This is a nice shade. It’s Revlon Bewitching, and it’s a rich, deep, raspberry colour. I have similar colours that have “plum” in their name, but it’s more red and less purple than something I would describe as plum. In some lights it looks completely burgundy, but most of the time it has a deep […] Read more
I was going to be conventional (read boring) and was trying to find a matching light blue to go with L’Oreal Sky Fits Heaven, which I was already wearing. I had an idea to do outline nails because I’ve not tried them before. So I was looking through my swatch wheels trying to find a […] Read more
I have so many blue polishes. Almost a quarter of my polishes are blue. And until today, half of them were untried. I’ve reduced the untried number by one by wearing this wonderful bright blue from L’Oreal. It’s Sky Fits Heaven and it is just beautiful. I really love L’Oreal Color Riche polishes. You don’t […] Read more
I have been desperate to get hold of Chanel Taboo ever since I first saw it. It launched about a month ago in the US, but Chanel polishes tend to come out a little later over here. The lady at one Chanel counter I visited said it sometimes takes more than a year for products […] Read more
I had seen a lovely manicure on Pinterest using colours similar to this and done as a cloud manicure. I was going to recreate it exactly, but changed a couple of things. Firstly, the original creator had used Essie Mint Candy Apple. I’ve overdone the mint a bit recently and wanted to try it with […] Read more
I bought three of the Barry M nail art pens last week – in white, silver and black. I have been itching to try them out, so I added to my W7 Sunset Island manicure with some tiger stripes. I’m really not the best freehand artist there is – and these still aren’t that great […] Read more
It’s sunny! So, it’s time to put on some sunny polish. This is W7 Sunset Island; a bright orange polish with gold shimmer. I actually put this on yesterday – when it wasn’t so sunny – but I feel like I’ve influenced the weather for today and made it turn out so beautifully clear, sunny […] Read more
In my nail polish database, I’ve labelled this polish as a brown. But I’m beginning to think it should have its own classification. Slate is such a difficult colour to describe. It’s grey-brown with a tinge of purple. And Sally Hansen Slick Slate is spot on to that (rather muddled) description. I’m still not sure […] Read more
Until today I had lost my stamping mojo a bit. Every time I’ve tried stamping recently, it was a complete disaster. So I had been put off it. Today though, I received my first ever bottle of proper stamping polish. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to buy it. It works far better than […] Read more
Wow – this is my 100th post. That was quicker than I thought. I’ve written 100 posts in 5 months, so I’m averaging about 20 a month. I obviously change my polish more than I thought! Yesterday I bought MUA Pistachio Ice Cream. I wasn’t looking for any particular polish, but I was drawn to […] Read more
