Stamping Plate: Konad M64

I got this stamping plate back in 2011 and haven't used it much recently so the examples of nail art I have done using it aren't the best!


The images stamp across fine, my issue with the plate is the full size nail images are just not full nail size on my nails.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Tape Mani

As today is a Thursday I am throwing back to some nails I did in 2010, and recreating them now 11 years later to see if I have improved! While I don't own all the exact polishes used originally, I have used similar colours.


Silver Polish | Essence - Hex Hex!
Green Polish | Nails Inc - Optic Wave

Striping Brush


Not sure what I was thinking with the thumb French design originally, I think I have improved my painting as well as my tape skills.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Pastel Green Polishes


I don't have many pastel green polishes so this question wasn't difficult.

Barry M Sugar Apple which is a very light pastel green, the formula is good too needing two coats for opacity and pastel polishes are well known for streaky formulas.

Review: Lush - The Comforter Bath Bomb


"Fizzing fast to create fruity foam of purple, pink and white, this cloud-like ball of cassis will help you unwind before you hit the hay. A merry berry blanket of blackcurrant comforts and a burst of brightening bergamot oil refreshes and resets the mind. Meanwhile, soothing cypress oil ushers in a tide of comfort and joy" - Lush


The shape of this bath bomb is different from the standard round bombs from Lush.

The Comforter Bubble Bar is my go to for bubbles from Lush, this is the same scent just in a different format. Blackcurrant is the overpowering scent from this, the scent seems stronger on the bath bomb than the bubble bar. Takes a while to completely fizz in to nothing.

Turns the water an opaque pink colour, the scent lingered on my skin for hours. I didn't find it did anything to my skin other than scenting it.

Overall I liked this bath bomb and would repurchase it, which is a rare thing as I only seem to go for two of the many bath bomb options from Lush.
