Tipwear and regrowth annoy me so much, especially when I’m wearing a polish I don’t have much of! Nailside’s rightly famous cloud mani is stylish and covers up the tips, but I want a bit of variety, so you’re going to be seeing a lot of my experiments!

This Wednesday’s theme is inspired by a movie. I decided to use A Clockwork Orange, one of my favourite books and movies!

Then I taped a zigzag …

Why is it there? Toluene is a solvent – in other words, it dissolves up all the other bits in nail polish so you’re not putting chunky powder across your …
Theme: Inspired by a book I’m a nerd, and part of my duties as a nerd is to be a bookworm, so it was quite a task to work out my favourite books, and figure out how to present one visually (if anyone knows a way to depict Ulysses on their nails, please share). I settled on a nerd classic: …
