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
I don’t wear pink very often as I don’t think it suits me. But I’m quite pleasantly surprised by this shade. Although it’s rather bright and in your face, I think that’s why I like it; bright colours suit my skin tone. This is Models Own Pink Blush. It’s a bright, almost neon, pink creme. […] Read more
A couple of months ago, fellow blogger Emma of Naily Perfect posted about this polish in a Facebook group I belong to. Soon, we were all lusting after it and I duly trotted off and bought it, but am only now getting around to getting it on my finger nails! I love it. It’s a […] Read more
This is my first splatter manicure. And I can confirm that it was a lot of fun to create. I used Barry M Matte White and Essie Orange, It’s Obvious over the top of my previous Ciate Power Dressing manicure. After laying down lots of newspaper and taping up my nails, I dipped a straw […] Read more
I love it when magazines give away polish as freebies. And this month (May issue) you get a free bottle of Ciate nail polish with Marie Claire magazine. There are two colours to choose from: Sand Dune, a shimmery gold colour; and Pocket Money, which is more difficult to describe. It looks like a pale […] Read more
I tried dotting some yellow and white flowers over my Barry M Sping Green manicure, but I just didn’t like the outcome, so took that off and decided that navy blue was the way to go. Ciate Power Dressing is a lovely shiny two-coater, that went on so well. I received the Ciate advent calendar […] Read more
It’s not only Easter Sunday, but also the start of British Summer Time in the UK. What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring (officially at least!) than with Spring Green from Barry M? I’m not a green lover at all, but I saw Emma Bunton of the Spice Girls wearing this (or something […] Read more
