This week’s special offer Nella Milano nail polish is Lemon Sherbet, a bright, vibrant yellow. It comes from the Four Seasons collection, a collection of four shades to match the seasons, in green, yellow, orange and coral. It wasn’t streaky or patchy and was perfectly opaque in three thin coats – wonderful for a yellow! […] Read more
Today’s swatch is of Nella Milano Periwinkle Pucker. I didn’t know what colour periwinkle was for sure, so I looked it up, and it’s a bit more purple-leaning than this shade is. I’d describe this as a pale blue; perhaps a cornflower blue. This manicure is three coats, but it was fine after two. In […] Read more
SpaRitual has launched its new summer 2015 collection, called Gathering. It comprises six rich colours, including this one, Tend. Tend has an overall mustard-leaning gold colour. It has a yellowy-gold base and small gold flakies, which give a lovely shimmery finish. I tried painting this on its own at first, but it left some visible […] Read more
I have another swatch of a Nella Milano nail polish today. This is Blushing Bloom, a bright hot pink. It comes from the Bramble collection, a collection of three complementary, but quite different colours. It went on very easily, although was slightly more liquid than other Nella Milano polishes I’ve tried. It was perfect in […] Read more
It’s Nella Milano day today – meaning it’s Wednesday and there’s another Nella Milano polish on their website at half price for a week! Today, it’s a spicy orange called Chilli Blaze. This is a wonderful shade that really suits me. I do like orange anyway, but Chilli Blaze has something slightly intriguing about it. […] Read more
Today I have a review of Nail Geek Clear Skies, a cornflower blue colour from Makeup Revolution. It’s a really beautiful colour. I do love my blues, and this one is a great colour. I was surprised to find that I have little that comes close to it in my collection. It dried averagely quickly, […] Read more
I am wearing a lovely, soft, pale pink today. It’s Nella Milano Pinkifield. I thought it was called Pinkified at first, which I thought was a fab name. But I was didn’t read it quite right – there’s an L in there – and I’m not sure what Pinkifield means. Perhaps someone at Nella Milano […] Read more
I have another swatch of a Nella Milano nail polish today. This is True Blue, a bright cobalt blue cream. It is part of the Forget Me Not collection, a collection of three complementary blue creams. The polish went on easily and dried very quickly too. I’ve been impressed in general with the drying time […] Read more
This is a swatch of Bundle Monster Boca Catalina, a bright green gel nail polish. I didn’t know what the polish’s name meant, until I looked it up and discovered that it is a beach in Aruba. It’s a pretty apt name for this colour having now seen photos of the sparkling green Caribbean waters. […] Read more
I have another Nella Milano swatch today. This is Sizzling Sienna. I find it quite difficult to describe the shade of this nail polish. It’s a browny-pink sort of colour. It’s a bit like the colour that plasticine was (maybe still is, I have no idea), only a bit more pink. It’s definitely evocative of […] Read more
