Ok so my clean up here wasn't great. I think I got my liquid latex on the nail a bit and then just failed with sponging on the gradient too but never mind. The colours are gorgeous I think and I really loved this manicure. I applied Excalibur Renaissance first over a base coat then … Continue reading Green A England Gradient
Happy New Year to everyone! Let's kick this off with the first nail post of the year. This is the design I went for over New Year's Eve although I didn't get a chance to do clean up properly as I was getting shoved out the door by my boyfriend. I wouldn't mind but we … Continue reading In Robe and Stripes
I occasionally spot a good article over on Bloglovin' by Wonder Forest; it's not a blog I have to read everything from but she does have some lovely stuff on there from time to time and is very arty-crafty. So when I saw these nails I just had to give them a go. Thank you … Continue reading Dry swipe nails inspired by Wonder Forest

I haven't had any nail mail in a while so when I saw Nails Inc had released a new paint can I just had to snap it up. Of course as any nail fan knows as soon as you go on their website you will see all the colours you want. Luckily I went on … Continue reading Perceval visits Mayfair Market
I did the green version of these absolutely ages ago and loved it but never got round to posting it. So here we are, just in time for Valentine's day and hopefully to give you some inspiration. I've also done a pink version further down the post that I was actually wearing just a few … Continue reading Valentine Dot Hearts
Without a doubt my new favourite manicure. I can see this one getting recreated lots, maybe with different colours but definitely again with these exact shades. Unfortunately I didn't snap any pictures whilst doing it but I can explain how to do it easily enough in the captions. I hope you guys love it as … Continue reading Brown Gradient with Gold Stripes
A little bit of everything today. This is actually something I did way back at the end of April, partly as I had cut my nails right down and wanted a nice bit of art to cover them and partly because the Daylight Curing range had just been released by Barry M and I wanted … Continue reading Barry M Daylight Curing Topcoat – Use with any polish?
