I’m a bit off-season, since everyone is into Halloween nails right now! This was a prompt for Nail Art Nation, and I wanted to hit all the Miami highlights. I brought out some soft neon shades into a gradient for Sunset Palms Nail Art.  Read More

Fabiana set this art-inspired challenge on NailArtNation this week, and she definitely had me in mind! His artwork is a mixture of colour and monochrome pieces, and I loved the monochrome line work, which had an almost op-art quality about it. I’d like to present my Frank Stella nail art!

One of the best things about summer in the UK is that, occasionally, you get brilliant sunshine.  It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s the right time to bring out your holo polishes.  Well, in my opinion it’s always the right time for holo, but don’t miss out seeing these polishes in actual bright, direct, natural light.

I am a bit of a sucker for Picture Polish shades, and this is one I bought earlier this year.  Picture Polish Merge is a beige creme with scatter holo particles.  That means all the individual pieces make their own rainbow, rather than one big one across the nail.  I started with a swatch, then added some nail art (of course) and then had to go a bit crazy with the hand positions to capture the art!

I’ve seen photos of this design a few times and I think Bracelet Nails are going to be the next big trend in nail art. It involves a sheer or nude base, with thin, roughly horizontal lines near the tip, loaded with nail jewellery like a charm bracelet. This is my take on it! Read More

I wanted to make the most of the blacklights I knew I’d be under this weekend, so I brought out the Orly Neon Gradient. These glow beautifully when exposed to UV light! Read More

This another of my purchases from a recent sale. Cirque Hatch is a white crelly polish with tiny black glitters. I feel a bit like I’m wearing an Oreo milkshake on my nails! Read More
