Born Pretty Multichrome Powder & Flat Brush Review
Read moreSo I didn’t get to finish the 31 Day Challenge after things got too hectic, after macerating 3 nails on my photo hand, and pretty much not having time. I will catch up on seeing what the rest of those who participated did when I get a chance. I am STILL packing and stuff…ready for when. So today is another

31DC2017 Day 27: Artwork – Robotnik Mixed Media Sculpture
Read moreI’ll leave this here. Just quickly popping by to post the #31DC2017Day 27 prompt: inspired by an artwork. Instead of choosing an artist I like, this year I went 3D! I’m sorry for the delays, I’ve got far too much going on and need to look after myself above all else, but the tech issues didn’t help me! Fixed now, so

Born Pretty Metallic Dual Use Nail Stencils – Review
Read moreDang, I see this post did not post as scheduled. As I have been out of action and without devices and internet for a little while due to boxing, packing and a multitude of tech issues, I shouldn’t be surprised haha. But since I have just noticed, now I have been able to log on to someone else’s interwebs, here

31DC2016 Day 25: Fashion – Tropical Spring
Read moreToday’s prompt is Fashion. Day 25 and I was inspired by a Tropical Spring kind of print on an item I saw in a department store. Cannot for the life of me find the photo I thought I took. As you know, it’s been pretty hectic around this neck of the woods. I did a gradient stamp over white in

31DC2016 Day 22: A Song – Bowie
Read moreNot a single song so much as tribute. ~10 months ago the world lost a legend. David Bowie, so I’ve done a tribute nail to kind of all his songs and his last album Blackstar. Just because. So day 22’s Song prompt comes with artistic license of the kind David Bowie took in his art. On fakies because I

31DC2016 Day 21: A Colour – Black Heart
Read moreBlack Heart is the theme for today’s prompt in the 31 Day Challenge – which is Inspired by a Colour. This day I went with black. Classic, sleek, and time saving! I used Cuccio gel polish – it’s colour rich in two coats and lasts for a decent length of time on me if wearing normally for longer than a

31DC2016 Day 20: Water Marble – Sorta
Read moreHello! Miss me? I did, no knowing where I was from one moment to the next and rushing around like The Flash…it was hard to catch up with myself. Enough of that, I am back for the 20th installment of the 31 Day Challenge, which I had to stop suddenly. Lucky I did this water marble. Because I had a

31DC2016 Day 11: Polka Dots – Goin Dotty
Read moreI’m most definitely going dotty on this 11th day of the 31 day challenge. The exhaustion is strong. Not from manis, but the combination of mani’s, packing and not enough sleep. My poor hands are so dry and wrecked from all the boxing – even with gloves. So a simple tip of confetti is what we have for today. Dotting

31DC2016 Day 10: Gradient – Sunset
Read moreDay 10 and still clinging on! This has amazed me. Today’s prompt of Gradient is based on one I’ve done before using the same colours: Sunset. I always wanted to do it matte though so this was the chance. This is my favourite as it’s all mattified. I used vinyl zig zags and sponged on the colours using a make-up

31DC2016 Day 09: Rainbow Fright
Read moreDay 9 of this Challenge is Rainbow. I name him Rainbow Fright (instead of Rainbow Bright) as it is a bit horriffic. It was never going to see the light of day, and was done before I had to trim the nails back down due to all this packing. So the nail length is not due to the spilling of liquid

31DC2016 Day 08: Metallic – Metallic-ahh! (& Born Pretty Chrome Review)
Read moreDay 8 of the 31 Day Challenge already?? Yikes. And the prompt being Metallic, I’ve named it Metallic-ahh! And of course I HAD TO USE ALL THE CHROME! “ChRomeo, chRomeo! Were art thou, chRomeo?” Ooh, on my fingertips! It’s mirrored in real life but was hard to capture without all the reflection going on and obstructing the imagery I added.

31DC2016 Day 07: B&W – Geometric
Read moreShort. Sweet. Geometric. That’s all we have for Day 7’s Black and White prompt. At least I am now 7 for 7, considering my earlier lowered expectations for being able to do the 31 Day Challenge for 2016. Yay, me! I like high contrast with the dark and light properties of black and white so opted for a simple and
