31DC2016 Day 06: Violet Crumble
Read moreDay 6 and I haven’t skipped a beat. Though the arhythmias this box packing is giving me perhaps have. Today is late but better late than never right? The prompt is Violet aka Violet Crumble cos the stamp I used looked like some kind of futuristic honeycomb. Sort of. And technically it’s more of a purplish shade than violet if you

31DC2016 Day 05: Blue Hoo, Don’t Cry
Read moreDay 5 and I’m 5 for 5! All things considered, that’s pretty good so far. Since I’m knee deep in boxes and thought it’d be far less than that. Today is Blue and whilst I got something done, it was short and sweet stamping. I’ve titled this one “Blue Hoo, Don’t Cry” because it was the punniest pun I could

31DC2016 Day 04: Green Around The Gills
Read moreDay 4 of the 31 Day hallenge already! And we are at Green. So here is a super easy dry brush, brush stroke-y Green Around The Gills.

Read moreWelcome to Orange County. A stripey Cubist dream. Day 2 and I have some Cubist stripes up my sleeve for the 31 Day Challenge. I’ll keep the text a little brief this morning as I have so much to do and kind of got a little carried away yesterday. And given how much I have to do, I can’t let

31 Day Challenge 2016! (Well, Sort Of)
Read moreTime again for this year’s 31 Day Challenge 2016! (Well, Sort Of). Well sort of because I am inundated! More on that in a bit. I have made time to do a few simple nails, but haven’t had time to watermark/crop or edit videos, let alone post anything. So excuse my absence. Hopefully it makes your heart grow fonder…? Things have definitely been

Summer Sun Salutations – Textured Beach Nails
Read moreDespite the fact that in my hemisphere I am longing for the warm weather, some Sunny Beach nails are sometimes enough to while those cold days away. See below for more deets on this Summer Sun Salutations – Textured Beach Nails thang… I’ve had to go back to shorter-but-not-short nails that are far more manageable from a ‘packing boxes’ perspective.

Ane Li RIP – Tribute (Part 2)
Read moreToday’s post is a tribute post in memory of @ane_li – a highly talented young nail artist from Norway who recently lost her battle with depression 💔 I’m not alone in disbelief at the loss of someone so talented and young, nor the sadness that reverberated throughout the nail community with such news. For her final act, she scaled the peak of #PolishMountain to

Ane Li RIP – Thoughts On Social Behaviour
Read moreBelow is a note I posted on the issues surrounding the downsides of social media and how people behave. This is posted mostly verbatim from IG, but thought it was appropriate to post here as well. Because posts on Insta get pushed down with time.
