Today’s theme in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge is about my least favourite colour: green. I don’t own very many green polishes, so I only had three oldies to choose from – and one of those could arguably be termed a blue. So with my limited choice, I decided to try a water […] Read more
It’s dots today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. I was going to recreate my lovely dotted manicure that I did back last September and I pulled out some different colours to try out. But I couldn’t find a colour scheme that went well together at all. Then I spied some Ciaté polishes […] Read more
It’s stripes today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. There are prompts ahead in the challenge for a number of colours, so where I can, I want to try not to use those specified colours in the styles challenges. So I decided – at first – to go with a red, black and […] Read more
This week in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge we’re doing geometric nails. I saw a fabulous picture on Pinterest of a funky coat (image further down), and that became my inspiration for this manicure. After applying a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I used hole reinforcer stickers so I could […] Read more
I am a bit gutted about today’s prompt for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Christmas Winter Challenge. You see it calls for a winter nature scene, and I have the perfect stamping plate for it. But I don’t really have it – not yet, anyway. There’s a beautiful image in the Bundle Monster Create Your Own […] Read more
Well, this is it. It’s the very last day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. Today, we can either do anything we like (freestyle) or we can recreate another manicure from the challenge. There have been so many brilliant manicures, but I really fell in love with a very simple, but really well […] Read more
Anticipating this day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge, I’ve been buying all sorts of nail charms and studs as I’ve come across them. But surprisingly in the end, I chose to go with some adornments that I’ve had for some while. I used silver holographic sequin discs that I got many months […] Read more
In another first, I’ve attempted to stamp French tips today. It’s not my best work, but then I don’t know many people who can get the French tips to stamp well. (That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!) I stamped using Essie Nothing Else Metals and Cheeky plate CH23 to stamp the stars over […] Read more
I spent an age this morning trying to decide what to put on my nails. No amount of rooting through my bottles of untried polishes or scanning my swatch wheels could help me choose. Finally, I just decided to wear an old favourite. I’ve worn Sinful Colors Daddy’s Girl before, but haven’t blogged about it. […] Read more
