I wanted to try out some of the rest of the colors from my Dutch Treats mini pack from the Holland Collection.   I also was keen to do a bit of nail art as it’s been a long time now. A while back I got an order from an online shop that had a pack of 12 colors of nail …

Since I started messing around with my nails I’ve seen a lot of people doing the reverse french method, which is basically putting a semi circle at the base of the nail rather than putting the color across the tip.  There are a number of methods for doing this, the most popular using paper hole stickers like in this tutorial …

Remember how I was saying I wanted to see how Forget Me Not by Catrice would look stamped and shattered and with topcoats etc.  Well, I couldn’t stop myself! Here is that fabulous color on its own… *Sigh*  Seriously, does it get better?  I guess it does, if you don’t totally love purple, but then you are crazy and your …

The theme for the PAA Monday Nail Art Challenge for this week was CANDY!! I knew right away what I wanted to do because I’ve been waiting to try this mani ever since I first saw this tutorial on Nail Polish Art Addiction! I had initially planned on doing the gumball machine on all my nails, but after doing one I …

After seeing people talking about it everywhere, I really wanted to try the dry marble method on my nails.  If you aren’t familiar with how it works, here’s a tutorial. Looks easy, right?  Omg, it’s so not!!  Well, it is… but it isn’t.  What I mean is, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be, and …

The PAA Monday Nail Art Challenge for this week was Galaxy Nails!! Oh I was so excited about this one because I wanted to try this for so long! I have never done sponging before and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get the effect I wanted but I think it worked out pretty well! This is also often …

I’m a bit behind on updating my entries for PAA’S Monday Nail Art Challenge, not that I haven’t been doing them, I have… I’ve just gotten behind on my photo editing.  I had to replace my laptop recently and one of the main problems with my old one was that I couldn’t edit more than one or two photos before …

It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in PAA’s Monday Nail Art Challenge as I was away on Holiday and then bummed about how my nails were ravaged by camping. Now I’m back though and just in time for one of my favorite themes – taping!! This theme was largely inspired by Jane over at Nailside, who is the …

A while back I joined a group on Facebook called Polish-aholics Anonymous, which was created by Traci from The Trace Face Philes.  It’s basically a group of women who love polish and nail art who came together to share their obsession.  It’s a great place to chat about nails if that’s what you are into and what I like most …

The other day I wanted to try something cool with some Lego stickers my husband had.  I was going to paint my nails white and add the stickers to the nail and put a topcoat over, it was all very cool in my head.  It didn’t work out quite as I had hoped… The stickers were a little too thick, …

I’m really milking this giveaway win, aren’t I?! I loved these polishes so much I wanted to try to do something fun that included all three. Cute, huh?  I just love it! I really like dotting, I can imagine it would be even more fun with the proper dotting tools, rather than my homemade jobbies. I was going to take …
