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
I’m late …. again! I really must try to ignore the real world demands and stay on top of the blogging! This Twinsie Tuesday manicure of multicoloured zigzags is inspired by fabric. I saw a pin on Pinterest (see below) with these colours on a pocket. I don’t know what the rest of the garment […] Read more
We’re finally at the end of the A2Z series challenge. Twenty-six weeks after starting and we’re at Z, which is for zigzags. Wanting to do something a little different, I created some pink scaled gradient zigzags. I’ve not used the scaled gradient technique before. It’s an effective look, created I believe by Cristine of Simply […] 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
The prompts for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge this week are crinkly tape and glitter topper. I’ve gone for the crinkly tape option and used a curvy zigzag sticker to create this look. The base is Ciaté Encore!, a muted orange creme that was unworn until today. It won’t stay that way though, […] Read more
I have another smART nails stencils manicure today. This one is P017, and I don’t really know how to describe it. It’s a sort of zigzag, but looks like some scary pointed fang teeth as well! Actually, I’ve just checked on the smART nails website, and they’re called “big teeth”, so I was right! I […] 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
I wore this manicure back in April, but forgot to post it until now. I painted it for my Mum’s 70th birthday celebrations, and I was going to do all my nails with the zigzags, but simply ran out of time and so I left it at just one accent nail. The orange is OPI […] Read more
I’ve not had much time recently to do too much on my nails, and so nail art on the blog has been a little sparse. I’ve also found myself lacking in inspiration, which is possibly due to having stopped doing the challenges I was following. When you have too much choice of what to do, […] Read more
I meant for this manicure to have more than just a ring finger accent. I was going to do both the centre nails plus my thumbs with the zigzags, but I was really busy at the weekend and I just didn’t have the time. So, it’ll have to stay as just a one fingernail accent, […] Read more
