When buying some nail polish recently I was overcharged but didn’t realise until I got home. My husband returned to the shop for me, and instead of a refund, picked me up a new polish – gotta love him! He chose China Glaze Tempest. This is a shimmer polish with a hint of a duochrome. […] Read more
I thought I would freshen up yesterday’s manicure with a bit of stamping. There are special polishes that work with stamping plates. They’re thicker and more pigmented. But there are plenty of other “regular” polishes that work just fine. Without knowing if the colour I chose would be one of those or not, I took […] Read more
I woke up this morning with wrecked nails. Yesterday’s manicure had come off (OK, I had picked it off), but worse than that, I had a broken nail. I was having too much of a good time (and too much to drink!) and caught my hand on someone else, breaking off the top of the […] Read more
We had an anniversary party to go to yesterday, and I had decided to accent the ring finger of each hand with a “caviar” manicure. This look was first created (and then commercialised) by Ciaté, but has been widely copied since. I was excited to do the manicure and it was really easy. I used […] Read more
In yesterday’s post, I was praising eye CANDY LONDON’s It’s All Good. But despite finishing my manicure (three coats and a top coat) by early afternoon – I woke up this morning with sheet marks on my nails. I have never had that before. They did say they don’t use “fast drying formulations”, well I […] Read more
I was going to put some glitter over the Purr-fect Plum I’m wearing from yesterday, but then changed my mind and decided I would try out some dotting instead. My attempts were particularly woeful though, so I took it all off and started with a new manicure altogether. This is eye CANDY LONDON It’s All Good. […] Read more
Purr-fect Plum is part of China Glaze’s On Safari collection. The shade is described as a “bold burgundy” and that’s pretty much spot on. It’s certainly a deep wine colour; very reminiscent of a good Bourgogne! Like all China Glaze polishes I’ve used so far, it goes on beautifully. It’s a great formula and as I’ve used it […] Read more

Hello. (I think I’m only talking to myself at the moment, though!) I’ve recently become rather addicted to nail polish. I’ve been sharing my manicures on Facebook and I’ve mainly been boring or annoying most people. Judging by some of the comments, some of my friends seem to think that I am not busy or […] Read more
