Winter white

Around here I've been having some time off to relax and rejuvenate, which included doing a little bit of shopping. I've been dreaming about all white nails for a while so I picked up a new polish and went to work. I love the results.

Manicure Monday

I had a little time on my hands today so I decided to get a little fancy. Nail stickers, metallics and dots.

This is about as close to nude as I get but I'm quite liking the subtle look this week. Although there still has to be a little glitter!

Manicure Monday :: Back to school

I may be slightly addicted to nail stamping now. I finally managed a full set of stamped nails and I love them. I back studying this week, after a lovely break, twice as much work this semester but I'm determined to stay organised and stop with the procrastination ... like a weekly manicure?

Manicure Monday :: Getting better

A lot of practice and a lot of polish later and I am getting better at this stamping thing. I decided to go subtle this time (well as subtle as gold polish can be) and make a feature nail with the stamps.

Manicure Monday :: Metallic

I got the most fantastic gold and silver polishes from BarryM this week and I'm in love.

Called Foil Effects, they really do look like I've foiled my nails. I was so impressed with them (this is only one coat of each), I decided I had to wear both at once!

Manicue Monday ... on a Tuesday

I got some really great nail stamping plates but man do I need to practice a bit more. These took me AGES and they are so messy. It can only get better from here!

What is the perfect antidote to a cold, rainy Monday? A rainbow of warm-hued nails! Hard to feel down when you've got these babies typing away!

Manicure Monday

I'm cheating today. I actually still have last weeks polish on, all chipped and paint stained, so here is the manicure I gave myself on my birthday.

Manicure Monday

Last week Kyla had a great post with all her favourite polishes and it got me thinking about mine. I had a massive polish clearout a couple of months ago, and although I still have more than a few, these are the colours I come back to time and again ...

... but that's not to say I'm not gonna keep looking for new favourites!

Manicure Monday

I needed a bit of cheering up this weekend and nothing cheers me up more than pretty colours and polka dots. Except when I can combine them!

Manicure Monday

My Easter nails were sweet and simple. With just a touch of glitter, because, well ... who doesn't love glitter?

I just stumbled on the coolest new blog, dedicated solely to the art of the manicure! 

I found Pshiiit through For Me, For You and I've spent the last hour trawling through the archives finding style after style that I can't wait to try!

Its been so long since I painted my nails, so when Kyla from The Dainty Squid had a cool mini tutorial for dotty triangle nails, it totally inspired me to try my own version. So fancy, I can't stop wiggling them around!
