Today across the UK, many people are celebrating The Big Lunch. It’s a chance to get together with neighbours and have lunch in “a simple act of community, friendship and fun”. Our road is holding a street party, and as today also marks the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation, we’ve also had a bit […] Read more
I’m steadily making my way through my untried polishes. Because I still have more than 140 untried polishes, it’s always hard to pick the next colour to wear. I often ask my husband or son to choose a polish. And I often veto their choices too! Today, I made my own choice. This is Beauty […] 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
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
This fortnight’s question for the British Nail Bloggers is “What’s your oldest polish?” I wasn’t entirely sure which is my oldest polish, but I have narrowed it down to three. Each of them was bought way before my nail polish obsession started. I only really began painting my nails about a year ago. During the […] Read more
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
I was going to be conventional (read boring) and was trying to find a matching light blue to go with L’Oreal Sky Fits Heaven, which I was already wearing. I had an idea to do outline nails because I’ve not tried them before. So I was looking through my swatch wheels trying to find a […] Read more
I have so many blue polishes. Almost a quarter of my polishes are blue. And until today, half of them were untried. I’ve reduced the untried number by one by wearing this wonderful bright blue from L’Oreal. It’s Sky Fits Heaven and it is just beautiful. I really love L’Oreal Color Riche polishes. You don’t […] 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
