I bought this polish quite a few months ago now, and loved it so much I thought I would wear it straight away. But I bought it near the beginning of my polish obsession, when I was buying so much polish it seemed I’d never wear all of it! (And that still seems quite a […] Read more
I wasn’t going to take my colour blocked manicure off so soon, but something made it really soft (doing the washing-up, I think!) and it easily peeled off a nail or two. OK, so I’ve stretched the truth here a bit. It didn’t so much peel as *was* peeled – I’m a consummate picker! Sally […] Read more
I don’t much like pink nail polish, but there are a few shades of pink that I am drawn to over and over again. Magenta is one colour I always love. This shade of magenta has something special to it though. This is L’Oreal Color Riche Insolent Magenta. It’s a bright fuschia pink that goes […] Read more
Picture this scenario that I was met with yesterday … My current manicure is ready to come off. I have about half an hour before I am due to receive a delivery that needs to be stored in my garage. The garage has a fiddly lock that typically wrecks my nails anyway, even if they’re […] Read more
I think this polish may just have gone to number one spot for me. I love blue and I especially love turquoise. And this is the most perfect shade of turquoise ever. It’s not too green (I really don’t much like green) and it’s not too dark. Absolutely spot on I think. As with all […] Read more
As of today, I have 139 untried polishes. On average, I wear 3 manicures a week. 139 divided by 3 gives 46 (ish). There are about 44 weeks of 2013 left. So … I have enough polish to last me until the middle of January 2014. That’s ridiculous. I have to stop buying polish. I […] Read more
I wore this manicure on my birthday recently. We went to Brighton and stayed the night before my birthday in a nice hotel in the marina, then stayed around the following day and had a lovely lunch in English’s, a fantastic seafood restaurant. It was a very enjoyable and much welcome mini break, made perfect […] Read more
I was hoping to do some Valentine’s Day nail art, but work has been so busy this week that I didn’t get around to it. So my nod to Saint Valentine today is red. (I always have enough time for a new manicure, at least!) This is L’Oreal Rouge Cancan. And if it lasts well […] Read more
Yesterday, I tried to stamp over my Wined Up manicure, and wanted to add an abstract pattern in gold. But it just wasn’t working for me. Even my trusty lint roller wasn’t removing my mistakes very well. So I ended up taking it all off and plumped instead for this gorgeous purple colour from Ciaté […] Read more
I have long been wanting to own Chanel Malice. It’s a gorgeous deep wine red, with a sparkly undertone of shimmer. But I can’t find it anywhere. It was a limited edition that came out for Christmas 2012, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the lead up to Christmas at all. Of course, I […] Read more
