    Melted Chocolate Fluid Art for Valentine’s Day

    I kinda get sick of doing the stock standard cutesy, expected stuff for events and occasions sometimes, so I went a bit leftfield with this Valentine’s Day mani. And did Melted Chocolate Fluid Art nails. I used Sinful Colors Hypnotic Transforming Top Coat called Redrum. Beats spraying a massive can of silicone spray! Even if it is not as versatile

    Blooming Gel, Bows & Wine with Sherry Spark – with Born Pretty Review

    Blooming Gel, Wine & Ribbons, all wrapped up in a bow… Here’s a pre-Valentine’s mani using Sherry Spark by @opallacgelpolish as reviewed earlier in this post. A wine-coloured gel polish. Also with a review for Born Pretty Store Blooming Gel in White. I wanted an organic backdrop for the ribbon charm, so I was playing around with some white blooming gel which I’ll

    Opallac Sherry Spark – Gel Polish Swatch

    Who doesn’t love to match their nails to their wine, eh? 🍷😁 Since Valentine’s Day is not far off, I thought this gel polish #swatch would be apt. It is a nice, full-bodied kind of red for the collection. This wine-shaded, shimmery beauty is Sherry Spark from @opallacgelpolish 💖 I’ve tried to capture the shimmer of it so you can see, as it was

    Mani Swap Circle Jan 2018: Ultra Violet Nail Art

    Pantone’s Colour of The Year 2018 is – Ultra Violet. Which is perfect as I own lots of shades in this colour – unlike 2017’s colour Greenery!?!?! That was not my favourite.

    Black Gel with Neon Florals Nail Art

    I love a good neon-on-black mani that really makes the colours pop. I also love floral manis. No surprised there, eh? So thought I should combine the two into a lovely popping neon floral number. Rather than hand-painting it, I chose to stamp – partly due to time constraints and the fact I have these unused but lovely stamping plates!

    Stamping Plate Harunouta L034 Review – Born Pretty Store

    Yay, Sneaky WiFi! Thankfully I can lob on long enough to post this overdue snippet to Instagram and maybe schedule this post if the connections holds out. What a score 🙂 It’s so hard not being connected, as I need access to do basic things, so it’s not entirely ideal. CAN’T WAIT til things settle & I have proper net access

    Why it’s almost the end of the #31DC2017 (oh thank god!) and we’ve hit the 29th’s Inspired by Supernatural prompt.   I went with hand-painted symbols inspired by illustrated shadow-side imagery, the kind related to magic glyphs & tarot ✨ Look Ma, it’s matte!
