Choi's nails

I know I said I'll post every other day, I've done a good job up until now but this time I have more than a valid reason!  I was unlucky enough to bump into these low life bummers after work who must have thought it would've helped their get rich quick scheme by stealing from me. My whole bag was stolen and I was left with a...

When I first started out nail blogging there were a few nail polishes I purchased that ended up being pushed aside because it was the first time meeting those sheer, streaky or runny formulas and Essie's Haute as hello is one of them. I feel guilty for not wearing this properly even once during the two to three years I've had it or...

Even though fall hasn't arrived yet I'm starting to look forward to the polishes I'm going to bring back out and one of the first few colours I always think of would be those eggplant shades. I have a thing for them; they're just great to wear whenever fall comes around. This is China Glaze's Urban night from their Fall metro collection 2011....

Going to keep this post short and sweet. After wearing Barry M's Jewel Brittania for the first time last year for the Olympics, I knew I'd want to wear it over Essie's Blanc again but as a full manicure unlike the first time. BM’s JB is a mix of different sized blue, red and silver hex glitters with small round silver ones floating...

It seemed a while since I last did a water marble so I pulled out some brights to match the sunny weather we were having in the UK at that time. I hardly wear yellow especially as a full manicure on its own but I do like to bring it out when it comes to nail art. The base is China Glaze's Lemon...

Some of you might already be familiar with this shade since it's been talked about quite a few times. I'd still like to blog about it though just because it looks good against my skin colour even on its own. It's one of the first nudes I discovered that doesn't wash out my skin tone. Essie's Sand Tropez is a ‘soft sandy beige’...

It's time to pull out an oldie to wear again so I grabbed one of the dark shades since the previous manicure was full of light ones. Here's China Glaze's Lofty ambitions from their metro fall 2011 Collection. It's already been two years since I've had this and fall's just about coming round again. Ah time flies doesn't it? Light box photo. Lofty...

My last few manicures seemed a bit plain because of my colour choice so I decided to make this one colourful!  I ended up with good results with my sponges the last time that I went and pulled them out again. What I used/did: With the only white in my collection I applied two coats of Essie's Blanc as my base. Next I...

I'm trying to tick off a few designs on my to do list and splatter nails have been sitting on there for way too long so I decided to give it a go after gathering everything I needed. I wanted to start off with a dark colour for my first time so I did a few trials on some fake nails to see...

I have to admit I'm such a terrible blogger when it comes to consistent updates. I came back for two weeks but ended up disappearing for another five, I can assure you though that I didn't completely forget blogging. Manicures, photos and editing still happened whilst this blog was neglected so there'll be more than a few blog posts lined up for you,...
