L’Oreal Rouge Cancan

I was hoping to do some Valentine’s Day nail art, but work has been so busy this week that I didn’t get around to it. So my nod to Saint Valentine today is red. (I always have enough time for a new manicure, at least!) This is L’Oreal Rouge Cancan. And if it lasts well […] Read more

L’Oreal Black Swan

That’s it. No more housework for me! I chipped the nail on the index finger of my left hand while filling the dishwasher. I filed down and rounded off the missing corner, which enabled me to keep the length of the nail, but it looks silly now. I’m thinking I may need to round the […] Read more

New Year’s Nails

We’re going to friends tonight for drinks, then coming home for a nice meal (before probably dozing on the sofa to Hootenanny and then being woken by the fireworks at midnight!). And tomorrow we are out for a meal with some other friends. So I want to do some New Year’s nails, but I’m not […] Read more

Lincoln Square Lavender

If ever a polish was wrongly named, then it is this one. This is not lavender. It is pink. OK, so it errs on the more purpley side of pink (albeit the pictures don’t show that at all well – my nails look full on Barbie pink looking at the pics!), but lavender to me […] Read more
