2019 Scratch Stars Awards Mani

Hello! As some of you may know, I attended Scratch Magazine's 2019 Scratch Stars Awards lastnight, as I was a finalist in the Best UK Nail Blogger category. I couldn't go to a nail awards party without doing my nails, so opted for a strong silver holographic with some subtle purple stamping to match my purple dress.

Nailbuff App (& Goodies)

*AD - Gifted*

Hello! Recently, the lovely Harpreet over at Nailbuff reached out to me to find out what I thought of their nail polish app, and also offered to send me a few goodies. I used Nailbuff way back when it first launched a few years ago before I even started blogging. I hadn't visited it in a while, so I was more than happy to revisit and see how things have changed!

Sponged Chevron Mani

Hello! Today I have some nail art to share with you. This idea came to me out of nowhere and it kept popping into my brain, so I figured I'd just sit down and do it! I've really been liking doing some more spur of the moment nails recently instead of just simple stamping over polishes I'm swatching at the time. This time around it resulted in a sponged chevron mani. Read on for more info!
