Turquoise striping nail art with Color Club

My turquoise shades feel so overused at time but my greens are sort of gathering dust so I brang them together to give those sort of polishes some light. I like this whole light shade dark shade pairing. It always looks so..cool?  Right, the whole try out looked perfect on the sample nail but as I started doing my own I started losing...

I can't see how much longer I can put off writing up my blog posts but seeing as I'm behind it's time to get a move on before a lot more overdue posts start catching up to me.

Freehand striping mani with China Glaze

I recently gave my blog a new url because I didn't fancy the old one anymore. Hopefully this one will be permanent because the whole name thinking exercise is really challenging for me. Nothing seemed to sound good enough so I had to settle for something simple. I'm pretty I've lost more than a few brain cells from banging my head on my...

Double layer water marble with Essie

How long has it been since I've last done a water marble? I can't remember. Besides that, the whole thing about the mess and water being everywhere was totally forgotten. But something good did come out; at least I think so. Have you ever tried water marbling and accidentally get another layer of polish stuck onto your perfectly watermarble design totally messing things...

Nude and copper bronze tips with Maybelline

Here's a recreation of a Maybelline manicure I saw last fall but wearing this didn't give me the feeling that it did seeing it on the poster on. It looked more elegant there but then again the models hand had almond nail shapes which looked pretty elegant and girly in general. I don't really wear a lot of copper bronze shades but this...

China glaze and Ciate's colour blocks and striping tape

How's everyone been doing lately? I've been getting back into my Taiwanese dramas so this weekend has been about late night drama catchups and less thought on the nail art. In fact I'm still watching as I type so what I'm going to show today is fairly simple. The base is Ciate's Amazing Grace which you may have seen in one of the...

Barry M Meadow saran wrapped on bright purple

I contemplated whether this post would actually go live or not. Designs always look like the bomb in your mind but sometimes they just don't look great on the nails. The base is Barry M's bright purple and on top is BM's Meadow from their silk collection which was saran wrapped on.  I thought the shimmery pink would add something special to it...

Models Own neon skittle water marble

I'm seriously over the summer but I've one last summer manicure to show you before I focus more on all the fall/winter shades. This manicure is actually a result from a number of trial and error including ones done way back except I didn't blog about them.
