Another photo I took ages ago (in February, I think) and just never got around to doing anything with. I don’t remember how this was to apply but I know I liked wearing it.  I like the name even more, Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans, it’s cute! I tend to quite like dark polish so this suited me well.  It’s …

I took this photo ages ago after I bought the Holland Collection and just realized that I never did get around to blogging it! The color is called Red Lights Ahead… Where? which is one of the colors that can be found in the box of minis.   That’s why I’m holding the Seche Vite bottle rather than the actual color …

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 …

When I heard that OPI was releasing a Holland Collection, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.  Of course, this left me with the dilemma on whether I was going to try to swap someone in the states for them or dish out the ridiculous prices you pay for them here IN HOLLAND (we should get a discount …

Now that I’m back on the nailpolish bandwagon, I needed to add a little sparkle to my life. I couldn’t choose which of my new polishes to try so I closed my eyes and picked one!  Well, two actually.   The above photo is a base of Revlon’s Lunar with a top coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black. As you can …

I’m baaaack! After a terrible stretch of time with a really annoying rash on two of my fingers (that I still have no idea what it was, by the way!) and then a few stressful months leading up to my recent surgery, this is the first time I’ve painted my nails in over FOUR MONTHS!! I’d gone far too long …

The PAA Monday Nail Art Challenge for this week was Blue, and I did actually have these done before Monday but I wasn’t feeling up to taking pics.  Thankfully the mani has held up quite well so I was still able to get some today, even if there is a fair bit of regrowth there.  You can ignore it.  The …

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 …

It’s no big secret that I love purple, I’m pretty sure I’ve thrown that out there a few times already.  So when I bought this for a swap partner and found out she already had it on the way in another swap, it really wasn’t a task for me to slip it into my own stash and give it some …
