Bundle Monster has a new gel polish collection out, called Ain’t No Basic B!tch. They are “speed gels”, which is Bundle Monster’s term for one-step gel polish. They don’t need a base or top coat, just two coats of the gel polish itself, and you don’t need to wipe off the sticky layer either (because […] Read more
Today’s swatch is of Nella Milano Desert Fox. It’s a lovely, neutral, warm caramel shade. I think it would be a great polish for interviews, or for if you can only wear subdued colours for work. For me personally, it’ll see a lot of wear to client meetings. (I’m a freelance marketing consultant by day!) […] Read more
Nella Milano Sweetie Darling is this week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish. It’s a lovely bright pink; bold and cheery. It comes from the Amador collection, a collection of five pinks and reds. It provided great coverage in two coats. I must apologise that my photos aren’t particularly colour accurate. The colour shown in […] Read more
This week’s swatch is of Nella Milano Scarlet Heat. It’s a classic red; slightly darker and a touch less orange than The Rubinator. It was good at two coats and they both dried speedily and to a great shine. I really rate Nella Milano polishes. I’ve been so impressed with them. They come in a […] Read more
This beautiful blue is Nella Milano Madame Pompadour. It is a medium, slightly dusky blue. Some people see it leaning more purple or violet, but it doesn’t look like that on me; it’s just blue. I had no idea after whom it was named, but having looked her up, I now know all about her. […] Read more
These gold and black houndstooth French tips feature SpaRitual Tend as the base and are stamped with an image from Born Pretty Store BP-L013. I hadn’t intended for them to have French tips at first, but you’ll read why I added them in just a bit. Tend is a mustard coloured polish, with small gold […] Read more
This week’s special offer Nella Milano polish is Evergreen. Aside from mint green and lime green, I don’t particularly like green on my nails. And I’m afraid the same goes for this mossy green too, so I won’t comment too much on the colour. I’m sure it will have its fans and I’ll leave it […] Read more
Nella Milano Grey Goose is the colour of the week and the special offer polish on the Nella Milano website. It’s part of the Misty Morning collection, a collection of five white, black and grey polishes. It’s quite a light grey creme. It’s not a particularly summery shade, but with the British weather as it […] Read more
Today I have a swatch of Nella Milano Moon Whisper. It is a very delicate, refined pale pink shade; perfect for French manicures and wedding nails. It’s very sheer. This took four coats and still isn’t opaque. Normally I’m not keen on visible nail line, but there’s something about this colour and its delicacy that […] Read more
Today’s swatch is of Nella Milano Crystal Coral. I typically think of coral – the colour – as being lighter and more pink than this. But I know that coral comes in all sorts of colours, including this deeper, more orange hue. This polish reminds me of the time when my sister bought some coral […] Read more
