These pink and silver zigzags were painted quite some time ago now, back when my nails were a bit shorter. I used a base of piCture pOlish Allure, which is a bright magenta pink with a scattered holo. My photos don’t show the beautiful holographic effect sadly. I teamed it with OPI This Gown Needs […] Read more
This is Chanel Sunrise Trip with studs for Twinsie Tuesday, the prompt for which is studs or embellishments this week. Sunrise Trip is a gorgeous colour. It is a jelly polish in a deep purple, almost indigo colour. It is the first “Nail Gloss” that Chanel has launched, and is distinct from their “Nail Colour” […] Read more
China Glaze Ugly Sweater Party is the base for my glitter topper or flakie manicure for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge. My personal pattern this week is 3D or embellished, so I’ve added some triangular silver studs. I was going to add some Christmas trees, but the glitter itself is so blingy that […] Read more
This manicure is some stamped navy and silver roses, using Bundle Monster BM-XL07 and some silver tear-drop studs. The base for this is Barry M Drive Me Navy, one of the new Sunset polishes. These are like the CND Vinylux or the OPI Infinite Shine polishes. They are a hybrid of gel and traditional polish […] Read more

I bought Deceit along with three other polishes at the weekend. I was in an unfamiliar town, killing time while my son […] Read more
I had three untried jelly polishes to choose from for today’s Never-ending Pile challenge. I went with OPI Excuse Moi!, which came from the Muppets collection that was released at Christmas 2011. I wasn’t even into painting my nails then (I got hooked in the summer of 2012), but I bought this just recently, in […] Read more
I wanted to accent yesterday’s manicure, so decided to add some studs to it. I bought these square silver studs fairly recently, but hadn’t tried them out yet. Previously, I’ve used round studs, and been very happy with how they apply and how flat they lay on the nail, and these were just as good. […] 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
