Red, White and Blue Striped Nails | Twinsie Tuesday

This week’s Twinsie Tuesday prompt calls for us to recreate a manicure from another of the Twinsie Tuesday participants. I chose a pretty red, white and blue striped manicure. Before that, I had spent a fun hour or so scrolling through blogs and Instagram accounts to choose something to recreate. There was lots of very […] Read more

Purple shimmer and creme with striping tape: W is for: Wild With Passion and Wine And Dine

It’s letter W this week in the A to Z series challenge. I couldn’t decide between two purple Ws, so I used them both to create a half and half manicure with some striping tape inthe middle. The cream on the top half of the nail is NYC Wild With Passion. It’s a red-toned purple, […] Read more

GOT Polish Challenge: Orange: Orange and White Stripes using Nails Inc Porchester Place

For today’s theme, I always knew I wanted to do a gradient with a white pattern using striping tape. I’ve seen lots of people […] Read more

Black manicure with sparkly red stripe French tips

I wore a red top to my son’s school Speech Day (prize giving day) yesterday and matched it by wearing China Glaze Ruby Pumps. Today I wanted to switch things up a bit and do something that I could also blog about. (I’ve blogged about Ruby Pumps before). I decided to add striping tape near […] Read more

New Year’s Nails

We’re going to friends tonight for drinks, then coming home for a nice meal (before probably dozing on the sofa to Hootenanny and then being woken by the fireworks at midnight!). And tomorrow we are out for a meal with some other friends. So I want to do some New Year’s nails, but I’m not […] Read more
