It’s time for a random untried in the Never-ending Pile challenge. And I’ve used two for this one! My first untried is the purple: Rimmel Purple Reign. It’s a lovely shade of purple that has an almost imperceptible gold shimmer to it. You can only see it really close up and it doesn’t seem to […] Read more
I’m starting another challenge today. This one is the brainchild of Missy from Gnarly Nails, and is being run through her Glittah Pirates Facebook group. It’s the The Never-ending Pile challenge and the quest is to use up all those untried polishes we addicts hoard. As at today, I have 229 unworn polishes. That represents […] Read more
Superdrug is celebrating 50 years of trading, and they’ve a few brands helping them to do that. I know there are some limited edition GOSH polishes, and Barry M has a limited edition polish also. It’s aptly called Superdrug Birthday (NPSDB) and is pink to reflect the brand’s colour. It has a mix of tiny, […] Read more
I was wearing Nails Inc Big Apple Red, which came as a freebie in December 2013’s Glamour magazine. And, as is usual for me with Nails Inc polishes, it had chipped. I was going to remove it, but instead decided to touch up the chips and add a glitter topper. This is Magic Goose Reindeer […] Read more
I wore this manicure back in the middle of February – for my birthday, as it happens. I started off just wearing L’Oréal Mystic Blue as it’s one of my favourite polishes. We were staying away for a few days – my birthday falls in half term week every year – and I’d been treated […] Read more
I was wearing Pacific, which is the blue-green ducochrome from the new Barry M Aquarium collection, and I was all ready to test out some nail tattoos that I had been sent by Fake Tattoos. I received two packs of tattoos, with various designs on them, including birds, fish, anchors, ice-creams, palm trees and boats. […] Read more
I have admired Gloss ‘n Sparkle’s Slowly Growing Deaf from afar for a while. I tried to get it in a blog sale, but failed. And then I came across it quite by chance on Rainbow Connection; I didn’t know they sold it! It’s a lovely pale blue, packed full of tiny silver and red […] Read more
After a week of Valentine’s nail art manicures, this is the polish I actually wore on Valentine’s Day. It’s Fusion, by Luv Polish, a UK indie polish maker. Fusion is quite sheer and jelly-like, so I chose L’Oreal Femme Fatale, a mid red, as undies. However, it too proved to be quite jelly-ish, so I […] Read more
I wore this manicure a little while ago now, at the end of January assuming the date on my camera is correct. I wasn’t sure I really liked it and it only stayed on for one day. I was disappointed a bit by it. I very rarely wear glitter toppers, except when used for glitter […] Read more
I have another Laquerdaisical polish on today. This is Load of Pollocks, a fab, multi-coloured glitter in a white base. I’m a sucker for these kinds of polishes. KBShimmer Oh Splat! is one of my favourites of all time. Seeing as the Royal Mail loves to destroy inbound polish parcels, this one from UK indie […] Read more
