I’m often a little disappointed by the colour of a Sally Hansen polish because the glass of the Complete Salon Manicure bottles is quite thick, meaning they appear lighter than they really are. That was the case with Anenome Of Mine. I love the colour in the bottle, but it’s a tad darker on the […] Read more
This is another of the Limited Edition polishes from the Chanel L’Été Papillon summer 2013 collection: Azuré. It’s a metallic duochrome that shifts from green to blue. Most of the time, it’s at the more teal / turquoise green end of the spectrum – for me anyway – but I can see the darker blue […] Read more
It was our wedding anniversary (16 years) last Friday,and my husband bought me the three new L’Été Papillon polishes as an early present. From the three polishes in the collection, I really thought Bel-Argus – the metallic, cobalt blue polish – would be the first of the three to make it onto my nails, but […] Read more
I felt like I was gradually getting through my untried polishes, but I have six new ones on their way, so it’s one step forward, two steps back! Hey ho! Nice problem to have, I guess. Today’s nails are polished in Addictive Plum from L’Oréal. This shade is darker than it shows in the bottle; […] Read more
My husband and son bought me Frenzy for Christmas, but this is its first time seeing the light of day. As with all Chanel polishes I have tried, the formula is lovely and easy to use. It’s sheer but still just glides on the nail, without any pooling at the cuticles. I had to use […] Read more
I’m steadily making my way through my untried polishes. Because I still have more than 140 untried polishes, it’s always hard to pick the next colour to wear. I often ask my husband or son to choose a polish. And I often veto their choices too! Today, I made my own choice. This is Beauty […] Read more
I’m on a bit of a Barry M roll recently. It’s not that hard though. I have 38 Barry M polishes – way more than I have of any other brand – and they have such a range of great colours, it’s highly likely I will pick one of them before any others. This is […] Read more
The new Summer 2013 collection from Chanel, L’Été Papillon, launches next Friday 31st May in the UK. It launched at the Covent Garden pop up store a week early, and my lovely husband, who collected Malice for me from there last week, had pre-ordered these three for me as an early anniversary present. True love, […] Read more
I have another of the new Gelly- Hi-Shine polishes from Barry M to show today. It is from the new Summer 2013 range that launches shortly. This is Guava, a gorgeous teal colour. At first glance, I thought it was reminiscent of A England Galahad or OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook. But it’s brighter, deeper […] Read more
If you had a colour that was a perfect mix of pink, orange and red, and which you could not describe except by using ALL those words, then you would have Barry M Passion Fruit. Passion Fruit is from the new summer range of Gelly Hi-Shine polishes. Five new shades have been added to the […] Read more
