Emma of Em’s Little Corner asked whether I could show a comparison of piCture pOlish Blogger and W7 Multi Dazzle. When my bottle of Blogger arrived in the post, I also thought that they were quite similar and I’d already fished out my swatch wheel to compare them. But, polish lovers, you’ll absolutely need both […] Read more
This is one gorgeous glitter bomb. It only arrived a few hours ago, but I could not wait to use it. I opened the package, swatched the polish on a nail wheel, took a quick photo with my smartphone and then tweeted my delight. But then I kept looking at the bottle on my desk. […] Read more
I had some pretty bad tip wear on my nails and wanted to cover it up rather than do a whole new manicure, so I thought I’d do a glitter gradient. I’ve used a gold glitter from Claire’s. Now Claire’s don’t put the names of their polishes on their bottles – which really bugs me. […] Read more
A couple of months ago, fellow blogger Emma of Naily Perfect posted about this polish in a Facebook group I belong to. Soon, we were all lusting after it and I duly trotted off and bought it, but am only now getting around to getting it on my finger nails! I love it. It’s a […] Read more
I used PVA glue as a base coat for the first time yesterday. And it certainly gave the right results as far as easy removal of glitter is concerned. But, it did have its drawbacks. Taking it off was really simple – and very satisfying for a picker like me. It just scraped off easily […] Read more
I wanted to do some Easter nails, but I’m not particularly religious, nor did I want cutesy bunny nails. So instead I thought I’d try to recreate some mini eggs on my nails. We love Cadbury mini eggs in our house, so why not?! I was a bit flummoxed when I looked more closely at […] Read more
Well, March is fast becoming a month of new favourites. I decided my new favourite polish was OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook, and now I have a new favourite glitter topper. This is L’Oreal Confettis, one of four new polishes in their Top Coat range. It’s a clear base glitter top coat that consists of […] Read more
I rarely fall straight in love with a polish and go out and buy it immediately. Typically, I hear about a new collection coming out via the blogs I read, and then I see some swatches. I may notice a polish or two, but most of the time I’m trying not to buy any more […] 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
When I first started doing my nails and reading nail blogs, I came across the word “lemming”. I was perplexed at first; it seemed to be both a noun and a verb. As in: “that’s a lemming of mine” and “I have been lemming for that”. I had no idea what these people were all […] Read more
