Inspired by Robin Moses – Blue Stripes

Hi everyone, I only seem to post when I am off school feeling poorly! I did this mani yesterday, inspired by a few designs by Robin Moses. I’m not sure  if I will keep up this blog as much as I would like to any more as life and school are just so busy to do a blog as well! I’m still painting my  nails (just!) but doing the photos and watermarks and writing is too much and I may just post photos…

Hi all!  I’ve finally managed to get my gel mani stay on for a week! And I even had to remove it for the first time ever! When I say stay on I literally mean stay on! Before, the layer of gel would literally pop off. One day I pushed a pedestrian crossing button and the whole layer just popped off! SO I had been meaning to pop to Sally’s to see if there is a primer I could get.To my surprise…I…

Inspired by Robin Moses – Rainbow Bees

Morning all,  It is finally half term! This morning I’m feeling so lost not being at school! I almost want to pop down there to do work! Almost!  Here is a bit of a nail fail tbh! I originally did the rainbow stripes and then stamped the bees a few days after. I had huge troubles stamping the bees. I tried to stamp the bees with my lovely new squishy stamper but they would not stamp. I tried and…

Hello all!  Here is another gel sandwich mani. This time I cured a layer of base coat and then stamped a Pueen lace design on top with a purple Konad Stamping polish. I added a few glitter hexes  and then sealed it all with a gel topcoat. 

Hi everyone – a super simple dotticure here! Love neon colours on black. I used my favourite little sparkle topper to give it some jazz!  Created with : Black – Nina Ultra Pro – Black Diamond  Green – China Glaze – Grass is Lime Greener  Orange – China Glaze – Sun of a Peach  Blue – Barry M – Cornflower  Pink – China Glaze – Loves a Beach  Purple – Essie – Play Date  Yellow – Nina Ultra Pro –…

Hi everyone,  I thought I’d try a gel / polish sandwich as they call it. I absolutely adored this mani! I used one of my few bottles of Indie polishes by Polish Me Silly. I added some hexes for an extra sparkle. My gel Topcoat gave it a gorgeous shine! 

Simple Stripes – Matching Charms

Hi all, A couple of simple but lovely striped manis which match a couple of charm beads I picked up whilst in Majorca.

Hi everyone, So I’m sure everyone has seen the popular see through stampers…I was desperate to give them a try! I also wanted to try out the alternative decal method of painting onto the stamper, adding Topcoat and letting it dry. I must say having tried this way I love it. Plus, I was able to roll the whole thing out onto my nail straight from the stamper.  I prefer painting on the stamper…

Morning all (in England!), It is 4am and I am wide awake! I’ve had a fluey thing for over a week now and my OH made me go to the doctors yesterday. I am coughing so much that it’s  caused pain all down my chest and back and I just can’t sleep! In my home city we had a blue day yesterday – all the children wore blue and brought in money for charity. Teachers were allowed to wear jeans for the day;…

I matched an elaborate mani on my left hand with some simple stamping on my right hand! I love a bit of simple stamping!  Created with: Green – Essie – Naughty Nautical Pink – Barry M – Silk – Blossom  Konad White and Silver stamping polish Pueen Love Elements Stamping Plates 

Fiery Dry Watermarble – Inspired by Robin Moses 

Hi everyone! I had a go at a dry Watermarble which I originally saw by Robin Moses. I love Watermarble designs but I am useless at creating them. So when I saw this on YouTube I thought I’d give it a go. This was super easy and if like me you find watermarbling in the usual way difficult, this is a great way to try it. I’d love to try this in different colours.  Created with: Pink – China Glaze –…

Inspired by Robin Moses

Hi all! I have often watched in amazement Robin Moses’ incredible nail art. I particularly love her cherry blossom designs, I have done a pink and purple abstract design before. This time, I fell for her green and pink blossoms. In my challenge to make sure I do something for myself I gave this beautiful design a go, using my self – thinned medium striper brush. I do not have the same brush…

Having ‘Notable Nails’ 

Hi all,  Oh dear, it’s been too long.  However,  I think my job and how stressed it has made me this year gives me an excuse. I have been so stressed this time round that it has made my mood dip and when you dip, you don’t always feel ready to do things you normally like to do.  I do enjoy having different nails and I like spending time doing them and I should have nice nails and I  should spend…
