We are apparently in summer, no one seems to have told Glasgow though. It does call for some summer nail art though and with Wimbledon just round the corner I figured strawberries were the perfect choice. I didn’t want to go overboard to kept my strawberry design to one nail with little polka dots gracing the others. The strawberry design is quite simple. You paint … Continue reading Strawberry Fields Forever
Blank space nails are a wee bit of a trend right now, I’ve been seeing them everywhere. Will I go with the being the inspiration behind today’s nails? The truth? Firstly my nails are super short and this triangle design elongates them, especially when you add the dot. Secondly, I was kinda busy and these took next to no time. My tip is to make … Continue reading I’ve Got a Blank Space Baby
When you have a 5yrs old girl staying there’s lots if Barbie pink around. Similarly when you ask your niece to pick a nail colour this Barbie pink is selected without hesitation. Unfortunately I didn’t have a similar non shellac colour for her nails but managed to avoid tears with a pretty lilac thankfully. My nails are so hideously short right now I wasn’t sure … Continue reading I’m a Barbie Girl
I’m back, not so fresh from a long girly weekend in Marbella. Last week I showed of my sunshine holiday toe nails and today I planned to show off my sunshine holiday finger nails. One problem, they didn’t quite survive the sunshine, sea, sand and shots.

It’s nearly Easter, how did that happen? I remember painting hard boiled eggs as a kid and rolling them down a hill. I took this as inspiration for some fun nails to brighten a rather cold gloomy Glasgow. I thought the yellow made a nice base coat to my zig zagged dotted and floral designs. They do make me smile during what is turning … Continue reading Easter Egg Nails
The inspiration for these is an outfit I have planned for upcoming busy Friday night. Pairing my two favourites, green and monochrome stripes, is something I’m looking forward to. Unfortunately I may need to rethink given how cold it still is here; yes I’m officially old as I’m now picking an outfit for a nightout depending on the weather. Anyway, these are pretty fab regardless … Continue reading My Favourite Game
Remember I said the Poundshop was the place for nail art accessories? Well I found another little treat the other day when I was in. Little pots of ‘velvet’ dust. The idea is you sprinkle them on while your nails are wet and they create a soft velvet effect. I went for a blue … Continue reading Like Velvet to My Skin

You all know I’m a sweetie addict so I’m in there fairly often to top up my office sweetie drawer, yes I have a whole drawer. Last week I came across this awesome little accessory wheel. They had loads of different ones, well worth a look. When I go for embellishment … Continue reading Leather-Studded Kiss
One day late but better late than never right? With Valentines Day around the corner I had to go for red and hearts. I also forgot about these cute little caviar embellishments I have so had to work them into the design. The caviar beads are a little awkward to use, they go absolutely everywhere! Sticking to one nail is not too much work and … Continue reading On My Beating Heart
