    Coloured Dotticure on Black

    I felt like wearing black nails to match a white t-shirt. As funky as a simple black nail is, it suddenly needed something, and dots were screaming to me. So I did a measured dotticure with layered dots and masked off areas so the black still shone through. And it doubles as an entry to El Corazon dotticure comp that

    Love Letter Nail Comp with MoYou – with Mini Tutorial

    Thought I might enter a competition just for kicks. This month’s MoYou contest was to represent a set of nails that remind you of love letters. You had to use MoYou London stamping plates. So many plates, so many options, and I couldn’t decide what the heck to do, so I settled for skittles and lots of colour. Pix first,

    Vote 1 – Lee Lin Chin FTW!

    OK so in the Southern Land there is a TV and media awards night. Every year there is a bunch of TV types nominated for categories like Best Personality and Gold Logie (the big one) and other random categories. None that I can tell you about since it’s not the Emmy’s and I don’t pay that much attention. The point is

    Golden Glitter Gradient New Year Nails

    I for one am happy to be kicking 2015 to the curb, and embarking on a much improved 2016. In all areas. So to ring in the new season I recently went for a glam glitter gradient – gel nails of course, cos who wants to be getting shards of glitter falling into their celebratory Water on the Rocks, eh?
