Hurray! This week on Michelle’s Disney cheese and whine hour, we have Mulan (1998). Since I’m the slanty-eyed gook in the banner at the top of this blog, you’d be right to guess that this is a Disney film with which I have a particularly strong relationship. I watched this as an impressionable tween when it first came out, and …
This week’s theme is Valentine’s Day. I’m not into the whole hearts and flowers pink girly thing, so for my Valentine’s Day nail art I went for dark, sultry vamp: The glitter on my ring finger (also on my thumb) is Alanna Renee Black Cherry, probably the most gorgeous vampy glitter I own! The dark red is Orly Smoulder, and …
I’m a bit of a Grinch at Christmas (crowded shops, buying presents for people you don’t really like, overindulgence guilt, family dramas, endless gift guides – bah humbug!) but I can’t resist a bit/lot of Christmas themed nail art! This is a simple, rather elegant design I did. I love jelly sandwiches, and Revlon Sheer Sugar has become my favourite …
The theme this week was ruffian nails. These are mine: I was wearing China Glaze Glittering Garland at the time and I wasn’t quite sick of it yet, so I stamped a BM design on top in ulta3 Gold Rush Fever (PRC). I then used an eyeliner brush to paint on a bit more gold to make the stamping a …

A tad macabre, I guess, but that’s just me all over! 😛 The base is China Glaze Stone Cold, one …
Hi! Sorry this is a bit late, I got carried away doing a sugar scrub… my legs went from scaly hellbeasts to soft, plump happy things, so it was all for a good cause! Anyway, here it is: I trawled the internet for a few weeks to find a design for this when’s challenge, but ended up back at my …
I was feeling uninspired with my Autumn manis (but with a million ideas for Spring manis… argh reverse seasons) so I was really excited when I came across this look: It’s the mani the models rocked for the Michael Lo Sordo SS 12/13 show, done using essie Sew Psyched and Case Study. Instant love! Gorgeously sophisticated and so, so …
The refined yet sexy black-lace-on-nude look that Kate Moss etc. popularised a couple of years ago inspired these nails. The base is OPI Malaysian Mist, which I hate when sheer but love with 3+ coats, and might be my long sought after HG nude! It’s one of the polishes that got me into nails in the first place. The stamp …
