When I pulled out A England Lady of Shalott to use the other day, I spotted Galahad. I bought this at the same time in January and was absolutely desperate to get hold of it back then. But for some reason it has just languished in my growing untried pile. I was pleased to see […] 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 have been quite remiss about using my A England polishes. I own ten of them, but have only worn three for a full manicure before. Even my much wanted Galahad still remains untried, despite me having bought it back in January. I have used A England Lady Of Shalott before, but only as part […] Read more
I wanted to accent yesterday’s manicure, so decided to add some studs to it. I bought these square silver studs fairly recently, but hadn’t tried them out yet.

I bought five new A England polishes in the special offer at the beginning of the year. Technically they’re supposed to be a present for my birthday, but I’m sure my Mum and Dad won’t mind me wearing one of them a bit early 🙂 My favourite of the five I bought was Galahad, a […] Read more

I finally had to use my “proper” camera to photograph my nails for this post. However I adjusted the settings on my mobile camera, I just couldn’t faithfully capture the purple of A England Avalon. It just kept on coming out blue. So I dusted off the DSLR and bit the bullet (still didn’t do […] Read more
I can’t seem to leave a plain manicure alone. I loved how my nails looked from yesterday, but they needed a second coat and a top coat, and while I was there doing that I had a bit of a play. I’ve never tried a braided nail before (sometimes called a fishtail braid). Lucy’s Stash […] Read more
I came home yesterday from a day’s training (I run one-day marketing courses in London) to find a package waiting for me. For a moment, I couldn’t recall having ordered anything, so I ripped it open to discover five new A England polishes! Oh yes, now I remember. [Ooops, must stop ordering polish! Bank balance […] Read more
