There are three free Nails Inc polishes with June 2014’s InStyle magazine (out now). It’s a Brazilian-themed collection, with a bright pink, a darkish coral, and a creamy nude. I don’t much like Nails Inc polishes as they always chip on me, but I was taken enough by the colour of the nude polish that […] Read more
This is the second of some polishes I was sent for review by Graffiti Nails. Tuscany is a gorgeous shade of orange. I don’t have anything like this already. It’s on the yellow side of orange and has a burnt quality about it. I did a Google image search for “Tuscan orange” and the colours […] Read more
Graffiti Nails is a new brand of polish that launched last month. Popular blogger, Alice, of One Nail To Rule Them All, is involved with the brand, which currently comprises thirteen polishes, a base coat and a top coat. There are plans to introduce other nail art items, and to bring tutorials and video guides […] Read more
I spotted the Fresh Therapies Natural Nail Polish Remover in Scratch magazine and thought it looked good. It’s supposedly more gentle on your nails and cuticles, leaving them less prone to dehydration, weakness and cracking. Sounds good to me. My nails are dry, weak and tend to split, peel and crack and I know that […] Read more
I bought Revlon Cherries In The Snow for £2 in The Original Factory Shop. It’s one of my favourite places to stalk inexpensive polish. Despite its name (cherries are red, surely?), it’s a pink colour and it’s very sheer and runny. As with most Revlons, it could flood the cuticles if you’re not careful. I […] Read more
I was wearing Nails Inc Big Apple Red, which came as a freebie in December 2013’s Glamour magazine. And, as is usual for me with Nails Inc polishes, it had chipped. I was going to remove it, but instead decided to touch up the chips and add a glitter topper. This is Magic Goose Reindeer […] Read more
I really love Chanel polishes. They’re very much a luxury at £18 each, but the formula is always perfect and anyway, I tend to receive them as gifts. Coup De Coeur is no exception. My husband bought it for me on my birthday back in February. We were staying away for a few days, and […] Read more
I wore this manicure back in the middle of February – for my birthday, as it happens. I started off just wearing L’Oréal Mystic Blue as it’s one of my favourite polishes. We were staying away for a few days – my birthday falls in half term week every year – and I’d been treated […] Read more
I spotted the new Barry M Aquarium collection in Superdrug on Tuesday. There are four duochromes and two glitters. Both glitters are shard glitters and I wasn’t sure I’d like them, so I gave them a miss. But I bought two of the four duochromes; the darker shades – this one and Pacific, which is […] Read more
I have admired Gloss ‘n Sparkle’s Slowly Growing Deaf from afar for a while. I tried to get it in a blog sale, but failed. And then I came across it quite by chance on Rainbow Connection; I didn’t know they sold it! It’s a lovely pale blue, packed full of tiny silver and red […] Read more
