or a non-glitter topper. So foils are a topper, right? Sort of. I think I’m stretching the theme here a bit! I don’t actually have any undies on beneath the foils; I simply applied them straight over my base coat. Thankfully, […] Read more
I forgot to post these nails last week. They’re what I wore on Christmas Day. But they could be New Year’s Eve nails though, right? The base looks black but it’s actually W7 Black Cherry, a very dark red. I don’t own Chanel Rouge Noir, but my guess is that this is W7’s take on […] Read more
I joined Polish Party a year ago, and so this is my twelfth manicure. The theme this month is Christmas jumpers (or sweaters for those of you of an American persuasion). It’s not an easy theme, and so far, with just a day of the month to go, it looks like I am the only […] Read more
