I bought Barry M Bright Purple only very recently. So it’s a very lucky polish to go from stash to nails within about a week. Not all polishes are that lucky. My oldest untried is now 8 months old. But this one made the transition because I haven’t worn purple for a while, and the […] Read more
When I pulled out A England Lady of Shalott to use the other day, I spotted Galahad. I bought this at the same time in January and was absolutely desperate to get hold of it back then. But for some reason it has just languished in my growing untried pile. I was pleased to see […] Read more
I have been quite remiss about using my A England polishes. I own ten of them, but have only worn three for a full manicure before. Even my much wanted Galahad still remains untried, despite me having bought it back in January. I have used A England Lady Of Shalott before, but only as part […] Read more
The June issue of InStyle magazine comes with a free Nails Inc polish. There are three shades to choose from, and each has been created exclusively for the magazine. The colours have rather tacky, TOWIE-style names, but at least you can work out what colours they represent. They are: You’re A Peach, Totes Pink and […] Read more
This is a nice shade. It’s Revlon Bewitching, and it’s a rich, deep, raspberry colour. I have similar colours that have “plum” in their name, but it’s more red and less purple than something I would describe as plum. In some lights it looks completely burgundy, but most of the time it has a deep […] Read more
I have so many blue polishes. Almost a quarter of my polishes are blue. And until today, half of them were untried. I’ve reduced the untried number by one by wearing this wonderful bright blue from L’Oreal. It’s Sky Fits Heaven and it is just beautiful. I really love L’Oreal Color Riche polishes. You don’t […] Read more
I have been desperate to get hold of Chanel Taboo ever since I first saw it. It launched about a month ago in the US, but Chanel polishes tend to come out a little later over here. The lady at one Chanel counter I visited said it sometimes takes more than a year for products […] Read more
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
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
