Newsprint Manicure

The January 2011 entry documented a playful nail trend: newspaper print transferred onto manicured nails. The look had already been spotted and photographed on other blogs, and the post recreated that style at home for anyone who wanted to try it.

Entries in the beauty archive also collect the small everyday updates and personal notes that filled the blog between 2011 and 2017, alongside longer pieces on fashion and lifestyle.

  • A hands-on DIY beauty experiment from January 2011.
  • Styles recreated after being seen on other nail and beauty blogs, including A Pretty Penny and The Daily Nail.
  • Photography credited to Ramsey, Ashley and Hannah.
