This design is inspired by a design created by MissJenFabulous (see here), so all the credit goes to her. However, I didn’t feel like using the colours black and silver, like she did, so I decided to change things up a bit. I added some glitter as well, just for good measure. Here are some […]

Mirror Mirror
A few weeks ago, I received a package I have been excited about for a long time: a nail polish that is supposed to give your nails a mirror-like effect. It comes with a special nail file with two different sides. Both sides are used before polishing, but have to be used in a specific […]
Ladybugg’d
This time, while I was trying to figure out what design to create next, I was thinking about doing something with the famous Mondriaan colours and lines or with the wonderful flowers designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. However, I realised that a lot of those nail art designs are already available, so I decided to […]
Penny Polish
Time for a Big Bang Theory-inspired design! Who doesn’t love the adventures of Penny, Sheldon and the others? Remember the episode where Sheldon helps Penny to set up her own little company of making the cute barrettes she called Penny Blossoms?

Maybe you are still feeling the Yule Tide joy, or perhaps you’ll find some inspiration for next year! Christmas truly is my […]
Ready for the Hunger Games!
To introduce my first on-topic post: some of these posts will be about books, some about nail polish, some about both. However, all will definitely be about art. What better than starting off with Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, wonderful books and films about imagination, fashion, and the connection between two different worlds? I love […]
Carte Blanche
This is my first-ever blog post. This blog is meant for people who, like me, have an equally divided love for both books and nail polish. A strange combination? Maybe, but as a new nail art fan I seemed to find enough overlap between the two to start this blog. First of all, I have […]
