    Art Deco Stamping on Negative Space

    Followers know that negative space is one of my signature styles (one of many haha) and today we have Art Deco Stamping on Negative Space in neutral colours. I went for simple and have several art deco plates that have yet to be used, so this is how I decided to use it. I stamped and made reverse decals, finishing with

    3D Sugared Lace Nails in White on Purple Gel Polish

    Today I thought I’d combine one of the more recent gel polish trends, Sugared Lace Nails in White on the Purple I showed you earlier this week. Sugared lace nails are a 3D effect that combine gel and acrylic to render a textured effect. In this case lace, but you can manipulate it into whatever your mind imagines. Shall we? This

    Colour Blocked Picture Polish Nail Art Challenge

    Here’s my quick entry for Picture Polish’s Nail Art Challenge 1, 2017.

Nope.) I only just saw. So yah, only just saw

    Floss Gloss’ Orange Neon with Stamped Leaves

    Floss Gloss International Hot Girl’s Neon Orange with Stamped Leaves in white. Just a quickie from recently. Am cross posting it here because as you know, since Instagram got ‘Facebooked’ (ie; ‘improved’ with a terrible algorithm) the reliability of seeing everything on is rare. Despite their assurances.
