Tropical Palms Gradient – Birthday Nails for Jill (Glisten & Glow)
Read moreI have the 2nd of two birthay nails for the week. This time it’s Tropical Palms Gradient – Birthday Nails for Jill (Glisten & Glow). Whose top coats I use like they’re going out of style. I’m not the only one. Her favourite colour is apparently pink, but I didn’t have any pinks from her brand (mainly cos I

A Wintery Mrs De Winter, or Holy Holo, A-England!
Read moreThis one is for all the holo lovers. I’ve named it A Wintery Mrs De Winter, or Holy Holo, A-England! Because this polish is both sumptuous and holo-tastic! Or as I’d imagine the posh aristocrats in 1800s England would exclaim upon seeing it: “By god, Jeeves! Get me more!” Mrs De Winter is a neutral classic. A softly muted grey taupe –

MoYou London Earrings Contest, Entry 1 Nail Stamping
Read moreAdding these here for posterity – my MoYou London Earrings Contest, Entry 1 Nail Stamping. This was the entry that won me a voucher (yay!) and what a nice surprise. Thought I’d missed out given it originally ended on the 30th Dec 2018 (after being changed from the 23rd Dec). But was changed again to the 6th Jan 2019 and

DISCO BALL New Year’s Eve Nails 2019
Read moreDISCO BALL New Year’s Eve Nails – these are the nails I did for NYE 2019! 🎉🎉 I used metallics in a gradient, with diamond glitters to represent a shiny disco ball. They were placed individually and weren’t the most uniformly cut pieces, but I persisted as I liked the colour payoff. The white nails were going to have

Freehand Xmas Holly Berries in Picture Polish
Read moreHAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🎁 (to all who partake)!! These are my simple Xmas Holly Berry nails – I was having a Picture Polish fest and used several shades in their range.

Well I’m a day late and a dollar short, but it is that time of the year and we can’t forget the non-Christmas types now, can we? I even created a foil Pole symbolic of Festivus customs (see below), adorned with a crystal to create the “i” in the

YOU’RE SUCH A SNOWFLAKE – Snowflake Nails
Read moreBack with a Winter warmer. I called this one: YOU’RE SUCH A SNOWFLAKE ❄️❄️❄️ Sure, it’s seasonally inappropriate in places where Summer reigns, but each season warrants an obligatory Snowflake nail design – no matter what the climate. White Christmases are the best! Was going to add flakies, but couldn’t bend to get them out, but I combined matte &

Leaf Me Alone – Stamped Autumn Mani
Read moreI finally have more nail art for you – a mani I named: Leaf Me Alone – Stamped Autumn Mani that was supposed to be shown before it changed seasons. But you know how it is when things go haywire. Pretty much summarises my entire end of 2018 haha. I really liked how this turned out. I did it
