I have been quite remiss about using my A England polishes. I own ten of them, but have only worn three for a full manicure before. Even my much wanted Galahad still remains untried, despite me having bought it back in January. I have used A England Lady Of Shalott before, but only as part […] Read more
This isn’t my best effort at stamping, but I like the colour combinations and the plate. I’ve used Konad plate M73 and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Ruby to stamp over my Nails Inc You’re A Peach manicure. I bought a number of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes after reading that they stamp well, but I this […] Read more
The June issue of InStyle magazine comes with a free Nails Inc polish. There are three shades to choose from, and each has been created exclusively for the magazine. The colours have rather tacky, TOWIE-style names, but at least you can work out what colours they represent. They are: You’re A Peach, Totes Pink and […] Read more
I had some pretty bad tip wear on my nails and wanted to cover it up rather than do a whole new manicure, so I thought I’d do a glitter gradient. I’ve used a gold glitter from Claire’s. Now Claire’s don’t put the names of their polishes on their bottles – which really bugs me. […] Read more
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
