Olympic round up
So the London 2012 Olympics are now over. It came, it dazzled, it inspired, and now we can only hope the Paralympics is as awesome. I am looking forward to learning loads about it, and just getting back into watching new sports that I’ve never seen before! I had three posts on Olympic-inspired nail art … Continue reading
Olympic manicure 2 – medals
So my other Olympic manicure got me a lot of compliments, but it was so colourful and bright, and it’s easy to get tired of a loud manicure. You immediately want to switch it up. Also, it’s only the Olympics every 4 years, so I needed to fit in at least one more look! This … Continue reading

People who know me well know that I am a huge fan of reptiles, crocodilians in particular. It’s weird, but it has always been the case. My sister saw the Barry M Croc Effects nail polish and immediately bought it for me – thank you sis! And now I present you with a reptilian manicure. … Continue reading
12 posts of Christmas: 11. Christmas Eve look
This is the manicure that I’ve been wearing today, on Christmas Eve. Quite simple, red base – the ultimate Christmas colour and then a stylistic tree and heart detail in miniature gold balls (I don’t really know what else to call them!). I hope you liked it!!!

You can use tape to get the lines perfect, but this ‘triangle’ … Continue reading

12 posts of Christmas: 7. Christmas details
These are the nails I’ve been sporting so far this week, and I love them. Flashy, bit of bling, festive and office-appropriate (well my office has really gone for it this year, we have two Christmas trees and we’re only 30 employees!) I started off with a gold base, I wore just the gold colour … Continue reading

Preppy nails
This is one of my old designs. I gave both my sister and myself a manicure, and I wanted them to match in style. I think the effect is quite preppy. What do you think? Ingredients list Prep time: ~1 hours, for each manicure. Plenty of time for sister chats. Base coat: Dior base coat … Continue reading
