This polish is a worldwide first. It’s truly innovative and very exciting. Invented by Hilary Tunley, this is the world’s first dried nail polish. Hilary’s “Nelly Mixture” comprises the natural pigments, glitters, mixing balls and suspension ingredient. To turn these into one of her polishes, you simply add them to an ordinary bottle of clear […] Read more
It was grey, rainy and miserable the other day so I decided to wear a fairly recent purchase of mine, Harmony from Emily de Molly … mainly because the base colour matched the clouds! The polish has a light grey base and has white, lavender, purple and turquoise glitters in it. There’s also a very […] Read more
I recently bought Sakura from Sally Magpies, along with three other Emily de Molly polishes. This is the one that I chose first when I was buying them, as I loved it so much. I love the simplicity of the colour scheme, and I love round glitters. My son used to go to school with […] Read more
I wore a red top to my son’s school Speech Day (prize giving day) yesterday and matched it by wearing China Glaze Ruby Pumps. Today I wanted to switch things up a bit and do something that I could also blog about. (I’ve blogged about Ruby Pumps before). I decided to add striping tape near […] Read more
I’ve not done a reverse glitter gradient before – I’ve only ever done a gradient at the tips end. To my Chanel Malice manicure, I firstly added some red glitter: Ciaté Enchanted Rose. It was one of the special edition polishes that came in last year’s advent calendar. It was gloopy as anything and I […] Read more
This is the second of the Yogurt Nails collection from The Face Shop that I bought recently. One of my readers, Leona, asked if I would swatch it. I don’t normally swatch my polishes; I just post about them when I’ve worn them. But I wasn’t too sure how long it might take me to […] Read more
It’s so frustrating looking at beautiful indie polishes that we can’t easily – or cheaply – get here in the UK. I’ve long been an admirer of Emily de Molly polishes, so I was thrilled to find out that Sally Magpies was going to be stocking them. It didn’t take me long to choose from […] Read more
I was reading Cazzy Durcan’s blog, SpecialGirl Nails, and saw her review some great-looking South Korean polishes, called the Yogurt Nails collection from a brand called The Face Shop. I loved the look of all five polishes in the range, but eventually decided to buy the two that Cazzy hadn’t bought, the yellow and green […] 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
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
