I’m on a bit of a Barry M roll recently. It’s not that hard though. I have 38 Barry M polishes – way more than I have of any other brand – and they have such a range of great colours, it’s highly likely I will pick one of them before any others. This is […] Read more
Ozotic is an Australian brand of nail polish that we in the UK are lucky to be able to get hold of via Sally Magpies. The 12 multichromatic polishes from the 500 series were actually discontinued in the middle of last year, but while stocks last, you can still get them from Sally Magpies. If […] Read more
I’ve been reading a lot about the new Sequin Nail Effects polishes from Barry M. Almost every post has been negative about them. I had been really excited about the white one, with its primary-coloured glitter, and was desperately waiting for it to be released. And then the early reviews revealed that it was a […] Read more
I did these nails for a little girl I see at my son’s cricket training most weeks. She’s fascinated by my nails – most people aren’t, so I am grateful for her interest – and she asked me to do something different for this week’s training, not just a plain colour. But, she wasn’t there […] Read more
The new Summer 2013 collection from Chanel, L’Été Papillon, launches next Friday 31st May in the UK. It launched at the Covent Garden pop up store a week early, and my lovely husband, who collected Malice for me from there last week, had pre-ordered these three for me as an early anniversary present. True love, […] Read more
I have another of the new Gelly- Hi-Shine polishes from Barry M to show today. It is from the new Summer 2013 range that launches shortly. This is Guava, a gorgeous teal colour. At first glance, I thought it was reminiscent of A England Galahad or OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook. But it’s brighter, deeper […] Read more
My one true red, glass-flecked polish love was always Essie Leading Lady. I adore it on my nails, but the application difficulties I had with it left me so disappointed. So I went out and bought Ruby Pumps in the hope that it might fill the gap in my heart! I love it. It’s so […] Read more
I didn’t think I’d like the “hairy” polishes, you know, the ones with bar glitter. The new trend for these polishes packed with matte bar glitter was passing me by because I just didn’t think I liked them. So I ignored the launch of feather effect polishes from Nails Inc., and then ignored the launch […] Read more
If you had a colour that was a perfect mix of pink, orange and red, and which you could not describe except by using ALL those words, then you would have Barry M Passion Fruit. Passion Fruit is from the new summer range of Gelly Hi-Shine polishes. Five new shades have been added to the […] Read more
This is my first (successful) full manicure water marble. Before I started blogging, I attempted a water marble manicure on all ten nails, but it was pretty rubbish because there wasn’t enough contrast in the colours I used, and I quickly removed it. I’ve also done one accent nail water marble, which I loved and […] Read more
