The mani that wasn't used!

I was going to use this mani in a review but it didn't work out, so here it is without a review!

Base - Cutex Red She said
Stamped - Nails Inc Lanesborough Place
Stamp - Bundle Monster 307

Toodle pip!

Christmas Stamping Fail

My Christmas mani of Cutex Red She Said base with white snowflakes (Bundle Monster Plate 323) was going so well.....until I put the top coat on and it dragged the stamped image across my nails.  Looks OK from a distance but with close up shots it looks pretty awful.  I conferred with fellow stampers and received great tips on applying the top coat, ie apply good dollop of top coat, make sure the brush doesn't touch the nail, don't drag the topcoat with the brush, wait a long while for the stamping polish to dry.  Practice will make perfect, just a shame I ruined it quicker than the time it took to do it.  To the pics......

31 Day Nail Art - Red Nails

I'm a member of the Facebook Group British Nail Bloggers and Diva of The Teenage Shopaholic has organised for us (and anyone who wants to join) the infamous 31 Day Nail Art challenge which we are doing on a weekly basis rather than daily.

Day 1 - Red Nails.  I have about 300 polishes and I can count on one had how many of them are red!  Although I don't know why I don't wear red often as I love it when I do.  My fave red is Cutex Red She Said which is ancient, but it goes on really easy and it what I think a true red, topped with a bit of red glitter from Mavala Red Diamond.

And don't forget to check out what Diva and Stephanie have created this week!

My First Attempt at Clouds

I saw a gorgous post on Gems in a Bottle's blog of a lovely valentine clouds mani, which inspired me to have a go, not tried clouds before.  It's not as good as Gems but I'm chuffed enough with my attempt.
