Before I start this weeks discussion I have to say something about last weeks nail polish. So I used the Sephora X Neon colour “Obnoxious”, the yellow. It was the first time I had used that brand and I went through the proper steps (base coat, 2 colour coats, top coat) in the application… …more
This week I actually had an inspiration for my nails. I did some research, did some shopping, and created a look I really like. Piet Mondrain is a name that few people outside of the art field know but most people are quite familiar with his work; works blocked with thick black lines filled… …more
This week I tried something new. It is a blue-to-white pseudo gradient and on the accent it is reversed. I started with a deep cobalt blue and went from there. The colours aren’t perfect but it kinda worked. The real problem was my unsteady hands, creating not-so-straight lines and uneven distribution of colour… …more

In celebration of this… …more
So this week I did something different. I took a picture of my nails in the “real world” in an attempt to make my nail images even more interesting. Here they are on the bus. …more

The title of this post is also the title of the new category that I mentioned I would be starting. And no it is not about my achievements (there aren’t enough for a whole category) but they are about nails. Finger nails. Pretty painted ones. You would know this if you had read the updated “About”… …more
