It’s the penultimate challenge week in the A2Z series challenge. So, we’re at Y, which is for You. Well, not you … me. That’s how I interpreted it anyway. And I have done some blue with silver chevrons nails. I spent ages trying to think of what best represented me. I’ve done plenty of manicures […] Read more
I’ve used some textured glitter for T is for textured in the A2Z series challenge this week. Both polishes are from the 2true Sequins collection and are Eva, which is the blue one, and Naomi, the purple one. I have one other nail polish from this 5-part collection; it’s the silver one, called Christy. I’ve […] Read more
This is a skittlette I created to wear out with a matching cyan blue top. In the event though, I managed to dribble toothpaste down the top just before we left and so had to change what I was wearing. Typical. The blue is Barry M Cyan Blue, a perfect formula, near single coater. It […] Read more

This is a second polish from the latest collection from SpaRitual. It’s Tango, from the Dance collection. I did three coats for this, and it definitely needed it. It’s much more sheer than Cha Cha Cha. Although I did do thin coats, and could probably have achieved opaque coverage in two thick coats. This is […] Read more
I really enjoyed this manicure that I created for day 6 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. Finally, I am wearing a manicure on all of my nails – not just four – and I will be keeping it on for several days, rather than swiftly removing it after deciding I don’t like […] Read more
Believe it or not, this is the very first textured manicure I have worn. I only own a few textured polishes. I have the black and white Barry M sequin effects ones, which I swatched but didn’t like enough to keep on my nails. And I also own one of the OPI Liquid sand polishes, […] Read more
