This week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish is Chestnut Road, a rich dark brown, with a slight hint towards red. It’s a classic conker (horse chestnut) colour and comes from the Winter Soirée collection, which is a collection of four red-based shades. I don’t know what it is about Nella Milano, nor how they […] Read more
If you haven’t used gel polish yet, but you’re curious, I have a fabulous and very inexpensive way for you to try it out. Bundle Monster has teamed three classic gel polish colours with a mini torch-based (flashlight for the North Americans!) LED curing light. And all for what I think is a great value […] Read more
This week’s swatch is of Nella Milano Mercury Haze. It’s a mid to dark grey that comes from the Misty Morning collection, which is five shades that range from black to white. I needed two coats for sufficient coverage. They both dried quickly and left a good shine. This is an autumn-appropriate shade – lovely […] Read more
This is September’s Coloristiq Manicure Box. It’s called Nails and the City. Coloristiq are the people behind the nail polish “hire” scheme. But you purchase this box, not hire it, so you get to keep the goodies! It costs £15 plus £2.80 P&P. Every box is themed and this month the nail polishes celebrate some […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Iron Spring. It is a very difficult shade to describe. It’s detailed on the Nella Milano website as being browny-grey, which you can’t disagree with. But, in some lights, it has a murky green tone to it, making it more of a khaki or a dusky olive […] Read more
I recently got some nail pops from Lady Queen, and they’re perfect for my gel nail polishes. If you’re unsure what they are, nail pops are plastic rings with a nail on them, which you can polish and clip onto your polish bottle lids. Most regular nail polish comes in clear glass bottles, so it’s […] Read more
This week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish is Peach Schnapps, a delicate and soft pale peach. It comes from the Lorescen collection, a collection of four nudes. Nude polish is (once again) very on trend this autumn, so it’s a great time to be showcasing this polish. It was opaque enough for my liking […] Read more
On the Nella Milano website, the polish on special offer this week is Fiery Flamenco. Its precise shade is difficult to pin down. It seems to be almost exactly in the middle of red and pink. The name doesn’t help much: flamenco dancers wear mainly – but not exclusively – red dresses. But, they’re often […] Read more
Nella Milano Summersby is the colour of the week and is the current special offer polish on the Nella Milano website. It’s part of the Tyrian collection, a collection of four lilac and purple shades, including two that I have previously swatched: A Royal Affair and Lady Lavender. (Vintage Violet is the fourth polish. I […] Read more
Nella Milano Cheery Bon Bon is this week’s special offer Nella Milano polish. It’s a deep but bright pink that leans slightly to cherry or raspberry. Just the name cheers me up – it’s cheery, as is the polish colour. It’s a really fabulous statement colour that would look great any time of year but […] Read more
