I really couldn’t work out if this polish is blue or lilac. Most blogs describe it as blue, and it does look blue in the daylight. But in the evening and in low light, it looks more lilac. Anyway, I’ve decided it’s probably blue. A cornflower blue with a very fine shimmer that is just […] Read more
This polish is a worldwide first. It’s truly innovative and very exciting. Invented by Hilary Tunley, this is the world’s first dried nail polish. Hilary’s “Nelly Mixture” comprises the natural pigments, glitters, mixing balls and suspension ingredient. To turn these into one of her polishes, you simply add them to an ordinary bottle of clear […] Read more
It was grey, rainy and miserable the other day so I decided to wear a fairly recent purchase of mine, Harmony from Emily de Molly … mainly because the base colour matched the clouds! The polish has a light grey base and has white, lavender, purple and turquoise glitters in it. There’s also a very […] Read more
For the past two days, I’ve been showing some SpaRitual polishes, and today I’ve combined the two into some nail art and also have a great giveaway for you to enter. I’ve used a base of Delight, then I’ve added some vintage roses. I used SpaRitual Last Tango for the base of the roses. Then […] Read more
This is the second of the two SpaRitual polishes I am showing in collaboration with three other bloggers (see the links below for their swatches). This is Last Tango. It’s a bright, slightly pink-leaning coral and is part of the Instinctual collection. Last Tango is quite sheer and I used four thin coats for this […] Read more
I am really excited to show you a new (to me) brand, SpaRitual. I have two polishes to show today and tomorrow, and then on Thursday I have some nail art using both polishes, plus a UK giveaway where you can win the two polishes plus a SpaRitual Multi-Tasker Base & Topcoat. I’m tying up […] Read more
The base colour of Beyond is not very summery; it’s a very dark grey … almost black but not quite. But it’s holographic, which absolutely is summery. Having said that, the sun isn’t out very much today, so I had to quickly grab a photo while I could. This polish is one of the 2013 […] Read more
I wanted to add something to my Blue Grape manicure, and decided on a gradient. Ordinarily when doing a gradient manicure, I will start with a base coat of the lightest colour, and then sponge on both the light and dark colours together. But I didn’t do that as I was already wearing the darker […] Read more
Blue Grape is the final polish I’m wearing from the summer Gelly Hi-Shine collection. It’s a vibrant cobalt blue and lovely and glossy, as is the case with all the Gelly Hi-Shine polishes. The colour is very similar to Nails Inc. Baker Street, but it’s shinier and has more depth. I do love the colour […] Read more
I won a giveaway! It’s the first one I’ve won. I’ve entered loads, so I’m so excited to have won this one. It was hosted by the lovely Inky (she does have a real name, but she chooses not to use it on her blog, so I won’t disclose it) of Inky Whiskers Musings. She […] Read more
