31DC2014 Day 11: Polka Dots
Read moreFeeling dotty? Today is Polka Dot day. Are we already on Day 11? Sheesh. I’m getting in early today. Five fingers and five different pastel colours for this dotticure on a naked base. I used the Ulta3 pastel minis set for these. I was intending to make them matte, but got distracted by the 15 other things I was doing

31DC2014 Day 10: Gradient
Read moreDay 10 and not much time or energy left, so this one, withe the GRADIENT theme was done rather hurriedly. Therefore it’s a kinda shitty, slightly gritty gradient. Intentionally gritty because I like texture, so I use a particular sponge and dab it on when the polish is tacky. Yah, I ran out of time so it’s far from perfect, but I

31DC2014 Day 09: Rainbow – Nauseated Unicorn
Read moreToday is day 9 of the 31 Day Challenge and soldier on we are! Nearly a third of the way through, and despite having done most of that over a weekend playing catch-ups, today’s theme is RAINBOW. I call this one ‘Nauseated Unicorn’ – because that is exactly what it looks like. What started out as one thing, morphed into

31DC2014 Day 08: Metallic
Read moreDay 8 into the 31 Day Challenge. I’m up to date and playing at home in real time. Today we have Metallic as the theme. A favourite of mine for sure. Nothing like some finger-bling. Today I went for a shiny silver combo which includes the fitting polishes Color Club’s Harp On It – a silver linear holo, and OPI My Signature is

31DC2014 Day 07: B&W
Read moreDay 7: Black and White. Didn’t have a lot of time so this was done really quickly – like you can’t tell hehe. Black freehand illustration over a slightly off-white base – since pure snow white is quite stark, not because I was painting in the dark and picked up the wrong colour or anything. The base is OPI My Vampire

31DC2014 Day 06: (Not-So-Shrinking) Violet
Read moreFor Day 6’s theme, VIOLET, I thought I should try an untried. OPI’s Don’t Violet Me Down. It’s a sheer top coat from the OPI Sheer Tints collection. I built it up layer by layer to get a dark colour gradation. And gah! I have almost nearly caught up to date…

31DC2014 Day 04: Green – Green with Envy
Read moreDay 4 for of the 31 Day Challenge is GREEN. And yes, I am almost caught up! Here I went Green with Envy in a forest green hue. The polish used is Essence 179 Roller Coaster. For such a tiny bottle I actually quite like the Essence brushes – wider brushes are great for easy coverage IMHO, and is something

31DC2014 Day 03: Yellow
Read moreJust a quickie today. For the third day of the 31 Day Challenge for 2014, the theme was Yellow. I’ve used piCture pOlish in both Mellow Yellow and Twinkle (the lilac). The zig zag edge was created with tape and topped with OPI 18k Gold & Silver top coat which was released as a part of the Mariah Carey Collection

31DC2014 Day 02: Orange – L’Orange
Read moreOrange is the theme for the second day of the 31 Day Challenge, so what other theme is more appropriate to choose than, well… ORANGES! Orange polish over mandarin coloured base and mattified with OPI Matte Top Coat. I feel like devouring a citrusy orange sorbet now… Please add me to your feed on BlogLovin‘ and

The 31 Day Challenge 2014
Read moreBeing September it’s that time of the year where many other nail bloggers choose to complete the annual 31 Day Challenge for 2014. It has already started, but I am choosing to do it anyhoo. You can read this update for some background to the general delays and why I couldn’t start it on time. I toyed with doing it in October

![Just the nails. Ok now I've got that outta my system, let's get the Mani product details! 😁
FIRST: Excuse delays. My intense recovery schedule was severely impacted this past month - by various things, including all the clusters & outbreaks. We got stuck. (So haven't had email access for those asking). This set us back. Almost ½ way thru, but now have to make up extra for disruption.
Been working on new stuff & detailed reviews for the blog in between (the upside of all the upheaval). But it's a work in progress around the hectic & disruptions, (& involves video), so will post when I do.
