Q for quirky for the A2Z series challenge was a tough one. So I took the easy option and used a polish from Quirk. This is Éponine, made by Kerrie from Quirk Polish (and the blogger behind PishPosh & Polish). Sadly, she stopped making her indie polishes last year. It is a clear base with […] Read more
The UK indie polish scene has grown so much during 2013, thanks in part to new UK-based suppliers offering the suspension base and pigments. As a round-up of what’s available, I’ve done a list of the UK indie makers and their websites. The details are below, but going forward, I thought a permanent page would […] Read more

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
