Zoya – Yuna, Swatch and Review
Read moreFantastic for Fall. Awesome for Autumn! This is Zoya Yuna, from the Fall 2014 Ignite Collection. It’s dark and moody and loads of fun! Before I continue, I should excuse my slight absence. I haven’t been in the best of health, and had many things crop up; ergo I am way, way behind in planned posts and painting. Openings and whatnot. Hopefully

Funky Leopard Nails in White and Gold
Read moreIt’s been at least several months since I donned any animal print nail art, so after some deliberation I decided to run with Leopard print nails. I wanted to try out this white shade of Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy – Sure Thing, so that was the base of this art. I wanted something more bold and opted for a golden bronze

Quick Mani Monday – Kit Glitter Topper Testing
Read moreJust a quick road test of one of several glitterlicious glitter top coats I got for Xmas.

Purple Pythagorean Nails – Quick Post
Read moreJust a quick post today. Look away now if you have an aversion to feet. As purple toes with triangle glitters is the nail art du jour – or rather the toe-nail art. After wearing sparkles over the Festive season, matte glitter seemed like a great option. In fact I love triangles – and have done long before they were re-purposed

Happy Nail Year 2015
Read moreIt’s a New Year and I for one am ECSTATIC to see the arse end of 2014! Don’t let that double bi-fold, impenetrable stainless steel door hit you on the way out hehe… ‘Twas a doozy indeed – not just for me but for a great many people that I know. But yeah, especially in my opinion. I mean I

OPI Fifty Shades Of Grey Collection – coming Jan 2015
Read moreI can’t say I’m a huge fan of the books, though I do love a good grey polish. Which, by the way makes me glad his name happens to be Mr Grey, and not Mr Pink, Mr Lavender or Mr Peach. So I do like the look of some of this 6-piece collection. Due out in January of 2015, there is

Festivus / Christmas Nails over piCture pOlish Escapades
Read moreAfter swatching piCture pOlish’s Esapades, I did a little Christmas nail art in anticipation of the festive season. So I’m posting this a little late, but I’ve been a little ill and had some tech issues with tetchy interwebs and phones and all, so better late than never, right? And it’s still not here just quite yet, so you know,
piCture pOlish Escapades – Swatches & Review
Read moreFrom the several recently released ‘blogger collaboration’ lacquers from piCture pOlish, there were quite a few greens. I have to say this stood out to me and was was one of my favourites of the new releases. This was in conjunction with Malene from Nail Escapades – a blogger from Denmark. Nice job on the outcome! If you look at the bottle

Naught for November 2014
Read moreAfter being off to a flying start, post-August potholes, there’s been a further little hiccup. A so called spanner in the works that left me unable to continue with the existing plan for the end of this year. I ended up very seriously hospitalised and am still recovering, which I will be forced to do for a little while. I
