This month, we are doing Nails We Wouldn’t Normally Do for #CBBxManiMonday. Quite an open theme so expect some interesting manis over the month. One of the things I rarely wear is red polish. Some of it is just that it always looks too bright against my skin tone. It is hard to find a red […]

Nails Inspired by Live Clean Vanilla Peppermint Hand Soap
Another #CBBxManiMonday! This week, my holiday themed nails are snowflakes. Inspired by the design on my bottle of Live Clean Vanilla Peppermint hand soap, they have light green, silver and blue snowflakes on a white base. This is the hand soap I have been using between swatches so it seemed right to do nails inspired […]
Cozy Brown Sweater Nails
Another #CBBxManiMonday. This month, we are doing festive nails but inspired by Trysh, I went for cozy sweater nails this week. Not exactly festive but the colder weather in December screams for cute sweaters. I did a base of Alter Ego Clever Girl. It is a metallic chocolate brown with a silvery chrome base that […]
In Hindsight, The Glitter Was A Mistake
I seem to be in a bit of a rut with my nails. I think something will look cute but the execution just isn’t there. Plus, being injured, I can’t sit for long periods to do them so that wipes out some ideas. Not sure what I expected this holiday themed mani to look like […]

Fall Leaves Nail Art for #CBBxManiMonday
Just another #ManiMonday… this time, we are doing leaves as a prompt. We all had very different interpretations of this prompt, so be sure to head over to how Cosmetic Proof, Prairie Beauty Love and See the World in Pink did with this challenge. My polishes were a base of Holly to my Berry by Paint it Pretty Polish (red) Candy […]
Paint it Pretty Polish Candy to my Cane Swatches
Last but not least, we have Candy to my Cane from the Paint it Pretty Polish Metallic Holiday Collection 2018. A forest green metallic that is opaque in two coats, this is that classic Christmas tree green. A touch shimmery but no underlying sparkly colours. This matches up so well with Holly to my Jolly, […]
Paint it Pretty Polish Holly to my Jolly Swatches
Getting into the more traditional Christmas colours from the Metallic Holiday Collection. Paint it Pretty Polish Holly to my Jolly is a slightly muted red metallic. It is not the classic holly berry red you would think from the name, with a touch of orange and not quite as in your face as many holiday […]
