31dc2016 violet nails stamped purple nails maybelline sally hansen

After much discussion of what colour violet really is, more blue or more pink and spreading all of my purple-ish polishes on the floor much to the confusion of my cats, and headed to wikipedia (because wiki answers everything) which says “Violet is the color of amethyst, lavender and beautyberries”. I have a Maybelline polish […]

When Colours Collide – Red, Purple & Black With No Stamping

When Colours Collide Red Purple Black No Stamping 2

I finally jumped on the When Colours Collide bandwagon in time for a no stamping challenge.  I am not 100% in love with my look but I guess that is part of the challenge, doing things you would not usually do.  I also could not decide what to do, so went with skittle nails and […]

Cuticle Care After Moving Day

Cuticle Care With Cuter Cuticles Avon Sally Hansen Zoya

I try my best to look after my nails and cuticles but in general, they tend towards dry and my nails break easily once past the tips of my fingers.  Moving however, left my nails looking horrible.  As in, there is no way I am swatching polishes or playing with my new stamping plates when […]

Easy St. Patrick’s Day Nail Art Ideas

St Patricks Day Nail Art - Stamp Macro

My Irish grandma would probably shudder at the cheesey-ness of Irish flags on my nails, she would let us wear green ribbons in our hair and remind us that we were Irish every day, not just on St. Patrick’s Day but any excuse for some nail art! I have three simple nail art looks for […]

Valentine’s Day Dotticure Nail Art

Valentines Nail Art - Dotticure

Not everyone has stamping tools and plates, but you can make a dotting tool out of various items around your home.  This Valentine’s Day dotticure nail art can be done in any colour to match your outfit, but I went with sparkly versions of black, gold and red on a white background.  While easy to […]
