In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits.  My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …

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 …

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 …

After seeing people talking about it everywhere, I really wanted to try the dry marble method on my nails.  If you aren’t familiar with how it works, here’s a tutorial. Looks easy, right?  Omg, it’s so not!!  Well, it is… but it isn’t.  What I mean is, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be, and …

It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in PAA’s Monday Nail Art Challenge as I was away on Holiday and then bummed about how my nails were ravaged by camping. Now I’m back though and just in time for one of my favorite themes – taping!! This theme was largely inspired by Jane over at Nailside, who is the …

Recently a friend of mine found out that she has breast cancer.  This is something that has struck far too close far too many times for me.  She has been a real trooper though and her strength and optimism is inspiring.  She has been blogging about her experience and it’s quite an interesting read.  In fact, I find myself wishing …

I’m really milking this giveaway win, aren’t I?! I loved these polishes so much I wanted to try to do something fun that included all three. Cute, huh?  I just love it! I really like dotting, I can imagine it would be even more fun with the proper dotting tools, rather than my homemade jobbies. I was going to take …

Here are some swatches of the polish I won from Traci’s giveaway. In case you missed it, these are the polishes I won. Pretty hot, right?! This is two coats of It’s Up To Blue. I really like this color a lot!  I’m so weird about blues at the moment though after getting serious staining (even with a base coat) …

A while back I saw some Cherry Blossom Nail art by Kayla Shevonne, and I loved it!  I may have pestered her a bit asking for a tutorial and last week she totally came through!  She made it look so easy, but she is an evil trickster! I tried twice and mine didn’t look nearly as good as hers. I’m …

I won my first giveaway! Sweeeeet! I was one of three winners in Traci’s 200 Follower Giveaway!  Today a received Orly’s It’s Up To Blue, Oh Cabana Boy, and Shine.  I love the bottles, with the rubbery handles… I need to think of something cool to do using the three colors together. To be honest, after filling out so many …

After testing out my new Miss Cop glitter that I bought at the market, I wanted to see what it looked like on a black base.  As I was getting everything out I realized I had other new glitters that I haven’t tried yet, and some I’d like to compare.  That’s when it hit me… glitter skittle!!  Well, nine glitter …
