Which are they? Can you replace them? Or do you use them often?:p

picchinails-welcome I posted earlier that your nails are just perfect I've recently stopped biting mine and hope mine look as good as yours one day

Good for you on your resolve to no longer be a biter! I know it is very hard to stop, I munch on the skin on the side of my nails, I try to stop but sometimes I just can not resist :eek:. I wish you the best of luck and willpower of steal!

Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm sorry I didn't spot your post beforehand. I was so excited yesterday about my blog being found, my brain went a little fuzzy.

Hi picchinails,

Lovely nails and i like your writing style too.

You have some mad skills.

I am new to nails and am learning but my biggest downfalls are..

Clean up. I can’t make the finished nail look as crisp and the online blogs (except THAT one, I can get that look every time ) irritates the *&^% out of me.

Any crack or wear and, without thinking, I will pick at the nail polish until I suddenly look about and see the parlour covered in nail varnish chips - It must be bad for the nails to be digging and pulling at them. Also it looks horrible, what’s the point of spending time and effort to make them look lovely if the other half of the time it looks like you have been using them to dig a hole in the garden.

Fiddling with them. I find I worry at them when they get over a length, mainly my thumb and little finger. Both are very curved nails and I absent mindedly rub one under the other (only on the one side curiously) caused me to break the little nail yesterday.
So my goals today:


File them down a bit to stop the nail rubbing


Take off the half picked off Red stamp from yesterday.


Give them a really good moisturise and a warm oil soak.


Tidy up some snags I have on my little finger and thumb.


Slap on any old polish and spend the afternoon trying to perfect a nice crisp finish.

Also is it odd that I'm not really swayed by the holo polishes, do I need my head looking at? :rotfl:

I thought it was just me! I keep looking at the pictures and thinking I must be missing something.

OMG the stuff on this blog is amazing!

I *need* that fluffy flocking powder.
I wonder if it would work to stamp a pattern then just flock that - like flock wallpaper? I may leave it to someone with better skills to try

Lots of flocking powder here, £1.99 a tub:

I've learned this last few weeks that the addition of the word 'nail' sends basic craft items through the roof. A lot of the time the same products are found for half the price in card making stores. I'm currently trying to work out if translucent nail foil is the same as translucent card making foil.

Hi Ladies,

A question, if you dont mind.

Looking at getting a crystal nail file and you can get from 99p to £22.

Is there a diffrence and what do you look for to make sure its a quality product?

Thank you



Ps i have now discovered, after watching a you tube tutorial or two, that my clean up may be be rubbish because of my remover... a cheap one thats about 2% acetone and thats why hardly anything was coming away while i was using the brush

As such a trip out later to get a better clean up brush, a crystal file some pure acetone............... and may be a polish or two..... is now on the cards

I had a bit of spare time today so I've marbled, not done this for a while.
