Royal Wedding Manicure and Giveaway reminder

Hi friends!

As I type, I'm watching the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  In fact, they are taking their vows now!

I'm not a Royalist, but I will say that I do love a good wedding...and I did like Princess Diana *sigh*.

Here's my manicure. I worked hard on it last night and hand-painted everything other than the silver hearts and crowns (BM plates). As a result, I've watermarked these ones.

Hope you like!


If you haven't already entered my giveaway, do it here because it ends at 12am GMT!

More sponging and stamping.

Hi Friends, I hope everyone is well.

The weather has been so nice here recently.  That's one reason why my photos look different. I'm trying to make the most of the natural sunshine and my light box is in tatters (still) because I haven't had time to mend it!

I have a nice one for you today. Okay, I think it's nice anyway.  I was having a look at this blog the other day and it got me thinking; why haven't I tried to layer my stamping? Something I'd done before, but not intentionally. It's so simple and it makes perfect sense, so I thought I'd step up my stamping game.

Here ya go.

 This is NYC's 'Times Square', two coats.

L-R: Wet n Wild 'Tipsy (one layer), Sally Hansen Nail Prisms 'Golden Cinnebar' (sponged on first up to mid-nail), Essence Metallics 'Copper Rulez!' (sponged on tips)

BM14 (stars) and BM19 (circles) stamped with Models Own Goldigger

I loved this until I tore my middle finger and had to patch it. I hate patches but I'm trying to grow my nails out.  I'm so fed up of short nails that I've even been toying with the idea of acrylics again :-0!! I don't think I will though.

My current PEDICURE!

 ...you don't like feet! Okay, you can, but I thought I'd better warn you first.


Unfortunately, my feet no longer look like this:

 If they did, I would never wear shoes. 

L-R, Rimmel's 'Portobello Pink', Sinful Colors 'Frenzy', China Glazes 'Flying Dragon' and Beauty UK's Glam Nails in white.

Two layers of the pink, one layer of glitter, sponged on purple, glued on gems and painted white tip.

I hadn't done a clean up before I took the photos. I hope you like :-)

Quick post: Robin Moses!

Hey friends, I hope you are having a lovely Easter.

I was wandering around my dashboard today and saw an upate from Robin.  I don't know if you've seen her blog yet but WOW, this woman is talented. Her nail art is fantastic and her YouTube tutorials are so clear (she's also quite funny).

If you like nail art as much as I do, you might want to have a look.

That's all for this post, I'll be back soon.

My nail growth progress

Hi Friends!

Remember this post, where I lamented the deterioration of my nails over my holiday?  Well, I'm pleased to say that I've had some progress.  First, let me just say that these pictures are of  naked nails that were not filed or moisturised., so yes, they do look grotty. The most recent pictures are taken of my nails after having removed polish and washed dishes - without gloves!

I'm right handed and my nails grow a lot faster on this hand. I just can't wait to get rid of the staining on my left hand nails. When they are gone, I'll be able to do a french manicure, finally.
