Bio Sculpture are mainly known for their nail gels, but they also have a range of nail polishes. Today I have the 2012 Summer Holiday Beach Collection, four creme colours that are somewhere between pastels and brights – they are indeed very summery colours, and surprisingly, I only have a dupe of the yellow, which is amazing given the size …
My cuticles suffer a lot from nail polish removal, so inspired by loodie I decided to DIY a version of Zoya Remove+, which is popular for its ability to keep nails and skin from drying out, while quickly removing polish. I’ve been looking for a bottle of glycerin for months, even though it’s supposed to be easily found in chemists, …
A lot of people have asked me questions about Essence/PVA base coat since my original post on it – I’ve gathered here some of the most common questions and some solutions that seem to work, after some trial and error.

And I got a bit lazy I guess! Here it is: And a close-up …

Are you ready for summer, Southern Hemisphere ladies? I am! It’s the only season where I don’t feel like a teenager wearing neon, although I draw the line at neon all over. Neon nails, though, are a great way of getting into the mood without making me feel too Malibu Stacy. One of the neon ranges coming out soon is …
This week for Artsy Wednesday we’re doing cling wrap manis (aka saran wrap, gladwrap etc.). These are usually done with two cremes, or a creme and a shimmer, but I wasn’t ready to take Gloss ‘n Sparkle Goblins Grave off yet, so I used that as a base and applied ulta3 Gold Rush Fever on top.
