When I go to Brasil, I hang up my nail-doing shoes and leave my talons on the expert hands of Rosângela, a lovely lady who goes to my family home to sort out mum’s nails – she also does gran’s, two aunties’ and a cousins’ nails every week.

Tuesday is nail day and Rô has a huge range of lovely nail art “stickers”. Most of them are hand painted by another lady on plastic, and Rô buys them and applies to the nails.

This week I chose a pretty leopard print, to fuel my addiction. I chose two accent nails, one full and a half, on each hand.

The other nails were painted with the lovely Anita Neon Cancun. Then she finished with a sparkly topcoat similar to my Orly Prisma Gloss Silver and Nails Inc Electric Lane, although the final effect is not as good.

Overall, a very cute manicure, I am very pleased.
