I’m still behind in the A2Z series challenge, but I am catching up. For valuable, I’ve used Christian Louboutin Lova stamped with Chanel Kaleidoscope. These two polishes are amongst my most valuable. Christian Louboutin sells for £36 a bottle, and is the priciest polish I own. The polish I’ve stamped with is Chanel Kaleidoscope. This […] Read more
This week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge is either brush stroke or favourite brand. Having not done a brush stroke manicure before, that was my immediate choice. I wasn’t sure how – or if – it differed from a distressed manicure, so I had a quick search to find out more. In searching, I […] Read more
Look at those perfect polka dots! Now, before you think I’ve become all conceited and boastful, I’ll explain that they’re only perfect because they are round glitters. Fab eh? I can now have perfectly formed dots whenever I want, thanks to these white round glitters that I bought from Born Pretty Store. Of course, if […] Read more
I seem to be posting every day at the moment, and so I was thinking of missing out a few of the Never-ending Pile challenge days to give myself a bit of a break. But for this particular prompt, I changed my mind – all for the sake of my ten-year old son! You see, […] Read more
I really love Chanel polishes. They’re very much a luxury at £18 each, but the formula is always perfect and anyway, I tend to receive them as gifts. Coup De Coeur is no exception. My husband bought it for me on my birthday back in February. We were staying away for a few days, and […] Read more
It’s day 2 of the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge and the theme today is kisses. When I first started being interested in nails, I remember being struck by a lovely manicure with metallic pink and silver kisses on it. Of course, now that I want to refer to it, I can’t find […] Read more
I only received one nail polish for Christmas [ahhhh], but it was a good one! It was a Chanel. So this is Chanel April, part of the Spring 2012 collection, Harmonie De Printemps. I really don’t know quite how to describe the colour of this. It’s not red, not pink, not plum. So what is […] Read more
I recently had an operation to remove a cyst from the top of my foot. It had been there for more than three years and was increasingly causing me pain and limiting how far I could walk. Despite the hope that I would be able to walk pain-free again, I kind of wish I hadn’t […] Read more
Today in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge it’s art with the colour you own the most of. (Ooh, a terminal preposition. The pedant in me would shout “bad grammar”! I’ll let it pass 😉 ) I own more blues than anything else. At current count, 87 of my 393 polishes are blue. That’s […] Read more
I’ve used Chanel Bel-Argus before, in my butterfly manicure, but this is the first time I’ve worn it on its own. It’s a metallic, sapphire blue. But it’s also duochromatic, so you can also see (sometimes) a hint of turquoise. The duochrome is very slight, and best seen in sunlight, so while you can’t see it […] Read more
