It was announced this week that Google Reader is going to be retired. I was really disappointed with this and signed a petition to try to keep it. I expect that Google won’t be reversing its decision though, however many signatures the petition gets (it’s at 115k as I write) so I looked around for […] Read more
I bought this polish quite a few months ago now, and loved it so much I thought I would wear it straight away. But I bought it near the beginning of my polish obsession, when I was buying so much polish it seemed I’d never wear all of it! (And that still seems quite a […] Read more
We’ve started this as a new feature on the British Nail Bloggers Facebook group I belong to. Basically, once a fortnight (or so), each of us that wants to take part answers some questions on nails or blogging. Then we all link into each others’ posts. So, this is the first feature and is all […] Read more
Despite some great feedback on a Facebook group I belong to, I really didn’t like Sally Hansen Ion on me – it was just too light. But it was perfect as a base for some nail art. I wasn’t sure what to do, so thought I’d try something completely new to me – using a […] Read more
I wasn’t going to take my colour blocked manicure off so soon, but something made it really soft (doing the washing-up, I think!) and it easily peeled off a nail or two. OK, so I’ve stretched the truth here a bit. It didn’t so much peel as *was* peeled – I’m a consummate picker! Sally […] Read more

I picked up four of the new 2013 Color Club Halo Hues at the recent Professional Beauty Show at ExCeL – the black, gold, blue and purple ones. It was the blue one that I really wanted, but they were so very holographic that I ended up buying four of the six. I don’t know […] Read more
Well, March is fast becoming a month of new favourites. I decided my new favourite polish was OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook, and now I have a new favourite glitter topper. This is L’Oreal Confettis, one of four new polishes in their Top Coat range. It’s a clear base glitter top coat that consists of […] Read more
I don’t much like pink nail polish, but there are a few shades of pink that I am drawn to over and over again. Magenta is one colour I always love. This shade of magenta has something special to it though. This is L’Oreal Color Riche Insolent Magenta. It’s a bright fuschia pink that goes […] Read more
Picture this scenario that I was met with yesterday … My current manicure is ready to come off. I have about half an hour before I am due to receive a delivery that needs to be stored in my garage. The garage has a fiddly lock that typically wrecks my nails anyway, even if they’re […] Read more
