At one of the stands at the Professional Beauty Show at ExCeL back in February (can’t remember which stand) I saw some foil nail remover wraps. They were for removing gel nails, but for those of us who don’t use gel polish, I thought they might be good for removing glitter nail polish. When I […] Read more
I adore turquoise, and I love it on my nails too. It’s my favourite shade of blue. I feel like every single turquoise/aqua/light teal polish I buy is fantastic. I loved OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook and A England Galahad and Barry M Guava. But I think this one is the most perfect turquoise that […] Read more
I’m often a little disappointed by the colour of a Sally Hansen polish because the glass of the Complete Salon Manicure bottles is quite thick, meaning they appear lighter than they really are. That was the case with Anenome Of Mine. I love the colour in the bottle, but it’s a tad darker on the […] Read more
Inspired by the name of the summer 2013 collection – L’Été Papillon, meaning summer butterfly (or is it butterfly summer?) – I decided to try out some butterfly nails for the first time. After applying two coats of Azuré, I sponged on Bel-Argus towards the tips of my nails. I had thought that this lovely […] Read more
This is another of the Limited Edition polishes from the Chanel L’Été Papillon summer 2013 collection: Azuré. It’s a metallic duochrome that shifts from green to blue. Most of the time, it’s at the more teal / turquoise green end of the spectrum – for me anyway – but I can see the darker blue […] Read more
I wanted to do a cling film manicure (aka Saran wrap manicure if you’re from the US). I was already wearing a base of Chanel Lilis, so I thought it would be nice to use a complementary colour with it. I checked online, and it seems turquoise and coral are complementary colours. So I added […] Read more
It was our wedding anniversary (16 years) last Friday,and my husband bought me the three new L’Été Papillon polishes as an early present. From the three polishes in the collection, I really thought Bel-Argus – the metallic, cobalt blue polish – would be the first of the three to make it onto my nails, but […] Read more

I was reading Cazzy Durcan’s blog, SpecialGirl Nails, and saw her review some great-looking South Korean polishes, called the Yogurt Nails collection from a brand called The Face Shop. I loved the look of all five polishes in the range, but eventually decided to buy the two that Cazzy hadn’t bought, the yellow and green […] Read more
I felt like I was gradually getting through my untried polishes, but I have six new ones on their way, so it’s one step forward, two steps back! Hey ho! Nice problem to have, I guess. Today’s nails are polished in Addictive Plum from L’Oréal. This shade is darker than it shows in the bottle; […] Read more
