Nails of the Week- Galaxy Nails

These too are seen on many nails blogs and sites and have been done in a variety of ways by many people, but to me these are the most realistic looking style and they create a look which is very simple but effective.


1. Paint nails a dark colour, I have used a deep, deep blue, almost black but black will work, as will purple.
2. Using a piece of a make-up sponge, torn off and held between tweezers, dab on in streaks a brighter blue a pinky purple, and a pale yellow, make sure these colours are all very close together as if part of the same ermmm nebula?
3. Dot on using a toothpick white dots to form stars, make some bigger and some smaller.
4. Topcoat.
Difficulty: 3/10

Colour of the Month- January

Barry M Nail Paints Strawberry Ice CreamThe colour I loved and used the most this month was by far Barry M's Strawberry Ice Cream (309) which I used in nearly every look that I did this month. I have used this colour for many years, this is probs my 3rd bottle, it is quite a basic colour, but I like the translucency of this on which makes it very glossy.

Colour of the Month-December

'Tis the season, okay, t'was the season to be jolly and nothing is more festive than a good red. The colour I wore most this month was 030 Double decker Red by Rimmel London. I couldn't find a link though to this product on the Rimmel London website. I love this red because the colour is very strong and bright and it is the perfect christmas red, as it is orange toned. It is what I have used in the leopard nails, the noel nails and the snowflake nails, although the colour does not show up so well on camera, so I will have to adjust the flash settings.
