    Mauve & White Basic Gradient

    I probably should have posted this before the art-worked post of the other day, but given everything it didn’t quite work out that way. So here it is. A few images of the base colours used. I used Fifth Avenue from China Glaze, an untried I had there that was ready and waiting for a cold day. I really love

    Mauve Gradient Stamping with UberChic Plates Set 4

    So where did that week go? Not sure about you but I got inundated! And pulled my back out on top of all the things, so I’m posting this one rather late. Haven’t been able to laptop thanks to the two positions I can be in – completely horizontal or vertical with minimal bends involved. Time for some stamping fun.

    Sugar Skulls & Pet’la Calaveras Plate Review for Dia de los Muertos

    We go from dead things (Halloween Zombies) to dead things (for Day of the Dead). Yes I know it was a few days past the occasion, but I like sugar skulls anytime! That and I do have to space out my posts; even if I’ve been wearing these ones for days, but didn’t have the energy to sort and upload regardless.

    Dead Zombie Nails for Halloween

    Thought I’d have one last hurrah in the Halloween Nail Designs Department™ and went all out with some Dead Zombie Hands. Hands that have clawed their way through the dirt to get where they are, in true walking dead style. Feeling a bit peckish, got some brains? BRAAAAIIIIINSS!! I kept the heart from the previous mani cos it seemed suited

    31 Day Challenge 2015 Finisher (yes a bit late)

    I only just noticed that these were posted on Sarah @ Chalkboard Nails’ blog from a week ago, so of course I had to grab one. Thus I’m a week late to the party. I finished the 31 Day Challenge weeks ago and after a short break have well and truly moved onto Halloween themed manis since completing this; but it’s

    All Keen for Halloween

    I was all looking forward to Halloween this time last year and after things went seriously pear-shaped, ended up missing the entire thing!? So I am doing at least a couple. I do get sick of incorporating orange into everything halloweeny. Unless I’m donning gels (or gel polish) I am not one who can wear the same shade continuously. The

    Negative Space with Hot Pink & White for Breast Cancer!

    October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and on Wednesdays We Wear Pink (well, those who wear pink may wear pink). My love affair with pink is not really that strong you might have guessed, though I do love a hot pink nail, and for a good cause any colour favouritism goes right out the window. So here is a negative

    Ulta3 Superstar Collection – Spring/Summer 2015, Swatch & Review

    I picked up these from a chemist by chance. They are an Aussie brand Ulta3 (similar to NYX). They had some decals and stickers available – themed to match with the ‘star’ theme. And galactic metallics that ‘shimmer and shine’ in this collection. Let’s take a look. (I’m sorry, my poor fingers are a bit battered and not looking the best so

    Hurrah! 31 Day Challenge 2015 Round Up

    Happy October !! Well that was a hectic September, huh? You could think of all the sleep you could have had, the movies you could have watched, the chores you should have done with the time spent on ‘nailing it’ this past month, but it would not nearly have been as rewarding as seeing it through and actually making it
